	Even before Kleon rose to power in Athens, Rhexenor served as his enforcer, helping Kleon become a noteworthy politician and eventually the leader of Athens.

	~~When~~ Kleon rose, Rhexenor followed close behind, ensuring that the blade was there, always visible ~~only~~ enough to remind Athenians how ~~they~~ best behave.

	Despite Rhexenor's ~~attempts~~, there were still those who resisted Kleon's rule. Eventually, Kleon demanded that Rhexenor ~~deals~~ with the playwright [[Aristophanes]] once and for all, or else Kleon would come for Rhexenor's head. To do this, Kleon suggested that Rhexenor target Aristophanes' favorite actor, [[Thespis]], and his '[[Muses\|Muse]]', the ''[[Courtesan\|hetaera]]'' [[Aikaterine]].<ref name="A-Musing Tale">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[A-Musing Tale]]</ref>		Despite Rhexenor's best efforts, there were still those who resisted Kleon's rule.

	Rhexenor ended up threatening Aikaterine's life if she approached Thespis, and ordered a group of his men, led by [[Andras]], to take Thespis to the [[Tavern, Athens\|Tavern]] and get him drunk while one of them, [[Bulis]], looked for Thespis' copy of Aristophanes' latest [[The Knights (play)\|play]].
