	If Athens controls Abantis Islands while Skylax remains alive, he hides in the forest of [[Artemision Point]] in [[Euboea]] and with either just a few or no guards around, making his assassination relatively easy. Players should note that, even though he is no longer the region's leader in this scenario, having any witnesses to his assassination (including other guards) will still incur a two-to-three helmet bounty for "killing a leader."

As a sign of his allegiance and loyalty, Skylax bore a mark of [[Peloponnese\|Peloponnesian]] royalty on his breastplate.<ref name="~~ACOD~~">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]''</ref>		Prior to the Peloponnesian War, Skylax served as a general in the [[Spartan Army]] and was married to a woman, the mother of his two children.
