	==Trivia==		==Trivia==
	*Most Cultists have a formal "unveiling" along with a boastful quote, either from a clue or fulfilling a relevant quest objective, prior to becoming trackable on the world map. Swordfish, however, is not unveiled in this manner until after his kill is confirmed, with his back already facing the camera in defeat. Cultists who are killed before their unveiling simply skip the boast.
	*Despite Swordfish' comment in his journal, bandits are relatively rare in Messara. Instead, [[Followers of Ares]] populate the area. It is possible that the Followers were in fact working together, or for, Swordfish, though this is unconfirmed.		*Despite Swordfish' comment in his journal, bandits are relatively rare in Messara.
