	During the 432 BCE Olympics, Testikles went out drinking with [[Paios]], the Pankration organizer.

	Around 428 BCE, Testikles met the exiled Spartan ''misthios'' [[Kassandra]] after one of the [[two Kings of Sparta]], [[Pausanias of Sparta\|Pausanias]], ordered her to escort Testikles to the Olympic games in [[Elis]] as a condition for reclaiming Spartan citizenship for her family. [[Brasidas]] suggested she find Testikles by speaking to his trainer, [[Alkon]] at the [[Dromos, Sparta\|dromos]] of Sparta. Training his other charges, Alkon told Kassandra that he had ordered Testikles to train at a small island in [[Messenia]] in order to prevent any further incidents with his volatile temper, for he had previously assaulted six men and a [[Cattle\|bull]] while on a simple errand to buy fruit at the market.<ref name="Delivering a Champion">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Delivering a Champion]]</ref>		Around 428 BCE, Testikles met the exiled Spartan ''misthios'' [[Kassandra]] after one of the [[two Kings of Sparta]], [[Pausanias of Sparta\|Pausanias]], ordered her to escort Testikles to the Olympic games in [[Elis]] as a condition for reclaiming Spartan citizenship for her family.

	When Kassandra first found Testikles at his residence, he was in a drunken stupor after having consumed several amphorae of wine, which he claimed was for training. It took some convincing before the athlete agreed to accompany the mercenary aboard her ship the ''[[Adrestia]]'', and journey to Elis.<ref name="Delivering a Champion" />		When Kassandra first found Testikles at his residence, he was in a drunken stupor after having consumed several amphorae of wine, which he claimed was for training.
