"I swear on my life, and the lives I will take from others, I will not fail the Kosmos again."

―Brison^[src]

Brison (died 431 BCE) was a member of the Delian League branch of the Cult of Kosmos during the Peloponnesian War.

Biography[edit | edit source]

As the attractive son of a rich Athenian artist, Brison lived his life easily used by others. When he learned of the Cult of Kosmos, he thought that would change; he believed that being part of the Cult would make him strong, feared, and respected. Upon joining, however, nothing much changed, and Brison was seen by his fellow Cultists as someone to be used.^[1]

In 431 BCE, the Cult of Kosmos met at long last in their shrine beneath the Sanctuary of Delphi in Phokis. Brison was present for this meeting, where the Monger of the Peloponnesian League branch of the Cult took him aside to confront him over his failure to kill Phidias, a famous Athenian sculptor. Ultimately, the Monger tortured and killed Brison for his failure, something the Spartan misthios Kassandra secretly witnessed.^[2]

Legacy[edit | edit source]

In 2018, when Layla Hassan relived the memories of Kassandra via a degraded genetic sample found on the Spear of Leonidas using her Animus HR-8.5, it simulated an alternate version of events. In it, Kassandra interrupted the Monger's torture session, and Brison survived the encounter.^[3]

Later, a fellow member of the Delian League, Podarkes, wrote Brison a letter, telling him how his cries at the shrine had been heard by everyone and how Brison should cherish that pain, so that he could inflict it upon others. Podarkes also requested Brison to join him on the Silver Islands and help him snuff out the rebellion on Delos and Mykonos.^[4]

Having learned that the Cult wanted Phidias dead, Kassandra made her way to Athens to learn more. She was tasked by Perikles, the leader of Athens and a statesman, as well as a friend of Phidias, to save the sculptor. In return, Phidias' informer friend, Theras, gave Kassandra a letter his people had intercepted, one written by Brison to his mother.^[5]

In the letter, Brison urged his mother to leave Athens, as "dark forces" were targeting artists, and after Phidias, his mother was the most well-known. Brison also told his mother to abandon his father if need be, and that Brison himself should be safe at the family-owned quarry in Salamis.^[6] This revealed his location to Kassandra, who travelled to the quarry on the Isle of Salamis and killed Brison.^[7]

-The events shown in the game and in the tie-in [[Assassin's Creed Odyssey (The Official Novelization)|novelization]] are contraditory. In the game, the Monger asks Kassandra if she would like to participate in the torture session. Kassandra can choose to torture Brison herself, convince the Monger to give him another chance or leave Brison for him to torture. Brison can't die, whatever the choice she makes. In the novel, Kassandra doesn't interfere in the session, so Brison dies on the Monger's hands. It is more likely that the events shown in the game are canon.<ref>[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (novel)|''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' (The Official Novelization)]] – Chapter 6</ref>
