The Conqueror was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Kassandra came to Boeotia in order to help the Spartan army, as King Archidamos had decreed.

Kassandra made her way to the Spartan Military Camp in Boeotia and walked into the polemarch's tent.
The polemarch turned to face her and she recognized him as Stentor.
Infuriated at the sight of her, Stentor punched her square in the nose. Kassandra staggered back.

Stentor grabbed his spear and readied to fight the misthios, but she drew her own and warned him off through a bloody nose.
She held up the writ from the king.
He walked to the cliff overlooking the region of Boeotia, with the city of Thebes in the distance. Kassandra cleaned up her nose.

(If "Where will I find the champions?" is chosen.)
(If "Why are they helping Athens?" is chosen.)
(If "What makes them so mighty?" is chosen.)
(Leave – "I have what I need.")
Stentor walked off without another word. Kassandra made her way around Boeotia hunting and killing the champions. When the fourth had fallen, she reunited with Stentor at the Spartans' forward camp in the Scorched Rolling Plains.
(Accept – "Let's go to war.")
Kassandra brushed off his venom and turned out of the tent to ready for battle.

With the sun high in the sky, the Conquest Battle for Boeotia began. Kassandra made her way around the battleground slaying captains and hired mercenary help. Before the day was over, the Athenian ranks had broken, and Sparta had claimed control of the region. Stentor basked in his victory.
Stentor repositioned himself.

He drew his spear.
(If players asked "Why do you want to fight?")
(If players asked "What do you gain from this?")
(Leave – "Neither of us has to die.")
Kassandra drew her spear.

Nothing Kassandra said could sway her adoptive brother. They circled each other as Stentor's men looked on, ready to duel to the death.
Before they could take their first lunges with their spears, Nikolaos walked forward and parted the soldiers, chastising his children.

The crowd of Spartan soldiers dispersed and left Nikolaos to speak with his children.
Stentor grasped his father's arms.
Stentor glanced at Kassandra, and she nodded at him. He took his leave.

With Nikolaos' return, Stentor abandoned his quest for vengeance against his adoptive sister. Nikolaos remained with his son and provided guidance as Kassandra took her leave to fulfill her other duties.
The children of Nikolaos fought.
Kassandra countered Stentor's attacks and inflicted deep wounds on him.
Kassandra wounded him to the last of his strength.
Kassandra eventually subdued Stentor and he lay on the ground, defeated. With the fight over and their polemarch disgraced in front of them, Stentor's men abandoned his command. Kassandra approached him.
Kassandra refused to end her adoptive brother's life and walked away. Disgraced, he left the Spartan army and became a mercenary known as Stentor the Fallen.
Boeotia was conquered by the Spartans, allowing them to recoup their losses from when Kleon drove them out of Attika. Kassandra reunited with Stentor and faced the consequences of her actions in Megaris.
