Biography
As an 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 and feared and respected. Truth was, 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 there, too, and The Monger of the Peloponnesian League branch of the Cult took him aside, torturing him until Brison agreed to kill Phidias, a famous Athenian sculptor. Unknown to the Cultists, the Spartan misthios Kassandra witnessed this.[2]
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, seek to inflict it on others. Podarkes also requested Brison to join him on the Silver Islands, and help him snuff out the rebellion on Delos and Mykonos.[1]
He had made his base at the Salamis Marble Quarry.[1]
He was eventually hunted down and killed by the Spartan misthios Kassandra over the course of her quest to destroy the Cult.[1]
