Bubares: Difference between revisions

"Anyone can kill. It takes intelligence and empathy to maim."

―Bubares' motto.^[src]^-[m]

Bubares (died c. 429 BCE), also known as the Conspirator, was a Persian emissary and a member of the Order of Hunters branch of the Order of the Ancients during the 5th century BCE.

Biography[edit | edit source]

As an Order of Hunters member, Bubares was sent to Makedonia in Greece to hunt down "Tainted Ones", including Darius and his son Natakas, during the Peloponnesian War. Serving under the Magus Pactyas, Bubares was tasked with recruiting the Makedonian villagers and farmers into their cause and expand the Order's influence.^[1] In order to do this, Bubares wandered around the countryside of Makedonia.^[2]

His passing did not go unnoticed, however, and as Bubares' meetings were relayed by a riddle and signaled by a burning pyre, the traces of one at a farm within the Unexplored Mount Pangeon leading Darius and the Spartan misthios Kassandra to Bubares' trail.^[3] Ultimately, they ambushed Bubares at the farm of Aiantides' brother, and Kassandra killed him.^[4]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

Bubares is a fictional character from Assassin's Creed: Odyssey's downloadable expansion Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted. His name derives from Βουβάρης (Boubárēs), Ancient Greek for "buffalo, ox", and he shares it with a Persian nobleman and engineer who was a cousin of King Xerxes I.^[5]

Along with Timosa and Pactyas, Bubares is the only Order member who is slain as part of the expansion's main quest.
