"'To the eagle-bearing Misthios.' That's you."

―Barnabas to Kassandra, 431 BCE.^[src]

Kassandra was a Spartan mercenary who fought during the Peloponnesian War. She was the elder sister to Alexios and, through her mother, Myrrine, the grandchild of King Leonidas of Sparta.

Biography

As a child, Kassandra was presented with the broken Spear of Leonidas, an Isu weapon, as an heirloom by her mother. Because of her prestigious lineage, great hopes were placed upon her to live up to the strength and valor of Leonidas. However, following a great tragedy, she was sentenced to death and her own father, Nikolaos, was set on personally carrying out the execution.

Surviving the punishment, Kassandra fled into a life of exile. Living in Kephallonia, she grew to become a mercenary who made her home on Barnabas' Adrestia.

Kassandra befriended an eagle called Ikaros at some point in her life, and they adventured a lot together.

Kassandra also made the acquaintance of an Athenian girl named Phoibe, and a man named Markos sometime before 431 BCE.^[2]

Trivia

Kassandra, Κασσανδρα, is an Ancient Greek name derived from possibly κεκασμαι (kekasmai) 'to excel, to shine' and ανηρ (aner) 'man', altogether meaning 'shining upon men'.
Kassandra is one of two selectable protagonists in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, alongside Alexios. Regardless of who the player chooses, the two protagonists share the same story. However, the novelization of the video game confirms that Kassandra is the canonical protagonist.
Both Alexios and Kassandra have the same romance options. This means that you can choose your character's sexual orientation.
Kassandra has a scar on her left upper lip.
