The Krypteiawere an elite Spartan military unit charged with the training of young Spartan men and the protection of the Two Kings of Sparta, up to and during the Peloponnesian War. They represented Sparta's ultimate achievement in military training, and their discipline and fearlessness was considered to make Sparta's army the most feared in all the Greek world.[1]
In 429 BCE, the Spartan misthios Kassandra was tasked by Pausanias with eliminating a number of Krypteia around Lakonia.[1]
Trivia
- The side quest Bully the Bullies is one of only a handful of missions missable throughout Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and as such it is uncertain if Kassandra canonically eliminated the Krypteia, as she was asked.
