The name "Tainted Ones" was an epithet given by the Order of the Ancients to those humans directly descended from the hybrids (and as such, the Isu) who possessed extraordinary skills and abilities.
During the 5th century BCE, some such individuals were recognised by the greater human population and believed to be directed descendants of the gods.[1] Because of this, individuals like Kassandra and Alexios were often referred to as a "demigod." Others, despising these traits and considering such individuals as being "less than human" referred to them as Tainted Ones, however.[2]
