Bios

Kleon

• Kleon made his fortune in anonymity until Kosmos called on him - Perikles was refusing to go to war, and peace would be profitable for no one. The Cult commanded Kleon to rile the masses, and force Perikles into battle. Despite Kleon's extreme efforts, he failed. Left with no alternative, Kleon took matters into his own hands and began his bloody, violent ascent to power.

Iokaste the Seer

• Iokaste the Seer, the Gods' Breath, the Mystic Sage, held the world by its heart. It was Iokaste who fed the Oracle of Delphi her lies to tell. It was Iokaste who instructed Chrysis to abduct Deimos and raise the child as her own. Iokaste perverted every prayer, every religious rite, turning every act of worship into an offering for Kosmos.

Nyx the Shadow

• The Eyes saw all, but were lead by a woman few had ever seen. As one would expect, "Nyx" was only one of countless names worn by The Shadow. With these came entire personalities, lives, and histories. The Cult needed a nobody, a faceless agent who could be anywhere, and The Shadow was that agent.

Exekias the Legend

• Exekias the Legend fought under no one's banner, and so was able to go where no soldier or hero could. This afforded the Cult great flexibility: where there was struggle against their will, Exekias would appear, as if by coincidence. He drank and celebrated and sang songs with those who opposed Kosmos's will. And then, when the celebration settled, those people were never seen again.

The Hydra

• Hydra the Many-Headed caught the eye of Kosmos through sheer viciousness. Recruited to be a simple ship's captain, the young Hydra instead took command, slaughtering and sinking any who opposed. He united the Cult's fleets and its so-called "gods" of the Aegean, until those sailors who knew them knew to fear them more than Poseidon's wrathful tempests. This fear was Hydra's gift to Kosmos.

Pausanias

• The Cultist King of Sparta had infiltrated the highest position in the Peloponnese, and from that position the Cult sank these lands into war. Not since the Persian invasion had such suffering been felt, and yet the people loved him for it. This was his true power: with the Cult's support, he could send troops marching to Athens's walls, painting the world red, and the people would sing his praise.

Polemon the Wise

• Life's greatest tragedy was that one could know the world and do nothing to change it… A rule that applied to all but Polemon. The Wise was the true architect of the war between the Delians and the Peloponnese. The Cult's reason for the war was simple: control through chaos. Polemon's was simpler: he wanted wealth and would stoke the fires of this war until every Greek son had died in battle.

Aspasia

• Aspasia, daughter of the mighty Axiochos of Miletos, came to wealth and power in the most unlikely of ways: by falling in love. But even having dominion over Perikles and the hearts and minds of all Athenians would not be enough. Her ambition demanded more. To know all. To rule all. Anything less would not be good enough.
