I did research into Greek history and there is no historical records of female heroines except for gods, not even demi-gods, in spartan culture the only way a woman could be given a headstone when she died was to die during childbirth because that was her dying in service to the state and the only reason women had a vote in spartan culture was to give there house a vote cause there husbands were away fighting wars. In Athenian culture women had no rights they could not vote, go to plays, or speak without the permission of men, women in all greek cultures were not allowed to compete in or even attend Olympics games. So it just doesn’t fit well to me yet when you go onto Assassin’s Creed Wikia they refuse to acknowledge any of this and say the developers have said that Kassandra is the Canonical Character because she’s the person that is being followed in the book yet when you look at many other novelizations they have followed other people other then the characters you played like Blackbeard, Haytham Kenway, Elise de La Serre, and Henry Greene so i dont see her being the canonical character as a good reason to wipe Alexios completly from being the main character in the game. So I feel what ever information you guys add to Kassandra's page it should also be added to Alexios' page for both to be seen as the main character. | I did research into Greek history and there is no historical records of female heroines except for gods, not even demi-gods, in spartan culture the only way a woman could be given a headstone when she died was to die during childbirth because that was her dying in service to the state and the only reason women had a vote in spartan culture was to give there house a vote cause there husbands were away fighting wars.

That makes alot of sense. I am torn on either playing as Kassandra due to her being the correct canonical or Alexios because he looks so badass and awesome. | |||

Canon protagonist for ACOD: Alexios or Kassandra?
Which choice between the male or the female protagonist is the canon one? I heard a rumor that the discarded choice will come back as an antagonist later in the game, so from a Wikipedian perspective we will have to make a choice for the articles... since Alexios is the one featured on the cover art and in the trailer, I propose to settle for Alexios for now. Until Ubi clarify the matter at some point later.Maxattac (talk) 22:19, June 11, 2018 (UTC)
- Players choose between Kassandra or Alexios to have as the protagonist, and regardless who they pick, the dialogue options are still the same. Like how Mass Effect has a male and female Commander Shepard, seems Ubi is following suit. And this has been confirmed by Ubi and by Scott Phillips, the Game Director for Odyssey. I admit I'm unsure how we'll address pronouns in Odyssey's plot summary, but I think our best bet is to use "the Spartan", as it'll cover both characters. -- Darman (talk) 22:56, June 11, 2018 (UTC)
Can we make a share page for Alexios and Kassandra under the name of "the eagle" as they was called during the gameplay. It will be more easy for the future writing of their story.Francesco75 (talk) 06:42, June 12, 2018 (UTC)
- This, or something along the lines, gets my vote, too. Would make linking stuff like "descendant of Leonidas" easier, too. Sadelyrate (siniath) 10:40, June 12, 2018 (UTC)
How about, since the official reveal and E3 gameplay was all Kassandra, choose her for now? Sadelyrate (siniath) 08:25, June 12, 2018 (UTC)
- In contrast, on boxart + all official promo images is Alexios. So don't think we should use her as canon, i think they will be showing both of them trought year. But we will need to find some way to do it, if rumors are correct that main antagonist of game would be protagonist you didnt choose. --Kulurak (talk) 10:22, June 12, 2018 (UTC)
- Currently. Before yesterday, we didn't even know about Kassandra, the chance to pick the protagonist. So would your position change if they came out with box art, a slew of promo (and other) pics featuring her? Sadelyrate (siniath) 10:40, June 12, 2018 (UTC)
According to the trivia, the novelization of the game considered Kassandra to be canon, therefore shes the main character. Its a shame kinda, I was leaning towards Alexios due to his stature everything.
I did research into Greek history and there is no historical records of female heroines except for gods, not even demi-gods, in spartan culture the only way a woman could be given a headstone when she died was to die during childbirth because that was her dying in service to the state and the only reason women had a vote in spartan culture was to give there house a vote cause there husbands were away fighting wars. In Athenian culture women had no rights they could not vote, go to plays, or speak without the permission of men, women in all greek cultures were not allowed to compete in or even attend Olympics games. So it just doesn’t fit well to me yet when you go onto Assassin’s Creed Wikia they refuse to acknowledge any of this and say the developers have said that Kassandra is the Canonical Character because she’s the person that is being followed in the book yet when you look at many other novelizations they have followed other people other then the characters you played like Blackbeard, Haytham Kenway, Elise de La Serre, and Henry Greene so i dont see her being the canonical character as a good reason to wipe Alexios completly from being the main character in the game. So I feel what ever information you guys add to Kassandra's page it should also be added to Alexios' page for both to be seen as the main character.
