"I will follow Deimos to the Underworld, and bring my hordes with us."

―Harpalos^[src]

Harpalos (died c. 420s BCE) was a member of the Worshippers of the Bloodline branch of the Cult of Kosmos, and the leader of the Followers of Ares during the Peloponnesian War.

History

Sometime before the Peloponnesian War Harpalos found a group of the Followers of Ares hiding in tombs, and they welcomed him with open arms. His way of preaching appealed to the Followers, and he became their leader. Under him, the Followers gained the blessing of the Cult of Kosmos, and became an army for the Cult.^[1]

At some point, another Worshipper of the Blood sent a letter to Harpalos, asking him to come to Kythera Island.^[1]

During the Peloponnesian War the Spartan misthios Kassandra embarked on a quest to destroy the Cult. Finding a note on a Follower, Kassandra learned that Harpalos had fled to the Cave of Ares on the island of Keos. Eventually, she found him there and he fell to her blade.^[1]

Trivia

Harpalus is a name shared by multiple characters in Greek Antiquity, among them a fifth century astronomer. In Greek mythology, Harpalus was the name of the son of Amyclas, king of Lakonia and father of Deritus, ancestor of Patreus, founder of Patras.
Another cultist carries a letter that serves as a clue to Harpalos' identity and adds his masked icon to the Cultist branch. However, it is far more likely that the player will have already collected the "necessary" clue to wholly unveil him by killing (and looting) any Follower of Ares in the world, before completing Ashes to Ashes. If that clue is collected first, the former's letter cannot be read in Harpalos' submenu. If the player ignores all Followers of Ares until after the former cultist is dead, both clues can be read in Harpalos' submenu.
- The letter will still be available to read under the submenu for the branch's Sage, provided she herself has not been killed prior to being unveiled.
