The "Nation Leader", or simply "Leader", was a designation used by the Animus HR-8.5 for Layla Hassan's session during the Peloponnesian War. The actual titles held by the leaders varied between regions, though most common were 'king' and 'representative'.[1]

History

The nation leaders supported either the Delian League or the Peloponnesian League and represented their faction's influence within a region, though they were also subject to manipulation by the Cult of Kosmos, who sought to rule the Greek world, and control the Peloponnesian War to their liking. In order to do this, they either blackmailed the leader, as in the case of Arkadia's archon, Lagos,[2][3] or simply placed one of their own in said position.[4][5] Sometimes the leader was an ally of the Cult, supporting them, as in the case of the Leader of Messara, the father of Melanthos, in the 420s BCE.[6]

While most of the leaders were men, Phoenix of Naxos Island was a woman.[7] Her friend,[8] the pirate Xenia and her crew had occupied Koressia, though Pirate Islands were nominally under the rule of the Delian League or the Peloponnesian League. Xenia's power was such that the title for the leader in the islands was 'Exiled Captain of the Pirate Islands'.[1]

The misthios Kassandra, in addition to killing the members of the Cult of Kosmos who were installed as nation leaders, was also hired to eliminate corrupt leaders at least twice.[9][10]

Notable leaders

Behind the scenes

The Nation Leaders are presented as the rulers of their respective region whether elected or inherited. However only the leaders of Sparta and Attika are historically attested. Other leaders were historically known such as the king of Makedonia, Perciddas II. However in game the Nation Leader of Makedonia, given the title King of Makedonia, is randomly generated and can be assassinated any number of times.
