| The name "'''Tainted Ones'''" is an epithet given by the [[Order of the Ancients]] to those [[human]]s directly descended from the [[hybrid]]s (and as such, the [[Isu]]) who possessed extraordinary skills and abilities.
| |
| | |
| During the 5th century BCE, some such individuals were recognized by the greater human population and believed to be direct descendants of the gods.<ref name="ACOd">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]''</ref> Because of this, individuals like [[Kassandra]] and [[Alexios]] were often referred to as a "demigod," and revered as such by people like the [[Worshippers of the Bloodline]], a branch of the [[Cult of Kosmos]].<ref name="ACOd" />
| |
| Others, despising these traits and considering such individuals as being "less than human" referred to them as ''Tainted Ones'', however.<ref name="LotFB:H">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted]]'' – [[Protector of Persia]]</ref>
