The Wolf of Sparta was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

The time had come for Kassandra to confront her father Nikolaos, the Wolf of Sparta, and revisit the ghosts of the past.

Dialogue

Stentor took his leave of Kassandra, displeased that Nikolaos wanted to meet her alone at the top of the cliffs. Kassandra made her way there along the dirt road lined with Spartan soldiers.

• Spartan Heavy Soldier: The Wolf awaits you. You fought well today - for a mercenary. Don't keep the Wolf waiting.

Kassandra gained the top of the trail.

• Kassandra: This is it... What do I even say...

Her mind quickly flashed back in time.

• Civilian: Murderer! She has killed him!
• Myrrine: Kassandra!

With new found determination, Kassandra walked forward to meet the "Wolf".

• Nikolaos: So you are the champion who won the day. Tell me your name, hero, so that I may greet you as a true warrior.
• Kassandra: Chaire, pater. It's been a long time.
• Nikolaos: Impossible. I saw you fall.
• Kassandra: I didn't fall, you fucking threw me to my death.
• Nikolaos: I did what was required of me as a Spartan. I've made my peace with that. You need to as well.
• Kassandra: You were my father. You were supposed to protect me.
• Nikolaos: You were reckless. You forced my hand.
• Kassandra: I was protecting my brother because you wouldn't.
• Nikolaos: The Oracle decreed that Alexios had to die. Her word is absolute. You know that.
• Kassandra: You can't cower behind your sense of duty anymore...
• Nikolaos: Enough! I can't change the past Kassandra... I will live and die a Spartan.
• Kassandra: There's a large reward for the mercenary that can collect the Wolf's head.
• Nikolaos: Is that why you're here?

(If players choose "I've come to get answers.")

• Kassandra: You've avoided the past long enough. Now you will answer to me.

She pushed him back, catching him just before he could fall from the edge of the cliff. After a long moment, she threw him to the ground behind her.

• Kassandra: Though you deserve death, there is no honor in vengeance. You must face the ghosts of your past, pater. And that is a fate worse than death.
• Nikolaos: I have failed in my duty. I failed to protect you... to protect both of you. I loved you - and your brother as if you were truly my own. But you were never mine.
• Kassandra: What do you mean?
• Nikolaos: That is a question you should ask your mother.
• Kassandra: Wait-
• Nikolaos: Find your mother.
• Kassandra: Find her?
• Nikolaos: Wherever Myrrine is, she knows far more than I do.

Nikolaos began walking away.

• Kassandra: Where will you go?
• Nikolaos: To find my honor. Beware the snakes in the grass, Kassandra.

Kassandra was then left alone atop the cliff.

• Kassandra: I need to get out of here. I should head back to Barnabas.
