Stentor (born c. 461 BCE) was a Spartan officer and the adopted son of Nikolaos of Sparta who lived during the 5th century BCE.

Biography

In his childhood, Stentor was recognized by Nikolaos for his skills despite his young age. To this end, Nikolaos took in Stentor as his student and trained him under his wing. At some point, Stentor was eventually adopted by Nikolaos as his son. Once Stentor reach the ripe of age, he joined and accompanied Nikolaos throughout his battles.

In 431 BCE, Stentor joined Nikolaos as he led the invasion of the Athenian-controlled region of Megaris. Landing in the harbour, the Spartans were soon blockaded by the Athenian navy and surrounded by Athenian soldiers. However, they were soon able to repel the attack with the help of the misthios Kassandra, who destroyed the blockade. Unbeknowst to Stentor, Kassandra was the daughter of Nikolaos who was believed dead during an incident on Mount Taygetos.

Following Kassandra and Nikolaos' meeting after the decisive battle in Megaris, Nikolaos disappeared, and Stentor became the leader of his men.

In 429 BCE, Stentor was assigned as the polemarch of the Spartan army in Boeotia. After Kleon had taken over Athens, his forces pushed Spartans out of Attika, and thus they had turned their gaze to Boeotia, believing that taking the region would weaken Kleon's position.

Trivia

• The Wolf of Sparta is one of the first quests in which the decisions made have long-reaching effects.
  • Sparing Nikolaos in the quest The Wolf of Sparta allows later side quests which reward Stentor and Nikolaos as crew members on the Adrestia.
  • If Nikolaos is killed, Stentor will attack Kassandra. Regardless whether Stentor is slain or not, he will re-appear in Boeotia, with no explanation of how he survived. He will be even more vengeful towards Kassandra, and without Nikolaos present to stop the battle after conquering Boeotia, Stentor and Kassandra will engage. Stentor is then beaten and either killed or spared. If spared Stentor's men will turn on him and abandon him. Stentor is then exiled from Sparta and becomes a mercenary who will hunt down Kassandra until either slain or knocked out and recruited. If recruited in this manner Stentor will be verbally hostile while serving as a Lieutenant on Adrestia.
