The Dagger was a syndicate of bandits and thugs located on Skyros and Euboea, Greece during the Peloponnesian War. They worked from the shadows using blackmail and bribery to control the people and economies of the Abantis Islands. The group was founded and led by a man calling himself 'the Kingfisher'.

History

Around 431 BCE, the Dagger kidnapped a farmer who wouldn't pay them tax. The Spartan misthios Kassandra was tasked with finding the farmer by his wife Rhoeo.[1] The slave Agapios, acting on the orders of his magistrate master, later employed Kassandra to find out the true identity of The Kingfisher and clear suspicion from his brother, Neritos.[2]

A smuggler working for The Dagger was using the local performers Prexileos and Idyia to spread the Dagger's propaganda via their theater and the children in the couple's care. The smuggler initially paid them for their services, but then ceased, threatening to come after the children if they stopped. Prexileos wanted the man dead and would have killed him himself if not for Idyia persuading him not to. Kassandra later put a stop to the smuggler.[3]

The Dagger controlled ships as well, and one of them was sunk by a slave master around 431 BCE. Though the slave master perished as well, one of his slaves escaped to the nearby ruins of Eretria and lived to watch the Dagger circling the shipwreck like sharks. When Kassandra met the former slave, she decided to explore the shipwreck and found an unusual dagger within.[4]

Kassandra's investigations found that Agapios' brother, Neritos was in fact The Kingfisher and founder and leader of The Dagger. Kassandra and the Magistrate rushed to confront Neritos at the Temple of Achilles on Skyros, only to find Agapios trying to reason with his brother. In the ensuing confrontation, Kassandra managed to kill Neritos.[5]
