Alastor, Bringer of Demons

Allegiance

• Athenian

Region

• Representative of Megaris

Alastor, Bringer of Demons was known as a non-believer. Stories say he spent one terrifying night in the fabled "Petrified Forest" and was met by Medusa. Forever changed, he never doubted the gods' existence again.

Mercenaries

Talos the Stone Fist

Heart Condition

• Takes more damage from Assassinations

Death From Above

• Takes more damage from Ranged Attacks

Originating from Thrace, Talos the Stone Fist had a name to be taken literally. As big as a boulder, he was known to pound his enemies' heads into the rock faces of many Kephallonia mountains.

Hyrkanos the Cunning

Shell Skin

• less Ranged Attack

Pyrophobia

• more Fire

Hyrkanos was a mercenary working for Athens with a mission to sabotage Spartan war efforts in Megaris. He was a master at manipulating others to do his bidding so he could remain elusive.

Persis the Vulgar

Mithridatism

• Takes less damage from Poison

Heart Condition

• Takes more damage from Assassinations

Persis the Vulgar was a poet in her own right. Those who met her blade were treated to a cacophony of slurs and oddities right before they died.

Alkyone the Dragon-Skinned

Awareness

• Takes less damage from Assassinations

Fireproof

• Takes less damage from Fire

It’s said Alkyone the Dragon-Skinned was stabbed, lit aflame, and shot repeatedly with arrows, but never failed to laugh it off. Like a proud parent, she carried her scars and would happily spend all night regaling anyone who would listen with the stories of how she got them.

Polybios the Snake-Haired

Shell Skin

• Takes less damage from Ranged Attacks

Canine Trainer

• Travels the world with a dog companion

Because of the dark ringlets coiled upon his head and eyes that glowed of amber, Polybios the Snake-Haired left his victims with the impression that they were seeing Chrysaor's face as they died. The chance that any of these descriptions of Polybios is true is highly unlikely, but they are the only ones that exist.

Mausolos the Escapist

Awareness

• Takes less damage

Pyrophobia

• Takes more damage from Fire

Mausolos the Escapist was an escaped helot turned mercenary after leading a riots in Messenia against the Spartans. He was a spirited warrior who would have preferred dying on the battlefield to getting caught.

Machaon the Glorious

Fireproof

• less Fire

Relentless

• Will never flinch when receiving damage

Driven by his hubris, Machoan wanted future generations to tell the tales of his feats, and his legend to be remembered like the great Achilles. It’s unlikely anyone else will write about him though, and unfortunately this is all there is to write.
