Alexios

Story

Alexios is the grandson of King Leonidas I of Sparta. Thrown from Mount Taygetos as a child to fulfill a prophecy, he survived and was raised on the island of Kephallonia. He works as a misthios, a mercenary for hire, during the Peloponnesian War. He possesses Isu DNA, granting him superhuman abilities through the Spear of Leonidas. His journey involves reuniting his fractured family, hunting down the shadowy Cult of Kosmos, and discovering the truth about his lineage and the First Civilization. Depending on player choice, he can be either the hero (Eagle Bearer) or the antagonist (Deimos). He is a central figure in the struggle between order and chaos, navigating the political and mythical landscapes of the 5th century BCE.

World

In fifth-century BCE Greece, the Peloponnesian War fractures city-states, families, and loyalties across the Aegean. Political power, mercenary contracts, ancient artifacts, and Isu remnants shape a world where myth and history overlap. Alexios operates as a Misthios (Mercenary), moving between rival factions while pursuing family truth and resisting the Cult of Kosmos.

Appearance

A muscular man with olive skin, dark brown hair often tied back, and a short beard. He typically wears various sets of Greek armor, ranging from simple leather to ornate Spartan bronze. He is often seen carrying the broken Spear of Leonidas on his back or waist.

Current outfit

Ornate Spartan bronze cuirass worn over a short crimson fabric tunic, matching metal greaves and bracers, with the glowing broken Spear of Leonidas carried as a signature weapon.

Era

Ancient Greece during the Peloponnesian War, featuring sun-drenched Aegean islands and classical marble city-states.

Notes

Stoic and charismatic, Alexios is determined to reclaim his family and uncover his identity, yet hot-headed impulses and childhood abandonment can turn resolve into vengeance. The broken Spear of Leonidas grants superhuman strength, agility, and foresight; the cost is being hunted by the Cult and bearing a bloodline that spans millennia. He wears a Spartan cape and travels with Ikaros.
