Skamandrios

Skamandrios the Shadow was a mercenary who was operating in Kephallonia around the start of the Peloponnesian War.

He disappeared when he attempted to sneak into the residence of the Cyclops of Kephallonia, most likely being captured and executed.

Biography
In 431 BCE, Skamandrios accepted an assignment which involved infiltrating the home of the Cyclops, a local crime lord who had established himself as a de facto ruler of the island. The Cyclops' base at Kleptous Bay was as well-guarded as a fort, and, despite Skamandrios' famed nimbleness, he was almost certainly caught and killed. A fellow mercenary on Kephallonia, Kassandra, as the next to attempt such a mission, would recall to herself that he had vanished ever since and that she could only imagine what brutal demise he may have suffered—burning, flaying, and dismemberment were but a few of the Cyclops' usual methods of execution.

Personality and characteristics
Skamandrios earned his nickname, the Shadow, because he was known by the Kephallonians for his stealth and swiftness, skills that he was quite proud of. Nonetheless, owing to his disappearance, they were likely not masterful enough for him to evade detection and capture at the Cyclops' base.
