Kassandra

"'To the eagle-bearing Misthios.' That's you."

- Barnabas to Kassandra, 431 BCE.

Kassandra was a Spartan mercenary who fought during the Peloponnesian War. Through her mother, Myrrine, she was the grandchild of King Leonidas of Sparta.

Biography
As a child, Kassandra was presented with the broken Spear of Leonidas, an Isu weapon, as an heirloom by her mother. Because of her prestigious lineage, great hopes were placed upon her to live up to the strength and valor of Leonidas. However, she was sentenced to death in the aftermath of a tragedy with their own father, Nikolaos, set on personally carrying out the execution.

Surviving the punishment, Kassandra was forced into a life of exile. Living in Kephallonia, she grew to become a mercenary who made her home on Barnabas' Adrestia.
