Talk:Misthios

Purpose of this page, sexuality, and other notes
I almost neglected to leave a few important notes to clarify the edits on this article.

The first is that in regards to this character's sexuality, although the ancient Greeks regularly practiced homosexual behavior, this doesn't automatically confirm that Alexios and/or Kassandra themselves are homo/bisexual in particular. Francesco did point out to me that there are romance options in the game, but I think it's as of yet still unclear if the developers have chosen to limit certain options depending on your choice of sex. I agree that this is unlikely as we are now in a period where homosexuality is increasingly being promoted as normal as heterosexuality—which is good—and Ubisoft has had many LGBT characters in this series in the past, most notably with Jacob Frye. However, we shouldn't make assumptions, and we should wait and see. If I am wrong and there actually has been clear confirmation that the two characters retain the exact same romance options, such that Kassandra and Kyra can be a couple, then please let me know.

Otherwise, a few other things I wanted to explain is that the Spear of Leonidas, referred to as an "Isu artifact" in the gameplay trailer so far, has not been confirmed to be a Piece of Eden necessarily. Not all Isu artifacts are Pieces of Eden, as similar as they all are, and so as of yet, this character shouldn't be categorized under "individuals who held Pieces of Eden either".

Finally, this page merging Alexios and Kassandra together is only meant to be a temporary solution for now to avoid the awkward need to word "Alexios/Kassandra" everywhere in other articles. We hope that once the game has been released, and new information arrives, we can differentiate the two again in separate articles. As of now, we are not sure if the two are related, and the one not chosen takes a different plotline as an NPC or conversely, that the two are mutually exclusive such that if Alexios exists then Kassandra never exists at all.
