Artazostre (died 420s BCE), also known as the Silence, was a member of the Order of Dominion branch of the Persian Order of the Ancients, who operated in Messenia, Greece during the Peloponnesian War.
Biography[]
Serving under Amorges, Artazostre was the branch's cleaner, specializing in making the corpses of their victims disappear during their war efforts in Messenia. She used a cave in the region as her dumping spot to dispose the bodies. In the meantime, she also patrolled the military camps in the region to ensure the soldiers' obedience to the Order.[1]
Artazostre also demonstrated her aptitude for hunting, and impressed the Daughters of Artemis in the region, enough for them to welcome her among them. She also frequented their camp in the southern reaches of Messenia enough for her peers in the Order to be aware of it.[1]
Around 422 BCE, news reached Artazostre and Amorges that a Persian captain under her had revealed too much of the Order's secrets, risking the Order and their activities in Messenia. As such, Artazostre sent a letter to the captain warning him of the repercussions. Ultimately, she had the captain executed and dumped in the Keadas Cave.[1]
Later that year, the Spartan misthios Kassandra travelled to the camp to investigate, having learned of the Ancient's activities in the region. There, she recovered the letter from the captain's body, allowing her to deduce Artazostre's whereabouts and eliminate her.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Artazostre, a character in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey's DLC Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline, shares her name with a Persian princess, who lived at the beginning of the 5th century BCE.
