Biography

In 431 BCE, Hyrkanos was hired by Athens to aid their forces in Megaris against the encroaching Spartan forces. A master of manipulation, Hyrkanos tended to delegate duties so as to ensure his own safety.^[1] To this end, he hired an Athenian soldier and gave him a Spartan soldier outfit in order to infiltrate the Spartan camp in Pagai and steal a tablet containing an account of their activities in the region.^[2]

At one point, Hyrkanos also attacked and slew a Spartan supply convoy on its way through the Occupied Forest of Tripodiskos. The supplies he left alone, letting the citizens of Megara, among them Neaera, take them. ^[3] The Spartans sent Dolios to investigate, and he enlisted the help of the misthios Kassandra to hunt down and eliminate Hyrkanos, and she did.^[4]

Behind the scenes

If Hyrkanos is not slain, he's encountered and slain during the Conquest Battle in the quest "The Final Push."
