Kassandra and Alexios
I did research into Greek history and there is no historical records of female heroines except for gods, not even demi-gods, in spartan culture the only way a woman could be given a headstone when she died was to die during childbirth because that was her dying in service to the state and the only reason women had a vote in spartan culture was to give there house a vote cause there husbands were away fighting wars. In Athenian culture women had no rights they could not vote, go to plays, or speak without the permission of men, women in all greek cultures were not allowed to compete in or even attend Olympics games. So it just doesn’t fit well to me yet when you go onto Assassin’s Creed Wikia they refuse to acknowledge any of this and say the developers have said that Kassandra is the Canonical Character because she’s the person that is being followed in the book yet when you look at many other novelizations they have followed other people other then the characters you played like Blackbeard, Haytham Kenway, Elise de La Serre, and Henry Greene so i dont see her being the canonical character as a good reason to wipe Alexios completly from being the main character in the game. So I feel what ever information you guys add to Kassandra's page it should also be added to Alexios' page for both to be seen as the main character. —unsigned comment by AaronFireBird1 (talk · contr)
- It's been confirmed that both characters exist in the game. However, the official novelization lists Kassandra as the canonical character and Alexios as her younger brother. XOdeyssusx (talk) 02:45, October 1, 2018 (UTC)
- It's been confirmed that she is the main character of the book is all the fact that she is an older sister has not been confirmed she could still be the younger sister we wont know for sure till the book comes out and we read it. —unsigned comment by AaronFireBird1 (talk · contr)
- There are a number of people who has received an early copy of the game and based on the gameplays I have seen so far, they did show Kassandra as the older sibling. There also people who have read the novelization, just not officially released to the public.

The gameplay you have seen is because people have decided to play as said character. as for the book pages you and i have not seen it so we cant confirm for sure but i will believe it when i see. Until then i have to go on facts and the facts point to Alexios being the canonical character for the game based on historical data. but im not asking for him to be seen as better the Kassandra cause thats not the case. i just want them to be seen as equal and am asking that the information be shared equally betweek there respective pages. i dont believe thats asking to much at all its asking for equality.

- I didn't notice earlier that you already posted this message on Kassandra's talk page as well. I will direct you to the response I already gave over at Alexios' talk page. In addition to that, I would like to clarify that while I understand the sentiment for equality between the two characters, the aim of this wiki is to document the canonical lore, or in other words, the true story of Assassin's Creed. This canonical, the "true" story, cannot have both Kassandra or Alexios as the main character of Odyssey. It has to be one or the other despite the fact players can have fun pretending the non-canonical one is the actual hero. In this case, Ubisoft has declared through the novel that Kassandra is the canonical character lore-wise who experienced the events of Odyssey that the player will play, so we have no choice but to be honest and give her the status as the heroine.
- I also believe I explained this a bit already on "Alexios"' talk page, but historical facts has no bearing on what actually happened in this fictional world as much as it should stay true to history as much as possible. We've all been a bit disappointed at some radical deviations from real history (e.g. I, for one, object to Sun Yat-sen being a Templar as a dishonor to his historical values), but we are still forced to document the series' position as it is decided by Ubisoft. Furthermore, I don't think Kassandra's role as a heroine necessarily contradicts this history because for one, Spartan women, although still with low status, were allowed and encouraged to be athletic, and secondly, her deeds as a hero takes place when she is a stateless exile, not as a woman bound by Spartan law.

Kassandra after Odyssey
We know by now that Kassandra stayed alive for over 2300 years thanks to the Staff of Hermes but I'm still curious, what did she do in the intervening time between the conclusion of the ancient side and the modern-day ending of AC:Odyssey? Has Ubisoft released any such information? Are there any theories as to how she influenced parts of history, if at all? SkyGuy-Let's chat! 00:21, November 3, 2018 (UTC)
Born in Sparta vs borin in Pitana
I'll have to check one I get home but I think the novel states she was born in Pitana. Don't know if this is a hard contradiction from the game as the house you reclaim is definitely in Sparta proper. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 03:28, November 13, 2018 (UTC)
