  Summary

  Legend says the first Mercenary Queen reigned during the Peloponnesian War; myth says another was the power broker during Europe's Dark Ages; rumour says the most recent takes contracts exclusively from one, single individual. Kassandra remembers all of it and more, could regale listeners with endless epics and sumptuous stories. At the beginning she was a simple misthios from Kephalonia with an eagle and a broken spear and no greater ambition than to find whatever was left of her family--but then she met a foreign traveler.

  AC: Odyssey, from the perspective of a simple misthios, making her way through the world (and all the side quests and mercenary-related things to do in her spare time).
