Alexios, who is sometimes referred to as Deimos, is the co-protagonist of Assassin\u2019s Creed Odyssey<\/em> along with his sister, Kassandra.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His family plays a big role in the story of Odyssey<\/em>, so we\u2019ll take a closer look at exactly who they are and find out exactly who is Alexios\u2019 Father?<\/p>\n

Nikolaos \u2013 The Wolf of Sparta<\/p>\n

Note that what\u2019s written next presumes that you are playing the game as Alexios and it will contain spoilers<\/strong> for the story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the start of the game we learn that Nikolaos, the Wolf of Sparta, is Alexios\u2019 father. They became separated when Alexios was young after Nikolaos reluctantly acted upon a prophecy from the Oracle, who believed Sparta would one day be destroyed by Nikolaos\u2019 children.<\/p>\n

The killing of his son, Alexios, was ordered at the behest of the Spartan authorities, and Nikolaos took it upon himself to carry it out. Unbeknownst to Nikolaos and his contemporaries, Alexios survived the execution and grew up on the island of Kefalonia to be a powerful mercenary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We later learn that Nikolaos is not, in fact, Alexios\u2019 real father. His real father is the legendary Greek philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras. Through acquiring the Staff of Hermes, Pythagoras gained immortality and long life, which he used to research the secrets of the Isu and Atlantis. Throughout his travels he encountered Myrrine, and together they brought Alexios into the world. Pythagoras was absent from both of their lives, though, as he dedicated his time to continue his research in isolation.<\/p>\n

After assigning Alexios the task of finding the Atlantis artifacts, he passes on the Staff of Hermes and instantly dies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Myrrine \u2013 Daughter of King Leonidas I<\/p>\n

Alexios\u2019 mother is Myrrine, the daughter of King Leonidas of Sparta and she plays a crucial role in the game. Myrrine\u2019s relationship with Pythagoras leads to the birth of the main playable character in the game, giving them a strong birthline that gives them incredible responsibility and importance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Players first encounter Myrrine on the island of Naxos, where she serves as the leader and becomes embroiled in a war with the neighboring island, Paros. After reaching a resolution, Myrrine returns to Sparta with the main character in order to convince the two Spartan kings to give their home back to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alexios and Pythagoras<\/p>\n

[SPOILER]<\/p>\n

There is some confusion over whether Alexios and Kassandra have the same father. They both grew up believing that Nikolaos is their father. Some people believe that depending on who you play the game as, the character you choose later learns that Pythagoras is their real father, while the other one is, in fact, the child of Nikolaos.<\/p>\n

This is never explicitly stated in the game, though, so the real answer is unknown. The official AC Odyssey<\/em> novel seems to confirm that only one of the two is Pythagoras\u2019 child. They do both have the same mother, though, who is Myrrine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
