As A Descendant of Leonidas and The Son of Pythagoras, Alexios and His Younger Sister Kassandra, are Humans with a Dramatically Higher Count Of Isu Genes than Most. This Allows Them to Use Isu Artifacts Such as Apples without Fear of Losing Control of their Minds, or Swords of Eden to their Fullest Potential. Because Alexios is the Son of Pythagoras, His Paternal Isu Heritage Can be Traced to The Isu Leader's Consus, Hephaestus, and The Messenger.

Early Life and History
As a child, Alexios was presented with the broken Spear of Leonidas, an Isu weapon, as an heirloom by his mother. Because of his prestigious lineage, great hopes were placed upon him to live up to the strength and valor of Leonidas. His step-father, Nikolaos, would often train him in hopes that he would follow in his footsteps. In 446 BCE, the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi gave a prophecy in which- Alexios's younger Sister, Kassandra (who was a newborn at the time), would lead to the fall of Sparta in the future. In order to prevent this, Kassandra was to be sacrificed at Mount Taygetos, despite Myrrine's plea for Nikolaos to stop it. As a priest was about to drop Kassandra, Alexios attempted to stop the sacrifice, but instead pushed the priest and Kassandra to their apparent death. Alexios was condemned as a traitor to Sparta, leading his step-father to execute him by dropping him off the mountains.

Alexios, however, survived the fall, and escaped to the beach with the spear. Refusing to be found by the Spartans, Alexios fled out to the open seas, with an eagle following him. A storm later turned Alexios's boat overboard and he woke up on the beaches of Kephallonia. There, he was greeted by Markos, who took him under his wing and tasked him to do errands for him.

Life as A Misthios
Years after the incident on the mountain, Alexios became a well renowned misthios. Thugs would regularly come to him to demand money on behalf of the Cyclops. Alexios eventually tired of this lifestyle and defeated the thugs that came to him. Before Alexios continued, he was greeted by Phoibe, an orphan, with whom Alexios shared a close bond with. After the two finished talking about eagles, Phoibe told him to meet Markos at his new vineyard and then left leaving Alexios to deal with the thugs. Coming across Markos in his new vineyard, se was initially angry at his purchase of the vineyard while he still owed him drachmae. Calming him with the promise of more, he directed him to Duris who owed Markos drachmae. Alexios then took a horse and went off to find Duris.

Before Alexios could collect his debt, he was informed that Phoibe had been kidnapped and was being held at Kitmene Beach. After making his way to the beach, he stealthily dealt with the three thugs guarding Phoibe. Assured that Phoibe was alright, Alexios then went to find Duris in order to collect his debt. Heading back to Markos, he catches him in an argument with Drucilla about her stolen lumber shipment. Alexios then got Drucilla to fix his bow before he went and fixed her stolen lumber problem.
