Elpidios of Achaia

Elpidios of Achaia Born c. 422 BCE, Was the Son of the Spartan Misthios Alexios and his Lover Neema. Despite his young age as a Baby, he was noted to have quite an appetite.

As a result of his parentage, Elpidios had Spartan and Persian ancestry. His grandfather on his father's side was Darius, and on his mother's side his great-grandfather was Leonidas I of Sparta. Elpidios also inherited the Isu ancestry from his mother, and was also a hybrid (although the Isu-strand was less prominent). Ironically His Maternal Grandfather, Darius Avenged the Death of His Paternal Great-Grandfather King Leonidas of Sparta.

Early Life and History
Elpidios was born after 422 BCE, when Alexios, Neema and Darius decided to stop running from the Order of the Ancients and settle in Dyme, Achaia.

He Was Kidnapped By Amorges and Entrusted To Prince Darius II of Persia, After His Mother's Murder. Alexios and Darius Would Rampage Through Anything Between Them and Elpidios, Alexios Briefly Raised Him with Darius Before Darius Took Him To Egypt. Before They Left Alexios Gave Darius A Sword Of Eden, Instructing Him To Give It To Elpidios When He Was Ready, While Also Giving Him A Letter From Alexios on That Day Also.

Whilst Growing Up With His Father and Grandfather, He Was Trained By His Father and Grandparents to Fight. From His Paternal Grandparents, Myrrine and Nikolaos of Sparta, He Learned About Spartan Military History and Spartan Combat Tactics. His Uncle Stentor and Aunt Kassandra Trained him in Enduring Pain and Training up His Stamina, and Darius and Alexios Taught Him How To Hunt, Survive, and Remain Hidden.
