Who the Father Is in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Recommended Videos

Before we go any further, it’s worth noting that we’re about to spoil one of the central mysteries of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. If you don’t want to know who the father is in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, don’t read on. You’ve been warned.

Fairly early on in the game, the player character will quickly find out that Nikolaos is not actually their birth father, and you will likely be wondering who the father is in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

As you continue on your journey, you’ll find the hero’s mother Myrinne, who gives you information on their real father’s location. Once you head to the Volcanic Lands, the hero finds an underground cave, where an old man is waiting. He reveals himself as Pythagoras, who is the real father of the hero in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

According to Pythagoras, he comes from a lineage of heroes who are tasked with protecting Atlantis from the outside world. He wields the Staff of Hermes Trimegistus, which allows him to live longer than most mortals. Pythagoras was thought to be dead for the past 100 years.

However, the Staff kept him alive to do his duty. He explains that the hero was born to continue his bloodline. After explaining all of that, Pythagoras then says that it’s the hero’s destiny to protect Atlantis as well.

At this point, the hero is tasked with finding artifacts scattered across the world. These will open the gate to Atlantis, and reveal the secrets within. It’s also worth noting that this entire quest line is optional.

This means that it’s possible to play through the game without finding out who the father is in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. The bulk of the modern-day storyline also seems to be tied to Atlantis itself.

If you want to spoil this all visually for yourself, here’s our video on this:
