Added a few tropes and a quote under each major character that didn't have one



to:

->''The Snake? The Snake will never die!''




to:

->''The masses are the cattle of the gods, driven by the herdsman's whip. You are one of them, Bayek.''

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: If you opt to attack him instead of assassinating him, he immediately books it. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation He's a lot faster than that raucous cough of his would suggest, too.]]




to:

->''Like all of your kind, you fail to see what is in store for Egypt.''




to:

->''Is that all of your fury, Medjay? No wonder it was so easy to take your country.''




to:

->''They went too far, in Siwa. I knew it then, but I just wanted peace for Egypt.''




to:

->''Your son's death made the Order bow to me. Caesar, even. I had Rome. It gave me an empire of a thousand sons, each one greater than the last.''




to:

->''So it is true... the Hidden Ones exist. Strange, how you want the same things that we want: peace, order, and yet our ideas will survive.''

* DoNotGoGentle: Despite being overweight and, as a scribe, presumably not very physical, he actually manages to catch Bayek off guard while the Medjay is attempting to drown him and turns the tables in the struggle. If Bayek did not have the hidden blade, which Aya had ''just'' given him, Eudoros may have been the victor.

* ForegoneConclusion: He is believed by Bayek and Aya to be the last of The Order they must kill, but one look at the Target Menu shows that there are multiple other targets yet to be revealed. Add that he is killed perhaps an hour into the game, if the player doesn’t screw around, when there's no way a major triple-A release would be that short. Obviously Eudoros is not ‘The Snake’, as he was previously named by Bayek, and is in fact named something else entirely.

* HateSink: Second only to [[spoiler:Flavius]], Berenike is the evilest member of the Order since he's not only racist towards Egyptians and orders her men to ransack and burn entire settlements in the Faiyum region but she murdered Hotephres' daughter Shadya and felt absolutely no remorse about doing it whatsoever. Even during her death scene, she appears calm and very smug towards Bayek which makes her demise rather satisfying.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: He's the first of Bayek's targets to not be a native Egyptian, as he hails from Greece. This isn't acknowledged in-game, as the question of whether or not he's the Snake is much more immediately important, but it's the first sign that the Order's influence extends beyond Egypt's borders.
