| “ | HAHAHAHA! You're good at fighting! But who cares?! Every single one of your friends are dead! Politicians, philosophers, I killed them all of them. Just give up and die! Even those three friends of yours you sent away! Did you think we wouldn't capture them?! You are not a military leader. You are not a nobleman. You are not a beauty. You are an ugly, infestuous rat, that must be purged from this country. You still want to fight? You're insane... HAHAHA! You failed to avenge your friends, and now you will die, little rat. | „ |

Biography[]
Early life[]
A few years earlier, while Socrates gives a lecture about democracy to his students, Basil enters the room with four other men and threatens him to drink poison or he'll execute the philosophers for "tainted" them with his anti-democracy ideas. One of the students says the military will come, but Basil claims the military supports him and Athens. After Socrates drinks the poison and killed by Basil, a philosopher furious yells at Basil for killing Socrates and no one will remember the ruthless soldier. However, this causes Basil to go back on his word and slaughters the philosophers.
Basil is later seen with two of his men and drinking at a bar, cleansing the city from Alcibiades' degenerates. One of his soldiers asked why doesn't kill Alcibiades. Basil responds that he wants to make Alcibiades suffer before killing him and degenerate politicians who manipulate the country like him deserve to die in despair.

While Alcibiades kills most of the assassins, one goes to their leader for more reinforcements. The assassin arrived back at the camp and asked for soldiers, but Basil grabs the assassin by the face and kills him for failing to kill Alcibiades.
Basil goes to Alcibiades and fights him. Basil uses his axe to slash Alcibiades, but uses his sword to block his attack. Shocking Basil, Alcibiades explains that the sword is orichalcum was given to him by Socrates and can not be broken Basil's axe. Basil managed to land a hit on Alcibiades' face, he starts bleeding but shows no effect on him, who then starts to taunt the sadistic soldier.
During the fight, Alcibiades shows his hatred towards Basil, who laughing and mocking him, reveals that he's been shot in the chest with an arrow by one of his soldiers. Basil starts to taunt Alcibiades about killing all of his friends while the latter is getting shot at by the assassin's arrows.
