Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Kassandra Actor Points Out Hilarious Detail About GOTG's Lady Hellbender

gamerant.com:

While one could argue that Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a divisive title in the franchise, one character who remains super popular is the canon protagonist Kassandra, played by Melissanthi Mahut. She's known for a number of TV roles, but among the Assassin's Creed community, she is immediately associated with Kassandra. It's worth noting that she played Kassandra inAssassin's Creed Odyssey and Valhalla, but for Ubisoft, she also played various characters inAC Origins and Athena inImmortals Fenyx Rising.

She engages with the Assassin's Creed community quite a bit, and recently, she pointed out something about Lady Hellbender that echoed many fans' original thoughts at the release. Indeed, she acknowledges she's late to the party, but if an AC fan didn't play Eidos Montreal's Guardians of the Galaxy, they may have learned about it from her tweet.

Short and sweet, she points out that Lady Hellbender looks JUST like Kassandra. The community was glad to see she made the connection too and went on to discuss how many in theAC community called Lady Hellbender «blue Kassandra» at launch. It's a bit eerie, but genuinely, the only real difference is the exact shade of the hair and the obviously blue skin. Dye Lady Hellbender's hair, and fans would have Kassandra in space.

Oddly though, this isn't the first time an NPC has looked like Kassandra. When Assassin's Creed Valhalla first came out, many were quick to note how Randvi looks like Kassandra, and at one point there were some theories they were one and the same. As many know, Kassandra manages to live for thousands of years thanks to the Staff of Hermes, giving it to Layla at the end ofAssassin's Creed
