Hephaestion

Hephaestion was a mission-exclusive NPC on Amphoreus. He first appears in Trailblaze Mission Memories, Veiled in Blazing Mist.

Profile

Hephaestion was one of Mydei's comrades in the Kremnoan Detachment. He would often tease Mydei about his habit of adding milk to pomegranate juice. Despite his scrawny figure, he was a relentless force on the battlefield and could dispatch enemies effortlessly.

He was the last of the five friends to die. On the eve of Mydei's duel against King Eurypon, Hephaestion suffered a relapse of his illness, but hid his condition from Mydei. He was on his deathbed when Mydei returned from the battle. With his last breaths, he bid the crown prince farewell and implored him to lead their people back home.^[1]

Trivia

• Hephaestion was a childhood friend and eventual general in Alexander the Great's army, said to be the king's "dearest friend." While not conclusive, some historians believe there are implications they were lovers. Hephaestion's death is often attributed to Alexander's declined mental health towards the end of his life.
