Athene Griffith

Athene was the assassin hired by Kurt Jenssen and Bolgr Nordberg to dispose of Ring of Ruin teams that refused to intentionally lose matches to maximize Goldways' and Firetronics' profits.

Athene was captured by Kika, Fan Brightgrass, Ridley Elderstone and Radovan, then held in the basement of the Slice of Life until Kurt's defeat, at which point she was transferred into police custody.

Personality
Athene is chatty and self-absorbed. She seems to minimize her actions, either not comprehending their severity or simply not caring. She claims she took the assassin job simply because she was good at it and enjoyed the easy lifestyle of working just a handful of days for large sums of gold.

Ring of Ruin disappearances
Athene was hired by Kurt and Bolgr sometime around 6 years before the Canaries ended the rigging of the tournament. She would abduct targets described by Kurt or Bolgr in notes left at a drop point on the rooftops of Armaster, then dispose of the victims by leaving them at the mercy of a metal sphere deep in the forest.

Appearances
Athene first appeared when the Canaries (and Radovan) were staking out the police station, anticipating an assassination attempt on accountant Melor Trewella. Athene appeared as anticipated, and the Canaries easily captured her when Bose latched onto her arm to prevent her escape and Ridley Elderstone successfully trapped her using Entangle.

Fan Commanded her to confess, which she did, and in addition gave the Canaries any information they requested after Kika issued some very convincing threats.

After leading the party to the location in the forest she used as a drop point for her victims, she was held in the basement of the Slice of Life café while the Canaries confronted Kurt Jenssen, fearing she would not be safe at the police station due to Wodan's untrustworthiness.

After Kurt's defeat, she was transferred into police custody under now-chief Radovan.
