Atreyos is the main protagonist of Stick War: Legacy, specifically the Endless Deads mode, and its sequel Stick War: Saga.
He is the son of the king and queen of the Order Empire, Zarek and Iris, and the youngest of the Royal Siblings. Starting from his childhood, after his older twin brother, Adicai, died in his first battle, Atreyos was chosen to replace his twin brother as the leader of Spearton by his father and until he was a teenager to protect the statue from the Undead.
Several years ago, after protecting the Order statue, he returned to the Order Empire and faced Wrathnar in the final battle.
Appearance[]
Atreyos is a black stick figure with a scar on his left eye. He appears as a Spearton with a Level 2 shield and a Level 1 spear. He does not change his equipment if you upgrade your Speartons past, Atreyos' equipment level, opting instead to keep his old gear. While Atreyos wears a red cape in the opening cutscene of Endless Deads, he does not have it as an in-game unit.
In Stick War: Saga, Atreyos keeps his gear from SW:L and now wears the cape on his in-game sprite. His equipment shows signs of wear akin to his depiction in Endless Deads, as his helmet and shield are dented and his cape is tattered, and a noticeable gash can be seen on his helmet's eye hole. However, his character artwork and the main menu portray him with his equipment still pristine.

Endless Deads[]
During the Order's hike across a stretch of forest area, rain began to pour down onto their supplies. Atreyos, the caravan's presumed leader, a Magikill, a Swordwrath, and an Archidon tell the rest of the workers to set up camp here. Miners and other members of the caravan go off to gather resources, and it seems all is well.
The elder Magikill sits down and tries to start a small fire but is ambushed by a Dead. In his old age, the Magikill struggles to break free from the dead's grip, however this gives the Archidon enough time to launch an arrow through the undead's head. When the Swordwrath comes to Magikill's aid, trying to help him back up, two more dead rise from the ground and attack the pair. The Magikill is bitten in the arm, but the Swordwrath manages to avoid the Deads with only a small injury.
Atreyos and the Archidon are having no trouble killing the incoming Deads, but Atreyos turns to see their elder Magikill lying dead on the ground, and howls at their loss. Now it leaves Atreyos and his friends to fight the incoming hordes. If the player lose, we can see Atreyos on the statue without a shield. It is most likely that the Swordwrath and the Archidon both died and Atreyos is next since it only takes under a minute for the Deads to break the statue if there was no one defending the statue.
Likewise if the player manages to hold out until Night 10, it can be assumed that the Order caravan successfully evacuated with Atreyos surviving evident by the "Atreyos Lives!" achievement. It might be canonical that Atreyos survives the mission as he is seen appearing in later games with the latest being in Stick War: Saga as a playable unit, with much the same appearance as he had in Endless Deads.
Stick War: Saga[]
According to an article by The Inamorta Informer after beating Mera in Level 26, Atreyos unexpectedly returns after years of being gone from the Order, to the point where many feared he had perished before his return. The same article questions why he returned and if he will stay, as well as what it would mean for the future of the Order throne. His disappearance is likely connected to his role in Endless Deads.
In Level 35, Atreyos appears as an ally general fight Wrathnar and then the Lunarclops. After defeating them, Zilaros meets Atreyos in the cutscene and says he's glad to have him again. Atreyos angrily tells him "You don't have me, Zilaros. You never will.", before running off. Atreyos' reaction implies that he is aware of Zilaros' true nature.
