>sent off to Thrace to kick Athenian ass while the rest of Sparta was shitting its collective toga
>beat Thucydides out so fucking hard he starts writing a book about how Athens deserves to raped
>save Greek cities from Athenian tyranny, one city's so grateful they tore down all statues of their founder and put up new ones in Brasidas' honour, claiming he'd done more for them then he ever did
>solos the most violent man in Athens, forcing them to sue for peace
>dies in the final battle for Thrace, but not before making all the Greeks want to join Sparta in the war against the Athenians by being a stand-up guy
