Akakios, child of Diodotos, wasn’t the most reliable friend Isadora ever had. Xe tended to drop in unannounced, never really cared about what was going on in her life, and seemed to only ever want to drink at their favorite bar before disappearing again. So when xe showed up on her doorstep with a gun in xer hand, claiming that xer wife Pelagia had just been murdered, Isadora didn't really know what to do.
With Akakios now dead for a crime xe may not have committed, and everyone from The Archon of Elysium to ruthless gangsters to xer dead wife's family telling her to drop it, Isadora tried to just keep her head down, throwing herself into her work as a independent detective and entangling herself in the petty drama of one of Elysium's most exclusive communities.
Unfortunately, if what she wanted was to avoid confronting Akakios' dark past, The Valley was probably the last place in Elysium Isadora should have been.[1]
