The Impossible Man of the East

The indispensable man of the east did not die in battle or succumb to plague. Instead, it seems that he fell victim to an assassin who was inspired mostly by a personal humiliation. The story that is most commonly related is that odinothu's nephew breached some of protocol. And at a family celebration a short time later, the nephew, probably by way of poison, killed odonathus and his eldest son.
