Cleon is passionate, assertive, and unyielding in his beliefs. He is a skilled orator who thrives on public support, often using his charisma to sway the masses. However, his brashness can lead to conflicts with others who favor a more diplomatic approach.

Cleon emerged as a leading figure in Athens after the death of Pericles, advocating for a strong military response against Sparta. His populist tactics and fiery speeches rallied the citizens, but also drew criticism from more moderate leaders. His victory at the Battle of Sphacteria solidified his reputation, but his aggressive methods often led to controversy.
