Kleitos the Black

Art by TheAngelIncarnate on Instagram, for my story La Flèche d'Artémis !

He looks angry and tbh he is often angry! However, he's probably the character of the cast who is the most into caring for everyone else.

What we know about him is that is the brother of Lanike, Alexander's nurse, and that he had a brilliant career as a cavalry officer until Alexander killed him in a drunken quarrel. The quarrel reveals that Kleitos was loyal to Alexander's father Philip.

More below about Kleitos in my novel.

In Pressfield's The virtues of war, Kleitos is shown as Philip's eromenos and I really liked this idea, especially since Philip was older but not *that much* older.

In my story, Kleitos and Philippos were hostages in Thebai together, in the same house, with Kleitos looking up to the older prince. They later met again when Kleitos came to Pella as a royal page, in the last weeks of Perdikkas' reign. He followed the new regent of Makedonia as his royal page and they started a relationship in the dangerous first month when basically Everyone Wanted To Invade Macedonia. Their relationship was officially Philippos' longest time with one of his page, lasting for two years until he was discarded because of his age.

Very few people know that their relationship never stopped and, at forty and thirty five, they are still together, hiding because dating a grown man is not the best move for someone who wants a military career. They also ditched the eromenos/erastes thing a long time ago and define themselves as equals in the bedroom, though they are very secretive about this.

Because of his bond with Philippos, Kleitos' sister was selected to become Alexandros' nurse and Kleitos always played an important role as a mentor, like a surrogate uncle. He is usually the one Alexandros goes to when he needs to talk to a fatherly figure, since Alexandros and Philippos have a very complicated relationship; the teenager doesn't know about the long lasting love story between the two men until the end of the first book, and let's say that's a discovery that didn't go well.
