Cassander XI Dionysus Eupator Theos Philopator Anicetus (17 June 57 – 23 November 118) was a Seleucid ruler that reigned for approximately 11 years. He is also a member of the Dionysean-Anicetid Line of the dynasty, being born to Seleucus IX Anicetus.
Cassander Anicetus was remembered for initiating the first Valkyria Hunts in history, with the purpose of ascertaining and studying the power of the Valkyrur for means of augmenting the military force and medicinal studies.

Legacy
Cassander Anicetus was portrayed in a negative light in every Yggdist sect in Europa. Given his acts of hunting down the Valkyrur for exploitative studies of their power and obtaining it, many Yggdists consider him a villain who was determined to empower himself and the Seleucid army to become godlike, despite the present-day clandestine endorsement of Valkyria experimentations and weaponizations among their populace. Thellos Quietspell's Valkyrur Epistle X justifies this view precisely:
Among the descendants of the third great enemy, Cassander Anicetus proved himself to stoop his malevolence on another level. Not only did he carry on the views of his father, but he also initiated the hunts to empower him and his people to reach the divine status of our beloved deities. It is a blasphemy to condemn vehemently.
