Assassin's Creed Origins - Character Profile: Bayek

Bayek of Siwa

Bayek, the last member of Medjay, became one of the founding members of the Assassin brotherhood. He became active during the time and rise of the last pharaoh of Egypt, Cleopatra.

Story

While hailed as a local hero in Siwa, many of those in Egypt viewed him as an inconvenient relic. At one point, the Greek Ptolemies replaced the Medjay. With that, Bayek of Siwa soon returned to his village where he soon met with a woman named Aya, an Alexandrian Agent. While they initially didn’t hit it off, they soon became allies.

Aya served as the exiled Queen Cleopatra’s agent which Bayek had misgivings towards. But Bayek of Siwa places his misgivings aside upon hearing about The Order of the Ancients. As they began to control society through Ptolemy XIII, the assassin then works together with Aya and Queen Cleopatra to stop The Order of the Ancients. He then delves deeper into ancient Egypt’s history to look deeper into the power struggle.

Skills
