In Assassin’s Creed Origins, what is the name of the hidden order founded by Bayek and Aya?

The story behind the answer

Bayek and Aya found the Hidden Ones in Assassin’s Creed Origins.

The Hidden Ones are established near the end of Origins as a secret organization dedicated to opposing oppressive power and protecting ordinary people. Bayek and Aya create the group after their experiences in Ptolemaic Egypt and their conflict with the Order of the Ancients.

The organization is the direct historical predecessor of the Assassin Brotherhood seen in later games. Its members adopt methods and principles that become familiar throughout the franchise, including secrecy, covert operations, and resistance to authoritarian rulers. The Hidden Ones’ first headquarters is associated with the Egyptian city of Siwa and later locations.

Players sometimes call the group “the Assassins” because of its role in the wider mythology, but Origins specifically names the early organization the Hidden Ones. The game therefore presents a fictional origin story for the franchise’s secret order rather than showing the fully developed Brotherhood of later historical periods.
