In Assassin's Creed Origins, which character is known as the last Medjay of Egypt?

Bayek of Siwa is the character known as the last Medjay of Egypt in Assassin's Creed Origins.

Bayek is a protector from Siwa who serves as the game's main protagonist. The story is set in Ptolemaic Egypt and follows his investigation into the people responsible for a personal tragedy. His travels take him through deserts, villages, cities, and major historical locations along the Nile.

A Medjay was historically a term associated with Nubian groups and later with Egyptian royal or state service. Origins uses the title for Bayek's role as a local protector, while adapting the historical term into the series' fictional origin story for the Assassin Brotherhood.

Bayek's wife, Aya, is also central to the narrative and to the creation of the Hidden Ones, the precursor organization to the later Assassins. Players sometimes identify Aya as the protagonist because she has important missions, but Bayek is the primary playable character.
