In Assassin’s Creed Origins, which Egyptian Medjay founded the Hidden Ones with Aya?

The story behind the answer

In Assassin’s Creed Origins, the Egyptian Medjay who founded the Hidden Ones with Aya is Bayek of Siwa.

Bayek is a protector of the Siwa Oasis during the first century BCE. After a masked group murders his son Khemu, Bayek investigates the conspiracy and confronts members of the Order of the Ancients, an organization that later develops into the Templar Order.

Bayek and Aya establish the Hidden Ones as a community dedicated to resisting tyranny from the shadows. The organization’s principles and methods provide the foundation for the later Assassin Brotherhood. Aya, who is also known as Amunet, becomes a major leader of the Hidden Ones in Rome. Bayek is not the same character as Bayek’s son Khemu, and the title Medjay describes his traditional protective role rather than the name of his new organization.
