What is the name of the Assassin's Creed protagonist from Siwa in ancient Egypt?
Answer
Bayek of Siwa
Bayek of Siwa is the Assassin's Creed protagonist from ancient Egypt.
He is the main character of Assassin's Creed Origins, released in 2017. Bayek is a Medjay, a local protector from the Siwa Oasis, and his personal tragedy drives him and Aya into a wider struggle against the Order of the Ancients.
Origins is set during the first century BCE, amid the political conflict surrounding Ptolemaic Egypt. The game depicts locations including Siwa, Alexandria, Memphis, and Cyrene, while presenting an origin story for the Assassin Brotherhood.
Aya is Bayek's wife and an important playable character, but she is not the answer to this question. Senu, Bayek's eagle, is also a major companion and scouting tool rather than the protagonist.
