What is the name of the main character in Assassin's Creed Origins?
Answer
Bayek of Siwa
Bayek of Siwa is the main character in Assassin's Creed Origins.
Released in 2017, Origins follows Bayek, a Medjay from the Siwa Oasis, and his wife Aya during the final decades of Ptolemaic Egypt. Their investigation into a masked group eventually leads to the formation of the Hidden Ones, the organization that develops into the Assassin Brotherhood.
The game is set before the historical periods shown in most earlier Assassin's Creed titles. Players travel through Egypt under the rule of Cleopatra VII and encounter figures connected to the Roman expansion, including Julius Caesar. Origins also changed the series by introducing stronger role-playing systems, levels, loot, and a large open world.
Aya is a crucial character and later becomes associated with the Hidden Ones, but Bayek is the principal playable protagonist. Senu is Bayek's eagle companion, while Khemu is his son; neither is the game's main character.
