What is the name of the main playable Assassin in Assassin’s Creed Origins?

Bayek of Siwa is the main playable Assassin in Assassin’s Creed Origins.

Bayek is a Medjay from the Siwa Oasis in Ptolemaic Egypt. The game follows his investigation into a violent conspiracy and his journey across Egypt, where he and Aya become involved in the origins of the Hidden Ones, the organization that later develops into the Assassins.

Origins was released in 2017 and serves as a chronological origin story for the Assassin Brotherhood. It introduces a large Egyptian open world, revised combat, level-based progression, and RPG-style equipment.

Aya is an important co-founder and playable character in selected sections, but Bayek is the campaign’s principal playable protagonist. Senu, his eagle companion, supports reconnaissance and is not the human hero.
