Abubakar Salim provided Bayek's voice and facial performance in Assassin's Creed Origins.
Salim plays Bayek of Siwa, a Medjay whose personal investigation becomes intertwined with the formation of the Hidden Ones, the organization that later develops into the Assassin Brotherhood. His performance is central to the game's emotional story, which follows Bayek and Aya through Ptolemaic Egypt.
The actor's work covers Bayek's dialogue and performance capture, helping define the character's warmth, grief, humor, and sense of duty. Bayek's role as a Medjay also links the fictional narrative to an ancient Egyptian title associated with local law enforcement and protection.
Roger Craig Smith voiced Ezio Auditore, while Noah Watts voiced Ratonhnhaké:ton in Assassin's Creed III. Michael Fassbender starred in the 2016 Assassin's Creed film, so these performers are distinct despite their association with the franchise.
