Which historical queen appears as Cleopatra in Assassin’s Creed Origins?

The Cleopatra appearing in Assassin’s Creed Origins is Cleopatra VII.

Cleopatra VII Philopator was the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. Origins depicts her political struggle against her brother Ptolemy XIII and her alliance with Julius Caesar during the Roman intervention in Egypt.

The number VII is important because several earlier Ptolemaic rulers were also named Cleopatra. Cleopatra VII ruled from 51 to 30 BCE and is the historical queen most commonly meant when people simply say “Cleopatra.”

The game dramatizes her relationship with Bayek, Aya, Caesar, and other characters, combining documented historical figures with the series’ fictional conflict between Assassins and Templars. Origins is therefore not a documentary account, but its Cleopatra is clearly based on the seventh ruler of that name.
