'''Osiris''', also called the '''Lord of the Duat''',<ref name="ACO">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]''</ref> was an [[Isu]], revered as an [[Egypt]]ian [[Egyptian mythology|god]] of the [[Duat|afterlife]], the underworld and death. He was also the consort-brother of [[Isis]].

==Biography==
{{AmbCanon Start}}
In legends, Osiris and his wife Isis watched over the Egyptian pharaohs, with Isis using the [[Piece of Eden|Piece]] of [[Eden]] known as the [[Ankh]] to keep them from harm. However, Osiris died after some time, murdered by his brother [[Seth]], causing Isis to be overtaken by grief and despair.<ref name="AC3A">''[[Assassin's Creed 3: Accipiter]]''</ref>

She then attempted to revive Osiris by using the Ankh, but it only brought him back for one night. Using the opportunity, they consummated their love, leading to the conception of their son, [[Horus]].<ref name="AC3A" />

==Legacy and influence==
During the 1st century BCE, the [[Medjay]] and later [[Hidden Ones|Hidden One]] [[Bayek]] of [[Siwa]] often invoked Osiris upon killing a member of the [[Order of the Ancients]], telling them that they would face divine judgement for their crimes against [[human]]ity.<ref name="ACO" />

In [[Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxon]] [[England]] during the 9th century CE, the [[Vikings|Viking]] [[shieldmaiden]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] of the [[Raven Clan]] recovered a letter written in {{Wiki|Demotic}} by Bayek from the travelling [[merchant]] [[Reda]]. In it, Bayek compared his wife [[Amunet]] to ''"''[''his'']'' Iset"'' as he was ''"''[''her'']'' Osiris"''.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[A Brief History of the Hidden Ones]]</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
Historians during the classical antiquity viewed Osiris as the Egyptian counterpart to [[Aita]], [[Hades]], and Pluto, as they were all major chthonic deities. [[Serapis]] was a syncretism formed by these cultures.<ref>{{WP|Serapis}}</ref>
