	During the [[Battle of the Nile]] in February 47 BCE, Flavius fought alongside Caesar, Aya and Bayek against Ptolemy's army.

He convinced Caesar that, since Septimius was Roman, he should be judged under Roman law, and the general ended up pardoning the [[Gabiniani]] and even offered him a position right next to him and Flavius; an act which greatly infuriated Bayek and Aya.<ref name="Battle of the Nile">''Assassin's Creed: Origins'' – [[The Battle of the Nile]]</ref>		During the [[Battle of the Nile]] in February 47 BCE, Flavius fought alongside Caesar, Aya, and Bayek against Ptolemy's army.

	Following Ptolemy's defeat, Cleopatra was crowned as the sole Pharaoh of Egypt and began to be influenced by the Order through her relationship with Caesar. Flavius, who had secretly stolen Alexander's [[Scepter of Alexander the Great\|Staff of Eden]] from his tomb, presented it to Cleopatra at her coronation, as a sign of the Order's alliance with the queen.

	Juxtaposed to Septimius' aggressive efficiency, Medunamun's cynical philosophizing, Pothinus' desperate moralizing and Rudjek's shallow avarice, Flavius was motivated by pure egoism, and his nigh-unhinged sadism made it easy for him to commit any atrocity that fed his delusions of grandeur, even acts his co-conspirators found contemptible or unnecessary.<ref name="The False Oracle" /><ref name="Battle of the Nile" /> He had no scruples whatsoever, and openly admitted to feeling not a shred of remorse for his role in the murder of a child, even going so far as to goad and mock his victim's distraught father.<ref name="The Final Weighing" />		Juxtaposed to Septimius' aggressive efficiency, Medunamun's cynical philosophizing, Pothinus' desperate moralizing, and Rudjek's shallow avarice, Flavius was motivated by pure egoism, and his nigh-unhinged sadism made it easy for him to commit any atrocity that fed his delusions of grandeur, even acts his co-conspirators found contemptible or unnecessary.<ref name="The False Oracle" /><ref name="Battle of the Nile" /> He had no scruples whatsoever, and openly admitted to feeling not a shred of remorse for his role in the murder of a child, even going so far as to goad and mock his victim's distraught father.<ref name="The Final Weighing" />
