Pothinus and Ptolemy were unhappy with this turn of events.~~		In 51 BCE, pharaoh [[Ptolemy XII Auletes]] died and was succeeded by his children Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIII, who co-rule as pharaohs until 49 BCE. The [[Order of the Ancients]], a secret cabal organization founded by [[Smenkhkare]] in the fourteenth century BCE, infiltrated the royal court and manipulated Ptolemy to exile Cleopatra from [[Alexandria]].<ref name="Guide">''[[Assassin's Creed Origins: Official Game Guide]]''</ref> Cleopatra escaped with their help of her loyal follower [[Apollodorus]] and worked to rebuild her forces, recruiting the [[Medjay]] [[Aya]] as her agent. Aya and her husband [[Bayek]] lost their son [[Khemu]] as a result of the Order's machinations in [[Siwa]], and went on their individual paths to seek revenge against the Order.<ref name="ACO">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]''</ref>

	==Events==		In 48 BCE, Bayek was introduced to Cleopatra at Apollodorus' [[Apollodorus' Estate\|villa]], and became her agent to hunt down the Order members across [[Egypt]]. Meanwhile, in the [[Roman Republic]], the [[Rome\|Roman]] general [[Pompey]] fled from Rome after his men were defeated by [[Gaius Julius Caesar]]'s forces in a {{Wiki\|Caesar's civil war\|civil war}}. Seeking an alliance, Cleopatra sent Aya and admiral [[Phoxidas]] to the [[Aegean Sea\|Aegean]] sea to meet with Pompey's fleet. Pompey agreed<ref name="Pompeius Magnus">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[Pompeius Magnus]]</ref> and was due to meet with Cleopatra in [[Herakleion Nome]]. However, upon landing, he was assassinated by [[Lucius Septimius]], a [[Gabiniani]], Order member and a former [[soldier]] in his army. The assassination was proposed by the eunuch [[Pothinus]], advisor to the pharaoh Ptolemy XIII who deemed that Caesar would be pleased by the removal of his adversary.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[Way of the Gabiniani]]</ref>

			Left with no options left, Cleopatra travelled to Alexandria to propose an alliance with Caesar herself. Aided by Phoxidas' fleet, and later Aya, Bayek and Apollodorus, Cleopatra was able to infiltrate the [[Ptolemaic Royal Palace\|royal palace]] and interrupt Caesar's meeting with Ptolemy. Caesar, not happy with Pompey's assassination, rejected Ptolemy's plans and agreed to listen to Cleopatra's proposal, ultimately choosing to side with Cleopatra.<ref name="Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[Aya: Blade of the Goddess]]</ref>

	Fighting their way through the Egyptian troops, Caesar and his men eventually reached Pharos island. There they took refuge within the lighthouse. With easy access to the open sea, Caesar was able to send messages to his allies requesting reinforcements and more supplies. The island fort also allowed him to control access to the harbor by relying on the chains used by the Egyptians to control ship traffic to and from Alexandria's docks.

	Egyptian soldiers poured salt water into the aqueducts supplying Alexandria, trying to force Caesar and his men out. Panic erupted within Caesar's men. They wouldn't last long without fresh water. Recognizing that the porous limestone could help them, Caesar and his men dug wells to help restore their water supply. Days later, the 37th Legion, comprised of Pompey's soldiers, arrived by ship. Unable to come ashore due to the winds, Caesar risked going out to meet them on the peninsula, Cape Chersonese. When the enemy learned of Caesar's location, they rushed to intercept.

	Despite an obvious advantage for the Alexandrians, Caesar, with a Rhondian ship full of skillful sailors, emerged victorious. With help from the allied ships, Caear's victory enabled him to push the Egyptians back and secure the lighthouse. Gaining control of Pharos island sent the Alexandrians into the sea and swimming back to the city. However, Caesar's fortification of the island didn't last long. The enemy regrouped and were set to storm the island. Panic-stricken, in spite of Caesar's encouragement, many of his men then fled their posts either by ship or jumping into the sea.
