Biography[edit | edit source]
In 47 BCE, after the Tomb of Battos was closed by the Romans, the citizens of the city were angered by the decision for the closure, leading them to protest in front of the tomb. Iakchos attempted to turn the crowd away as they may face punishment from the Romans for their civil disobedience.[1]
When the Medjay, Bayek, travelled to the tomb, Iakchos enlisted his help to investigate the tomb, fearing that it may have been ransacked by the Centurion Cassius Albus. Bayek does so, and discovered that two relics, a medallion and a bow had been stolen and brought to the Roman Akropolis nearby. Bayek recovered the two relics, giving the medallion to Iakchos for safekeeping. Believing that the bow would be more useful in the hands of Bayek, Iakchos entrusted it to him for safekeeping, and so that he could use it to teach the Romans a lesson.[1]
