- "Be my eyes, Senu!"
- ―Bayek, calling out to Senu.[src]
Senu was a female Bonelli's eagle[1] who resided in the Ptolemaic Kingdom during the 1st century BCE. She was a loyal companion of Bayek, the former Medjay of Siwa and a co-founder of the Hidden Ones.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Bayek befriended Senu some time before 49 BCE and the two formed a close bond. This friendship extended to Bayek's son Khemu, though the boy on occasion would mistakenly refer to the eagle as a "he". At one point, Khemu's friend Chenzira tried to get him to steal Senu's feathers, telling him hat Senu's feathers would ensure his passage into the Field of Reeds, though Bayek scoffed at the notion.[2]
After Khemu was killed in 49 BCE, Bayek abandoned his Medjay duties and left Siwa to seek revenge on the Order of the Ancients, who were responsible for Khemu's death. As Senu had been injured, she was unable to join Bayek on his journey.[3] During Bayek's absence, Senu was nursed back to health and taken care of by the Siwan healer Rabiah.[4]
In 48 BCE, Bayek was reunited with Senu when he returned to Siwa to eliminate the Oracle of Amun Medunamun, an Order member.[5] Senu subsequently accompanied Bayek in his hunt for the remaining Order members[3] and still served as his companion a decade later, after Bayek and his wife Aya had founded the Hidden Ones.[6]
Abilities[edit | edit source]
Senu shared a mutualistic relationship with her master, who, with the ability of Eagle Vision, could view the world from her perspective. As a result, she was a powerful medium of reconnaissance for Bayek on his adventures, who could not only see what Senu saw, but also hear conversations down on the ground below.[3] Additionally, when her master was out in the field, Senu would always be loyally following him from high up in the air and could assist him in one of two ways, either swooping down to kill nearby animals if Bayek was hunting, or harassing an enemy to distract them if Bayek was infiltrating restricted locations, thus giving Bayek a chance to deal a killing blow.[3]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
After completing all the tours in Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt, an exclusive skin for Senu called "White Senu" is unlocked. It seems to be based on hierofalcons, a group of birds commonly used for falconry in the Middle East and North Africa.
