A bandit is an individual, often belonging to a gang, who habitually partake in illegal activities, typically in an isolated or lawless region.

History

5th century BCE

With the absence of a proper and organized law enforcement, usually fulfilled by guards, bandits were widespread in ancient antiquity. People who had found robbing and harrying of civilians profitable also harassed the Spartan misthios Kassandra throughout her travels across Greece during the Peloponnesian War.

Exceptions to haphazard bandits did exist, as proven by the existence of The Dagger, a criminal organization haunting the Abantis Islands.

1st century BCE

Bandits were also a common sight in ancient Egypt during the Ptolemaic Kingdom. The Medjay Bayek of Siwa encountered and fought numerous bandits while he was hunting down the Order of the Ancients.

Of special note during this time were the gangs called Hungry Great Ones in Sap-Meh and Sapi-Res Nomes and the Disciples of the Lioness in the proximity of Letopolis.

19th century

In Victorian London, England, bandits were organized into gangs, and in 1868, the two leading gangs were the Blighters led by Maxwell Roth, and the Clinkers, who were taken over by the British Assassins Evie and Jacob Frye, and renamed Rooks.
