In 48 BCE, the Medjay Bayek travelled to the city after having being sent by Cleopatra to assassinate Berenike, Hetepi, Khaliset and Taharqa, members of the Order of the Ancients. There, he was reunited with his wife Aya and Cleopatra, who dispatched him to investigate an assassination plot on her life after capturing an informant for the Ancients Livius.[1]
