Initially sharing power with her father, and later, with her brothers, Cleopatra was soon exiled by her younger brother Ptolemy XIII, and fled Alexandria. During her years in exile, Cleopatra made the acquaintance of Bayek, a Medjay, whose wife, Aya, served Cleopatra. Following this, Cleopatra began a liaison with Gaius Julius Caesar, who aided Cleopatra in her struggle against her younger brother.[1] Through his aid, Cleopatra eventually gained sole control of Egypt under the watchful eye of the Templars.[2]
