- "Your whore of a wife is a murderess! Willfully and wantonly. I did my duty as a Phylakitai. And for this, you have taken my life. Is your vengeance above all law, Medjay? Be warned, the Phylakes will hunt you down and exact revenge."
- ―Gennadios to Bayek in his final moments, 48 BCE.[src]
Gennadios (died 48 BCE) was a phylakitai and the strategos of Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy XIII.
Biography
In 48 BCE, Aya, an agent in service to Cleopatra VII, killed Actaeon and Ktesos, both members of the Order of the Ancients. Gennadios, in his role as strategos, led his men on a house-to-house search for Aya. Residents were dragged out of their homes and severely beaten for information, while the phylakitai ransacked their dwellings. These vicious acts were sanctioned by Ptolemy's Royal Scribe, Eudoros, another secret member of the Order.[1][2]
As Gennadios turned his attention to Alexandria's Jewish quarter, Aya's husband, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa, infiltrated the Akra Garrison and killed him as he prepared to torture more prisoners. In his final moments, Gennadios insisted that he was only doing his duty as a phylakitai in chasing down Aya for her crimes. He questioned whether Bayek and Aya's quest for vengeance against the Order went above the law and warned the Medjay that the Phylakes would hunt him down to exact revenge.[3]
