Kawit

Kawit was a teenage girl living on the streets of Memphis during the 1st century BCE. She was one of the children Nef had taken under his wing, and as such, was a 'sister' to Iphri and Matia.

Biography

Saving the street urchins

"I'm going to track down the Roman bitch who did this to my family."

―Kawit to Bayek after being freed, 48 BCE.

In 48 BCE, the wealthy Roman woman Gaia Afrania stole children living on the streets and forced them into slavery as well as into stealing for her. When Kawit tried to save the children Gaia had locked up, Kawit was taken, too. The next day, Iphri ran into the Medjay Bayek of Siwa and, after telling him what had happened, asked him to find his sister. Bayek tracked Gaia's men to the Apagogeas Hideout south of Memphis and slew the guards, then talked to a child hiding inside. The child told Bayek that Kawit and the others had been taken to a villa in Memphis.

There, Bayek found a series of letters between Gaia and an Alexandrian by the name of Aemilius, revealing them as human traffickers. In the villa's basement, he found Kawit and another child, Matia. Iphri revealed that he had followed Bayek all along, and although the children left for Nef's house, Kawit swore vengeance on Gaia.

Later life

Later, Bayek found them all at Nef's home crying over a dead body. Kawit informed Bayek that Gaia's men had murdered Nef in front of the children, and vowed to "feed her to the crocodiles one piece at a time." Since Kawit had been injured in the house attack, Bayek agreed to avenge what the Roman had done to the children and left her to care for the little ones. When Bayek returned and informed Kawit that he had killed Gaia as promised, he also proposed she join his nascent freedom-fighter group to combat oppression, an offer she accepted.
