Ampelius of Capitolinus (died 38 BCE) was a Roman officer who served under Gaius Julius Rufio in the Sinai. An Order of the Ancients member, he used The Administrator as his cryptonym and oversaw all commerce in the peninsula, using the Walls-of-the-Ruler fortess as his base of operations.[1]
Biography
Ampelius originated from Capitolinus in Rome and was trained on the Roman trade routes with the Usipetes and Tencteri, using violence as a means of securing trade. He later came to serve under Rufio as one of his lieutenants and joined the Order of the Ancients.[2]
The local Hidden Ones in Rome, led by Amunet, recorded his actions before sending the intel to the bureau in Sinai. Ampelius was later sent to the peninsula, occupying the Walls-of-the-Ruler fortress and blocking the Way of Horus as he saw fit, and used dismemberment as his main method of discipline and fear mongering.[2]
In 38 BCE, the Hidden Ones sent Maqwat and her partner to observe Ampelius' actions from an old watchower across the Walls-of-the-Ruler, ensuring that he did not leave the fort. When the Hidden Ones' Mentor Bayek of Siwa arrived at the watchtower, Maqwat gave him intel on Ampelius' whereabouts and warned him that since the Roman was dressed like his captains, he would be hard to identify. Bayek eventually discovered and assassinated Ampelius, who with his dying words proclaimed that the Order was eternal.[1]
