The Medjay were members of an ancient Egyptian military who acted as desert scouts and protectors of areas of pharaonic interest. An elite police force, the Medjay were descended from an ancient people of Nubia who inhabited northern Sudan and southern Egypt and were often used to protect valuable areas, like capital cities, royal cemeteries, and the borders of Egypt.
By the time of the reign of Cleopatra, the role had faded away, with Bayek being the last Medjay and acting as a sheriff of sorts for his community.
