History
During the late 1st century BCE, Merti operated in Upper Egypt, where she worked as a tomb robber, pursuing the relic they dubbed as the Aten. On one occasion, Merti's group desecrated the Necropolis of the Nobles in the Theban Necropolis. The God's Wife of Amun, Nitokris, made attempts to prevent the desecration, one of which ultimately resulted in her death. Merti, driven by guilt, abandoned her job as a tomb robber and turned to smuggling instead.[1]She would also ocassionaly make visits to Nitokris' crypt in the necropolis, making offerings to make amends. At some point, she gained the acquaintance of the Hidden One, Amunet, whom she owed affairs to.[2]
In 38 BCE, Amunet sent a letter and parcel to Bayek instructing her to give to Merti outside Luxor, near her shop. She told Bayek what seemed to be a brief summary of the curse and how it began, and advised him to check the black market for clues. Before leaving the city, she also advised him to speak to Isidora, the God's Wife of Amun at Karnak should he have any further enquiries.[2]
