Pasherenptah (90 BCE – 41 BCE) was an Egyptian who served as the High Priest at the Temple of Ptah in Memphis during the 1st century BCE, with his tenure lasting from 76 BCE until his death in 41 BCE.

Biography
Troubles in Memphis
During the 1st century BCE, Pasherenptah served as the High Priest of Ptah in Memphis. He met and married Taimhotep, the daughter of a noble family in the city. For many years, Pasherenptah and Taimhotep had hopes of having children to carry on their traditions and inherit the position.[1]
Beginning in the mid-1st century BCE, Memphis became afflicted with a series of terrible 'curses', all of which were secretly initiated by Hetepi, a Priest of Anubis who served under Pasherenptah as one of his counsellors. Pasherenptah's own house was not immune to ills and ailments that seemed to plague the city, for Taimhotep suffered various miscarriages, leading her to fear it would affect Pasherenptah's reputation. All this led Pasherenptah to seek the aid of the Pharaoh Cleopatra and her follower Apollodorus.[2]
In 48 BCE, Pasherenptah met with Apollodorus and Cleopatra in the former's estate in Kanopos Nome, where he was introduced to Aya of Alexandria and her husband, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa. There, they learned about the Order of the Ancients, an organization with power over various regions of Egypt. Pasherenptah explained that one of the members called "The Lizard" had been consolidating power in Memphis and had placed the city under a spell, such that even the Apis Bull was affected. Pasherenptah and the group sought Bayek's help to eliminate the Order, which he accepted.[2]
True to his word, Pasherenptah was later sought out by Bayek after eliminating both the Scarab and the Hyena. Following a brief argument with Taimhotep, Pasherenptah confided in Bayek on how bad things were and requested that he investigate various apparently unrelated incidences, discovering that they all had "The Lizard" at their root.[3]
Having discovered The Lizard's identity, a Priest of Anubis named Hetepi, Bayek met with Pasherenptah and Cleopatra at the Palace of Apries. While initially shocked by the revelation that Hetepi, one of his closest advisors, was the Lizard, Pasherenptah agreed that the traitorous priest needed to die, and gave his blessing for Bayek to assassinate Hetepi.[4]
The Hidden Ones
In 47 BCE, after Cleopatra ascended the throne as the sole pharaoh of Egypt, allying herself with Gaius Julius Caesar and seemingly with Flavius Metellus and Lucius Septimius, who were both members of the Order of the Ancients, Pasherenptah met with Aya, Bayek and others in a tavern in Alexandria. Expressing their disgust with Cleopatra's alignment, they agreed to form an organization to fight against the Order's influence and preserve the free will of the people.[5]
