Biography
In 38 BCE, Rufio ordered Ptahmose to oversee various demolitions of Egyptian landmarks across the Sinai in order to use the raw materials in Roman infrastructure, and sell any artifacts to fund Roman war efforts. His role in the Order of the Ancients was to find and collect shards of a star, this being his genuine impetus for ravaging Amenmesse's pyramid. [citation needed]
Ptahmose was assassinated in his camp in Arsinoe by the Hidden One Bayek of Siwa, thus stopping his pillaging of Egyptian temples and monuments.[1]
Personality and characteristics
Ptahmose was a cruel man, known to ruthlessly exploit his workers or order his guards to torture his prisoners for information.[1] He felt no affection for his countrymen or their shared culture, and was willing to demolish ancient monuments to cannibalise the raw materials and sell any sacred artifacts within to fund Rome's military. [citation needed]
In his final moments, Ptahmose expressed fear and disbelief at Bayek's presence, referring to him as "the blades of Thoth" and believing the former Medjay to be an avenging spirit sent by the gods to punish him for desecrating hallowed structures and artifacts. Despite his dismay, Ptahmose felt no remorse for his actions, insisting that the Order would last forever. [citation needed]
