Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator (62 BCE – 47 BCE) was a Pharaoh of Egypt, ruling alongside his older sister and wife Cleopatra VII from 51 BCE until his death.
History
In 51 BCE, Ptolemy became the co-ruler of Egypt with his sister until he exiled her from Alexandria. As Pharaoh, Ptolemy became a pawn of the Order of the Ancients[1], who aided him in his war against his exiled sister. However Ptolemy's killing of the Roman Pompey brought the wrath of Julius Caesar upon him[2], forcing the boy Pharaoh to later battle Caesar, who would in time join forces with Ptolemy's exiled sister Cleopatra for the control of Egypt.
Alexandrian Civil War
Battle of the Nile and Death
During the Alexandrian Civil War in 47 BCE, Ptolemy's soldiers were defeated by the efforts of Julius Caesar, Bayek of Siwa and Aya of Alexandria.
As Ptolemy made an attempt at escape on a raft with a soldier by his side, he saw Aya, who decided to lower her bow and spare Ptolemy's life because of her skepticism and grown distrust of Cleopatra's ambitions as well as cruel heart to have order her own brother's death, much to Ptolemy's silent gratitude.
Despite this act of mercy towards the young Pharaoh, Aya was forced to watch the young Pharaoh's raft got ambushed by crocodiles and he was killed as a result, leaving Aya feeling disgusted with all she has done for Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. [citation needed]
