- ―Reda[src]
Reda was, by all appearances, an Egyptian nomadic merchant and child prodigy. He made rounds throughout Lower Egypt and Cyrenaica with his camel Amun during the reign of Ptolemy XIII and, centuries later, toured England accompanied by an Anglo-Saxon man during the reign of Alfred the Great as representative of the Thousand Eyes.
Biography
Allegedly an orphan, Reda travelled throughout Egypt with his camel, mostly selling rare and legendary weapons and carbon crystals. Also a gambler, Reda proposed customers to buy the random content of the Heka chest, a mystery box. In 48 BCE, Reda came across the Medjay Bayek of Siwa in Yamu, who was passing through the village towards Alexandria. Reda introduced himself to Bayek, offering to sell his goods to the Medjay if he needed them.[1]
By 38 BCE, Reda also extended his travels to the Sinai[2] and Upper Egypt,[3] yet strangely had not seemed to have aged a day in the ten years since Bayek had last seen him.
Without any known aid, Reda somehow survived into the late 9th century, by which time he had founded the Thousand Eyes, a secret merchant guild run by local orphans. He eventually met the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir in 873 as she assisted the Raven Clan in settling their new home of Ravensthorpe.[4] Reda explained to Eivor how his guild operated, wherein completing contracts for him was rewarded with opals, which could then be traded for rare and exotic gear.[5]
Shortly after setting up shop, Reda entertained Sylvi, Eira, and Knud with an exaggerated tale of Bayek and Amunet's mission to seek justice for the murder of their son Khemu. Eivor heard his story as she passed by and listed, commenting after he had finished on its fanciful nature, to which he replied that all his tales were simultaneously "perfectly and mostly true".[6]
In 879, Reda later expanded his business' reach to Ireland and established a shop in the heart of Dublin's market square.[7]
Personality and characteristics
Reda had an acute business acumen and respect for his customers. Across their various meetings, Reda provided differing stories of his parents' deaths to Bayek, one of which was that an Alexandrian Phylakitai had caught them stealing and boiled them in a bronze bull. Later on, he told Bayek that his father was poisoned by his mother, and that she was later killed by a hippopotamus.[1]
Behind the scenes
Reda's tale of Bayek and Amunet's life contains embellishments of to what is depicted in Assassin's Creed: Origins, though this can easily be attributed to the dramatic flair required for a storyteller. However, towards the end of the story, he says that "they met upon the river's edge [and] separated. She travelled east, he west". This runs counter to what is presented in Origins and both its accompanying DLCs, The Hidden Ones and The Curse of the Pharaohs, since it is instead Amunet who travels west in order to assassinate Julius Caesar in Rome, while Bayek heads east into Sinai to work on expanding the Hidden Ones there, and then to Thebes and the Valley of the Kings to investigate rumors about a curse of undead pharaohs plaguing the land.
