The man known as the Son of Ra (died 47 BCE) was an Egyptian farmer-turned-criminal who led a group of bandits, in and around Dionysias, around 47 BCE.[1]
Biography
Sometime before 47 BCE, the man who would become known as the Son of Ra was a farmer whose farm was burned down by unknown attackers; an attack that also led to the death of his family. Thinking that all their neighboring farmers did nothing but watch and stand back, the man took on the moniker Son of Ra. Sometime after, he had created a kind of a cult around himself, its members consisting of bandits who revered Son of Ra as a god, believing in his divinity. They made the ruins in the White Desert their home, and Son of Ra set up a shrine at the foot of the statue of Sobek there.[1]
With this group, Son of Ra begun to harass and burn down the farms on the outskirts of Dionysias in 51 BCE.[1]
Sometime in 47 BCE, Son of Ra was incarcerated by the local militia in the Dionysias Caravanserai. The local captain, Kallipos, wanted to execute him, but his superiors forbid this. From his prison, Son of Ra was somehow able to send messages to his followers, ordering them to continue their activities.[1]
Working in conjunction with Zahra, a Dionysiasian farmer-turned-warrior who sought to end Son of Ra's activities, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa infiltrated the fort and assassinated Son of Ra.[1]
Trivia
- The Son of Ra's words on how the world would burn and how neither the Order nor Bayek could save it is possibly a forewarning of the Second Disaster.
