In 48 BCE, after learning the pharaoh Cleopatra would be staying in the city of Herakleion, Venator was approached by a fellow Gabiniani Lucius Septimius to assassinate the pharaoh. Collaborating with an informant of the Order, Livius, Venator rented a room in the brothel where he made his preparations to ensure Cleopatra would not escape alive. Venator had one of his men posing as a woman to infiltrate the palace as a lute player. Some of his men would pose as wine merchants, arriving at the docks and set a fire to cause a panic. Venator also placed his men in a watchtower near the palace to eliminate Cleopatra during the confusion.[1]

However, Venator's plan was later discovered by Cleopatra's followers, who had captured Livius and tortured him for information. Bayek later thwarted Venator's plan by eliminating his followers. In a last ditch effort to assassinate the pharaoh, Venator led his men into the palace through the docks, clashing with Bayek. Despite his efforts however, Venator was eventually cut down by the Medjay.[1]
