Legacy
Bion was a trained ex-soldier who was hired by the Order of the Ancients to eradicate the Medjay bloodline.
His journey begins with tracing down the Medjay Emsaf and his bloodline in order to eradicate them. First, he looks for him at his home, only to discover that he already left. However, he manages to kill his wife Merti and his young son, Ebe.
However, Bion ultimately manages to outsmart Emsaf by using the corpse of a merchant he killed as a decoy, tying him to his horse with ropes. Emsaf thought his arrows had seemingly killed Bion, so he comes out of his hiding spot only to be stabbed from behind by the killer, who severed his spinal column. Now only able to speak and see, Emsaf was interrogated by Bion, who wanted to know about the other Medjay. However, since the dying man would not give away any information, he swiftly executed him.
Later on, Bion arrives at Djerty, where he captures and ltortures the elder Medjay Hemon and his blind ward, Sabestet. After getting the names of the last remaining Medjay true to the original bloodline, whose names are Sabu and Bayek and are currently found in the region Elephantine. Bion sets his course and finds Bayek and his travel companions; however, he is caught in a trap and gets injured, but manages to escape. Following this event, he spends several months recovering and many years in training.
After many years, Bion encounters Aya at a watering whole not too far from where Sabu and Bayek are encamped. He helps her get away from some horse thieves and requests her scarf as a token of gratitude. Aya complies, not knowing that her presence would lead him to the Meday's camp. Once there, Bion lets loose multiple arrows that hit Sabu, with Bayek’s stomach being sliced by Bion's blade shortly after. All three are ulimately injured in the ensuing battle, with Sabu choosing to push Bayek into the nearby river to save him. In doing so, he is struck down and killed by Bion. Bayek falls unconscious and is swept away safely by the river.
In the meanwhile, Aya arrives back in Siwa, where she meets her ill aunt, her old friends friends and Ahmose . After some time, Bion arrives in Siwa, too, and begins to ask locals about Bayek. He also encounters Aya, with whom he has a meaningful conversation.
Death
Eventually, Bayek comes home and he is warned by Aya about Bion's presence. They both lead to Bayek's old home, where a fight begins. In an attempt to destabilise the last Medjay, Bion reveals Aya's pregnancy. However, Bayek doesn't lower his guard and manages to defeat his opponent. Before dying, Bion reveals them the name of his emissary, Raia, who was the man behind the Medjay's eradication.
