Biography
Khalid was a loyal follower of the goddess Bastet, the protector of cats. As such, he took to protecting the cats in the city. During the Roman occupation of the city sometime after 47 BCE, Khalid came upon the sight of a Roman soldier abusing a cat and killing another. As such, Khalid killed the soldier and dumped his body in a nearby haystack, while bringing the injured cat to safety.[1]
Khalid was later visited by the Medjay, Bayek of Siwa, who had followed the trails after investigating the scene. Bayek informed Khalid that his actions almost instigated a riot in the city, encouraging him to leave the city for his safety and visit a temple in Bubastis so that he could serve his god better. Eliminating numerous Roman soldiers along the way, Khalid was escorted by Bayek to the west gate of the city, thus assuring his safety.[1]
