Aya was a Greco-Egyptian agent to Cleopatra VII, the last pharaoh of Egypt, as well as the wife of Bayek, who trained her in the arts of the Medjay.
Biography
Half-Greek and half-Egyptian, Aya was born in Alexandria, but moved to Siwa at an early age to live with her aunt Herit, while her scholar parents stayed in the capital. In Siwa, she became close to the son of the town's protector, Bayek, and by their fifteen birthday, they were a couple. Bayek's father, Sabu, didn't approve their relationship as he knew that Aya's dream was to settle in Alexandria and he feared that her mixed heritage would corrupt his teachings.[1]
Later, after Bayek left Siwa and Aya to look after his father, Aya followed him and joined his quest for answers. Eventually, the two lovers discovered that Sabu was secretly one of the fabled Medjay and that he was investigating a lethal killer trying to crush the last remnants of the Bloodline. After they escaped the killer sent by the Order of the Ancients, the three of them settled in the desert, where Sabu pushed forward the basic training of his son during several years, as they were now the last two Medjay. While training in the morning with his father, Bayek trained with Aya the rest of the day, sharing his new knowledge with the agreement of his father.[1]
Eventually, Bion, tracked them down again and killed Sabu but they later successfully killed the psychopath in Siwa. After she discovered her pregnancy, Aya renounced her dream to go back to Alexandria to become a scholar, also pushing away her doubts about the Medjay ways, and married Bayek. She later gave birth to their son, Khemu.[1]
She eventually became an agent for Queen Cleopatra VII.[2] Her loyalty to Cleopatra strained her marriage with Bayek, but their union would prove instrumental in the formal birth of the Assassin Brotherhood.[3]
Personality and traits
Aya was a strong believer in Cleopatra while her husband was more circumspect.[3]
