Phidias was a wealthy Greek merchant who resided in Alexandria, Egypt during the 1st century BCE with his wife and daughter Kara.

Biography

Phidias was a merchant who operated and sold goods in the docks north of the city. Despite losing much of his cargo due to various floods which occured prior to 48 BCE, Phidias was still able to forge a living for himself and his daughter, Kara. Due to his work, Phidias was often unable to take care of Kara, leading him to hire bodyguards to escort and take care of her.

In 48 BCE, Kara was due to attend a reception later that night, but due to Phidias' work, he was unable to escort her daughter home to make preparations. As such, he began searching for someone to be his daughter's bodyguard. Phidias later encountered the Medjay, Bayek, who agreed to help his escort his "cargo". Bayek, upon learning that his cargo was Kara, relunctantly agreed to escort his daughter. Later that evening, Phidias, worried for Kara's safety, decided to look for both Kara and Bayek. After a little searching, he discovered Kara in the market near the east gate of the city, with Bayek missing. Kara explained to her father that Bayek did not ran away from her and instead was "tending" to her horse Pegasus for a little moment. When Kara requested Bayek to be her permanent bodyguard, Phidias asked Bayek the cost for hiring, though the Medjay declined the offer.
