Phylakes

The Phylakes were an elite Greco-Roman paramilitary force who served as bounty hunters for Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII during the final years of the Ptolemaic Kingdom.

In 48 BCE, they were given orders to hunt the Medjay Bayek of Siwa after he assassinated the Phylakitai of Alexandria, Gennadios. Each member, with the exception of Abar, patrolled separate regions of Egypt throughout the Alexandrine war, but all were ultimately slain by Bayek, who turned the hunt against them.
