Apep

This article is a stub. You can help Assassin's Creed Wiki by expanding it.

Apep, or Apophis, was an ancient Egyptian deity embodying chaos. He was usually depicted as a giant serpent that could devour the hearts - and thus the souls- of the dead. In mythology, Apep and Ra have an eternal battle which represents the cycle of night and day.

In 48 BCE, the Medjay Bayek experienced a drug-induced hallucination in which he fought and defeated Apep with a glowing bow and arrows aboard Ra's solar barge.^[1] A decade later, when Bayek seemingly visited the Duat as part of his mision to end the Curse of the Pharaohs, Apep's decaying skeleton could be found.^[2]

Trivia

Apep's role as the Devourer is also shared by a female monster named Ammit. She has the head of a crocodile, the front half of a lioness and the rear half of a hippo. If the heart is heavier than the feather on the scale, she would eat the heart. Once Ammit swallowed the heart, the soul was believed to become restless forever; this was called "to die a second time".
