Talk:Bayek

Founder of the Assassin Brotherhood

So does this mean just the Egyptian Branch like the Polo brothers were for the Italian and Constantinople branches? Or the Brotherhood in its current structure? Or the actual beginning of the Assassins? Because wouldn't that retcon a whole bunch of stuff. I mean Darius, Iltani, and Wei Yu predate Bayek by centuries not to emotion Eve who I though held the title as the founder of the group. Even Amunet and Brutus and co. are contemporaries and while Amunet might turn out to be Bayek's apprentice, I doubt we can same the same for the others.

At the moment, it's hard to say. My guess is that a lot of the structures and ideas (the tenets maybe?) we now associate with the Brotherhood began with Bayek, but the concept of an Assassin, a lone agent that seeks to combat corruption through assassinations, most likely predates him, as we know from Darius, Iltani and Wei Yu. The Hidden Blade, at least, is known to have existed before Bayek so I would not consider him to be the TRUE beginning of the Assassins, but an important stepping stone of sorts in the Brotherhood's development.

That's just speculation on my part though, I'd have to go read the promotional material for Origins a bit more thoroughly. And even then, it's promotional material, it's not always in line with what is actually depicted in the game. Crook ^{The Constantine District} 06:46, June 12, 2017 (UTC)
