Sayyum

"We're with you, Rai. We're all tired of running."

―Sayyum to Rai while hiding at the village ruins, 48 BCE.

Sayyum was an Egyptian farmer and the brother of Rai who lived during the 1st century BCE.

Biography

Sayyum and his sister were part of a family of farmers from a village near Uab Nome. At some point, the farm was raided by a group of bandits, who were pursuing their father's bow that was in Rais' possession. Their father, Rai's son, along with numerous farmers were slain by the bandits, forcing the siblings and the remaining farmers to flee the farm, eventually hiding in the ruins of a village in Uab Nome where they sought to make their final stand.

In 48 BCE, they were approached by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa, who offered his assistance against the bandits. While Rai showed Bayek a lookout point, Sayyum and others made preparations for the bandits' attack. Bayek joined him later, and together they awaited Rai's signal. At nightfall, the bandits attacked the farmers, who were able to eliminate the bandits with Bayek's help. During the attack, Sayyum learned the true reason for their bandits' pursue of the farmers: their father's bow. His sister then handed the bow over to Bayek, hoping to put an end to the bandit attacks and the sadness that came along with it.
