Biography

Gaia was a wealthy woman from Rome, owning a villa in the city of Memphis. Her wealth largely came from human trafficking, trading with a fellow Roman, Aemilius, in Alexandria. In 48 BCE, Gaia sought to continue her operations. As such, she kidnapped children from the streets, including those who'd been sheltered by Nef at his house, locking them in her villa and exploiting them to steal for her. Kawit, a teenager Nef also had taken under his wing, plotted to free the kids but was eventually discovered. Gaia locked her up in the cage with another child named Matia. The Medjay Bayek of Siwa learned of these operations from one of the children and eventually freed both Kawit and Matia from the cage.

As retaliation for Kawit's actions, Gaia had Nef murdered in his house before leaving Memphis for Alexandria. Bayek, however, was able to track down her trireme with colored sails on the Nile with Senu's help. He snuck aboard her ship and assassinated her, thus avenging Kawit and the children, as well as Nef.
