Biography

Nefertari: "You're either very brave or very foolish, setting foot back here."

Bayek: "Nefertari... isn't it? A thousand blessings are long overdue."

—Nefertari greeting Bayek upon his return, 48 BCE.

In 48 BCE, Nefertari found an unconscious and heavily wounded Medjay Bayek of Siwa outside the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu, bringing him back to Nitria to tend to his wounds. When Bayek regained consciousness, he immediately left the mine and returned to Siwa, not even thanking Nefertari. At some point after his departure, the mine became plagued by an omen; the shrines of Anubis around the village were disrupted and people either went missing or got injured trying to restore them. In addition, workers started falling sick more often, causing Nefertari much distress.

A few months later, Bayek eventually returned to the mine to give proper thanks to Nefertari for saving his life. Nefertari escorted him through the mine, informing him of the misfortune that had befallen the village after his departure. She enlisted his help to restore the shrines of Anubis and investigate the omen so that Nitria would once again be "protected". Bayek agreed, travelling to each site including one in the Bent Pyramid and restored the shrines, while recovering charms of Anubis in the process. When Bayek returned to Nitria, he gave one of the charms to Nefertari, who assured Bayek that she would look into it. Before the Medjay left, Nefertari asked for his help once more, this time to accompany her assistant, Suphia, to aid the rebels in their hideout.

Trivia

• Nefertari wears an amulet of the hippopotamus-goddess Taweret. This was likely due to the belief that the goddess' mere likeness was able to ward off malevolent forces.
