The Hidden One Bayek wore several robes during his quest across Egypt. Many of them were custom made, others were found in hidden tombs.
Hidden One robes[edit | edit source]
The fabric that creates the hood at the base also wraps around the neck of the protagonist to protect him not only from the enemies' view but also from the heat as it is white-gray. Moreover, the hood is not decorated and is, in fact, ruined on the edges, has some holes, in some parts is ripped and roughly sewed. Under the hood there is a "Usekh" or "Wesekh" collar with an eagle skull necklace that once belonged to his son, Khemu. On the left shoulder, under the Usekh, Bayek has a pauldron with a metal or maybe fabric plate on with a Medjay badge depicting the Eye of Horus. Under the Usekh and the hood there are two drapes, a white one ending under the sash and a yellow and brown one, decorated but ripped, on the left side that at knee level becomes reddish. The yellow and brown drape falls both in front and behind and it's kept steady by various belts.[1]
At waist level was the iconic red sash. This time it is very thick and visible and a part of it falls both in front and behind Bayek. Between the chest and the waist, there are also five belts, essential to support the various fabrics but also the quiver and the two leather bags. The lower belt has unadorned metal plaques lacking any kind of design. Remaining at waist level, Bayek has a leather bag on the front, which also has two pockets on both sides (probably containing various objects used to create distractions). On the lower back there is another gray and brown leather bag, probably used for additional small equipment. The lower portion of the robes also includes brown pants that reach the knee, leaving the rest of the leg naked and brown leather sandals.[1]
