Biographer

A fellow farmer and villager to Rahotep and his father, Turo owed a debt to the latter when he daughter was endangered, and Rahotep's father took a lashing to protect it. Around 48 BCE, Turo's village was attacked by bandits following the Son of Ra, and the villagers took up arms to defend themselves including Turo. However, Turo and the farmers were captured and brought to a hideout by a waterfall. This gave birth to rumors that villages were disappearing, due to demons. The rumors were fed by one of the farmers who managed to escape, Addaya, who had been apparently driven mad by what he'd gone through, insisting on being tortured by demons and monsters.

The Medjay Bayek of Siwa met Addaya, and the man's ranting led the Medjay to Rahotep, and together they sought to save what remained of the villagers. Bayek infiltrated the bandits' hideout, and freed the Dionysiotes, escorting them out, where Rahotep greeted them, to Turo's delight.

After a brief discussion, the farmers decided to raid the bandits' other hideout nearby. With the help of Bayek, they dealt with the bandits, and found Rahotep's father. Though badly hurt and blinded, the man was able to recover, and the farmers embraced each other.
