Después de Act 1

En este capítuloThrough Apollodorus, Bayek and Aya learn that the masked men belonged to the Order of the Ancients, which orchestrated Cleopatra's overthrow and controls the pharaoh Ptolemy XIII.

Apollodorus tells Bayek and Aya about the Order of the Ancients, which has Ptolemy XIII as a puppet. Cleopatra, exiled, asks for their help and gives Bayek a list of Order targets. Aya works with Pompey, who is murdered by Lucius Septimius. Cleopatra turns to Caesar, and Bayek and Aya help her by infiltrating Alexander the Great's tomb. Pothinus is killed, Ptolemy drowns and Cleopatra takes the throne.

The civil war between Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIII is the historical backdrop, and the Order is shown to be a hidden player in it. The political story gives the game its epic scale. Bayek and Aya are not at the centre of history, but they influence it from behind the scenes. The Order's targets are a series of mini-stories, each exposing a different kind of corruption.

Cleopatra's victory is also the point where she becomes a political player in her own right, which will have consequences for Bayek and Aya. Pompey's death at the hands of Septimius is a real historical event, and the game ties it to the Order. Alexander's tomb is a set piece that links Egypt's Ptolemaic dynasty to the older Greek world.

En este capítuloCleopatra allies with both Caesar and the Order, betraying Bayek and Aya.

Cleopatra sides with Caesar and the Order, abandoning those who helped her. Apollodorus, dying, reveals that Flavius Metellus, Caesar's lieutenant, is the leader of the Order. Flavius and Septimius use the Apple and Staff to open the vault and find a map. In Cyrene, the artifact is used to control the population. Bayek kills Flavius and avenges Khemu.

Aya goes to Rome to take part in Caesar's assassination. Before parting, Bayek and Aya found the Hidden Ones, swearing to protect the world from the shadows. Cyrene is the final location, where the artifact's power is shown in full. The ending of the main story is both revenge and creation. Bayek's grief produces the Brotherhood, and the order he opposed pushes him to build one of his own.

Aya's departure is a hard moment. Her path takes her to Rome, away from Bayek, and the two will never again fight side by side. The founding of the Hidden Ones explains the origin of the Assassins and the connection to the Templar and Order rivalry. The founding of the Hidden Ones is the series' origin story. Their first oath is to protect the world from the shadows.

Aya's choice to go to Rome means Bayek and Aya are not together at the founding in the traditional sense, and the game makes this separation emotional.

En este capítuloBayek and Amunet establish the Hidden Ones' first tenet: do not harm innocents.

In Sinai, Bayek and Aya help a rebellion against Rome and kill General Rufio, an Order member. Bayek executes the rebel leader Gamilat for sacrificing civilians, which leads Bayek and Amunet to set the Hidden Ones' first rule against harming innocents.

In Thebes, Bayek investigates a curse that brought dead pharaohs back, defeats them and confronts Isidora, who used a Piece of Eden to avenge her mother. He entrusts the Piece to Sutekh. The expansions show Bayek as a teacher and as a man who has learned to carry his grief.

The expansions give the Hidden Ones their moral code. The first tenet comes not from theory but from a hard choice. Rufio's words are a warning: the Order's ideology survives its members, which is why the series continues for centuries. The Curse of the Pharaohs shows how a Piece of Eden can turn grief into destruction, mirroring Bayek's own loss.

The Curse of the Pharaohs plays with Egyptian mythology and adds the realms of Aaru and Aten as places Bayek must enter. Gamilat's execution is the first hard test of the Hidden Ones' principle, and it makes Bayek question his own methods.

En este capítuloAbstergo researcher Layla Hassan finds Bayek's mummy in Egypt and secretly extracts his DNA to use in an Animus.

Layla, who works for Abstergo, finds Bayek's remains and uses an Animus to relive his life, later adding Aya's. Her work reveals First Civilization structures and a role she may have in preventing an apocalypse. William Miles invites her to join the Assassins. She refuses to join but agrees to travel to Alexandria with him.

Layla acts as a new protagonist for the modern story after Desmond, a researcher who wants answers more than a side. The modern-day frame turns Bayek's story into history that matters to the present.
