Plot
In the present, Layla Hassan, a researcher at Abstergo, has developed a modified version of the Animus that allows the user to not need the same genetic make-up of the subject whose memories he relives; contrary to the orders of Sophia Rikkin, the woman goes to Egypt, where instead of tracing an artifact of the First Civilization she locates the tomb of two murderers, and assisted remotely by her friend and colleague Deanna experiments with the machinery reliving their memories.
The woman thus discovers the story of Bayek of Siwa and his wife Aya, two Egyptian spouses, both warriors, who lived in the first century BC. Bayek, one of the last remaining medjays, protects the prosperous oasis of Siwa; one day he and his son Khemu are kidnapped by a group of five masked men, who try to force the man to open a secret crypt hidden under the temple of Amun in Siwa. Bayek's refusal follows a scuffle during which little Khemu is accidentally killed. Bayek and Aya swear vengeance on the mysterious men and separate to find and eliminate them.
A year later, Bayek managed to track down and kill a member of the masked group, Rudjek, known as the Airone; back in Siwa he discovers that the priest of the Medunamun temple is actually another adept, the Ibis. After killing him, Bayek goes to Alexandria, where he finds his wife Aya, who has allied herself with Cleopatra and thanks to her support has tracked down and killed two other members of the group, the Vulture and Aries. He remains a single member alive, known as the Snake; the two manage to discover their secret identity: this is Eudoro, a Greek scribe. Bayek finds him in the baths of Alexandria and kills him with a weapon given to him by Aya, the first Hidden Blade, at the cost of his ring finger that is amputated during the scuffle. (hence the ritual of cutting such an annular as Altair will do to use the blade.) Before dying, however, Eudoro instills in Bayek the doubt that he is not the last member of the group of mysterious men. Bayek meets Cleopatra, who tells him that indeed Eudoro had the Hippopotamus as his name; the Serpent is actually the collective name of a secret society known as the Order of the Ancients, whose members took possession of the whole of Egypt and dispossessed it by using the new pharaoh, his brother Tolomeo XIII, as a puppet for their own evil purposes. The five men killed by Bayek and Aya were in fact the followers of lower rank, while four others of higher lineage control as many areas of the Kingdom keeping the population in check by brutal and terrifying methods. Bayek therefore accepts to become Cleopatra's medjay and travels all over Egypt, helping the oppressed people and obtaining information on the identity of the four adepts, known as the Scarabeo, the Hyena, the Crocodile and the Lizard. The warrior will be able to identify them and assassinate them all, freeing the regions that they controlled from time to time. Aya, meanwhile, goes to Greece to convince Gnaeus Pompey the Great to ally with Cleopatra.
Once their respective missions are completed, Bayek and Aya receive the news that none of those who killed were actually guilty of Khemu's death: there are in fact other members of the Order, even higher, infiltrated in the ranks of the personal guard of Ptolemy: the Scorpion and the Jackal. Bayek discovers that the latter is actually Lucio Settimio, head of the Gabiniani, but he can not stop him from killing Pompey. Having no more allies, Cleopatra decides to meet directly with Julius Caesar and with the help of Bayek and Aya manages to sneak into his court wrapped in a carpet. Caesar, seduced by Cleopatra, became his ally and turned his back on Ptolemy: the Alexandrian civil war broke out. During the clashes Bayek and Aya actively help Caesar and Cleopatra; the medjay manages to track down the Scorpion, under whose mask hides the council Potino, foils his plans and kills him. However, Caesar prevents him from also murdering Septimius. Aya instead renounces to kill Ptolemy, who however dies devoured by a crocodile while trying to escape sailing on the Nile.
Once the war is over, Cleopatra takes back the throne and becomes the new pharaoh of Egypt; however, she and Caesar, now also sentimentally linked, cut off relations with Bayek and Aya and take Settimio as their advisor. This makes the two understand that the sovereigns have in turn been allied with the Ancients. The two medjays then decide to recruit the people who helped during their missions to form the sect of the Occult, a new order that defends the people and their free will. Bayek meanwhile realizes that the Order of the Ancients had set his sights on the tomb of Alexander the Great, and together with Aya he went there but only to find Apollodorus wounded to death, killed by Caesar's lieutenant, Flavius. This is actually Leo, head of the Order of the Ancients and guilty of Khemu's death. Flavius has taken possession of the Scepter and the Globe contained in the tomb, in fact artifacts of the First Civilization; thanks to them he manages to penetrate the crypt of Siwa and to snatch its secrets. Bayek and Aya go there but too late: Flavio slaughtered all the medjays who defended her. Bayek, officially the last medjay still alive, then goes to Cyrene where he finally manages to face Flavio, made stronger by the powers of the Apple of Eden, and defeats him, finally avenging the death of Khemu and all the people killed by the Order.
Bayek returns from Aya, who in the meantime has allied with Marco Giunio Bruto and Gaius Cassio Longino to defeat Caesar. At the departure of the woman for Rome, the two spouses understand that their love has been sacrificed in the name of the Occult mission. The two say goodbye, however, swearing to find themselves in death and to continue to protect the world from evil. Bayek drops an amulet belonging to Khemu, the skull of an eagle, which imprints a pattern in the sand that will then become the symbol of the Assassins, suggesting that the Occult are the ancestors of this order. Aya goes to Rome, where he confronts Settimio and then assassin Caesar; then he will go to Cleopatra to kill her, but seeing the little Caesarion takes pity and saves her, however, warning her to be a good sovereign, otherwise she will return to finish the job. Aya changes his name to Amunet and settles in Rome, where he establishes a section of the Occult; Bayek in Egypt also continues its mission, recruiting new followers and defending the oppressed.
In the present Layla is traced and attacked by the members of Abstergo, who have noticed his absence; thanks to the skills obtained with the osmosis effect Layla is able to defend herself, but Deanna is captured and killed. Layla swears vengeance and returns to the animus, determined to carry out his mission; at the end of the enterprise is reached by William Miles, father of Desmond, who offers protection in exchange for aid to the Assassins. Layla agrees to collaborate but not to join the Order, and the two leave together for Alexandria.
The curse of the pharaohs
Two years after the events narrated in the main campaign (and two before those taking place in The Occult) Bayek hears some rumors about a curse that is plaguing Thebes: the city would be infested by the spirits of some pharaohs who had died centuries earlier, appearing 'sudden in the city to kill the innocent. The medjay goes to the ancient capital where he contacts Isidora, priestess of Amun in the Temple of Karnak: he discovers that the apparitions are connected to the Atton, the solar disk adored by the so-called heretic pharaohs, which is actually a relic of the First Civilization able to bring the dead back to life. Bayek decides to investigate and goes to the Valley of the Kings, where he discovers he can access through the magic portals to the Duat: here he can visit the underworld where they rest Nefertiti, Akhenaten and Ramses II, in order to perform the rituals to give peace to their souls and thus liberate the city from their spirits. Meanwhile, Bayek discovers that the theft of the relic occurred at the hands of Isidora herself, who wished to use it to punish the tomb raiders who had killed her mother years before. The medjay manages to track her down just as she is evoking the spirit of Tutankhamun, who has managed to find the lost tomb: Bayek first confronts the pharaoh and then kills the priestess, bringing peace to Thebes.
The Occult
Four years after the events narrated in the main campaign (and two after those of The Curse of the Pharaohs), the Order of the Occult is now a consolidated reality in Egypt. Bayek, who became mentor of the confraternity, is called by the adepts of the Sinai Peninsula where the Roman commander Rufio (current head of the Order of the Ancients) is sowing terror. The medjay, helped by the rebel leader Gamilat, explores the region and kills two Rufio lieutenants, discovering at the same time some important secrets and recruiting new levers for the confraternity. After killing the two subordinates, Bayek returns to the shelter of the Occult to plan the death of Rufio, but the place is attacked by the Romans: Tahira, one of the first adepts of the brotherhood, is killed and Bayek crucified. But the man is saved by Amunet, who helps him to reach the place where Rufio is hiding; along the way the two reflect on the fact that there is a traitor who has revealed to the Romans the hiding place of the Occult: they also come across a village attacked and burned by the Romans, apparently without reason. Bayek finally manages to reach and kill Rufio, but on his return Amunet tells him that the traitor is Gamilat: he leads a double game, pushing the Romans to attack the villages and at the same time fomenting the hatred against them by the Nabataeans, who see him more and more as a god and as the leader of the revolt. Bayek and Amunet do not want these values to overlap with those under which the brotherhood was born, so they decide to eliminate Gamilat: after a long and exhausting battle Bayek manages to kill him. At the point of death, the man understands his grave error, he redeems himself and pushes Bayek to continue the Occult mission. The Occult is decimated, but Bayek, shocked by what happened to Gamilat, decides to reconstitute it and to reach, through Petra, the territories of Judea, where the confraternity will re-establish itself under the new ideals of order and discipline. Amunet will do the same in Rome, where power is now in the hands of the new leader of the Ancients; the two are once again said to have suffered a farewell.
