However, Bayek would eventually give up his Medjay title, deciding to instead form the Hidden Ones, the precursors to the Assassin Order. Eventually, his reputation grew to the point where Cleopatra granted him the title of Egypt's Medjay, and gave him a golden badge of Horus. The latest fighter to join the game’s ever-growing roster will be unveiled during an upcoming Warrior’s Den stream. With most of the Medjays dying out over time, Bayek quickly became one of the last living Medjays in Egypt, and he quickly became known as the protector of its people. Ubisoft is preparing to reveal a new For Honor hero this week. For Honor’s Associate Narrative Director Elise Trinh and Game Writer Ian Cardona sat down with us to share insights into the inspiration behind The Pirate, her backstory, and how she fits into the For Honor. Quite a bit of Assassin's Creed Origins' plot centers around the Medjay bloodline, with the elite warriors passing on their duties to their next of kin. Representing a new class of Heroes, The Pirate is an adventurer seeking treasure and artifacts in Heathmoor, an outsider among factions. Being the best of the best, naturally, only a few Medjay were allowed to serve at any one time, one of which is Assassin's Creed Origins' protagonist, Bayek. In both real-world history and in the world of Assassin's Creed, the Medjay were essentially the face of the Egyptian military during the New Kingdom's Eighteenth Dynasty, and were considered to be among the highest ranking members of society, being tasked with protecting the Pharaoh's interests and royal grounds.
