Bayek is the protagonist of "Assassin's Creed: Origins," a character significant not only to this upcoming game but to the franchise as a whole.

The story of this ancient figure dates back to ages ago, to the time when the Assassin's Brotherhood was not even an entity.

As developers detailed previously, it is Bayek's own story that eventually led to the creation of the Assassin's Brotherhood.

Bayek differs in many ways from the other protagonists who have starred previously in this video game franchise.

For one, Bayek is older than the typical "Assassin's Creed" protagonist.

Speaking recently to IGN, creative director Jean Guesdon shared that Bayek is in his 30s when players catch up to him, and that will likely make a big difference in terms of how he will act inside the game. Since Bayek is on the older side, he is already experienced and wise to the ways to the world as opposed to someone still trying to get an idea of what is going on.
