Name: Akhomet
Born: November 26, 1370 BCE; Thebes, Egypt
Died: February 16, 1290 BCE; Thebes, Egypt (age 79)
Allegiance: Assassins

Bio: Akhomet was born the eldest daughter of a Priest of Amun in the city of Thebes when Egypt lived under the rule of the pharaoh Amenhotep III. The pharaoh’s reign was famous as one which brought Egypt into an economic and artistic boom that many citizens of the kingdom, including Akhomet and her family, rather enjoyed. She lived the high life, her father being close to the pharaoh and the palace staff, and she often found herself roaming around the royal grounds during her father's visits. By 1351 BCE, it seemed Amenhotep was about to pass away and leave the crown to his son, Thutmose. However, a conspiracy seemed to begin to unveil itself. While on one of her palace visits, Akhomet caught a glimpse of men in dark robes and masks stabbing the young prince to death, conveniently just before the king died. Akhomet was shaken to the core by the sight and the only person she ever told was her father, who seemed to know more than he was letting on. After days of questioning him, he revealed that the masked men were of the Order of Ancients, known today as the Templars, men set on taking over Egypt by helping the late king’s other son, Amenhotep IV, take the throne. Her father also told her that he himself was of a Brotherhood now called the Assassins, who sought to keep the world's people free from evil and tyranny. He offered Akhomet a place in this conspiracy, and after a few weeks of thinking it over, she joined.

Amenhotep IV was hardly as charming or generous as his father was. He was arrogant and showed that he had more concerns for his own well being than that of Egypt's. He worshipped the god Aten, and wasn't entirely tolerant with those who worshipped the rest of the pantheon as well. He especially did not like the Priests of Amun, from whom the Templars sought to usurp power from. In 1347 BCE, they arranged a trap where the High Priest of Amun, Maya, would be killed after returning from an expedition to Wadi Hammamat. The two commanding officers of the troops that escorted him, Ry and Amenmose, were secretly Templar agents who assassinated him on his way back to Thebes. Akhomet tried to prevent this, but failed and ultimately killed the two Templars in retaliation. However, she discovered that they had stolen an ancient artifact from Maya and passed it on to the Pharaoh, who viewed this “Apple of Eden” as the Aten itself, and he used it to rule over Egypt with an iron fist.

As the years went on, Amenhotep IV seemed to grow more and more mad and more and more tyrannical. In 1346 BC, he changed his name to Akhenaten and built a new capitol city which bore the same name. He banned the priests of any gods beside Aten and cut funding for religious projects not pertaining to Aten. Four years later he began to declare that Aten was not only the supreme god, but the only worshipable god, and that he himself was the only intermediary between Aten and the Egyptian citizens. The Order of Ancients basked in their puppet’s power, while Akhomet did everything she could to try and end his regime and set Egypt free. She and her fellow Assassins helped protect those who were forced to worship their gods in secret, and tried to stop temples of traditional gods from being defaced from Akhenaten’s soldiers. Eventually, the king’s reign ended with him when Akhomet assassinated him in 1334 BCE. She killed the Order’s founder, Akhenaten’s successor Smenkhkare, that same year.

The Priests of Amun began to take back influence and restore traditional Egyptian culture. The Cult of Aten and the Order that influenced them were driven underground and their work was erased. Akhenaten’s son Tutankhaten (who changed his name to Tutankhamun) eventually became pharaoh in 1332 BCE, and he undid all of his father's evil work. His mother Nefertiti passed the Apple into his hands thinking he would use it to carry on the Cult of Aten, but instead young King Tut passed it into the hands of the Priests of Amun, deciding it was better guarded by the Assassins than used by the Order of Ancients. This heavily displeased the Order, but at this point there was nothing they could do. Akhomet assassinated Nefertiti in 1330 BC, ending the last thread of royalty the Order had and thus much of their influence as well.
Not long after, she began to receive gifts and notes from a secret admirer. Curious and flattered, she waited one night until a masked man came to her doorstep and she caught him. He refused to stay, saying they couldn't be together for reasons unknown, but she convinced him to stay for one fun night before he vanished again. Nine months later, her son was born. She named him Horebaten, "the destroyer of Aten".

The Order of Ancients tried to strike back when they sent their agent Djedefre to kill King Tut in a “chariot accident”, in 1323 BCE, but Akhomet assassinated him in retaliation soon after, and their ally Ay was put on the throne, further destroying the Order’s influence. Akhomet had recognized Djedefre's voice as he told her his final words, and she was shocked and heartbroken to discover that he was her secret admirer from that special night. Her king was avenged, but her heart was very heavy that night.
Everyone involved with the Atenist Heresy was erased from the records by future pharaohs who came and usurped the dynasty of Akhenaten, and the Assassins oversaw the reigns of the kings that they had fought to support. Akhomet herself dedicated her time to being a guardian of Egypt and all its cultures. She later helped a Hebrew religious leader named Moses, who wielded a Staff of Eden, lead his enslaved people out of Egypt and into the land which their god had promised them. Akhomet remained in Egypt, despite the efforts of Moses to convince her to stay with them, and she ultimately passed away in 1290 BC, during the reign of Ramesses I. She was mummified by her fellow Assassins and sealed in a special tomb on the outskirts of Thebes.

She is an ancestor of Ava Arlie.
