Medjay

The Medjay was an elite Egyptian military unit who acted as the ultimate sworn guardians of the Pharaoh and the nation. More than just a police force, at their peak, they were highly esteemed, perceived as the very symbol of true honor, courage, and duty. For this reason, their badge was the Eye of Horus, an emblem representing the protection of the Egyptian people.

History
The Medjay were originally established during the Old Kingdom period of Egypt.

By the time of the Ptolemaic dynasty, the role had faded away, with Bayek being the last Medjay and acting as a sheriff of sorts for his community.

Trivia
