Medunamun

"Siwa is mine!"

- Medunamun to Bayek.

Medunamun (104 or 103 BCE – 48 BCE), also known as the Ibis, was a member of the Order of the Ancients appointed by Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII to serve as the Oracle of Amun in Siwa, Egypt in 49 BCE. Since the true purpose of his tenure was for Ptolemy to consolidate his hold over the remote, dissident town, Medunamun was derided as a false oracle by his enemies such as the Medjay Bayek.

Under his rule, the villagers of Siwa were subjected to extortion, arbitrary detention, and rampant atrocities. Protests were met by violent reprisals often against an entire family, with whole neighborhoods being razed to the ground. For his part, Medunamun was loyal not to his pharaoh but to his Order, which furiously sought to unlock the Isu vault that lay underneath the Temple of Amun. The Ibis thus played a key role in the death of Bayek's son Khemu in 49 BCE during a botched interrogation of the Medjay. For his complicity in Khemu's demise and his abuses of power in Siwa, Medunamun was assassinated by Bayek in 48 BCE.
