Iphri speaking to Bayek
Iphri was an Egyptian street urchin who lived in the House of Nef in Memphis during the 1st century BCE. He was one of the children Nef had taken under his wing, and as such, a 'brother' to Kawit and Matia.

- Iphri: "I don't work for them! This mean old lady locked up a bunch of us kids. She makes us steal for her."
- Bayek: "Locked up?"
- Iphri: "Yeah. My sister was going to save us, and she said to meet her in the shipyard by the river, but she never came! Will you look for her? I'll steal you an apple..."
- —Iphri asking Bayek for help, 48 BCE.[src]-[m]
In 48 BCE, a wealthy Roman woman named Gaia Afrania sought to kidnap children living on the streets to be sold into slavery for her client in Alexandria. When Matia was one of the children kidnapped, Kawit asked Iphri to meet her at the shipyard where the children were held.[1]
When Kawit failed to appear, Iphri was forced to work for Gaia's bandits, helping them to steal. By chance on one occasion, Iphri came across the Medjay Bayek of Siwa. Intending to seek his help, Iphri stole from a merchant and led Bayek to the den where the bandits were waiting in. After Bayek had eliminated the bandits, Iphri revealed his plight to the Medjay, asking for his help to investigate.[1]
Later on, once Bayek had freed both Matia and Kawit, Iphri appeared, revealing that he had been following Bayek the whole time. Later on, Kawit tasked him to bring Matia back home.[1]
