Biography

Early life

During the 1st century BCE, Pasherenptah served as the High Priest of Ptah in Memphis. He met and married Taimhotep, the daughter of a noble family in the city. For many years, Pasherenptah and Taimhotep had hopes of having children to carry on their traditions and inherit the position.[1]

Trouble in Memphis

Apollodorus: "Ah, Pasherenptah! Meet Aya and Bayek. They put an early end to Eudoros."
Pasherenptah: "Delightful! You are joining our efforts, then?"
—Apollodorus introducing Pasherenptah to Aya and Bayek, 48 BCE[src]-[m]

Beginning in the mid-1st century BCE, Memphis became plagued with a serious of 'frauds' and 'curses', secretly initiated by Hetepi, who served under Pasherenptah as one of his priests. Pasherenptah's own house was not immune to ills and ailments that seemed to plague the city, for Taimhotep suffered various miscarriages, leading her to fear it would affect Pasherenptah's reputation. All this led Pasherenptah to seek the aid of the Pharaoh Cleopatra and her follower Apollodorus.[2]

Pasherenptah introduced to Aya and Bayek

In 48 BCE, Pasherenptah met with Apollodorus and Cleopatra in the former's estate in Kanopos Nome, where he was introduced to Aya of Alexandria and her husband, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa.

Pasherenptah explained that one of the members, the Lizard, had been consolidating power in Memphis, such that even the Apis Bull was affected. Pasherenptah and the group sought Bayek's help to eliminate the Order, which he accepted.[2]

True to his word, Pasherenptah was later sought out by Bayek after eliminating both the Scarab and the Hyena. After a brief argument with Taimhotep, Pasherenptah confided in Bayek on how bad things were and requested that he investigate various apparently unrelated incidences, discovering that they all had the Lizard at their root.[3]
