The Phylakes were an elite Greco-Roman paramilitary force who served as bounty hunters for Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII during the final years of the Ptolemaic Kingdom.[1] In 48 BCE, they were given orders to hunt the Medjay Bayek of Siwa after he assassinated Alexandria's Phylakitai Gennadios.[2] With the exception of the elderly retired woman Abar, each member patrolled separate regions of Egypt throughout the Alexandrine war until Bayek slew them.[3]

- Phylakes is the plural of Ancient Greek φύλαξ (phylax), meaning 'watcher, guard, sentinel'.
- Most Phylakes are shown to be using the same fighting animations as Bayek with their respective weapon, the exceptions being the Bane of Hathor and Half Horn who use NPC Archer animations and the Galatian who behaves like an enemy Captain.
