Rudjek (82 or 81 BCE – 48 BCE), also known as the Heron, was the nomarch of the Saqqara Nome under the reign of Ptolemy XIII and a member of the Order of the Ancients.
In his quest to access the Isu vault in Siwa, he became one of five in the Order directly responsible for the death of Khemu, son of the Medjay Bayek, in 49 BCE. The following year, he was tracked down by Bayek and slain in the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu as the first target in the Medjay's path of vengeance.
Biography
Bearing the cryptonym the Heron, Rudjek served as a member of the Order of the Ancients, a secret organization in Egypt whose goal was to impose a New World Order where they dominated the world and steered it in their vision. To that end, Rudjek, alongside Flavius Metellus, Lucius Septimius, Pothinus, and Medunamun, hoped to unlock the secrets of the Isu vault underneath the Temple of Amun in Siwa. There they gathered in 49 BCE with an Apple of Eden, but unable to find the means to open the gate to the vault, they concluded that their best lead would be the local Medjay Bayek.[1]
By exploiting the young village boy Chenzira, the Order were able to locate Bayek at Halma Point and capture him and his son Khemu. That night, Khemu and Bayek were brought to the Order in front of the vault, where Rudjek insisted to the latter that, as Medjay, a sacred guardian of Egypt's people and heritage, he must have some knowledge as to how to access the vault. His assumption was false, and in the altercation that followed, where Bayek broke free from his bounds, Khemu was killed.[1]
Hunted
The following year saw Rudjek pursued by a grief-stricken and vengeful Bayek. It was at the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu that the Heron met his doom. Trapped within his chambers with his sworn bodyguard Hypatos incapacitated, Rudjek trembled before his adversary but made one last attempt to reverse the situation by hurling a throwing knife at Bayek's head. Though sudden and swift, the Medjay intercepted it with the eye hole of the Heron's mask that he held in his hand. With no options left, the Heron could only gaze in horror before Bayek furiously slammed his mask back into his face—the knife still embedded within it skewering his eye and into his brain.[2]
Legacy
After his death, Rudjek's body was found by his mistress Suphia who laid him to rest and buried him in a sarcophagus in the pyramid.[3] Both Suphia and his bodyguard Hypatos, who survived his injuries, would go on to plot their revenge against Bayek in their own way.[2][3] The latter tracked the Medjay for months until finally confronting him above an Old Kingdom tomb in the outskirts of Siwa, only to fall to his blades as well.[2] Suphia would meet a similar fate when her plan to infiltrate the rebels in Saqqaraand lead them into an ambush by Ptolemy's soldiers failed to kill Bayek.[3]
