Database: Apollodorus of Sicily

Egypt's Adopted Son
Apollodorus of Sicily came to the court of the thirteenth Ptolemy in Alexandria as a young man. There, he quickly formed a bond of friendship with the Pharaoh’s elder sister, Cleopatra. Apollodorus eventually learned that Ptolemy was under the influence of a cult called the Order of the Ancients, who had fostered fear and jealousy of Cleopatra in the Pharaoh’s heart. Apollodorus ushered Cleopatra out of Alexandria and into hiding in order to protect her from her brother’s wrath.
The Sicilian set about building a vast network of spies and informants throughout Egypt, which he used to keep tabs on the Order of the Ancients. Upon his eventual return to Alexandria, Apollodorus made the acquaintance of Aya, and the two worked together to topple the Order. He would aid her and her husband, Bayek of Siwa, in their quest for revenge on many occasions and would remain loyal to them even when Cleopatra turned to the Order of the Ancients’ side.
Apollodorus was a shrewd courtier and brilliant strategist who could navigate and manipulate the apparatuses of rulership. Though he preferred to work behind the scenes, he was no coward, and had been well trained in the use of arms.
