Around 38 BCE, Kanika met a merchant north of Swenett to haggle for a papyrus belonging the late vizier Pentju, believing it contains clues to a relic. However, they were ambushed by bandits, which left Kanika unconscious and the merchant dead. Kanika was deemed responsible for the murder and held captive at the Swenett Outpost under Democedes.

Kanika requested Bayek to look for and recover the scroll, directing him to meet him near the Old Kingdom Excavation Site once he had done so.

After digging through the site, Kanika uncovered the artifact, revealed to be a pair of daggers belonging to the pharaoh Tutankhamun. Kanika entrusted Bayek with the pair of daggers, believing that he would keep it safe. He then proceed to leave for the Moon Curser Village, hoping to educate the smugglers there.
