The Heron Assassination

The Heron Assassination was a virtual representation of one of Bayek's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2017 through the Portable Animus HR-8.
==Description==
Bayek confronted his first target Rudjek, also known as "The Heron", at the Bent Pyramid and started his quest for vengeance.
==Dialogue==
In 49 BCE, Bayek and his wife Aya were among the residents of Siwa busy arranging for the festivities in preparation for Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII's arrival, who locked eyes sternly with Bayek. A year later, at the Bent Pyramid, Bayek confronted a man named Rudjek.
*Rudjek: You are the Medjay from Siwa? I thought Medjays were supposed to protect the pharaoh?
Bayek took out an arrow lodged in his side.
*Bayek: I am Medjay to no pharaoh. You see this?
Bayek showed a tattoo with the names of his targets, and crossed out Rudjek's name with the arrow.
*Rudjek: I can read my own name, nek! (Shit!) We will find you. We will find you, in your sleep!
Rudjek threw a knife at Bayek, who blocked it with Rudjek's mask.
*Bayek: Sleep? I never sleep. I just wait. In the shadows. And I will kill you all. Everyone who sniffed the air that day in Siwa.
Bayek thrust the mask with the knife into Rudjek's face, killing him.
==Outcome==
Bayek assassinated his first target, Rudjek.
==Behind the scenes==
The memory's name is given in the Assassin's Creed Origins: Official Game Guide.
