Nitokris

Nitokris was the God's Wife of Amun in Karnak who lived during the 1st century BCE. She was the mother of Isidora, who assumed her position after her death at the hands of tomb robbers.
==Biography==
During the 1st century BCE, Nitokris served as the latest God's Wife of Amun in the temple of Karnak in Thebes. In 70 BCE, Nitokris met a 15-year-old Bayek and Aya, the former being the son of the Medjay Sabu. Bayek and Aya had came to Thebes in search of Sabu and hoped Nitokris may have had information about the Medjay's whereabouts. Instead, Nitokris directed them to the location of a Nubian tribe including Bayek's friend Kensa in the city, suggesting that she may have the information they seek. After Bayek's subsequent meeting with Kensa, he returned to Nitokris at the temple, having fully realized the importance of the Medjay role he was training to inherit.Assassin's Creed Origins: Desert Oath

Determined to end the desecration, Nitokris sought to conduct an ancient Ma'at ritual to deter the tomb robbers, visiting the Necropolis of the Nobles in the Theban Necropolis for more information.Assassin's Creed: Origins – The Curse of the Pharaohs However, her attempt was discovered by a group of tomb robbers, who had her murdered.Assassin's Creed: Origins – The Curse of the Pharaohs – Blood in the Water
