| “ | Bayek, Caesar has been assassinated. Septimius is also dead. I have founded a bureau in the middle of Rome, yet no one knows of our existence. Like Amun, we are... the Hidden Ones. |

| ~ Aya to Bayek in her letter, discarding her former identity for a new one, Amunet, as she becomes a Hidden One |
Summary
Amunet (born c. 85 BCE), born Aya of Alexandria, was the Greco-Egyptian co-founder of the Hidden Ones and by extension, the Assassin Brotherhood alongside her husband, the Medjay Bayek. Through Elpidios, Aya was the descendant of both Darius, the creator of the Hidden Blade, and the Misthios Kassandra.
Prior to establishing the Hidden Ones, Aya served as an agent of Cleopatra VII during Cleopatra's war for the throne of Egypt. Simultaneously, she sought to avenge the death of her son Khemu at the hands of the Order of the Ancients, and in 48 BCE, she killed two of their members, Actaeon and Ktesos, in Alexandria while Bayek hunted the rest.
Aya was initially a loyal retainer with high hopes for the young queen, playing a pivotal role in the Alexandrine Civil War, but in the aftermath of the Battle of the Nile, Cleopatra and her newfound Roman ally Gaius Julius Caesar joined with the Order and protected Lucius Septimius, one of their remaining members. Released from service yet feeling betrayed, Aya and Bayek founded the Hidden Ones to resume the fight against the Order, with the former resolving to establish a Roman branch at the expense of her marriage.
On 15 March 44 BCE, this culminated in Aya slaying Septimius in personal combat and leading the assassination of Julius Caesar. Fourteen years later, having adopted the name Amunet, she convinced Cleopatra to commit suicide in the face of imminent defeat against Octavian, promising to take her son Caesarion into the Hidden Ones. For this deed, she went down in Assassin history as the legendary Egyptian Assassin who killed Cleopatra with an asp.

Traded blows with The Guardian, who could easily destroy marble pillars with a single blow from his hammer, and against an Artifact-amped Lucius Septimius, who could easily create massive craters in the ground with his strikes and was now on par with the Isu, with base Septimius managing to go toe-to-toe against Bayek on his lonesome. In the Origins comic, killed a gigantic hippopotamus with only a stone fragment created by the hippo biting into a pillar by hitting it three times while underwater, wounded and tied up.

Kept up with an Artifact-amped Lucius Septimius, and eventually overwhelmed him. Is capable of moving so fast that even peak-level soldiers view her as completely invisible, with said soldiers being also able to view high-speed arrows as slow enough to simply walk away from. Effortlessly blitzed Caesarion before he could even writhe in pain and had already reached deep into Cleopatra's palace, creating several gigantic water spirals as a result, appearing completely invisible to everyone else's eyes. Should be comparable to her ancestors Darius and Kassandra, who can both dodge and roll away from attacks from various Pieces of Eden) with Superhuman swimming speed (Can easily outpace crocodiles and hippos while underwater), higher with Rage Mode, Dash Boost and the Elite Ranger Skill (Equal to Bayek)

Stamina: Extremely High (Can continue sprinting with ease even after being heavily injured and can keep sprinting countrywide distances in the intense desert heat non-stop. Can survive being stabbed repeatedly and still manage to blitz and slaughter entire garrisons of Roman fortresses without issue. Even when entering her early 60s, Amunet was still vigorously active as an Assassin)

Standard Equipment: Hidden Blade, dual short swords, fire bombs, poison darts, Apple of Eden (Although she only held it temporarily), swords, bows, axes, spears, maces, warhammers, khopesh, scepters, shields (although she later discards several of them save for her knive sets, bows and Hidden Blade)
Intelligence: Gifted. In her youth, Aya received elite combat and acrobatic training as well as chose to dress in a manner that fit these activities. She carried two twin blades as well as a shield and bow. She could easily hold her own against a few Roman legions and even defeat Lucius Septimius in a one-on-one battle, with Septimius having the advantage of utilizing an unknown Piece of Eden in the battle.
Aya was a master mariner by her third trip to sea with the ability to avoid all potential problems including the massive problem of the various rocky outcrops that could have sunk her ship. She was able to sink an entire fleet of enemy warships with only a single ship and act as the commander on said ship. She was well versed in all weapons and poisons as she used an asp to kill Cleopatra. On the battlefield Aya acted as a second in command shouting instruction to her men while Bayek acted as the leader.
Her skill with stealth was legendary, being able to avoid Ptolemy's police for well over a year. She also was able to sneak into a fully-guarded palace to kill Cleopatra without attracting anyone's attention, which no one else had been able to do.
Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses, but has survived situations which would kill most peak-level humans.
