Biography[]
Andronikos Miskilis was born in Ptolemaic Egypt in 82 BC, and he was sent by Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII to serve as the Captain of Philadelphia in the Faiyum. Andronikos was corrupt, attempting to extort grain from the locals to fill his own pockets. In 48 BC, the local woman Khenut confronted him and threatened to inform his commander of his activities unless he ceased his strong-arming of the farmer Met-su-khons User-t. Khenut's associate, the medjay Bayek, followed the Captain into a grassy field and attacked him, and the locals soon joined Bayek in attacking the Captain and his unit. Bayek killed Andronikos with several arrows, and he found a fort insignia on his body.
