Personal history
The first mention of the Medjay in written records dates back to the Old Kingdom, when they were listed among other Nubian peoples in the Autobiography of Weni, who was at the time a general serving under Pepi I Meryre. During this time the term "Medjay" referred to people from the land of Medja, a district thought to be located just east of the Second Nile Cataract in Nubia. Nubia was referred to as Ta-Seti, meaning "Land of the bow", by the Egyptians & the people there were renowned for their military skills, particularly as archers. A decree from Pepi I's reign, illustrates that Medja was at least to some extent subjugated by the Egyptian government. Since the time of Alan Gardiner, a common account has been that the Medjay constituted an ethnic group. More recent work suggests that the term was initially an Egyptian exonym, & that those identified as Medjay may not have considered themselves to have a shared ethnicity, & certainly were not a unified polity. Written accounts from the Middle Kingdom such as the Semna Despatches describe the Medjay as nomadic desert people. Egyptian sources are inconsistent in distinguishing between "Nehesy" people generally & Medjay until the latter portion of the Middle Kingdom. Senwosret III enacted a prohibition on Nehesy movement north of Semna, while the administration began making a distinction between these two categories of people. Liszka hypothesizes that this may have motivated people to take on "Medjay" as an ethnic identity.
Gender Identity
Because Bayek is an amalgamation of the various Medjay, they don't have one gender.
Employment
By the Eighteenth Dynasty during the New Kingdom, the Medjay were an elite paramilitary police force. As an elite force, the Medjay were often used to protect valuable areas, especially areas of pharaonic interest like capital cities, royal cemeteries, & the borders of Egypt. Though they are best known for their protection of the royal palaces & tombs in Thebes & the surrounding areas, the Medjay were used throughout Upper & Lower Egypt. They were also hired as soldiers & guards in the Kushite military as well as the Roman Egypt army. And during the Second Intermediate Period, they were even used during Kamose's campaign against the Hyksos & became instrumental in making the Egyptian state into a military power.
