!!Nebet/[[spoiler:Nefertiti]]

An Egyptian slave from 76 [=BCE=] encountered during the first case in Ancient Times. [[FishOutOfTemporalWater She later ends up sneaking onto the Temporal Crimes Division's time machine by accident]], [[TimeTravelEscape and without any way of sending her back to her own timezone, she joins the team as a partner]]. [[spoiler:In reality, Nebet is really Princess Nefertiti, the daughter of the Ptolemy Dynasty's rulers, who worked with Ammon Bast to sabotage the original timeline and help distract the team.]]

* [[spoiler:TheAtoner: Her 60 year old self kills both her younger self and Ammon in the final case, as the guilt of betraying the team and allowing the Ptolemy Dynasty to alter the timeline had boiled over her.]]
* [[spoiler:BackForTheDead: Returns as the victim in the final case of ''Travel In Time''.]]
* [[spoiler: ConnectedAllAlong: Nebet was the one responsible for causing the sabotage that stranded them in the past, enabling her to sneak onboard the ship and preventing them from returning to the present, sending them to the altered timeline instead.]]
* DamselInDistress: [[spoiler:Immediately captured and potentially held hostage the moment they arrived in the present. Subverted because [[EvilAllAlong the guards were actually escorting her back to her parents' palace]].]]
* [[spoiler:DefiantToTheEnd: Upon her arrest, she orders Amy to pin the blame on Resistance spy Ravi Jabari (who was tempted to kill Ramses XLIII, but decided not to go ahead with it), knowing that her mother would believe her word over theirs. Even when her mother sends her off for labour, she berates the team.]]
* [[spoiler:DidntThinkThisThrough: Nefertiti convinces her mother not to have the team executed immediately and orders Amy and the player to solve her father's murder, including giving the forensics team access to proper equipment. When she's charged as the killer, she tries to convince Amy to frame Ravi so she can pardon them, despite knowing that the team would never throw someone under the bus.]]
* DisappearedDad: Her father's death was how she became a slave. [[spoiler:Subverted upon going to New Cairo, where it's revealed that her parents, Ramses XLIII and Shabaka, are the rulers of the regime.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite having been her slave, Nebet is visibly upset when [[spoiler:Cleopatra is arrested and commits suicide in front of her]].
* [[spoiler:EvilAllAlong: Nebet was never a slave from 37 BCE, but a modern princess known as Nefertiti, and had been the one responsible for causing the sabotage.]]
* [[spoiler:EvilCannotComprehendGood: She fully believes that she'll be able to convince the team to frame Ravi for her father's murder, in exchange for pardoning them. Amy retorts by asking if she'd learned anything from being with them, because they would never throw an innocent person under the bus like that.]]
* [[spoiler:EvilCostumeSwitch: As Nefertiti, her outfit consists of a black strapless dress under an Usekh collar, cuffs, and a sun-shaped tiara. Her turquoise eyeshadow is also bolder and her golden EyeOfHorus marking has been removed.]]
* [[spoiler:FadingAway: In the end of Case 31 after killing her younger self to stop her from altering the future.]]
* [[spoiler:FauxAffablyEvil: Initially appears to be sweet, caring and rather naive, but once she gives up her identity, she's anything but.]]

* {{Foil}}: To Ravi Jabari. [[spoiler:Both are working as TheMole for an organization (Ravi for the Resistance, and Nebet/Nefertiti for the Ptolemy Dynasty), both are good at playing nice with the enemy to maintain their cover, both planned on killing Ramses XLIII at some point, and they both get called out by the team for their actions; however, that's where the similarities end. Ravi turns out to be loyal and trustworthy towards the team and Resistance, refusing to kill the pharaoh after thinking about the consequences, and showing remorse for his actions when he's called out by the team. Nefertiti, on the other hand, goes through with her plan to kill her father under the impression that her plan is foolproof, shows no remorse for anything she's done, even trying to deflect the blame in spite of knowing that the team has no trust in her, nor would they let someone else take the fall.]]

** [[spoiler:Nefertiti successfully fooled an experienced team into thinking she was a [[FishOutOfTemporalWater naive slave stuck in time]] while screwing their plans behind their backs. Even [[TheProfiler Marina]] wasn't able to detect anything suspicious about her.]]
* [[spoiler:HeelRealization: After being exiled by her mother, she learned how much of a mistake it was allowing the Ptolemy Dynasty to come into power, which prompted her to go back in time to stop her past self and Ammon from doing so.]]
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: She kills her past self to make sure the timeline never gets altered, causing herself to fade out of existence, but not before she gets a chance to say her goodbye and thanks to the player and Zara.]]
* [[spoiler:LackOfEmpathy: She shows no regret for betraying the team in her second suspect appearance, which Amy chews her out on. Upon being revealed as the killer of her own father, she doesn't even care for him, even trying to get the team to pin the murder on a Resistance spy.]]
* [[spoiler:ManipulativeBastard: While Ammon Bast sabotaged the timeline in order to send the Temporal Crimes Division to the Altered Present, Nefertiti faked being a FishOutOfTemporalWater and gained the teams trust so she could watch over the team and disrupt their travels through time.]]
* MeaningfulName: Her real name, [[spoiler:Nefertiti]], is inspired by the Egyptian pharoah of the same name. This is fitting with her being part of [[spoiler:the Ptolemy Dynasty's royal family.]]
* [[spoiler:MyFutureSelfAndMe: She goes back in time after being exiled by her mother to stop her younger self and Ammon from altering in the timeline in the first place. When neither of them listened, she resorts to killing them.]]
* [[spoiler:{{Patricide}}: Turns out to be the murderer of her own father, Ramses XLIII, in Case 20.]]
* RagsToRiches: [[spoiler:She and her family used to be poor before they altered the timeline to be as rich and powerful as they are now.]]
* [[spoiler:RedemptionEqualsDeath: Her immense guilt over betraying the Temporal Crimes Division and allowing the Ptolemy Dynasty to come into power leads to her future self killing her past self. As she [[FadingAway fades away from existence]], she apologies to Zara and the player and thanks them.]]
* [[spoiler:RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Banished from the palace and sent to hard labour at the end of Case 20 or murdering her own father. Ironically it was the very team she betrayed earlier that caught her out earlier.]]

** She also encourages Theo to talk to Zara about how he feels about her [[spoiler:after making a bet with Jack that he would talk to her]].
* [[spoiler:TheSociopath: A rather disturbing example. As Nebet, she is charming, innocuous, and helpful which she uses to lower Amy's suspicion of her so she can join the team. After the team is arrested, she is anything but - She shows no remorse for betraying them despite what they have done for her. She kills her own father when he attempts to reduce her power and hires the team to solve his murder, believing that she has the ability to convince them to frame an innocent man for her doings.]]
* SupremeChef: She helps cook for the team when they are stranded in time. She also has knowledge regarding herbs and ingredients.
* [[spoiler:ReassignedToAntarctica: After being charged for killing her father, her mother sentences her to forced labour on a volcanic island to teach her humility.]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Nebet is revealed to have never been a slave from 37 BCE, but a modern princess known as Nefertiti.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:After the Altered Present, it's hard to talk about Nebet without mentioning that she's this season's traitor and secondary BigBad, the killer of her own father, ''and'' her 60 year old self being the final killer of the season.]]
* [[spoiler:WoundedGazelleGambit: She faints inside a sarcophagus to avoid being buried with Julius Caesar and manages to persuade the team into burying Caesar without her, which gives her the opportunity to sneak onto the time machine and mess around with the team.]]
