* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler:Though he is the protagonist for the majority of the game, after his assembly of the Brotherhood, the story shifts toward Aya, given she is more intent on a wider sweeping goal than Bayek\'s \"keep Egypt, and only Egypt safe from tyrants\" approach. In fact, he seems opposed to the idea of spreading influence through foreign channels, leading to [[LoveCannotOvercome his separation from Aya]].]]
While I do agree Aya has the lions\' share of the decisions that shape the Assassins historically, the story is without a doubt Bayek\'s. It\'s Bayek who kills the majority of the order. It\'s Bayek who brings togheter the assassins, and it\'s Bayek whom the assassins emulate, cutting their finger in a sign of belief in his cause. And while he doesn\'t form the idea of the assassins as a grander cause as fast Aya does, he still goes on board VERY rapidly and does help form the creed. It\'s Bayek who constantly warns Aya that she cannot put her trust in rulers to make the world a better place. And perhaps more importantly, most the main plot is Bayek\'s story of how he deals with his grief over his son, learns to let it go and turn it into something grander. It\'s why Khemu features in both the first major post-assassination sequence the player does, and the last one with Flavius, where Bayek has to give up his grief and rage and Khemu symbolically leaves him.
Aya and Bayek certainly are Deuteragonists, but Bayek isn\'t a Decoy Protagonist.
