The Egyptian Guard, led by Captain Hyksos and overseen by Tuthmos, plays a critical role in this event as the unseen third faction. Tuthmos’s surveillance of the Doctor’s group from the Great Pyramid and his subsequent report to Hyksos set in motion the Egyptians’ intervention. This organization represents the local authority in ancient Egypt, tasked with safeguarding the Pharaoh’s treasures and maintaining order. Their involvement introduces a new layer of danger to the Doctor’s already precarious situation, as they are poised to capture the group for their suspicious activities.
