* {{Foil}}: To Ravi Jabari. 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.
