'''Paser I''' was the [[Viceroy of Kush]] during the reigns of [[Ay (pharaoh)|Ay]] and likely [[Horemheb]]. Reisner mentions that the only datable inscriptions for Paser belong to the reign of [[Ay (pharaoh)|Ay]]. The next known Viceroy however is [[Amenemopet (Viceroy of Kush)|Amenemopet]], who is dated to the reign of [[Seti I]]. Hence it's possible that Paser I served during the reigns of Ay, Horemheb (and maybe even [[Ramesses I]]?).<ref name="Reisner">The Viceroys of Ethiopia by George A. Reisner The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, Vol. 6, No. 1. (Jan., 1920), pp. 38-39.</ref>

Paser was the son of the Viceroy [[Amenhotep called Huy]], who served during the reign of [[Tutankhamun]]. His mother was the Lady [[Taemwadjsy]].<ref>Porter, B. and Moss R.L.B., Topographical Bibliography of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic Texts, Reliefs and Paintings: The Theban Necropolis, Part One: Private Tombs.
