Isis

Aset, or Iset, better known by her Greek name Isis, was an Isu who was later deified in the Egyptian pantheon. She was regarded as the goddess of maternity, wifely mourning, of kingship and protection of the kingdom, magic and wisdom, the sky, and the universe.
==Biography==
During her lifetime, Isis was known to have been in possession of the Ankh and the Scepter, two Pieces of Eden. According to legend, Isis used the Ankh to protect the Egyptian pharaohs from harm. When her partner Osiris was murdered by his brother Seth, Isis was overwhelmed by pain and grief.Assassin's Creed 3: Accipiter
She then used the Ankh to revive him, but it only brought Osiris back for one night. Using the opportunity, they consummated their love that night, leading to the conception of their son, Horus.
