Mera-hba-sahu of Akkhe

== History ==
Mera-hba-sahu was an older cousin of Pharaoh Akhenaten III, to whom he served as Grand Vizier, and a powerful sorcerer in his own right. At some point, he secretly had himself embalmed in order to attain undeath, a fact he hid from the priests. 
== Personality ==
Mera-hba-sahu craved power and scorned the gods; because he scorned the gods he feared death and would do anything to stave it off. Unlike his cousin who sought the Philosopher's Stone, Mera-hba-sahu put no stock in foreign legends and embraced undeath. Mera-hba-sahu only cares about the royal dynasty in the sense that he takes great pride in being a part of it, and sees Akkhe as his personal dominion, of which he is both a king and a living god. 
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
Mera-hba-sahu served his cousin loyally during the war, administering the capital while the Pharaoh commanded troops in battle in defense of the Great River. When Ashkethis fell under siege at the hands of the troops from the Final Empire, Mera-hba-sahu raised many undead and took to the battlefield, proving himself a sorcerer to be feared. After the wholesale destruction of Akkhe's civil infrastructure, Akhenaten had himself prematurely mummified and interred out of shame for his defeat. Mera-hba-sahu himself felt no shame, and as the most prominent living member of the royal dynasty, took the crown for himself. 
== After the War ==
Mera-hba-sahu fought many battles to secure his reign, and killed numerous rival members of the royal dynasty. He is loathed by many within the various priesthoods, but has total mastery over his largely undead subjects. He is content to dismiss the conquest of Aglazdere by Shangare as a spat between equally hated foreigners; he despises Aglazdere for abandoning Akkhe during the War of the Philosopher-Kings, but he knows that Kuldeep of Shangare is nothing more than a vile demon.
