Foreign God

**이국신은/"Foreign God" ("FG")/Nameless/Beard/Mustache/Exotic**, is a mysterious non-Egyptian god who meddles in Egypt's affairs and Seth's life. His true name is currently unknown.

## Appearance

FG has light brown skin, long, wavy brown hair, a short, thin, dark beard, and light brown eyes. He is also muscular and taller than Seth. In his god form, he dresses like a Greek or Roman soldier, and wears a long, reddish-brown cape held on with a large golden pin over his right shoulder, and golden wrist cuffs and armlets on both arms. He does not wear shoes. Underneath his cloak is a short white skirt. He wears what appears to be golden Greek or Roman soldier greaves over both his calves.

When FG travels with the caravans, he wears a white cloak with a hood and a raisable mouth cover. Over his legs he wears a long tan skirt, with a long red belt. He wears a large golden usekh or wesekh with turquoise and blue jewels or beads around his neck. He also wears square golden earrings in both ears, with large round purple jewels or beads in the center, and golden bracelets with blue jewels or beads on both wrists. He wears two golden rings on his left hand, with one on his thumb, and one on his middle finger. Sometimes he wears his hair tied back in a bun, and a short white skirt.

At certain points in the story, seemingly when he's using his powers or angry, his eyes glow gold.

## Personality

FG has a playful personality, and seems to roam where his whims take him. He's also territorial, and steps between potential rivals - namely Horus - when they encroach on FG's targets (e.g., Seth). He is also patronizing, particularly concerning how odd he finds Egyptian culture in comparison to his own. He doesn't respect boundaries and is relentless when he wants something (e.g., Seth), and is often manipulative. He doesn't tolerate people he doesn't view as pretty.

## Life

Isis makes a contract with FG and his army to attack Seth and help destroy Egypt if the trial is not successful in unseating Seth. FG arrives in Egypt with a navy during the third match. Maat intervenes and tells FG to leave. FG orders his troops to withdraw, and they head home without him. When FG starts to head towards the battle between Seth and Horus in order to spectate, Maat stops him, and tells him again to leave. When FG insists he wants to visit Isis, at least, Maat repeats her order for him to leave. FG makes an oath to "never interfere with the affairs of Egypt", which Maat has him sign a contract for. Maat promises "to tell him how to gain power in exchange for cutting ties with Isis." She also notes that Isis doesn't have the power to grant what FG seeks, and that Egypt is currently weak, with only the desert to guard it from foreign invasion. She notes that FG has a destiny, and offers to guide him towards his heart's desire if he breaks his contract with Isis. FG agrees.

FG attends Seth's sentencing, and takes interest in Seth upon seeing Seth without his headdress.

FG joins up with the caravans. At some point, he steals Isis' medicine. He eventually runs into Seth again, and becomes a sort of right-hand servant for him, helping Seth maintain the facade that Seth is still a god, and letting him know about certain goings-on in the caravans. When Horus sends a bird to watch over Seth, particularly to protect him from FG, FG eventually kills the bird, which allows Anubis and his jackals to attack Seth. When Anubis prepares to kill Seth and/or drag him down to Duat, while Seth faints, FG steps in to stop Anubis. FG uses up most/all of the medicine healing Seth's wounds.

Seth has FG find mercenaries - seemingly composed of those who want revenge against the caravans - to attack and destroy the caravans, while Seth confronts Kuentamen. FG later rejoins Seth, and discovers him with Horus. FG and Horus fight and argue over Seth, and ultimately, Horus uses his wind powers to throw FG far away.

FG reappears at the slave auction where Seth is being displayed for sale. He purchases Seth and feeds him the last of Isis' medicine to heal him of the slaver drugs, and possibly Seth's fever. He tells Seth that they have to engage in intercourse to cure what's wrong with Seth, and they spend some time together. FG then offers to take Seth to FG's home, and says that he'd go to war with Egypt on Seth's behalf, which Seth is infuriated by. FG ties Seth up again and departs for the Moon Temple to see Maat and Thoth, with Seth and a caravan of his own. When Seth notices Horus searching above, Seth alerts Horus to his presence, causing Horus to attack the caravan and help rescue Seth. Horus sends FG flying off again.

## Powers

He is very physically strong and agile, and can move extremely quickly. He's also very resilient, and can withstand a lot of damage.

## Relationships

### Horus

FG is patronizing towards Horus, and frequently steps in to Horus' interactions with Seth to try and keep Horus at a distance from Seth. Horus hates FG, and sees him as a danger to Seth and a thief. FG also notes that if it weren't for the contract he signed with Maat, he would have killed Horus already.

### Isis

Isis seemingly views FG as a necessary evil and an annoyance. FG appears to find Isis interesting, particularly in her ability to use powerful lightning magic, and seems to enjoy toying with her, though he focuses more on Seth after seeing Seth's face.

### Maat

Maat thinks that FG wants power and influence.

### Seth

FG lusts after Seth, and Seth disdains him. Although Seth finds FG useful at times, and treats him as a cautious ally/servant, Seth finds FG's attachment to him creepy, and faints when he realizes some of the lengths FG will go to in order to sleep with him. FG happily manipulates Seth in order to remain close to him, and even sleep with him. FG has repeatedly demonstrated he will go to great lengths to keep Seth as his sex toy.
