## Biography

### Early Life

Alukah Ankhaf was born on Pashons 21, 3998, to Jedrick Ankhaf and a mysterious woman. His father began an ill-fated relationship with a woman he knew as "Sandal" that developed very quickly, leaving her pregnant. During the pregnancy, Sandal showed her disapproval of their unborn baby, even considering abortion, but Jedrick convinced her not to and to become a family. Sandal got ill on the months before birth, but doctors found no problem. When Alukah was born in Per-Ankhaf, Khalem, night came and Renenutet and the Seven Hathors appeared in Jedrick's dreams, but only Jedrick. Sandal was strangely not present in the dream. Renenutet claimed him as the Setepnetjer of Anubis, god of funerals, mummification and the dead, named him Alukah as for "Prince of Hell" and gave him the Anubis amulet. The Seven Hathors foretold that his destiny would be entangled to that of a divine sword, and that he would be one of the most powerful and important Setepnetjeru in the Arising for the survival of humankind.

When Jedrick woke up, Sandal was not in the bed. Jedrick looked for her everywhere, waking up everyone in the house. Hours passed and she never appeared, but Jedrick's car was also missing. They called the police and the next morning they found Jedrick's car parked in an alley not too far from Hamunaptra. Sandal was not there, but she left a letter to Jedrick in the front seat. The cops gave Jedrick the letter, and after reading it, he locked himself in his room alongside baby Alukah for more than a day. Monique was the one to convince him to open the door. Jedrick destroyed the letter, telling everyone she had left him and their son, as said the police's statement on why they decided to cut off the disappearance investigation. Plus, they did not find any information about Sandal, like she never really existed. According to Hector and Monique, Sandal was most likely a Syenish spy who sabotaged her mission by getting pregnant, and after giving birth she decided to abandon the mission completely.

It was hard for Jedrick to raise his son without a mother, but he was able to, and got special help from Monique along the way.

Alukah grew up in Per-Ankhaf, and since childhood, he sometimes caught glimpses of people walking in the rooms and hallways that were never really there. He even spoke to many of them. This alarmed Jedrick, but Hector attributed it to his Setenenanubis identity. In fact, the first ghost or *sheut* that Alukah remembered seeing was that of a mysterious woman who observed him in the distance. Alukah saw her in many places many times across his childhood , making him believe it was the ghost of his mother. Although, as he started growing, Alukah saw less and less ghosts of his Ankhaf ancestors or in general.

### Resentment and Recent Years

But Alukah grew up with an emptiness left by his mother abandoning him, which did not define him, but certainly did not give in an entirely happy life. The curiosity grew as he did and so did resentment towards his father for acting as if she never existed. That resentment became more present when, in 4005, Jedrick married Arielle Moore, a Medjay woman 14 years younger than him that was also a Setepnetjeret, even though she and Alukah got along well. They later gave him two twin step-brothers, Kristopher and Aleixo Ankhaf. Alukah felt like Jedrick did not like his life with him and so he tried to replace him with a new better and more stable family. Alukah saw Monique more as his mother figure, but started to distance himself from her feeling like he was stealing her from her own children. Although with time, he has matured, that idea was kept in his mind, which makes his relationship with his father troubled. Alukah also never gave up looking for answers about his mother.

He attended school, graduated, and decided not to study right away because he was not sure what he wanted to become. Instead, he did a series of internships. The ones who he liked the most were, ironically, in funeral homes. He then decided to become a funeral director. What he liked the most about it, was giving people the opportunity to celebrate and say goodbye to their loved ones, something he could never do with his mother.

Since 4019, Alukah meets Adrik Vibentis on the woods in the back of Hamunaptra to smoke a couple of joints, to give himself a little distraction.
