King Ramses II

King Ramses II, also known as Ramses The Great, is the 3rd Pharaoh of Egypt's 19th dynasty. He is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom, itself the most powerful and prosperous period of Ancient Egypt. But this prosperity came at a great cost, one perhaps too grim...

## History

### Early Life

At fourteen, Ramses II was appointed prince regent by his father, Seti I. He is believed to have taken the throne in his late teens and is known to have ruled Egypt from 1279 to 1213 BC.
When he heard word of beings in the Kingdom of Helmitki Kunin wearing magical jewelry that granted them amazing abilities, king Ramses ordered the most gifted of magicians in his kingdom to replicate what the Helmitki Kunins were doing. To this end, they constructed and forged a magical Ankh necklace, imbued with dark magic and other sorcery. The magicians told the king that as long as he wore the necklace, he would have immortality, but at a small cost: his humanity. Ramses II, however, was not concerned by such things.
Using his new magical powers, Ramses II led several military expeditions into the Levant, reasserting Egyptian control over Canaan. He also led expeditions to the south, into Nubia, commemorated in inscriptions at Beit el-Wali and Gerf Hussein. In the words of Ramses himself...

*At dawn I marshaled the ranks for battle,*
*I was ready to fight like an eager bull;*
*I arose against them in the likeness of Mont,*
*Equipped with my weapons of victory.*
*I charged their ranks fighting as a falcon pounces,*
*The serpent on my brow felled my foes,*
*Cast her fiery breath in my enemies' faces,*
*I was like Re when he rises at dawn.*
*My rays, they burned the rebels' bodies,*
*They called out to one another: 'Beware, take care, don't approach him. Anyone who goes to approach him, Fire's breath comes to burn his body!'*
*Thereupon they stood at a distance, touching the ground with their hands before me.*
*My majesty overpowered them,*
*I slew them without sparing them;*
*They sprawled before my horses,*
*And lay slain in heaps in their blood.*

The early part of his reign was focused on building cities, temples, and monuments. He established the city of Pi-Ramesses in the Nile Deltas, his new capital, and used it as the main base for his campaigns in Syria.
At age 91, the Egyptian people began to suspect that Ramses II was using some type of sorcery to achieve eternal life, which he was. They stormed his temple, and separated the Ankh from the pharaoh’s body before assassinating him. However, before his death he had performed a ritual to bind his *Ka* to the Ankh, and cursed anyone and anything besides himself to wear it. Upon his death, he was buried in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings. His body was later moved to a royal cache in Helmitiki Kunini ruins.

### Conduit: Race For Power

in 2018, the Ankh was discovered once again by Justin , who took the amulet for himself. However, due to the curse, Justin’s soul became bound to the artifact, his mind and body possessed and corrupted by the spirit of Ramses II. Consumed by the Ankh’s Dark Magic, Justin shriveled into a Mummified husk. Ramses II’s shallow reflection of a soul had the body of Justin’ firmly within its clutches.

### Majestic League

The mummy, along with the golden ankh, later came into possession of The Gamemaster, who had bought them on the cursed artifacts black market. He used the ankh to revive the corpse and unleashed him on the Majestic League as they attempted to raid his mansion. The mummy was soon defeated, and reverted back into Justin.

### Pre-2059

Throughout the next 40 years, Justin struggled to contain the evil spirit of Ramses, but he would often transform into the mindless mummy and cause destruction.

### 2059: The Invasion

During the Xir'algath invasion, Justin briefly encountered the Xir'algath prince Taghiat Quasia, a battle in which Ramses II's spirit took control and proceeded to fight Taghiat in his mummy form. However, he was quickly defeated as The Xir'algath succeeded in their invasion of the Multiverse.

### The Last Resistance

Months later, "The Society for Divine Cleansing" had eventually found Justin and attempted to kill him to gain the Ankh's power and summon The Emperor, who was one of their deities. This backfired and Justin transformed into the mummy. Jeffrey was able to defeat the mummy and encourage Justin to fight back. Mustering all his will Justin managed to force King Ramses II’s mind from his body, lifting his curse while also keeping the Ankh for himself.

### 2059: The Dark Reflection

Even after becoming separated from Justin and the Ankh, Ramses II vengefully continued to persist in some aspect. What now remained of his spirit wandered the dark corners of New Evo City, seeking revenge on Justin as well as a new body to inhabit as a reincarnation to return to full power. However, with the help of Red Mars, Justin destroyed Ramses II's spirit for good

### The Ankh Necklace

The ancient magicians and artisans of Egypt forged this magical piece of jewelry at the request of King Ramses II, who wished to replicate the Conduits of Helmitki Kunin. The Emperor's influence would go on to corrupt all who wore it, but bestowed upon them the power of the deserts itself.
