## Biography

### Early Life

Edmund Jedrick Ankhaf Wazad was born on Epep in the year 3948 in Khalem, Waset, as the firstborn of Jasejem Ankhaf, the Ankhaf Heir, and Ebana Wazad. He was planned to be named "Jedrick". The same day after he was born, his parents had a strange dream. Renenutet, the goddess, appeared to them wearing the image of each of their mothers. She proclaimed their baby to be the first Setepnetjer, Chosen by Thoth, the god of knowledge, naming him "Edmund" for "He Who Works on the Land". Renenutet also gifted him with the Thoth amulet and the baboon Guardian Hapy, one of the Four Sons of Horus. The Seven Hathors also were present and they foretold his *shai*, as a crucial player in the end of days, the Arising. It would be his wisdom who would save or doom the world. Jasejem and Ebana woke up surprised they had the same dream, to be witness of a baboon overlooking the crib their baby boy was sleeping, a necklace on his side. Simultaneously, there was a meteor shower only visible in the Sepat of Thoth, and many people across the continent claimed to see a strange light coming from many different ancient temples. His birth marked the beginning of the Age of the Chosen Ones.

Against Nebet Iaret Ankhaf's advice, Jasejem Ankhaf and Ebana Wazad made a public announcement claiming their child was a Chosen One, which meant the true mythic Age of the Chosen Ones had just started. The Netjeri Church had lost most of its followers after the Syennish War II, which meant that most Saturanians did not take it seriously, and, in fact, Jasejem and Ebana were ridiculed. Plus, at the time, the ancient prophecy of the Age of the Chosen Ones was believed to be that of the events of the Great Secession, and once it was resolved, the Age had ended. However, others took the signs of the day he was born as a celestial proof that the true Age had begun.

It was not until 3950, when the birth of another Setepnetjeret was announced: that of Brenna McKliff, Chosen of Tefnut. Her family, a branch of Clan McKliff, held no relation to House Ankhaf. Months after, Edmund's younger brother, George Ankhaf, was born and claimed the Setepnetjer of Shu. With strange natural phenomena happening each of the days they were born, more, but still few, people returned to the Netjeri Faith, hoping to be sparred from the coming apocalypse. It inspired mass hoaxes across the nation, where people claimed to have a Setepnetjer or Setepnetjeret child, to be later proved as fakes.

### Childhood, Teenage and Early Adult Years

Edmund, as the firstborn, became the main candidate to become the Ankhaf Heir when his father took the title of Neb Ankhaf. Two years after George's birth, Edmund had two sisters: Shery and Maia Ankhaf, whom he was very close with. Edmund attended the Thutmose Academy and worked closely with his father in his investigations about House Ankhaf and Saturanian history. After graduation, Edmund enrolled into the Law School of the Djehuty University of Hermopolis, but pursued his master's degree in the Seshat University of Khalem.

### Neb Ankhaf and Djehuty University

After completing his Jerui and gaining his *Was* abilities, he became the sole owner of the Book of Thoth.

In 3979 Jasejem abdicated and Edmund became Neb Ankhaf. He was in office for four years, having served Usert II and the Saturanian people well. His existence as a Setepnetjer never intercepted with his job, so the public had a good opinion of him. His brother George succeeded him.

Edmund then became a professor of law in the DUH, were he met Nauny Nynecher, another college professor, who he would marry and have two children with: Setna and Seshat Ankhaf, who died of illness as a baby. Setna married and had a son and a daughter, Erog and Isidora Ankhaf, before he divorced his wife. Isidora would marry Khaleda Sunters and adopt one daughter: Hetepheres Ankhaf. Edmund also raised his niece, Theresa Ankhaf, together with George and Shery after Maia's instability to raise her in a mental hospital.

In the second half of the 4010's, Edmund was chosen as the new President of the Djehuty University of Hermopolis.
