Set

*"Set, the god of death. They made a pact... a pact that would unleash darkness itself."*
―Dr. Henry Jekyll[src]
**Set** is the Egyptian god of death, storms, and chaos. Set was summoned by Princess Ahmanet before the assassination of Menehptre. Set gave her the Dagger of Set, which would give Set corporeal form in exchange for giving Ahmanet political power. Ahmanet used the Dagger to assassinate her family; however, before Ahmanet could complete the pact, her plan was found out and she was mummified alive, leaving Set without form.

In 2017, both Ahmanet and the Dagger of Set reemerged. Ahmanet chose Nick Morton as her new sacrifice to Set, and she killed Morton's love interest Jennifer Halsey in order to force him to comply with her demands. However, Morton simply stabbed himself with the Dagger, fusing himself with Set, before using Set's powers to defeat Ahmanet.

## Biography

### Dealing with the Princess

In 2983 B.C., King Menehptre, who had no other heirs to his throne, promised his daughter Princess Ahmanet that, when he died, she would be ascend to his throne as Pharaoh. However, Menehptre's second wife later bore a son and left Ahmanet, a woman, ineligible to inherit the title of pharaoh.

Ahmanet, embittered by her father's betrayal, decided to used her family's blood to summon Set, which left Ahmanet cursed but incredibly powerful. Set gave Ahmanet the Dagger of Set to implant him into the body of a mortal man.

A vengeful Ahmanet snuck into her parents' bedroom and assassinated them one-by-one by slitting their throats with the Dagger. Ahmanet attempted to sacrifice her lover to Set using the Dagger of Set. Unfortunately, the temple priests found out about Ahmanet's actions, slew her lover, and mummified her alive, leaving Ahmanet for dead for 5000 years.

### Masterminding the Present Day

In 2017, Ahmanet's sarcophagus was inadvertently discovered by Nick Morton. Morton and his team retrieved Ahmanet's sarcophagus, intending to take it to London. During the flight, a huge wave of crows assaulted the airplane, killing everyone on board except for Jenny Halsey and causing the plane to crash.

Morton revived a day later, and was greeted by Dr. Henry Jekyll, the head of Prodigium, a secret society dedicated to hunting supernatural threats, not long after his first confrontation with the newly revived Ahmanet. Jekyll informed Morton that he was chosen by the Princess to become what appeared to be the key to her conquest of the Earth, which is why he was resurrected after the plane crash.

### The Princess's Escape

he curse that Set had placed on Ahmanet allowed her to escape her captors, leaving Ahmanet to roam free again. Jekyll, who attempted to stop her from escaping, failed. Jekyll transformed into Edward Hyde, his murderous alternative personality, forcing Morton to fight him. After regressing to his original personality, Jekyll told Morton that he was the only one who could stop Ahmanet, and joined him with his assistant, Halsey.

### Attack on London

Ahmanet arrived in London, using her powers to raise an army of undead, and created a sandstorm that ravaged the city, killing thousands in the process. During the battle, she captured Halsey and drowned her.

### Duel in the Crossrail

Ahmanet attempted to sacrifice Nick Morton to Set. However, Morton used the Dagger of Set on himself, fusing himself with the god, who proceeded to join Ahmanet to uphold his end of the bargain until he saw Halsey's dead body. He regained control of his body and used Set's powers to suck the life out of Ahmanet and kill her once and for all, thus ending the battle and the undead's threat.

Morton used Set's power to resurrect Halsey before becoming overwhelmed by Set's power and disappearing. Later, Halsey met with with Dr. Jekyll and they discussed if Nick, now fused with Set, was good or evil and whose side he was on. Morton later used Set's power to resurrect his friend Chris Vail. The two rode off in the desert as a sandstorm trailed behind them.

## Personality

Set is nothing more or less than the ultimate personification of evil, death, destruction, chaos, and storms. He is a mighty and authoritative god, attempting to kill Ahmanet after she did not uphold her part of the deal. However, he seems to be caring and protective towards his host as well, as he is seen briefly allowing Nick Morton to use his powers to revive Jenny Halsey and Chris Vail on two occasions, showing that the god cares about his host's happiness.
