Seth, also known as Set, was an Isu[1] revered as the Egyptian god of the desert, storms, disorder, and violence. Millennia later, Egyptians depicted Seth in art as an enigmatic creature referred to as the Set animal, a beast resembling no known creature, although it could be seen as a composite of an aardvark, a donkey, a jackal, or a fennec fox.[2]
Biography[edit | edit source]
In legend, Seth was the brother of Osiris and Isis.[3] He married Nephthys and fathered the mummification god of the dead, Anubis. Seth was also one of Ra's protectors who aided him in his nightly battles against the monstrous divine serpent Apep.[2] Seth later killed and dismembered Osiris, resulting in Isis[3] using the Ankh[1] to resurrected him for one night, long enough to conceive his son and heir Horus.[3] Horus would then pursue a path of vengeance, with their conflicts becoming the basis of many myths central to Egyptian society.[2]
Legacy and influence[edit | edit source]
By the 1st century BCE, a tomb was built in the Desheret Desert, named after him and Anat. The tomb was connected to the Isu vault Qeneb.too Kah'Aiye,[4] which held[5] an encoded recording for the Assassin Layla Hassan[6] by an unidentified Isu referred to only as the "Seth Anath messenger".[5]
In 38 BCE, the Egyptian Hidden One's Mentor Bayek heard rumor that the Sinai's Old Necropolis was haunted by a restless, vengeful spirit. Venturing inside to investigate, he encountered and slew[7] a serial killer[8] who used Set's name as his alias and based himself in the burial site, from where he desecrated the mummified bodies kept within[7] when he was not murdering people.[8] During Bayek's later travels in Thebes four years later, he met the smuggler Sutekh, who had adopted Seth's classical Egyptian name. Sutekh helped Bayek lift a purported "curse" over the city[9] but died when he fell into an active cobra nest in the Waset Desert.[10]
