When, in 38 BCE, his Ba was visited by Bayek of Siwa, Setna was preparing to confront a series of challenges laid out for him. Revealing to Bayek that, instead of a warrior, he sought to be a poet, Setna agreed to allow the Hidden One to complete the challenges on his behalf so that he might confront Ramesses with his post-death choices.[1]
