Set

"Power goes to whoever has the strength to take it."

-Set, the Red Lord

The God of Chaos, the Desert, Storms, Fire, and War, the Red Lord Set is one of the principle members of the Kem-Duati. Once the favorite grandson of Ra, Set was the Third Pharaoh of the Kem-Duati, having deposed his predecessor, his brother Osiris, before in turn being usurped by his nephew, Horus, the current pharaoh. Though he submits to Horus's authority, his pride and ambition are well known, and any with knowledge of him are well aware he would jump at the chance to take the throne again if the opportunity presented itself. Beyond his lust for the throne, however, Set his renowned for his personal power, ruthlessness, pride, cunning, and cruelty. Save for his grandfather, the long since banished Ra, or perhaps his aunt Sekhment, for many years kept dormant within the personality of Hathor, there is no member of the Kem-Duati more feared than Set.

Early Life
Set was the third quadruplet of Nut and Geb, making him the younger brother to Osiris and Isis, and elder brother to Nephthys. He was born in the Palace of the Sun, within the city of Memphet-Ra, the capitol of the realm of Kemara.

As Set's grandfather, Ra, had received a prophecy that one of his grandchildren would one day overthrow him, Set and his siblings were nearly destroyed shortly after their birth. It was only the honeyed words of Set's mother, Nut, which convinced Ra to allow the children to be raised and destroy whichever one proved treacherous that saw Set spared.

As he grew, Set proved he was the most aggressive, domineering, and ambitious of his siblings. Like everyone in Memphet-Ra, he had a good healthy fear of his grandfather. Unfortunately for Set, he found that among all his siblings, he was the center of Ra's attentions, as Ra viewed Set as the greatest threat to his power, and the most likely to overthrow him. Ra kept him close at his side as he ruled, and took care to see to his instruction as a warrior and leader of men, as it was his wish that if he was overthrown, the empire he had built would have a worthy leader.

Ra's Champion
After Set's aunt, Sekhmet, succumbed to blood madness, and had her mind reforged, causing her to take on the persona of the calm and demure Hathor, Ra required a new general to lead his armies. There was no doubt as to who that would be.

The Ynochian Assault
"Arrogant child. You and your ilk have done nothing but crush cubs beneath your boots. Now, you face the lions."

-Set to Abaddon, before their duel

The Angelic Conquest eventually arrived at the doors of the Kem-Duati. When it did, Set was given command of the pantheon's border defenses, To his anger, he found that the forces given to him by Horus were miserly, as the pharaoh intended to concentrate the Kem-Duati strength defending Kemara. Set was impressed by his nephew's ruthlessness, and rising to the challenge, decided he would use what he had, issuing orders for his son Sobek and and the other gods at his command to focus on applying guerilla tactics against the Ynochim once they arrived.

In his personal realm of Sutekhia, Set conjured a massive sandstorm as scouts brought him word of the impending arrival of the invaders, to prevent them from using their aerial forces. When the first of the Ynochim arrived, the infamous Seventh Legion, the Bloodthirsters, led by Abaddon, Set remained within the realm's capitol of Tekhem, from where he commanded his forces. His wife, Nepthys, attempted to convince him that they should personally join the fighting after Set deployed Babi the Baboon God, but Set refused, stating that they would serve better commanding from the rear and making the invaders squander as much of their strength as possible.

After several hours of the Seventh Legion slowly making gains, and butchering any civilians they encountered, Nepthys went against her husband's orders, and went to personally challenge their Seraph, Abaddon. Upon learning of this, Set was enraged and horrified, hurriedly devoting as many forces as he could to aiding her. Set did not care, as he had heard of the brutality of Abaddon, the so called Red Vengeance, and feared the prospect his wife facing him. Nevertheless, he did restrain himself sufficiently to avoid rushing to battle after her.

At least, until her Avatar was destroyed by Abaddon. That drove Set to venture into the fray himself. Even though much of his energy had already been expended in conjuring and maintaining the great storm which gripped Sutekhia, Set nevertheless gave Abaddon the fight of his life. Cunning and battle tested, Set used the environment to his advantage, electrocuting the river Abaddon was standing near to harm him. Employing his mastery of the Dominion of Chaos, Set conjured a Material Chaos storm to prevent anyone from interfering in their battle, and also disintegrated Abaddon's armor. The fight ended with Set directing some of his Chaos storm to blast a hole in Abaddon's abdomen, blowing out his guts and obliterating his spine. As Set removed his helm and knelt to gloat over his foe before carrying him away for torturous revenge, he did not notice the new arrival.

Raphael, Seraph of the Third Angelic Legion, the Disciples of Ynoch, had heeded his brother's call for aid. Set had not noticed his arrival, and had his jaw smashed off by Penitence, Raphael's mighty warhammer, before the Seraph raised him up on high, and shattered his back across his knee. Set's role in the battle ended then, and his devastating defeat marked the beginning of the Kem-Duati's subjugation by the Ynochim.

Physical Appearance
Set's ordinary appearance is of a completely hairless man with flesh the color of pale stone. His eyes are a glowing crimson in color, and when he is agitated, will often spark with lightning of the same color. Tall and broad, Set is covered with dense, compact muscle, moving with the gait of a stalking predator. His face is chiseled, his features cruelly handsome, and he has been described as having a wicked smile. He often garbs himself in absurdly expensive finery, to swell his own ego by showing off his power and wealth.

Personality
Set, generally speaking, is a remarkably shrewd, calculating, and manipulative individual. He delights in bending lesser individuals to his will, whether through deception and the manipulation of events or his own, insidious charm. Set is potently charismatic, capable of oozing out honeyed words or whipping a crowd into a frenzy as he chooses. Being proud, vain, and arrogant, he enjoys sowing discord and chaos among his lessers and his rivals, viewing most other beings as beneath him. Set is often glib and taunting to most foes he comes across, possessed of a scathing wit as hot and scorching as the deserts he holds sway over. However, the rare individuals who manage to impress him, either through demonstrating courage, outsmarting him or defeating him in combat, are spoken of by the Red Lord with due respect, and will be treated by him fairly if they ever make dealings with him. All others are simply pawns for him to manipulate.

Set is also possessed of a fierce temper, though it is rarely put on display. When angered, he typically hides his wrath, biding his time until he can unleash the full fury of his vengeance. Set is extremely brutal to those who have crossed him, and he takes great delight in crushing enemies with his own hands.

All of this combines into a considerable lust for power and dominance. Whilst Set knows when to bide his time, he does desire power and control to a huge degree, and often finds this desire causing him to commit acts which he otherwise would not do.

It possesses its master's power over fire and storms, and Set uses it to slash his enemies to ribbons or to unleash blazing infernos or shredding desert storms, being quite fond of using blasts of sand to strip the flesh from his enemies' bones with it.
