1/1

Nemhisect the first, born as the hidden son of Akhenaten, lied to since childhood

about his right to the throne of Egypt and betrayed by his own father when he

discovered his rightful destiny. His father was claimed to have met death in battle

before his birth and his mother claimed to have died bringing him into the world, it

was years before he realized his destiny. Nemhisect was forced into the ranks of the

Egyptian military for a decade and began as a common peasant, yet he rose through

the ranks to be above all but the Pharaoh, becoming a General due to his skill and

resolve to serve the Gods.

Everything changed during a nighttime raid on a camp of their wretched Nubian

enemies; he rode at the forefront of an army of five hundred. The vile war chants of

the Egyptian warriors boomed across the desert, however flaming arrows prevented

their enemies from making their escape. Nemhisect commanded his own

magnificent blue and golden chariot, a sight only beaten by the chariot of the

Pharaoh himselfwho at the time was bedridden with illness.

It was on this night, after slaying many Nubians and staining the desert red that as

he searched for the camps leader, he found an old woman crawling through the

crimson sands away from the attackers; in pity he commanded the others to leave

her be, stepping down from his blood spattered chariot to question her. When he

grabbed her by her wet, gore-stained rags and looked into her green eyes, the colour

of Papyrus reeds; eyes much the same as his ownhe knew he could not kill her.

Staring into his eyes with powerful intent and wisdom she spoke quickly to him with

parched words, claiming to be his mother of whom Akhenaten - his true father - had

exiled, calling Nemhisect by name and whispering its meaning; bringing forthpowerful memories seemingly from his birth

Apprentice to Horus, the god of war. The one true king of Egypt.

In his heart, Nemhisect knew this to be his destiny.

Angered by this almighty knowledge he journeyed for days back to the central point

of the Kingdom of Egypt, with his mother hidden on the floor of his chariot. He

challenged the recovering Pharaoh, who proceeded to call the guards to restrain him

and with Akhenatens own hands, slaughtered his mother in front of his eyes.

To avoid the truth escaping, Nemhisect was locked away by his father andexperimented on by the Pharaohsservants with cruel instruments as Akhenaten

tries to reach closer to the sun god, Ra and become ruler of the Gods. Embalmed

alive with an apparently mystical oil of insects of the desert and the blood of the

damned, Nemhisect begins to mutate, breaking from the embalmings bindings.

A mutated insectoid Nemhisect escapes, vowing revenge but knowing he does not

yet have the power to defeat the Pharaoh and his men; he retreats underground and

plans his revenge.
