Anubis (Ah-noo-bis)

Anubis (Ahn-oo-bis) was a brilliant military leader of the Alliance of Sentinels and one of the founders of the Republic of Fantasia. Ancient Egyptians hailed him as the God of Mummification. Described as a handsome tall man with a bald head and muscular body, Anubis was one of the strongest members of the Sentinels. He trained Emit in combat, fought alongside the faun in the Sea People’s Rebellion, and founded Fantasia’s early military. Despite his accomplishments though, Anubis was continually a source of conflict within the Sentinel’s ranks. His on/off relationship with Bastet and rivalry with Stephanie contributed to him being a black sheep of sorts for the union of heroes. Stephanie left him out of her magic training and there were long periods which found him sullen, silent, and withdrawn from other members of the team.

Background

Anubis was an Arentian. This gave him the ability to extend his lifetime by going back and forth to Arentium to regenerate his body. Every time Anubis went back to Arentium, he aged back to twenty.

As with most of the Arentians posing as Egyptian Gods, Anubis hid is head behind a mask.  He selected a jackal mask. The Egyptians worshipped him as the God of Mummification and keeper of the Book of the Dead.

Anubis noted that he was the product of an illicit love affair his mother Nephthys had with Set’s twin brother Osiris. Anubis was raised as Set’s son. He did not find out about his true parentage until after Osiris was killed by Set’s hand. Thus making him a cousin of the gods who eventually became known as the Olympians.
