Hierophant

The Hierophants are the leaders of the Followers of Set and stewards of the temples dedicated to their founder. They were called into being after Tanis had sunken beneath the Nile and Set had vanished from his sarcophagus in Ombos. They ruled over the Clan on behalf of their founder and all important decisions, like the one concerning joining the nascent Camarilla or the Declaration of Red Tears, are made on their behalf. Power-struggles between various Hierophants were common and despite sharing the same goals, many Hierophants have very different ideas how to achieve them (for example if non-Egyptians should be allowed to receive the Embrace).

There were seven active Hierophants during their foundation (six others lie still in Torpor in sunken Tanis) and over the years many more fell into Torpor. It is rumored that the eldest of them still guide the Clan, hidden in their tombs in the Great Temples.
