Aranthebes, is a Mummy during the Dark Ages.
Overview[]
Aranthebes scarcely remembers his mortal life anymore. He was a farmer six thousand years ago, he thinks. Or perhaps he just farmed for a while after one of his early rebirths. It hardly matters. These days are hard for the avengers of Horus; no one remembers the old ways, and Egypt is mostly given over to some upstart third-generation monotheistic religion. Worse still, after millennia of victories over the forces of Set, it now seems as though the Shemsu-Heru are falling into the background as the vampires ascend to power. The plowshare became a sword long ago; now all it needs is a target.

Storyteller Note: Aranthebes is absurdly capable. This is as it should be: the man has lived for longer than many Methuselahs. He should provide a good challenge for an entire coterie of Cainites, but more importantly, he simply should not be used as a physical challenge for vampires. He is better used as a long-term foil whose goals usually, but not always, counter those of the coterie.
