Saatet-ta, Darkener of the Earth is a Bane Mummy.
Overview[]
No records exist of Saatet-ta's life prior to her transformation, and little distinguishes her among the other Bane mummies even now. While Saatet-ta is a mighty being, to be sure, she s the weakest of the seven Bane mummies, and she is often treated as the runt of Apophis' litter. This intolerable state quickly drove her insane after her rebirth, even more so than repeated deaths and trips to hell. In a pathetic attempt to overcompensate, Saatet-ta alternatively dubs herself "Darkener of the Earth," "Queen of a Thousand Ravening Locusts" and/or "Ebon Horror of Khutu" among countless other melodramatic sobriquets. She often sets loose one megalomaniacal scheme after another in a vain attempt to prove her superiority over her brethren.
Saatet-ta was once a truly beautiful woman, but Set's rituals changed that for all time. She stands just over five feet tall, with a body that is a reflection of her twisted soul. Her skin is blackened and cracked like a fried lake bed, and her once magnificent hair is a sparse tangle of steely gray. She is known to use Hekau to veil her body in a glamour of her lost beauty, but regardless of her form, Saatet-ta's eyes burn with a feverish light.
