The Viziers were among the oldest Shemsu-Heru and Horus' chosen administrators. As the Reborn began to settle across the various regions of the earth, Horus saw a need for better means of monitoring the deeds of his followers. Thus he appointed viziers, or prime ministers, who would represent his authority. The duties of viziers include enforcing the Code of Horus, assisting the Shemsu-heru as necessary, and monitoring the activities of other supernatural creatures. Whenever he spent time in the Shadowlands, it was their duty to guide the other members of their Dynasty.
The position of vizier is not lifelong — merely for as long as Horus deems it necessary or suitable. Some viziers have held their titles for centuries, others for only a few decades. They also coordinated the various mummies that had dispersed across the globe when Horus announced the Diaspora. They held council within the city of Alexandria. Eight Viziers were each appointed to one of the following regions:
- North America (United States and Canada)
- Mexico (Central America and South America) — The Mexican vizier handles all affairs in Mexico, Mesoamerica, and South America; although Shemsu-heru activities are minimal here, this position is important for monitoring the general state of affairs.
- Egypt
- Africa
- Western Europe — Although Horus himself is located in Switzerland, he does not concern himself with the details of his European followers, leaving this task to another.
- Eastern Europe — This vizier’s duties have magnified considerably with the political changes of the past decade. The East European vizier is pressuring Horus to establish a new vizier just to monitor the nations of the ex-Soviet Union.
- Asia (Monitor is located in Hong Kong)
- Australia (Indonesia)
Some of the Viziers of Horus returned after the Sixth Maelstrom as Imkhu.
