eyes hold gentleness and ancient knowledge. Father of
Osiris and Set, he is second of the Pesedjet after Atum-
Re. Forever separated from Nut, he gazes up at night
with perceptible longing.
In modern times, Geb has played many roles:
environmentally responsible agronomist, friendly stockist at
health food stores, organic egg farmer, obsessed astronomer
and champion bird breeder. Appearing to be between his
late 20s and mid-30s, he rarely seems as old as his children.
With only some moisture, he can plant gardens anywhere.
Geb’s Scions are equally green-thumbed. They often
live in oases of beauty and fair prospects hidden away
on city rooftops, on ledges of arid mountains or in deep
ravines in the desert.

skin the color of coffee, Horus is the most conservative
of the Egyptian Gods. He likes to reminisce about his
incarnation among mortals as a pharaoh of ancient
Egypt, and he regularly visits the Cairo Museum to gaze
on the objects buried with Tutankhamun. “Second-rate
stuff,” he is heard to scoff, and he can lecture endlessly
on the glories of his country until people fall asleep.
That said, he is an implacable enemy and a great
force for justice. In modern times, he often affects the
appearance of a fair-skinned, athletic young man with
an eye patch (in all forms, Horus is missing his left eye
thanks to a battle with Set). He has been a uniformed
police officer, a detective on the night beat, a marshal
transporting prisoners, a judge on the bench, an agent
with Interpol and a Canadian Mountie. Like the
Mounties, he always gets his man—usually destroying his
quarry in the process.
Horus’s Scions are similarly dedicated and driven.
Commonly pursuing careers in law enforcement, they
often cross the line between law and vengeance, to
the dismay of their superiors. In leadership roles, they
emphasize their perks at the expense of their duties.
They always have a fondness for fine and beautiful
things and tend to prefer gold to silver.
