Lore[]
The war between the sun gods Ra and Apollo has left the dazzling golden sun mired in a mixture of scarlet and ebony. "The fools," a young girl sighs. Casting aside her innocent smile, she transforms and reveals her awesome strength as Anubis. The crowd opens a path for her, prostrating themselves as they do. It is plain to see that there is a noble presence in their midst, and not one to be challenged.

Name Origin[]
Anubis is the Greek name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion. Like many ancient Egyptian deities, Anubis assumed different roles in various contexts. Depicted as a protector of graves, Anubis was also an embalmer. Anubis was replaced by Osiris in his role as Lord of the underworld. One of his prominent roles was as a god who ushered souls into the afterlife. He attended the weighing scale during the "Weighing of the Heart," in which it was determined whether a soul would be allowed to enter the realm of the dead. Anubis was depicted in black, a color that symbolized both rebirth and the discoloration of the corpse after embalming.
