leader of the twenty-first Nome (New York). He takes in Carter and Sadie after Julius hosts Osiris and is trapped by the god Set. During the first novel, Amos is possessed by Set and forced to lure his niece and nephew to the god's pyramid in Phoenix, Arizona. Once freed, Amos goes for healing at the first Nome, and does not return to Brooklyn House until the second novel. His experience hosting Set has changed him, however, and eventually leads to his decision to voluntarily host the god during the final battle with Apophis. Amos succeeds Michel Desjardins as leader of the House of Life after he sacrifices himself fighting Apophis. After the final battle, Carter becomes the Pharaoh, but leaves Amos in charge of running the day-to-day operations of the House of Life in Amos' capacity as Chief Lector.

In The Red Pyramid, Sadie sees him several times in dreams without understanding who he actually is and develops an immediate attraction to Anubis. To get the Feather of Truth, Carter and Sadie travel into the Underworld where Sadie meets Anubis in person for the first time and convinces him to give her the feather before Anubis teleports them to New Orleans.

Days after the battle is over, Anubis visits Brooklyn House to transport Carter and Sadie to meet with their father and Osiris, calling his time with Sadie "stimulating", but annoying Sadie as Anubis tells her mother that Sadie has a sharp tongue.

Instead, Anubis directs Sadie to the second part of the Book of Ra and gives her a Netjeri blade and kisses Sadie as a birthday present. After Sadie and Carter
