itself. Osiris — The god of the dead, incarnated in The Red Pyramid by Julius Kane. He is one of Geb and Nut's five children. His symbol is the 'Spine of Osiris', or the djed. He is frequently described as having blue skin, representing the fact that he is "dead". He was once king of the gods until his brother Set imprisoned and later killed him. His wife Isis and sister Nepthys searched for his body to revive him with magic, but were only able to make him pharaoh of the Duat. Ptah — God of craftsmen and creation, summoned by Sadie and Walt help get a piece of the Book of Ra. Ra — Sun god. Retired to the heavens, but revived in The Throne of Fire; later merges with Zia and recovers his lost mental integrity. Consumed by Apophis and later revived by Sadie and Carter. He was the first and greatest king of the gods, and undertook nightly journeys through the Duat to battle the forces of chaos. After the destruction of Apophis, he retires to the heavens once again and takes the other gods with him aside from Anubis. Khnum — Ra's evening aspect who created man out of clay using a potter's wheel. In The Throne of Fire, the Kanes meet him near the entrance of the Duat and have one chance to guess his name, which he had forgotten after so long. Sadie eventually gave him his ren, and he allows them to pass on to revive his other aspects. Khepri — Ra's morning aspect that had the form of a golden beetle. The Kanes found it near the exit of Duat and had to battle Valdimir Menshikov, possessed by Apophis, to give it to Ra and thereby restore his final aspect. Ra later gives Khepri to Zia Rashid who is able to channel his powers. Khepri also protects Zia and Carter Kane from the power of Chaos in the Land of Demons. Sekhmet — Goddess of lions. She can be summoned by a Chief Lector once in his/her lifetime, and attacks Carter, Sadie, Zia, and Amos at the command of Michel Desjardins. She is the lieutenant of Ra and a master of destruction. Hathor — Goddess of cows, and alter-ego of Sekhmet. She is summoned whenever Sekhmet is tired, and represents her peaceful side. Serqet — Goddess of scorpions. In The Red Pyramid,
