==Backstory==

Anwar Nagib was born in a poor section of egypt, and became an orphan within a day of entering the world. He grew up in an orphanage but, like many of the children living there, had no illusions that someone would take him from there. Once he was old enough Anwar left the orphanage behind, without a second glance.

The next few years were not very noteworthy. It is not to say that they were boring years, or that Anwar didn’t have moments where he feared for his life, but it was the life of thief on the streets of Egypt. Anwar was not the first, and he knew that, sure as the sun would rise, he would not be the last. He had resigned himself to a life of small crime, a challenging life but one that he could live with a small amount of pride. However, a job soon fell into his lap; rob a tomb that had just been uncovered in the shifting desert sands.

It was to be simple job, but something went wrong. Soon after entering the tomb, the other people helping him with the job began to become incapacitated in strange ways. One man tripped and fell into a pit that seemed to have no bottom. A girl Anwar had known from the orphanage picked up an amulet and was almost immediately bitten by a snake. It happened again and again, until Anwar was the only one who could continue. By the time he made his way into the center of the tomb, he was hungry, he was tired, he was scared, and he just wanted the job to end. It was a blessing then when he saw a ceremonial bed, a gold pither filled with cold water, and a bowl of fruit laid out in the room. Not thinking much of it, Anwar devoured the fruit, drank deeply of the water, and laid down to rest on the bed. After all, it would take him hours to get out of the tomb on his own, and he would need to regain his strength if he was to carry as many treasures as he could from the tomb.

Few people know the terror of waking up in a body that is not their own. Even fewer know the fear of hearing a voice in their mind that is not theirs. Annwar experienced both of those after he slept in the tomb. When he woke, he felt strength coursing through him. His chest was broader, His legs longer, his body seemed more powerful all around. And there was a voice in his mind, saying that this was a worthy body for the Avatar of Anubis. After the brief moment of panic, Anwar was able to discern what had happened. He had slept in Anubis’ tomb and, because of that, had been selected to become Anubis’ avatar on Earth. It seemed that the gods of egypt were indeed real, but a great reckoning had occurred. Many were dead, and the ones who survived were at a fraction of their former glory. Still, the former glory of a god was still more than most mortals could hope for. In exchange for an avatar to do his will on Earth, Anubis promised Anwar a portion of his power.

And so the super human Hery-Seshta ('Overseer of the Mysteries’, also a name for a priest of Anubis) emerged from the tomb of Anubis. For the first year or so, it was an enjoyable trade. Anwar acted as Anubis’ avatar and rained destruction on the wicked. But, as time passed, Anbuis’ will became stranger. He started to demand punishment for those who had committed minor crimes, or those who had committed no crime but displeasing him. Not wanting to lose the powers he had grown accustomed to, Anwar acquiesced. And so, Hery-Seshta (Or Anubis as he was known in Europe and America) slowly became a villian, someone that the heroes fought against.
