Beyond Common Knowledge

He has managed to prolong his own life as a mortal for over 400 years, but does not seek youth or undeath. He has gone under many guises and aliases over the years to avoid notice.

Netheb the Aged was able to contain Sir General Hadmiren‘s undeath and lay him to rest. He extracted the evil spirit inhabiting him and bound it to himself before passing through the orders’ doorway to the House of the Dead and releasing it – though he kept some of memories it imprinted from the general. He has used this knowledge to upgrade the order’s defenses and protocols. He has used the ‘voice of the general‘ a few times in rescue missions for the order on Lake Caolite.

Netheb the Aged went to The Vinewood scar in CY 9051 to look into the effect and see if the order could do anything – it is said he still monitors it personally.

Netheb the Aged has his own unique Maiyu Amulet, thought to be the original and most powerful of them all.

Actual Motive(s): Knowledge
> He pays homage to Anubis the Celestial and leads the efforts of controlled Mummification for those willing to become one of The Risen in defense of an order, bloodline, or sacred place.

Actual Fear(s): Becoming Undead or well-known (he avoids reknown or notoriety of any kind).
