Origin Backstory

Anubis, son of Osiris and Nephthys (or Set in some tales), emerged as the protector of the dead in ancient Egyptian belief. Associated with embalming and mummification, he invented the process to preserve Osiris's body after his murder by Set. As lord of the underworld before Osiris's rise, Anubis guided souls and oversaw the Weighing of the Heart ceremony. He judged the dead in Duat, ensuring the worthy passed to the afterlife while devouring the unworthy, embodying both guardianship and fearsome authority over death.
