Horus the Younger
Horus the Younger
Named for his uncle but far more famous, Horus the Younger avenged his father Osiris's death and became king while he was still a boy. He's the Egyptian Boy Who Lived— Seth's numerous attempts to kill him never worked. Horus the Younger is a boy king, a powerful magician, and even a healer, but he still has to listen to his mother. Then again, when your mother is the mighty Isis, we guess you have no choice.

Work & Education
| Occupation | I'm king, even though I'm still a kid. |

Beliefs
| Political views | I'm king, so everybody does what I tell them. |
Family & Friends (& Enemies)

Even when I'm the underdog, I still prepare a victory speech." – H. Jackson Brown, Jr. "For me giving up is way harder than trying." – Kanye West "I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good." – Martin Luther King, Jr. "If there be no enemy, there's no fight. If no fight, no victory, and if no victory there is no crown." – Thomas Carlyle |
