The main power of evil in the Egyptian pantheon, Set is still well acquainted with the other gods. After all, he's one of the nine of the Ennead - a senior member of the pantheon. The others must respect him, even if they don't much like him. And despite his evil ways, Set has been known to side with the rest of the pantheon against the chaotic ravages of the serpent Apophis. In the end, he's still a power of law.

Set used to be married to Nephythys, and now and again he sends proxies to her realm no try and win her back. 'Course, he also lusts after Isis, and it's no dark that, if given the chance, he'd put Osiris and Horus in the dead-book. The evil power just plain hates Osiris - after all, Set killed him once before - but his anger toward Horus stems from the fact that Horus was granted a throne Set desired.

When it comes to planar affairs, Set's the most active of the Egyptian powers. He makes and breaks alliancevs all the time with other deities (and near-deities), and recent chant has him hanging out with Semuanya, the lizard man god. Some even say Set's dealing with Tiamat. But most powers know to examine anything he's involved in very carefully.

Set's realm on Baator is called Ankhwugaht, a burning desert in the midst of the snow of Stygia. The center of the realm boasts a huge black pyramid that seems to cast a shadow across the entire land. The petitioners are completely untrustworthy, but they have a strange sense of honor, and they won't go back on their sworn word. 'Course, getting them to swear in the first place is another matter entirely.
