The Greater Gods
Isis:
The Egyptian Mother Goddess, she is possesses a large pair of colourful wings with which she shelters Egypt. She is daughter of Nut and Geb and sister and wife of Osiris. After he was slain by Seth, Isis gathered the pieces of Osiris's body and reassembled them with the help of Anubis, creating the first mummy. Using her powers she brought him back to life. Isis is powerful and cunning. She tricked the sun god, Amun-Ra, into revealing to her all his secrets of sorcery, and so she is the most powerful Sorceress in all of Egypt. Isis is the mother of Horus. She also discovered Anubis in the reeds of the Nile and raised him as her own.
Osiris: 
Son of Geb and Nut, brother and husband of Isis, he was originally a god of nature and ruler over all of Egypt. He was murdered by his jealous brother Seth who tricked him at a dinner party, cut his body to pieces, and spread them to the far corners of the world. His wife, Isis, regained his body and brought him back to life by creating the first mummy. After ward he retired to the underworld as God of the Dead and Lord of the Underworld. His skin is now a greenish colour and he still wears his mummy wrappings. He is the father of Horus, who took his place as ruler over the mortal lands.
Horus:
Son of Isis and Osiris, Horus is a falcon or a falcon headed man. God of the sky, his eyes are the sun and moon. He avenged his father’s death at the hands of Seth and took over as ruler of Egypt. Horus is associated with kingship and generally oversees the pharaohs. Many Pharaohs claim to be Horus reincarnated into a new human form.
Seth:
The Embodiment of hostility, evil, chaos, war, storms and the desert, Seth is son of Geb and Nut, and brother and consort of Nephthys. He became jealous of his brother Osiris's rule over the land and murdered him, seizing his throne. After Horus was raised by Isis and Osiris in secret he ousted Seth who then claimed his right to the throne before a divine tribunal, but although some of the gods sided with him, Isis persuaded them to side with Horus instead. Afterwards he went to live with Amun-Ra in the sky and join him in his fight against Apep.
Anubis:
The Guardian of the Underworld, Lord of the Mummy Wrappings, the Jackal headed man, Anubis organized the funeral rites of Osiris. He oversees mummification and assists in the weighing of the hearts of the deceased. He leads those worthy of entering the Afterlife to the throne of Osiris. He is the child of Osiris and Nephthys, though he was raised by Isis.
Maat: 
The daughter of Sun god Amun-Ra, she is goddess of truth, justice, cosmic order and harmony. She rules over the judgment of the dead in the throne room of Osiris. When someone dies they stand before 42 judges and declare their guilt or innocence of certain crimes. Their soul is then weighed against the goddess in the form of a feather. Anubis holds the scales and Maat’s Consort, Thoth records the verdict. If the heart is weighted down it is fed to the beast Ammut and the deceased is unable to enter the underworld. If the soul is lighter than the feather it is permitted to enter the underworld.
Thoth: 
The God of the Moon, Thoth presides over scribes and serves as vizier of Osiris. He records the results of the judgment of the dead. He sprang from the head of Seth. Amun-Ra ordered him to light up the sky at night. He is slowly devoured by monsters who are then forced to disgorge him bit by bit. He is a man with head of an ibis and wears a crescent moon on his head. Thoth is among the wisest of all the gods.
Hathor and Sekhmet:
The cow headed Goddess of joy, love, dance and song, Hathor carries Amun-Ra on her back. She nurtures the living and carries the dead to the underworld where she refreshes them with food and drink from the sycamore tree, which is where she is believed to be incarnated. All coffins are made from sycamore; death is regarded as a return to the womb of Hathor. When Amun-Ra became old and angry at human kind for plotting against him, he sent the Eye of Ra, the burning power of the sun, to his daughter Hathor transforming her into Sekhmet, the wrath of Ra. Sekhmet began the brutal slaughter of man kind. When Amun-Ra's anger had subsided and he tired of the death and battle, he slathered the fields with a red coloured beer. Believing it to be blood, Sekhmet drank it. When she became too intoxicated to continue with the battle she reverted to the happy form of Hathor.
Bast: 
The cat headed woman, Goddess of love, fertility and sex, Bast protects humanity from diseases and evil spirits. Cats are her sacred animals and they guard the gateway to the Afterlife.
Nephthys: 
The daughter of Nut and Geb and sister and consort to Seth. She intoxicated Osiris and seduced him, giving birth to Anubis whom she hid in the reeds of the Nile where he was later found and raised by Isis. Nephthys abandoned Seth after he killed Osiris and helped Isis to regain her husband's body. Nephthys helps to protect Osiris in the Underworld.
