Sobriquet: Sophie

Appearance: Sophie is a plain woman of dark brown hair and eyes, plain of face. She works hard to dress it up, and be more than what nature has given her.

Behavior: Sophie is a woman of fancy words and educated demeanor. She would have everyone believe she knows everything, and understands all that is said.

History: : Sophie was a plain, French woman who visited Egypt with her husband while Napoleon the 3rd was still ruling France. Unremarkable, she was wed because of the money of her father. Her noble husband, after conceiving two sons, spent most of his time trying to forget he was married to such a plain woman. Of course, as she was his wife, she had nothing to say, save that she had to honor him, and all the crap she was served at her wedding. Deep inside, she always thought (or did she wanted it to be true?) that she was meant to do something great, and somehow lied to herself when she thought her husband would help her publish the novel she was writing. In Egypt, then, her husband met an English gentleman who seemed to be quite familiar with the ways of Egypt. Soon, the two men prepared an expedition ignoring Sophie. Or so she thought. One night, as her husband was still away, Sir Rogers came to her. Sophie was charmed by the gentleman's way. Her romantic mind was giving her ideas she never thought she would (or should) have. Despite her desires, she nobly asked Sir Rogers to let her alone, for she could not be unfaithful to her husband. Sir Rogers' answer was quite surprising, as he described to her the brothel where her husband was enjoying himself with two gorgeous Egyptian women... It took some time (and evidence) to convince her that her husband was cheating. In this time Sir Rodger convinced her to bed him. Back in France, her faith in everything was shaken. Her faith in her husband was betrayed in the arms of Egyptian whores. Sophie went to her priest, and he told her to forget it happening as everyone could make a mistake. The priest even told her to stop writing her novel, as such things were unfit for a woman). Even her children clearly sided with her husband. She was alone, and bitter...

Sir Rodgers once again led her astray. He had discovered in Paris a cult of believers in Set, the Egyptian God. Just for the fun of it, she accepted an invitation to join him one night to see the Rituals performed to this God. The experience was such she never forgot it: Here, in the middle of black and white robed men and women, she fell in adoration in front of the golden statue of Set. In the end, she was approached by the Priest of Set, who asked her why she had come. Troubled, she answered she had come out of bitterness. The priest smiled and dismissed her. She followed him, telling of her experience, her illumination, of how she wanted to become a Follower of Set, of how she wanted to serve the Dark God. The priest turned, mildly intrigued. She would have sworn that for less than a second, she had seen vertical slits instead of pupils. Sir Rogers told the priest he backed her in her claim. So the priest described how her husband had pillaged the ruins of a Temple of Set. He had sold almost everything, but he would have kept the Black Dagger, and obsidian blade belonging to the Cult. She was to bring back to the priest this blade.

Sophie returned home and found the priest had told the truth: The blade was there. She didn't know how, but it was there, in the same room her husband slept in. That night her husband came home in the presence of another woman, one of the Egyptian whotes. Something inside her snapped, and as she held the dagger she realized what she needed to do. She felt betrayed, and silently approached the couple e. Her husband was surprised to have his head moved back as the dagger bit deeply in his throat. He fell on his back as the woman started to scream, but Sophie, suddenly remembering how Osiris had betrayed his brother, how Nephtys had betrayed her husband, how Ra has betrayed his own Grand Grand Son, felt the kind of kinship that could be nothing else but a dark twisted love. She killed the woman, and went to the chambers of her sons. There in a killing rage she also murdered her sons. After all this she took the dagger back to the Priest. The priest ritually washed her, cleaned her, and sang songs over her naked body, using the dagger to lightly paint sigils on her body. After several rituals, and the different members of the Cult of Set using her body, they used the dagger to drain her body of blood. Once her veins were empty, the Priest, Gontron of Achterberg, embraced her.
