This vampire refuses to give any other name but that when introductions are made, which tends to get him quite a lot of weird stares, as he is clearly of pure Italian background. Naming himself after the Egyptian sky god and adorning most of his person with jewelry depicting the Eye of Horus, he believes that "The Eye of Horus" has been awakened in him, granting him superior intuition and knowledge of the world and his surroundings. Set's historical rivalry with Horus has secret meaning to him as well, but he guards this secret venomously, never confiding the true meaning to anyone.Among the previously mentioned jewelry that Horus wears with the depiction of "The Eye" are a tight golden tauk choker around his neck, a ring, and golden bracelets. Other notable jewelry on his person are a simple but elegant golden ankh necklace, two golden earrings shaped like obelisks hang from his ears, and he carries a beautiful golden cane designed with the head of an ibis as the handle in homage to Thoth. The cane, also not much of a secret to those who have seen it in action, is actually a well hidden Cane-Sword.As for himself, he is quite good looking standing at just over 6 feet with an athletic, toned build. He has shoulder length, straight black hair that when looked at from certain angles seems to shine a blood red. This cuts quite a contrast with his emerald green eyes. To others he looks to be in his very early twenties, but the truth is Horus is over two thousand years old. A Setite embraced by the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra herself. When Cleopatra was sentenced to death by snake bite she faked her apparent death already being a vampire herself. No longer held by mortal responsibilities the charade was ended. Cleopatra was free to do as she wished. What she chose to do, was sire a childe. A young military officer from Rome she had met through her relationship with Marc Antony had displayed quite an attraction to her, and the Egyptian culture. She took a liking to this officer and embraced him not long after her "official death" Cleopatra was a very important member of their clan, which made things much easier on Horus while learning the ways of the kindred. After the eventual occupation and fall of Egypt Cleopatra and Horus continued to operate within their clan. Business was as usual. Something like this would do nothing to stop the goal of the Setites. Not all was well within Horus' mind though. That initial attraction to his sire he began to feel grow. The emotion of love pulled at him. This troubled Horus greatly. He had to fight this emotion. Ever since he was a teenager and began courting young women he learned that things never worked out the way he wished when it came to that. It was as if he were cursed or something. So for hundreds of years he fought against this emotion. Distancing himself always from his sire. After all he was doing this for her. He couldn't let her get that close to him, otherwise it would end in tragedy. A thousand years past, and then nearly another. It became more and more difficult for Horus to curb his emotions for Cleopatra. He had to get away. Horus saw great opportunities in leaving Egypt and seeking knowledge and power for himself in America. At first his sire forbid him to go. She was used to the near 2 millennia they had shared together. But she had always been lenient with Horus and he was more then experienced, and so she agreed to let him go with her blessing. They would share many things together yet still, just from a distance. Horus' love for Egyptian culture had only found time to grow over the years, and choosing to remind himself of its splendors created a position for himself in New York that would be most comfortable.The great resources he had accumulated for himself were put to use in granting him ownership of the Guggenheim museum. One of his retainers, a figurehead, publicly claims ownership to the place, but it acts as a comfortable haven for Horus in the great crypt he has built underneath the place where he sleeps in an authentic Egyptian sarcophagus surrounded by artifacts from 'home'. Aside from this, he owns an old mansion as well in New York, where he keeps his herd of 7 vessels, which he has cleverly named each one after a particular day of the week. A temple back in Egypt back with his sire is a last place of refuge he claims as well.When out during the night, he dresses in fine Armani suits covered by a long satin overcoat that nearly reaches the ground. When not being chauffeured in his limo to his favorite Toreador run club "The Maze", and hunting ground in the city, he drives there himself in his favorite Italian sports car. Occasionally he will also don the traditional eye makeup of the ancient Egyptians making him stand out in a crowd even more then his usual attire accomplishes. Within these clubs he can most always be found sitting in some dark corner by himself. On occasion though he will speak and have dealings with the few friends he has. But always he keeps to himself, avoiding the yearnings of his non-beating heart, giving nothing more then respect to those he deals with, but never can they have his love or admiration.</blockquote>
