'he who worships his mother'

Description

named after one of the four sons of horus, this is duamutef, bel's younger brother. duamutef means 'he who worships his mother', and since this guy takes very much after his mum, and egypt was a Big Deal when he was born, it fits. (you all might know duamutef as the jackal-headed canopic jar, which guards the stomach, if i recall correctly)

SO YEAH, this guy coincidentally reminds a lot of people of anubis. that's really where the similarities end. he isn't actually egyptian, nor is he a benevolent embalmer of souls or... whatevs. he's the brother bel doesn't get to see very much, nor do they talk very often. duamutef takes over for their mother a lot of the time, since she likes to bugger off and do her own thing mostly.

duamutef is... well... he's very different from bel. unlike bel, he has little to no compassion or empathy for humans (or any other species); he wasn't raised in a human tribe like bel was. he doesn't seem to have any children, either-- mostly because he makes a habit of killing off his offspring. he's also exceedingly fond of blood offerings, sacrifice, and the like.
