Anubis

Background

Majal Hepsha always had a knack for crime. As a young boy in Egypt, he learned the craft of pickpocketing and used it to his advantage. When older, he transitioned from taking pocket change to "procuring" art and artifacts. A client once attempted to skip paying, and Majal extracted his fee in blood. He then took a piece of the former client's collection, which turned out to be the Mask of Anubis, a magical artifact tied to the Egyptian god of death.

Upon discovering the Mask's magical nature, Majal had it fashioned into a helmet and incorporated it into his armor. He was then given the moniker "Anubis", due to both his stylized helmet and his tendency to deal death to those who wrong him.
