Senmet is a greater mummy. He was raised from the dead by Isu Rehkotep, making use of a potent magical scroll that contained nothing less than Anhktepot's own recipe for the creation of these potent undead. As a young priest of Orisis, Isu had found and attempted to destroy the scroll, but this proved to be beyond her capacities. The scroll gradually corrupted her and brought her into the secret service of Set.
Senmet entered into unlife largely beyond the control of his maker. But rather than destroy her, they entered into a productive working relationship. His goal was to steal Har'Akir from Anhktepot. In this he ultimately failed and was force to flee.
In preparation for his failed coup attempt, Senmet conceived of, and raised, many desert zombies, a linger gift that the people of Har'Akir could have lived without.

Chronology
725 In Har’Akir, Isu Rehkotep (a young priestess of Osiris) discovers a hidden, ancient scroll which details the foul rites to animate one of the Children of Anhktepot. Horrified, she attempts to destroy the scroll, but it will not burn. She hides it away, but the knowledge of its existence slowly corrupts her. [DoD pg. 17; ToD pg. 3]
738 Isu Rehkotep, now converted to the worship of Set, raises the traitorous priest Senmet as one of the living dead. Together, they begin a plot to take control of Har’Akir. [DoD pg. 17; ToD]
738 Senmet recruits the werejackal priests of Anubis to aid him in his plans to usurp control of Har’Akir. However, that very night, a mysterious fire wipes out the entire priesthood, except for the young Abu al Mir. Abu flees, and the Mists transport him to Nova Vaasa. [CotN:W pg. 49]
738 Senmet’s plot to overthrow Anhktepot is foiled; Ankhtepot’s 7th awakening. The third verse of Hyskosa’s Hexad is fulfilled. Senmet survives the failure and flees into the Mists. (Touch of Death). [DoD pg. 17; RRS; MCAI&II]
739 In the wake of Isu’s death during Senmet’s coup attempt, another woman takes Isu’s place as high priestess of Osiris: Snefru. Like Isu, Snefru is secretly truly a servant of Set. [Speculation based on DoD pg. 102]
