Senmet is a greater mummy. He was awakened from his slumber and bound into service by Isu Rehkotep, making use of a potent magical scroll that contained nothing less than Anhktepot's own recipe for the creation of the Children of Anhktepot. As a young priest of Osiris, 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.[1]
Senmet was fact only minimally bound by Isu Rehkotep. But rather than destroy her, he entered into a productive working relationship with the cleric. His goal was to steal Har'Akir from Anhktepot. In this he ultimately failed and was force to flee.[1]
In preparation for his attempted coup attempt, Senmet conceived of, and raised, many desert zombies, a linger gift that the people of Har'Akir could have lived without.
Senmet's desire to conquer a domain may take him to Sebua or Kalidnay.[2]
