History
Set, also spelled Seth or Seteh, is a deity from Egyptian mythology. Set is the deity of deserts, storms and chaos and served as one of the greatest deities in Egyptian myth. Set was married to the goddess Isis who was also his sister. He killed and dismembered his brother Osiris out of jealousy. Isis reassembled him and Osiris became the ruler of the dead. Isis gave birth to Osiris's child, Horus, who became an enemy of Set. In later myths, Set fought Apep each night as Ra journeyed through the underworld.

Set had been demonized to some extent, and the Greeks interpreted him to be a force of evil, which may be one of the reasons he is viewed as an antagonistic force in the original novels.
