Set, sometimes called "Sitesh" or "Seth" is the former ruler of Holy Anubinian Empire and reigned as "Supreme Pharaoh".

Set is the younger son of Ra, the first Anubinian Ruler, and brother of Osiris the Great, who ruled Anubinia after he died in 1086. A civil war began soon after, as Set attempted to lead a coup with a small number of followers, hoping to kill Osiris and claim the throne. But due to the overwelming popularity and the support of General Anubis and the Anubinian Army, the war was shortlived. As his punishment, Set was banished to the far west, appointed as governor of a small city on the western border.

As was until 2051, after Anubinia had reemerged onto the international scene. At the time, Osiris and the Anubinian government had been under enormous amounts of pressure from the international community due to their style of rule. Using the unrest as a backdrop, Set arranged an assassination of Osiris in 2051, making it look like an accidental drunk driver. With his brother gone, the crown passed to Osiris' son, Crown Prince Horus and ruled jointly with General Anubis, head of the military.

But Set was not satisfied until he solely controlled Anubinia, so in 2052, he and the recently deposed Anubis staged a violent coup and killed the young Pharaoh.

After Horus was dead, Set became the sole ruler of Anubinia and Anubis was re-appointed as Commander in Chief of the Anubinian Military.

While ruling over Anubinia, Set took the tyranny of the Empire to new heights, oppressing the citizens without mercy. During the time, Set also heavily built up the Anubinian military, making it one of the largest in PEEL, second only to the MuDeAl nations. Set, along with StarWarsian Emperor Palpatine, founded "The Holy Dominion" alliance, which many believed was an pact created for the conquest of other PEEL nations. In the months that followed, half a dozen nations fell under the control of the Dominion, and in fall of 2052, Yugopatomia declared war on the Dominion (after discovering that they caused a massive blackout in the country months ago). Soon afterward, COMECON and The Coalition also declared war on Anubinia and the Dominion, and a region wide war began.

After months of fighting, Anubinia's army buckled under the immense pressure of overwhelming enemy troops. With Coalition armies almost at the Capital of Luxor, Set fled the country, leaving General Anubis in charge.

The city would soon fall, but the current whereabouts of Set (and a large number of troops) is unknown...
