Imhotep

Imhotep

Leonardo DaVinci, Dr. Handsome, Immy

Memphis, Thebes, Philae—all over

Civil engineer (world's first, mind you) and Chief of Staff at Thebes Medical Center. I am the original Renaissance man—way before the actual Renaissance. I've also spent time as a poet, priest, scribe, vizier, and Chief Minister to Pharaoh Djoser.

I went to medical school with Thoth and learned by being a genius.

Monarchist—I owe my position to the king, after all.

None. I'm an only child.

Rahotep… maybe.

Djoser, scholars, doctors—you know, smart people

Looters, Seth (since he represents destruction of all good stuff), diseases

Married to Ronfrenofert —probably. Either that or just my work.

Ladies, but only healthy ones. And working. I'm always interested in working.
