Horus the Avenger

Henry Farrow

When his uncle Set the Destroyer possessed a hapless mortal conjurer and threatened to spread darkness across the human world, Horus, the Avenger of His Father, petitioned great Ra to go to the mortal realm and do battle with Set. In accordance with the Pact, Ra would only grant his permission if Horus found a mortal willing to host his divine essence. Otherwise, the gods of Heliopolis would not interfere.
So it was that archeologist Henry Farrow discovered a hidden chamber in the Valley of Kings, untouched by human hands for millennia. Within, he found the mighty Ankh of the Avenger and the incantation:
“Horus, Avenger, Lord of Light Grant me now your godly might Let we two do what is right Banish evil into the night!”
With those words, meek Henry Farrow was transformed ... into the avatar of the Avenger! The newly reborn Horus initially suffered some memory loss due to a curse laid by Set as a trap for any of his fellow gods who might try and stop him. In spite of this handicap, Horus overcame various foes, regained his true identity, and stopped Set from plunging the world into eternal darkness.
When Henry Farrow returned to Freedom City, Horus went with him, and the immortal Avenger remained an active hero in the city for some years. Although he worked with The Freedom League on occasion, Horus preferred to operate alone, and turned down offers of League membership.
With Lord Set’s eventual defeat and imprisonment in the Egyptian underworld, Horus returned to the otherworldly realm of Heliopolis, the home of the Egyptian gods. Henry Farrow returned to his calling as an archeologist full-time, benefiting from both lasting vitality and an unmatched knowledge of Egyptology. He still travels the world, although spends most of his time in Cairo, where he aids in the government’s historical preservation efforts.
