Set

Brother and murderer of Osiris, husband of Nephthys, enemy of Horus; the Greek writers call him Typhon and Plutarch records that "the Egyptians regularly call Typhon Seth". Born by bursting through his mother's side, red-haired, linked with the ass, crocodile and hippopotamus, he is drought and the sea to the interpreters and "the god of evil" to Budge.
