George Ankhaf

George Ankhaf is the Setepnetjer of Shu (Setepenshu) and former head of the Ankhaf family alongside his wife, Brenna McKliff. Son of Jasejem Ankhaf and Ebana Wazad, he is brother to Edmund, Shery and Maia Ankhaf. Father of Neb Hector Ankhaf of Hamunaptra and Jedrick Ankhaf and grandfather of Alukah, Kristopher and Aleixo Ankhaf and Ethan, Alarick and Lyla Ankhaf Egyps. Currently he resides in Mendes, Waset.

He is known for being the first Setepnetjer who was called by his Setjebu and his controversial ascend to the title of Neb Ankhaf after his wife and him accidentally caused the Storm of Hermopolis.

Early Life
George Ankhaf Wazad was born on Famenat 22, 3950, in Khalem, Waset, to the Ankhaf Heir, Jasejem Ankhaf and Ebana Wazad, two years after his older brother, Edmund Ankhaf, was born. Once again, Renenutet and the Seven Hathors appeared to Jasejem and Ebana in their dreams. George was Chosen by Shu, the air and wind god. Renenutet named him "George" for "He Who Works from the Soil", and gave him the Shu amulet. However, he was not gifted with a Son of Horus like Edmund. The Seven Hathors predicted his life to take unexpected turns, and that he would keep a vow on which more than one life would depend. The day of his birth, there was a winter storm in the Sepat of Shu, which was very unlikely due to the fact that it was the season of Shemu in the region. George was the thirdborn Setepnetjer, after Brenna McKliff, born exactly a month earlier.

Although Jasejem and Ebana did announce their second son was also a Setepnetjer, it was not as public as Edmund's. It was much more credible after Brenna's announcement, since she came from a rural lower middle class family with no ties to House Ankhaf, and because of the recurring odd natural events the days they were born. The 50s saw the birth of real Setepnetjeru bringing with them a cultural phenomenon over a faith debate, with believers returning to the Netjeri Faith, wanting to be sparred when the Arising came. Many people across the nation claimed to have a Setepnetjer or Setepnetjeret child, to be later proved as hoaxes.

Two years later George's younger sister Shery Ankhaf was born, and two years after that Maia Ankhaf was born. Since childhood Jasejem made him aware the weight of promises, which caused George to evade making them. In adulthood Jasejem would reveal why.

Marriage and Children
George attended the Thutmose Academy and then the Law School of the Seshat University of Khalem.

He met Brenna McKliff, the Setepnetjeret of Tefnut, since they were teenagers because of them being Setepnetjeru. They started a relationship at 17, and George would travel from Khalem to Mendes, where she lived, just to see her for a couple of hours. He was Brenna's first boyfriend. And it made sense they were drawn to each other, since Shu and Tefnut were a couple in mythology.

In 3969 George got Brenna pregnant, and so he decided to propose to her so they can become a family; something they had been planning after they finished university. A year later they married and after that their son Hector Ankhaf was born, and Chosen by Amun. And two years later, their second and last son, Jedrick Ankhaf, was born, but as a Remetj and not a Setepnetjer.

Jerui and Storm of Hermopolis
In 3974 George would be the first Setepnetjer to be called by his Setjebu in the hidden chambers of Per-Ankhaf. He finished his Jerui successfully, taming the four Cardinal Wind Spirits, and gaining his Was abilities. George wanted to show his powers to the world to confirm the existence of Setepnetjeru, but Edmund advised him not to. Months later it was Brenna's turn, and although she too passed her Jerui and gained her Was abilities, it "shattered her mind" as she described, leaving her with a weak mental state which gave her sudden panic and confusion attacks. George stood by her through the first rough years until she got better and raised his two sons. His wish to show the world Setepnetjeru were real took a backseat.

Two years later, during Edmund's Jerui, taking place in the Djehuty University of Hermopolis, George and Brenna fought against an unknown entity, but because they had not learnt to control their abilities, and because of Brenna's instability, their joined powers caused a tropical storm that severely damaged university buildings and accidentally killed five people. This so-called Storm of Hermopolis became a historical and mediatic change, because people now knew Setepnetjeru were real, but they were really dangerous, and that the end of the world was coming, which lead many people to return to the Netjeri Faith. Most rejected the Setepnetjeru and saw them as threats and monsters. Two years later the Setepnetjeru Law would be imposed by the Senate, which prohibited the Setepnetjeru to use their abilities outside Per-Ankhaf grounds. George and Brenna would make amends for years by making donations, raising foundations, and saving people from natural disasters with their powers. So, their public image became more benevolent.

Neb Ankhaf
In 3983 Edmund retired from his office as Neb Ankhaf and the title passed on to George, who was prepared for the part. George only served for 15 years, and then abdicated to let his son Hector become Neb Ankhaf, who fought for Setepnetjeru rights.

His wife would suffer multiple miscarriages throughout her life, many after she already had her two sons. This was due to the majority of them being ectopic pregnancies, and one of them almost killed her, as the embryo was growing bigger. The biological reason of why that happen to her was never fully clarified, but she always put the blame on the "shattering" her Jerui gifted her. Unfortunately, her wish with George to have a daughter was never accomplished.

George had many grandchildren: Ethan, Alarick and Lyla Ankhaf Egyps from Hector's side, and Alukah, Krstopher and Aleixo Ankhaf from Jedrick's. He also raised together with his sibling their niece, Theresa Ankhaf, Maia's daughter, after she was put into a mental institution.

George and Brenna retired and currently live on the countryside, in Mendes, Waset, on Brenna's family farm.
