Set

Set (セト, Setto) is the main antagonist of the Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts series. Set is employed as a judge of the laws.

Appearance
It's unknown what beast race Set belongs to, but he has dog-like features much like Anubis has. He wears a formal long sleeved robe with frills, with a belt around the waist. He looks similar to his mother.

Personality
Set appears as a calm individual and handles things, with a calm attitude. He will speak very formal, when speaking. But beneath the calm exterior hides a clever schemer, who holds his true motivations and nature close to his chest. As a member of the beast race, he naturally holds a very negative view towards all other humans in general, but accepts Sariphi's presence, because he made a vow to be loyal towards Leonhart no matter what.

It's strongly hinted to that, Set has a sadistic side that, perhaps enjoys torturing criminals, in order to force a confession, be it a true confession or a made up one and doesn't care if the criminal dies or lives.

Having been misled by his mother for all his life, Set believed himself to be of royal blood, and thus sought to rise in status and even take the throne for himself, believing his supposed royal blood gave him that right. When he thought he uncovered proof that Leonhart was an illegitimate heir, and a half-breed, Set showed his true colors in revealing this truth to the people in order to turn them against Leonhart and remove him from the throne.

However, rather than unite the people, Set imposed new policies to divide them into castes based on their species, segregating the non-mammal Beasts while raising mammal Beasts above them.

When Leonhart, Sariphi, and their allies stopped Set's tyranny and exposed the truth, Set was devastated to learn he was not royal at all because the prior king had been sterile, thus he could not possibly father a child.

Early Life
Set's mother is tells him that, he is a true royal blood. But unbeknownst to Set, the former king was unable to have a child, therefore, his mother signs a fake certificate of authenticity presented, by Capel, Set was not a member of the royal bloodline of Ozmargo.

Plot
As a high judge, Set holds the second highest authority, second only to Leonhart, regarding upholding law and order, and passing judgment on other individuals, who have committed crime, within the palace.

Set was introduced to Sariphi after two hired bandits snuck, into the palace to kill Sariphi's sacred beast, the phoenix, Bennu. He then proclaimed that, the two bandits committed suicide, during interrogation and they most likely wanted to kill Sariphi "just" because she was a human.
