Sutekh

"You're going to creep out the girl."

Sutekh is the first prince of the Dawn Kingdom and Vikram's eldest brother. He was the original heir of Saroch, however, it was his younger brother Vikram that ended up inheriting this mantle — a decision that would lead the two brothers to fight against each other.

As each of the Seven Kings has a lieutenant or deputy, Sutekh serves as this for Vikram, while plotting against him.

Appearance
In his true ʻIfrīt form, Maryam remarks that he resembles an ancient Egyptian golden jackal with glowing eyes.

In his human form, he looks similar to his younger brother, with long, blond hair tied back neatly. He has sharp, golden eyes and has red tattoos decorating his chest. He lines his eyes in red kohl.

Personality
Outwardly, Sutekh acts as a strict, stern and outspoken man. He can come off as harsh, but kindly exasperated towards his family. He attempts to keep his younger brother in line and acting "properly."

Maryam first met him, she asked whether if he was angry at Vikram for taking the position that was long promised to him. However, Sutekh simply smiled as said that he was alright with it since their Lord Uncle decreed it. Besides, Vikram was simply more deserving of it.

Inwardly, however, Sutekh is a cruel and cold person, driven by jealousy at the title that was "stolen" from him. Sutekh said he held no love for Maryam but deep down there was a great possibility that he did love her.

Trivia

 * Sutekh or Seth was the Egyptian god of chaos, disorder and violence. His name means "pillar."
 * Sutekh has the ability to control snakes and has a number of underlings who are snake spirits.

Maryam Arslanova
At first, Sutekh dislikes her, thinking her a foolish human, but then he starts to warm up to her and accept her. Because she is the Sīna Heiress, he both respects her and knows that he will have to marry her if he is to become the next "Golden-One." It is suspected that he genuinely loves her as well, as even though he will speak harshly to his brother and others around him, he always lowers his speech and speaks gently to her.

Quotes

 * "Remember little brother, mine. Even if you see something, act like you do not. Even if you hear something, act like you did not. And even if you want something...act like you do not."
