Short Description: A man who used to be a god, but lost most of his powers, together with the ability to travel to the Underworld. He still feels the need to stay close to the dead.

Age: Thousands of years, but sounding anything between 20-35.

Background: Hikmat wasn’t a god at first. He was the master-embalmer in Egypt, and his extraordinary skills caused others to admire, and even worship him. Eventually, they started to view him as something more than human, and their belief transformed him into an immortal being. He was able to travel to the Underworld and truly weight the hearts of the dead.

Gradually, Egypt became a different place and people’s belief in gods disappeared. Hikmat remained immortal, but he could no longer travel to the Land of the Dead. He still sees it when he closes his right eye.

Personality: Calm and collected, even cold at times. He’s especially detached when he focuses on something. It's not easy to get close to him.

Hikmat is proud and dignified, but has a morbid sense of humor (when you get to know him better). Sometimes, he can be sarcastic.

He’s fascinated with the afterlife and everything that’s connected to it. He likes to talk about accidents, calamities, funerals and decay. He dabbles in alchemy and maintains a garden in the mansion.

Role: Until you get to know him better,Hikmat’s lines are quite short. We’re looking for someone able to deliver these short lines in an engaging way and make the most of their meaning.

Voice: Please deliver your best interpretation of a kind of voice that would suit a former god.
