Ptolemy
A general of Alexander the Great. After Alexander died Ptolemy took over and tried to mix Greek and Egyptain religion. He declared himself a god-king, like the pharaohs.

His work led to the rise of Serapis and paved the way for Setne, who perfected it.- The Ghost: He's been dead since 283 B.C.

Serapis
Originally a minor village god, but then Ptolemy found him and made him the new supreme god of ancient Alexandria
through the use of various Greek and Egyptian rituals. As more people grew to believe in him he became more powerful; which allowed him to drain and replace the other gods. Once the Ptolemaic dynasty fell though his cult ended up forgotten and he disappeared until Setne awakened him. Now he's trying to take steal back the power he originally took from the other gods and build a new Alexandria.- Cool Crown: Though it looks more like flowerpot according to Annabeth, a modius is technically a type of crown or headdress.

- The Dragon: To Setne, a bit unwillingly.
- Dragon with an Agenda: He doesn't care for Setne's plans and is instead trying to take over and build a new great city that mirrors ancient Alexandria.

When I deposed of both Osiris and Zeus, Isis was forced to serve me. Now I will use you as a gateway to summon her here and bind her. Isis will once again be my queen!"

- Mana Drain: But only to Greek and Egyptian magic or essence.
- No-Sell: To Greek or Egyptian related powers.
- The Starscream: Implied that he would turn to this if Setne actually somehow manages to becomes a god, since both want to rule the world.

Serapis's Staff
Serapis's staff is exactly as the name would imply, it is Serapis's staff. It was first seen in the series in two pieces; one with the upper bodies of a gray wolf and lion stuck to a hermit crab shell and piece looking like a black labrador retriever with its hind legs and tail replaced with a calcified tadpole tail. Both Annabeth Chase and Sadie Kane for a time manage to keep the two separate, but ultimately fail and rediscover them now both fully fuzed together becoming a fully restored staff. They were previously three different pieces to a statue until they were brought back to life by Setne. The lion piece was originally a artifact in a museum, wolf piece was originally in some sort of shop (presumed to be a antique shop) and dog piece was originally in Brooklyn House being studied. According to Serapis the staff was made by turning Cerberus into it. Its three heads represent the past, present and future note . When Annabeth killed the dog portion of the staff, she destroyed both the staff and Serapis.- Anthropomorphic Personification: Each head represents either the past, present or future.
- The dog head was revealed to represent the future.
- Living Weapon: Has the upper bodies of a lion, wolf and a dog, with all of them fuzed at the base of what looks like a conical shell; which is actually a staff.
- Magic Staff: Is used as such by Serapis.
- Mana Drain: Like its master; being around the dog head made Annabeth feel weak.
- Multiple Head Case: Implied, Annabeth even gets the lion and wolf heads to fight each other briefly."Mr. Lion! How can you say that about Mr. Wolf?"
- Our Monsters Are Weird: Aside from also being a Living Weapon in the form of a staff, it has the upper bodies of a lion, wolf and a dog all sticking out of a staff; which resembled a shell.
- What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: Annabeth actually has a hard time killing the dog head portion of the staff because it's the least threatening head and reminds her of many friendly pets she's known.
