Egyptian Guard

The Egyptian Guard is a minor antagonist in the Prince of Egypt and one of the key factors in bringing about Moses' transformation from one of Egypt's royalty to God's chosen defender of the Hebrew people.

The Egyptian Guard was a cruel taskmaster whose job was to work Hebrew slaves to exhaustion, armed with a fearsome whip he likely served his empire for a number of years and worked the slaves towards the grand goals of the Phaorah.

However one day the guard would go too far and began to mercilessly whip an elderly slave to the point that Moses became outraged at the needless cruelty and attempted to intervene : Moses first tried to order the guard to stop but the guard was confused and continued his abuse regardless, this angered Moses and he tried to physically stop the guard.

This would prove deadly as Moses accidentally killed the guard in the process and in a mixture of horror and confusion fled Egypt despite Rameses attempting to clear his brother of all wrong-doing.

The guard's death would come back to haunt Moses many years later when he returned to Egypt under God's command - with Ramseses' high-priests stating Moses should be put to death for the murder : however Rameses makes good on his years-old promise to Moses and publically clears him of any wrong-doing.
