Biography[]
When Set takes over Egypt, he has Urshu become his chief architect and right hand man. He, in turn, has Bek's love, Zaya, become his servant. But when Urshu finds out that Bek stole Horus's left eye due to Zaya's help, he kills her while she and Bek are fleeing from him.
Urshu later accompanies Set when he orders his minions to kill Horus and Bek before they stop him. In the final battle, he and Bek fight each other on a collapsing building, during which Bek throws Urshu off it to his death, thus avenging Zaya before she is even revived.
