I alwas toyed the idea, in the story of Saint George and the Dragon it was a Mokolé, not a Tzimisce
But Europe had a very nice Bat population too if I remember correctly, went extinct sure... (Thanks to the old misunderstanding of the Tzimsice Chirpateran marauder forrm and the Shadow Lord's bad experience)
...or hybernated like the Gurahl (bats)
The Xibalan cropped up in every Camazotz community around the globe... maybe they contributed to the bats bad reputation...

I think both could work
Set was - among many other titles - the the Ruler of the Desert, Lord of the Red Land (the red colored desert, Khem, the fertile land around the Nile was the Black Land, domain of Horus and Osiris) The Lord of All Outside Egypt
Depending of the Cult's focus, their Temple could be a harsh, desolate place and the cult members are a bit Fight Club stlye, people who had enough, or who want to escape the weakening "Civilization"
A temple in a desolate location could be the headquarter / traning ground of "apocalypse preppers", Warrior Settites,...

I yearn for the good old days, when Ishtar, the bull-dancer (and Arikel, the sculptor) was the Antediluvian and inveted the art of bull-dancing, aka. Bull-leaping a types of non-violent bull fighting, and passed down and witch later became the base of the ancient ritual in the Minoan civilization involving an acrobat leaping over the back of a charging bull (or cow).
Those were the days...

Or even "live" there
The Mokolé - who are very relucant when it comes to traveling to the Dark Umbra because of the the Innocents - even have Totem of them

The Lost Ones
The cycle of life means that new species evolve into a position in nature, persist, and pass away. The Triat's work has adorned Gaia with millions of species over millions of years. But some species pass before their time. Wiped out by disasters, the Works of the Dissolver, or human evil, they persist in the Shadowlands as ghost totems. Mokolé mourn these lost species, many known only to them,...

Maybe, but like how Malfeas gladitorial pits have Specter fighters, I guess the same could be true with the Banes in the Dark Umbra
Maybe a group of Specter abducted the Bane (or if you closer to East, the Yin Aspected Yama Kings regularyl employ/abduct Banes to use them)...

Let's unpack this, shall we?
What kind of Ravenants?
One of the Tzimisce Families (Bratovitch, Grimaldi , Obertus, Zantosa)? The Bratovitches are depraved brutes, the Zantosa are temptaton incarnate amd the Obertus family is alien enough... only maybe the Grimaldi are "normal" I'm asking this, because, derangement is an option; Cthulhu-sytle, facing how and what the Humans could become potentially coul crush some one's mind or spirit or both - especially if he spent time with them...
Other options are:
D'habi: An ancient revenant family owned by the Baali bloodline...

It is not that impossible to find place the Nagaraja in V5 - even with a bit of strech of logic, the Heakata
The Nagaraja originated in a magical tradition, the Chakravanti (the Tradition of Chakravat was a fellowship of Indian eath mages, who later became part of a larger Tradition. The core notion in the Chakravanti philosophy is the Wheel of Fate, upon which the entire multiverse turns. The three cosmic mechanisms which keep the Wheel turning (when the three are in balance) are Dynamism, Stasis, and Entropy, and as a collective the mechanisms are called the Metaphysic Trinity. Theists...

I'm not sure on that one
To become a Wight your Humanity or Path of Enlightenment needs to be fallen to the rating of 0.
Now an 10K+ years old (I know, I know, but for the sake of the argument, lets pretend all of them at least this old) Antediluvian long ago left its Humanity behind and probably predate any Path or Road - I wouldn't be surprised if they would have their own Path of the Antediluvian to reflect their alien mind
But lets say, even if the Ravnos Antediluvian was on a Path, probably it wasnt the Mayaparisatya (Eastern Path of Paradox) , since its first tenent is...

I do agree, the description is a bit... bland
But in the meantime it gives you creative freedom
The "Hell of Apophis" is a very interesting thing for example - it will be long, but if you are interested, hope it will helps
The concept of hell in the ancient Egyptian religion is very similar to those of our modern religions. Those who were judged unfavorably faced a very similar fate to our modern concept of hell, and perhaps even more specifically to the more Middle Age concept of it as a specific region beneath the earth. For the damned, the entire, uncontrollable...

According of Mummy: The Ressurection p 199.:
Unlike Amenti, though, the soul of a Bane Mummy descends directly in to the hell of Apophis upon its host's death, to be vomited forth when its master has need of it once more

Emperor Joker, The Scarlet Witch, Proteus, The Shaper of Worlds, Mad Jim Jaspers... all reality shapers, and what have in common?
They were all defeated

I think the Followers of Set are quite pragmatic when it comes to the Bane Mummies
Especially the older ones who have genuine faith and the old relegion
When your rooster of gods contains such deities, like Ahti, Goddess of disorder, fear, and chaos who was depicted with the head of a wasp on the body of a hippopotamus (needless to say the ancient Egyptians believed that Ahti was a very spiteful goddess.... gee I wonder why)? You don't expect much from the brood of Apep, even if your boss made them




Looking forward to it!...

Fro mthe top of my head, I had severals, but the most memorable are:
My Salubri Warrior who had a Garou friend; they were childhood buddies, then got separated; the Garou first changed and he got Embraced and met again when had the same target; basically back bumped to each other fighting very nasty things with Klaive and flaming sword, turned and locked blade, then the wolf recognized my Salubri
My Settite befriended a Cappadocian and regularly had neat conversations about relegion and the nature of faith and death and afterlife
My quasi-independent on and off Camarilla Tzimisce...

Ok.... swallowed again by the forum... lets try again -.-

Personally I tend to give Sutekh (and the Settite) a Kuei- Jin twist, so to speak
The story is basically in most of the Settite Lore, he came back from Duat (then went back there after that little... incident in 33 AD, in a few Gehenna scenario He is chilling there)
Duat is... not the nicest place, it is literally Hell if you don't cheat your way thrugh it, filled with darkness, silence, sand, snakes, demons and quite nasty things even the Sun God have to fight and Mandjet, the Boat of Millions of Years needs...

For some reason, forum swallowed my post, like Ammit the souls...
Let's try again!



The funny thing is, most of the mythologies Wepwawet, the wolf headed War God (from Nephthys), his brother Anpu/Anubis, the Jackal god of funerary rites, protector of graves, and guide to the underworld (from Nephthys) and their half-brother (from Neith - She was said to be the first and the prime creator, who created the universe and all it contains, and that she governs how it functions. She was the goddess of the cosmos, fate, wisdom, water, rivers, mothers, childbirth, hunting,...

Ammit is good example
But Tutu was an egyptian god for example too son of Neith, a Lion with a human head, wearing the Double Feather crown, the Solar Disk and Ram Horns. Originally the protector of tombs, Tutu later guarded the sleeping from danger or bad dreams.

Sad but ture
They are in the MtR version is a bit... B category villains
But then again, the Amenti in MtR are not the Avanger-type heroes either
Anyhow, personally I think Imhotep from the Mummy franchise is what a Bane Mummy should be like, but that is just my two deben...

Actually in Mummy: The Resurrection Rulebook, p. 201-202 there is a nice description of them:

Amam, the Devourer
In life, Amam was evidently a pirest of Set, a corrupt being who lived on the fat of the fellahin and amassed vast wealth an power through graft and blackmail. Such was his reputation that, upon death, he was selected to be one of the Apepnu
Now Amam serves the Great Serpent as a scout, "repo man" and assassin. His unique physiognomy ensures that little remains of his victims. He has remarkably acute senses of smell and hearing (Preception 4, Alertness...
