Old time religion: Seker, god of light, is cousin to Shu, god of the sky. He appears as an ordinary man but he can change shape at will. He casts shafts of light from his hands that kill any undead they touch. (Jeff Dee, "Egyptian Mythos" section of AD&D Deities & Demigods, TSR, 1980)

Some Egyptian Mythology character design sketches

It's kind of funny how SG-1 killed off Set early on as a villain-of-the-week and so when they needed a Satan-substitute villain in later seasons they had to settle for a chump god like Seker.

They didn't even try and rationalize it as "obscure minor goa'uld tries to rebrand as the Christian devil to gain some credibility," they were just like "Sokar was always a satanic archetype, maybe even the first one," which if anything describes Set or Apophis/Apep a lot better.

A sketch for my second Shadow Theater blog. Seker (also spelled Sokar, and in Greek, Sokaris or Socharis) is a hawk or falcon god of the Memphite necropolis in the Ancient Egyptian religion, who was known as a patron of the living, as well as a god of the dead.He is also in some accounts a solar deity as for The Temple of Seker in Memphis.

An emissary of Sokar reminds you that even in the coldest depths of night, gifts await you...

Sokar (Seker, Sokaris) is an Ancient Egyptian god of the necropolis, resurrection, craftsmanship, and agriculture, Who is frequently syncretized with Ptah and Osiris and often depicted with His barque. Sokar's domain is the underworld and the night, and He helps protect Ra in His nightly travels there. He strikes me as distant, mysterious, and admittedly a bit unsettling.
