Biography of Adrian Nekhet

“Order is a myth written by those afraid of the dark. I am the footnote they forgot to erase.”

Adrian Nekhet, known to some by his ancestral name Apep, is the exiled shadow of the Nekhet dynasty—unspoken in courtrooms, unwritten in official genealogies, but ever-present in the cracks of control. In the 21st century, he moves through the world under the name Adrian Pophis, a charismatic hedge fund operator whose true business is the orchestration of global chaos. Beneath the shell corporations and investment fronts lies a technoccult cult of disruption—a serpent cult of viral misdirection, economic sabotage, and engineered spiritual collapse.

He is charming in the way serpents are—still, calculating, and magnetic. He wears darkness like it was tailored for him, often dressed in iridescent blacks that shimmer like molted scales. His eyes change color with his emotions—mercurial, unreadable, dangerous. Every word he speaks feels rehearsed, like a prophecy echoing back from a future he’s already corrupted.

Locked away in a digital prison forged by Thoth after a metaphysical battle of law and entropy, Adrian isn’t physically free—but his influence leaks through the seams of cyberspace, dreamscapes, and decaying algorithms. Through rogue AI and dark networks, he infects truth with distortion, floods systems with misbelief, and sows dissent among the most loyal of Nekhet operatives. His vendetta is personal: he believes his brother, Raymond Nekhet (Ra), usurped the throne of cosmic order. And now Adrian wants to tear it down piece by piece.

Adrian was born to Khaled Nekhet (Atum/Khnum) and Nadeen Nekhet (Neit), a pairing of creation and war. He carries both traits but has twisted them into inversion—preferring destruction over genesis, fear over faith. He is the estranged husband of Tessa Retwan (Taweret), a protective spirit once sworn to guard children and mothers. Some say she remains devoted. Others say she was his first prisoner.

There are few who willingly speak his name aloud. But in the quiet corners of the world—in anarchist forums, corrupted temples, encrypted scrolls, and rogue data clouds—the Serpent Prophet waits, whispering that every empire must eat itself eventually.
