'' '''''Rameses II''', also known as Ramses II or Rameses the Great, is probably the most famous warrior-king of ancient Egypt. Although often considered to have been the pharaoh of the Exodus who kept the Hebrews enslaved according to the Bible, there's no actual evidence of this. However, even without considering this, he has at several points been considered a despot and a tyrant, as well as a raving megalomaniac.

He was the son of [http://real-life-villains.wikia.com/wiki/Pharoah_Seti_I ~~Seti~~ I], a pharaoh considered- at least by his people- as noble and kind-hearted. Seti died relatively young, and was succeeded by Rameses who was, according to different authors, between 16 and 20 years old at the time. He was said to be very handsome and to have had reddish hair, an unusual trait amongst ancient Egyptians. Usually in this culture, red hair was associated to the god Seth, who was considered a destructive, dangerous force; apparently, however, Rameses' family were Seth worshippers, and during his reign, Seth was one of Egypt's most important gods.

Said to have been an incredible archer as well as a fine swordsman, and strong enough to wield even the heavy Egyptian war mace (used to crack the skulls of oponents), Rameses was intent on conquering the lands surrounding Egypt that had once been owned by his ancestors, and lost after a time of political turmoil.
