First Prophet Sebti
Lector Wa-'eb of Ades from Keruma
While her modest title notes being just the head of the Ades church in Keruma, she is in fact the First Prophet to Ades, the highest ranking cleric in all of Khemit. She moved to Keruma to watch over the manufacture of funeral goods and to manage the Necropolis of Wati as it contains The Guiding Spire, one of the holiest sites for Ades.
Sebti is atypical, looking for opportunities to make a profit in the name of Ades with fees for pilgrimages and burials. she also has influence over the elders, keeping the other Waeb from establishing more than a small temple in Keruma.
When Pharaoh Psamtik II suggested the opening of the necropolis to essecially grave robbers, she refused. Psamtik however was more cunning, appealing to her "financial side" in offering the church a share of the profits.
