- To near the end of the Ascension Rites.

"Voiced by: Dameon Clarke"

"The main character of Unreal Championship 2, Anubis is a prince of the illustrios Reydi family, whose ancestors include 14 former Nakhti Emperors. Favored to win the tournament ten years ago, Anubis left on the eve of the competition. Some say he was a coward; others speculate that political scheming forced him from the tournament. He has served in the Desert Legion for over a decade, honing his combat skills and revealing none of his secrets."

"In the game, he signs up for the Ascension Rites (now sponsored by the Liandri Corporation) with his friend Sobek, in order to stop Selket from becoming the Empress and thus condemning the Nakhti citizens to slavery in the hands of the Liandri Corporation."
