Anubis

Anubis: The only thing I ever feared was what I saw in your heart. I tested you. And you failed. Selket: I failed? You were the one who turned tail and ran. Anubis: Your power-mad family arranged our marriage. But I didn't cared about that. I loved you. I left the Tournament to see what you wanted more: an emperor, or a husband. —To Selket 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.

Tropes related to him:

• An Offer You Can't Refuse: Subverted. In the finals' aftermath, a Liandri officer convinces him to both resurrect Selket via the highly expendable Necrification process and to fight in the main Tournament.

Liandri officer: It needn't end this way. She needn't end this way. Not even the Nakhti emperor can afford the Necris process. Anubis: But you could... is that what you mean? Liandri officer: Exactly. You keep winning, we keep paying. Anubis: A Deal with the Devil.

• Anti-Hero: Averted. Unlike the series' standard, he follows the rules all the time and his ways aren't so much out of what the Rites are composed of, even when facing Selket.
• Arranged Marriage: Was about to get one with Selket before the events of the game, but refused.
• Bald of Awesome
• Bash Brothers: With Sobek.
• Collision Damage: His "Energy Burst" adrenaline combo summons an energy eruption which damages nearby enemies.

• The Hero
• My Greatest Failure:

"I've failed you once before, forefathers. Forgive me. But do not forgive their sacrilege. I will make you proud."

• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Nice job killing your beloved for the sake of the Rites.

"I was here to stop her, not to win. And now I've lost everything."

• Screw the Money, I Have Rules: A variant. Before the quarterfinals, he's offered to join Thunder Crash, thus avoiding all the posterior drama, something he rejects because of his own mission. He ends subverting this in the end.
• Secret Character: Beat the Ascension Rites to unlock both him and his Ladder.
• Status Buff: His "Warrior Spirit" adrenaline combo, combined with X-Ray Vision.
