Horus is a god of the Twelve, the old pantheon of Archontos, whose function is justice and order; excluded from the official faith by the Decadian reform, he survives as a god of the Old Faith and through his descendants.

The god of the Old Faith
The Twelve of the Mithric age are remembered as very Egyptian: Thoth first and foremost, Wadjet the cobra goddess, Isis, Anubis, Osiris, Set, and a sun god adapted as Yelmalio, with Mesopotamian oddities such as Tiamat. “Archontean” ties him to Archontos, seat of the Great Basilica. The Decadian reform reduced the Twelve to the Ten; those left out passed to clandestine rural shrines. Orthodox priests such as Father Belias embrace the Ten without asking about the Twelve.
Descendants
Latea (Alatea) is his daughter and the Apkalu of the records: a white-haired, eagle-headed woman who guards the akashic plane. The sword on her wall is a family heirloom.
The four sons of Horus appear as the small faces carved on the lids of the platinum canopic jars holding the remains of fallen companions.
The hand in the chest
Someone in the company — probably Lotario — says he cut off Horus’s hand and keeps it in a chest; he took it before Horus attempted his death in the Tower of Paris.
”A Horus”
On reaching the sanctuary of the Positive Energy Plane, the record says “a Horus”: «un Horus puede ayudarlos, aunque ese llore sea tan poderoso» (“a Horus can help them, though that [llore] be so powerful”), beside a proposal that the Regulators become Apkallus to preserve knowledge. Here Horus reads as an office one can become.
