Aspect of Amemet
Background
Amemet (also Am-mit, Ammut, etc.) accompanies Anubis (and later Upuaut) in the Hall of Ma'at (Fate) in the Duat, the Egyptian underworld. Her function is to draw unworthy, sinful souls to herself and devour them. She has also been depicted as a protectress of Osiris, the dead king of the Duat.
This being is a spiritual manifestation of an aspect of Amemet - the devourer of sinners - not the god herself, though that's hardly obvious when she's first encountered.
Quote
"Give over your soul, that you may face your proper fate."
Description
Amemet has the head of a crocodile, the body of a lion and the hindquarters of a hippopotamus - all man-eating creatures greatly feared by the Egyptians. She is small for a hippopotamus, but quite large for a lion or crocodile.
Storytelling Hints
Amemet exists as the embodiment of the ultimate threat - total discorporation. She is feared by the living and the dead alike. She knows this.

Ban: For now, she is tied to the sleeping vampire, drawing her Essence through his wound, the gate to the Duat. If her gate is closed, either by destroying the vampire or (less likely) healing the wound, she can no longer draw Essence from the Duat. Until that happens, she gains 1 Essence from through the gate every turn. Also, Amemet cannot harm the truly just. Any mage with a Wisdom of 8+ or a human (or ghost) with Mortality 8+ is immune to any attack from Amemet - unless the character been busy exercising his Vice during this scene.
