| I know he's in the NPC's of the Forgotten Realms section of the Epic Level Handbook. Beyond what it says about him in there, I know nothing. |

Chosen of Set?
Never heard of him. Maybe he was a PC or NPC made up by the person. |

Shruppak was an agent of Gilgeam in Unther and is now a free agent, whittling away at invading Mulhorandi.
You are thinking of Hamsetis. He is the ex-Thayan slave who was rumored to have killed a dracolich with a quarterstaff and is currently a member of the fangs of Set.

I stand corrected!
Is he actually a chosen of Set, also? Which source has information on him? |

Ah, the ELH, explains why I didn't recognize the name. Has he been mentioned in anything else? |

Shuruppak is also mentioned in the FRCS, in the Unther section. |

I believe there is more information on both of them in Old Empires. Unfortunately, it is one of many products which I've loaned out over the years and not received back.

| Well that's what i needed a name!! i googled hamsetis and i found this site http://www.hallofhero.com/sand/index.cfm and there's a lot of info on the fangs of set and hamsetis and sure enough he's a 17 fighter/5 assasin and yeah he's the favored of set the site seems to be fanmade but based on the old empires sourcebook so i think is cool, so if you're not just about "canon" i think is a good source for one of the most "forgotten" regions of the FR ;) |

I have that source, but I'm at work at the moment. I just scribed myself a note to check that when I get home. |

here is what the FR10: Old Empires have to say about Shuruppak
quote:
Shuruppak
Wanders
20th-level Fighter/7th-level Mage
NE, Gilgeam
Human male
Shuruppak is referred to as The Reaper in Unther, for his approach is
death. He is a great fighter-mage, clad in black robes, protected by bracers of defense AC 2, who wanders from city to city, killing anyone he feels is an enemy of Gilgeam. Shuruppak is a psychopath prone to fits of extreme violence, known to take his sword to anyone when he is in a bad mood.
When Gilgeam orders him to kill someone, Shuruppak takes a group of
high-level mages and priests in Gilgeamís service with him. He has failed only once when he was ordered to bring in the Enclave; he killed several of the order before he was driven back by the most powerful wizards of that order.
He is currently in Messemprar trying to put down the riots, mostly by
taking hostages and executing them in public until the people quiet down. This strategy has not worked.
Shuruppak wears black robes and a hood adorned with a red skull mask
that covers the top half of his face. It is said that he was horribly scarred in battle long ago, but this is untrue. He has been a figure of dread for so long that he considers himself to be The Reaper.
Shuruppak has been given a number of special powers by Gilgeam. As there are plenty of opportunities for player characters to encounter him, his statistics follow:
AC: -3
HIT POINTS: 135
THAC0: 1
#AT: 3
DMG/ATT: By weapon + 8
SA: Spells
SD: 50% magic resistance, mirror image
(five images) three times per day,
immune to enchantment/charm and
slow spells.
STR 20 (+3, +8) DEX 21 CON 18 INT 16
WIS 17 CHA 16
Shuruppak typically wields a twohanded
sword +3 and wears bracers
of defense, AC 2.

Or maybe someone will beat me to it, and I won't have to look at my books.  |

| Are the stats of Shurrpak in the Epic Handbook the most updated version? |

Yep, although he is listed with the same levels (Fighter 20/Rogue 3/Wizard 7) in the FRCS, he is only statted out in the ELH. |

I don't think anything beyond Old Empires makes much mention of Hamsetis, which is too bad. The Fangs of Set were a nasty bunch and deserve more coverage.
Best bet is whatever information they have on him over at Empire of Sand, one of my favorite sources for Old Empire stuff (and anything else desert related): http://www.hallofhero.com/sand/index.cfm
