In his symbolic form as A’an (a dog-faced baboon), he presides over the judgement of the dead, and souls who fear they might not pass through safely may call upon Thoth for help. In 1995, Xanatos sent the Emir and the Pack (by this time Jackal, Hyena, Wolf, and Coyote 3.0) to Egypt, to summon up Anubis in a secret. The revelation as to its true nature has caught the attention of conservationists because the animal is unprotected by law in Egypt at the time of this articles writing. Nevertheless, it is believed that Anubis had been consistently even-handed with his duties before and during his banishment. The Egyptian jackal is the only wolf belonging to the gray wolf family to be found in the African continent. His role is that of the scribe who has kept accounts of the life of the soul of the deceased, and he also records the outcome of the weighings of the heart against the feather of truth. In 995, Anubis was banished from Avalon alongside the rest of the Third Race by Oberon in order to learn humility.

In the afterlife, Thoth appears often at the side of Anubis (his old pal Mr Jacquel) and Osiris in the Hall of Truth. He wrote down everything that happened and reported it to the sun god Ra (later Horus) every morning. Thoth created the written word and the literary arts, and is credited with inventing hieroglyphics, both for humans and the gods. In Ancient Egpytian, the heiroglyphic for the god Thoth is an ibis on a perch. In fact, ibises were sometimes mummified and buried with the dead. The ibis is a long-legged wading bird with a long, curved bill, considered sacred by the Ancient Egyptians.

He was sometimes depicted as a baboon, or more famously as a man with the head of an ibis (hence “Mr Ibis”, of course). Thoth dates back to 6000-3150 BC, making him one of the oldest deities of the Ancient Egyptians.
