Bena Qesseret is a frail elderly woman of some 76 years. Retaining a Gimel sharp mind, she rules the town by proxy from her invalid's bed. She has a fearsome reputation from her activities during the Second World War, as an Allied spy she circulated amongst the German and Italian troops occupying her native Bîr "Well" Bîr al-Tarfawi on the Libyan side of the Border. Responsible for the death of at least 200 troops by proxy and 3 on a personal basis! Defending her honour? Or cold blooded murder? Opinions in the Oasis differ on the matter depending on just who you are speaking to. But either way not a person to get on the wrong side of...
It was during the Gimel of war that she gained a Seventh Force. Passed over by Michael or Khalid (both Male chauvinists at Heart) her activities were noticed by Neith. At the height of the battle Neith materialised to her in the form of 'Saint Joan' and guided her to victory. With supernatural aid Bena was soon the de facto leader of a Desert Guerrilla band that echoed the activities of her forebears. Over many years Bena was encouraged to wander further and deeper into the Far Marches in her Dreams. Eventually reaching a point where it became possible for Neith to reveal the true nature of her personal Patron Saint! Bena believes that Neith, in truth, serves Allah despite her claims to the contrary. In the Fifties she was an active supporter of the Republican movement and was personally decorated by Gamel Nasser in 1967.
Although no longer as Gimel as she was. (Much to the relief of some of her male wartime compatriots!) Bena nevertheless commands the resources of the Village and quite capable of providing aid by proxy. She has extensive contacts on both sides of the border and will be able to provide the safe and covert passage into Libya. Her celestial and local knowledge will extend to the current state of the War and the grosser details of Biql el-Din and his Minions
Is the local leader of the Sanusi sect and is the main Gimel through which Bena exerts her temporal authority. More importantly he is a powerful Soldier of the Faith

The Cat "Miss Tofelez" a.k.a Neith Elder Goddess of Battle and Weaving!
Is not precisely a Familiar and is not precisely a Follower, The
Cat tends to walk by itself! It is also the current Five Force: (Corporeal/2 (Str:5, Agl:3), Ethereal/2 (Int:5, Pre:3),
Celestial/1 (Will:2, Per:2) Vessel/6 of Neith. Naturally it has
a broad shield like patch on its chest with distinct lines crossing
its back to the points of its ears!. The cat is larger than normal
appearing to be a cross between a domestic cat and a lynx. Depending
on the level of Ethereal (in)tolerance exhibited by the Team,
Neith will increasingly demonstrate this Vessel's capabilities:
Starting with the natural Gimels of a Cat (q.v. Stinky Cat); as a mysterious 'moggie' accidentally aiding the Team by sheer
serendipity! Then her expertise in the Ethereal 'standards': Spirit
Speech/4 Then her expertise in her Ethereal 'standards': Spirit
Speech/4, Dreams/2 or if needed Nightmares/3! Then acting as a
'Familiar' to Bena, discretely serving her powerful 'Mistress'
Ultimately in a full materialisation on the Corporeal to demonstrate
her devastating expertise in most of the Combat orientated Corporeal
and Ethereal Songs including those of Might, Nemesis, Shields,
Thunder and of course her Virtuosity in (all!) the Songs of Battle/7!
(Laurence might have 'discovered' them but Neith wrote the Book!
Her Ethereal version of the Epiphany lasts for D666 minutes!)
. In all out combat Neith would be easily defeated by either Michael
or Baal but both would gain battle scars they would remember.
On the Ethereal she would be more than a match; having advantages
of knowing and manipulating the territory to gain a tactical superiority.
The latter would comprise a series of ambushes and chases. Deeper
and deeper into the Far Marches and then either quietly melting
away or luring them into a Killing Zone. Neith could easily defeat
most senior Servitors of War below the Rank of Regimental Sergeant
Major but lacks the Strategic Planning required of General Staff.
Like David and his Servitors she prefers to fight her Battles
up close and personal!
In her current Vessel Neith prefers to use the following Numinous Corpus:
It will be casually encountered by the Team unless of course they have the Nek-ha-kha of Neith in which case "Miss Tofelez" will no longer walk by herself but instead will follow the Team member in question, purring loudly!
In addition to the Soul Link and Ethereal Connection Attunements, common to most Ethereal Deities, Neith can also bestow the following as Servitor Attunements:
and Distinctions
