The Pharaoh is the current ruler over Menaphos. He is an unseen character and mentioned in several quests.

Reign

In the early second century of the Fifth Age, the Pharaoh of Menaphos established a peace pact with the Emir of Al Kharid, although hostility still remains. At an unknown period of time, the Menaphite Leader trying to overthrow the Pharaoh while under the influence of Amascut was unsuccessful and exiled.

The gates of Menaphos, originally believed to be opened after the Menaphos - Al-Kharid war, remains sealed due to the many plagues set by the Amascut to the neighbouring city of Sophanem. As a consequence, Sophanem and Menaphos was immediately put under quarantine and no Sophanites are allowed to leave the town nor enter Menaphos. With recent reports showing that Menaphos is cutting off ocean-based trade in the Southern Sea, it may suggest that the Pharaoh has decided to seal the city permanently and attempting to establish autarky.

During Stolen Hearts, Menaphos has made attempts to put one of their own leaders on the throne of Al-Kharid under the guise of offering stability to the city as the Emir is ill and his son, Ali, is missing in action. It is unknown to what extent the Pharoah is aware of Amascut's involvement throughout Stolen hearts and Diamond in the Rough.

Not much is known about the Pharaoh himself but the few sources available, one of which from Jex, describes him as a cruel and greedy man who dislikes gods such as Crondis, and as such worships only Het.
