Well, since I don’t have much “samples” of Wolf warriors outside of Ancient Egypt, I’m going to take a look at the ones we have over there; apart Anubis of course. Seth, he may have been a member of the Wolf warriors clan, but he betrayed them and turned into a Multi-morph servant fighting for the Horned Serpent clan. So I cannot consider him as a true Wolf warrior. Same goes for other multi-morph traitors from other clans.
So the first one I want to check is Wepwawet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wepwawet
“In late Egyptian mythology, Wepwawet (hieroglyphic wp-w3w.t; also rendered Upuaut, Wep-wawet, Wepawet, and Ophois) was originally a war deity, whose cult centre was Asyut in Upper Egypt (Lycopolis in the Greco-Roman period). His name means opener of the ways and he is often depicted as a wolf standing at the prow of a solar-boat. Some interpret that Wepwawet was seen as a scout, going out to clear routes for the army to proceed forward. One inscription from the Sinai states that Wepwawet "opens the way" to king Sekhemkhet's victory.”
>> I like this idea of Wepwawet being a scout. It does fit perfectly with the warrior image of the Wolf Clan.
“Wepwawet originally was seen as a wolf deity, thus the Greek name of Lycopolis, meaning city of wolves, and it is likely the case that Wepwawet was originally just a symbol of the pharaoh, seeking to associate with wolf-like attributes, that later became deified as a mascot to accompany the pharaoh. Likewise, Wepwawet was said to accompany the pharaoh on hunts, in which capacity he was titled (one with) sharp arrow more powerful than the gods alone.”
>> So he was an archer. That’s his weapon. Same thing mentioned about Anubis in page 1 003 with his title of “Ruler of the 9 Bows” = archer.
“Over time, the connection to war and thus to death led to Wepwawet also being seen as one who opened the ways to, and through, Duat, for the spirits of the dead. Through this, and the similarity of the jackal to the wolf, Wepwawet became associated with Anubis, a deity that was worshiped in Asyut, eventually being considered his son. Seen as a jackal, he also was said to be Set's son. Consequently, Wepwawet often is confused with Anubis.This deity appears in the Temple of Seti I at Abydos.”
>> Be careful when digging into this anons, do not confuse both deities. They may look similar, but both are 2 warriors belonging to the same clan.
“In later Egyptian art, Wepwawet was depicted as a wolf or a jackal, or as a man with the head of a wolf or a jackal. Even when considered a jackal, Wepwawet usually was shown with grey, or white fur, reflecting his lupine origins. He was depicted dressed as a soldier, as well as carrying other military equipment—a mace and a bow.”
>> Strangely on the upper register of the bronze Plaque from Hell, weapon number 6 fits perfectly with the arrow image (page 965). While weapon number 5 fits the mace that Wepwawet holds as well. And it seems here as well, they switched the weapon place, just like they did to weapons 2 & 3 for the ThunderBirds and Lamassu. Which is making me believe that the mystery Sebetti number 6, the one I couldn’t identify, also yields the same weapons (or at least one of them) as the Wolf Sebetti. This is a symmetrical design we have here on the upper register anons. Two parallel inversions in the same exact place on each side to indicate the use of the same weapon by 2 Sebetti warriors and not one like it’s the case for the first weapon+Sebetti.
