Sekhmet

Sekhmet (セクメト, Sekumeto) is a character in Castlevania: Nocturne and the Egyptian goddess of war, vengeance, plagues, healing, and the desert. She was once worshipped by Drolta Tzuentes in Ancient Egypt, and fragments of her soul later became connected to Erzsebet Báthory, Annette, and Drolta herself. Despite being a goddess associated with war and destruction, Sekhmet was originally caring and protective toward her followers. After her death and betrayal by humanity, however, she became more bitter and resentful. Even so, she still retains compassion for humanity and ultimately opposes the cruelty committed in her name. When confronting Drolta and Erzsebet through Annette, Sekhmet condemns the atrocities committed using her power and expresses disgust toward how her followers twisted her legacy. She is especially angered by Drolta abandoning her humanity and by Erzsebet’s misuse of her divine essence for domination and suffering. Although feared as a war goddess, Sekhmet does not glorify needless violence or cruelty. Instead, she is portrayed as deeply disturbed by the corruption, bloodshed, and fanaticism carried out by those claiming to serve her.
