The Seven Sentinels, or Sentinels, are the guardians of the City of the Sun God, where they keep the Black Pharaoh, Akhenaten, the Black Pharaoh, and his god, Aten, imprisoned with their songs.
Background
They are the children of Ptahmose, who was the Vizier of Akhenaten as well as the high priest of Amun.
When Akhenaten turned away from Amun to worship Aten, there was a civil war, and Ptahmose was one of the leaders of those rebelling against Akhenaten and the cult of Aten.
Ptahmose's side won. But, he knew that Akhenaten and the Aten would not stay dead and buried and more would be required. As such, he undertook a ritual that sacrificed all seven of his children and bound them to statues that would stand guard over the the City of the Sun God and the Black Pyramid for all of time.
Each of the children took on an aspect of a patron god and fill a specific role as a sentinel [1]
