Moses/Sobekmose
Raised in the household of Pharaoh, Moses’ Egyptian name was Sobekmose. He rose to become not merely a son to Pharaoh, but a general of his army, despite having a stuttering problem. When his earthly fathers fail him, Moses becomes a broken man, a wandering nomad. When his heavenly father chooses him, can Moses overcome his weaknesses and fears to become the father of a nation?
Jochabed and Meryt
The mothers of Moses. Jochabed, a humble understated Hebrew woman whose single heroic act of hiding her son in an “ark,” would become the lynchpin for the salvation of Israel. And Meryt, his Egyptian mother, would raise Moses as Sobekmose and face a similar sacrifice of giving up her son for his higher purpose. But will she find the God of her son’s people?
Aaron and Miriam

Pharaoh Sobekhotep
Khaneferre Sobekhotep IV wants to unite Upper and Lower Egypt and become the greatest king who ever ruled Egypt, like Horus his patron deity. The only problem is that his adopted son to inherit, Sobekmose (Moses) is outshinining his glory with his own great achievements for the king.
