Heket is one of the four Bishops of the Old Faith. She is the second youngest bishop, the ruler of Anura, and the Deity of Famine.

Heket appears to be a red frog with four eyes that have black sclera and red, cross-shaped pupils. She has several cross-like protrusions sticking out from her head, and she wears a three-pointed crown with a yellow, upside-down triangular eye. Like the other Bishops, Heket wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that covers the rest of her body. What appear to be two black hands can be seen emerging from her robe, holding it closed. Her throat is wrapped in bandages, as it was slit by The One Who Waits, with some of the bandaging hanging down her back like a scarf.

Heket comes off as the Bishop who is the most directly hostile towards the Lamb, continuously insulting them and being the first Bishop to directly act against their followers. The fact that people sacrificed to Heket also go through a fate worse than death (as in, fused with giant mushrooms, still alive) seems to imply that's she overall the most cruel of the Bishops.

Much like the other Bishops, she doesn't seem to care too much about her followers, being ready to have them sacrifice themselves for her. She does however care for her siblings: brothers Leshy and Kallamar, and sibling Shamura. She despises The One Who Waits for his treachery and causing the injuries that plague the family but somehow it implies that she still cares for him despite everything.

Alongside her siblings, Leshy ruled over the Lands of the Old Faith as one of the last remaining gods. When her brother Narinder grew ambitious and power-hungry, she and the other Bishops sealed him away, which resulted in Heket's throat to be wounded.

When Narinder (now known as The One Who Waits) started sending vessels against them, Heket and the others killed them one by one (except for Ratau, who however was unsuccessful in his task) and killed all the lambs in the Lands go prevent a prophecy foretelling The One Who Waits' return.
