Bes, unlike many Egyptian gods, was not banished to the Duat by the House of Life. He was still honored by many people in the current day and could easily ask for favors.

More About Bes

From the top of his shaggy-haired head to his bugged eyes and warty skin to the bottom of his gnarly feet, Bes is four feet of pure and powerful ugliness. He uses his appearance to his advantage, terrozing unsuspecting foes with a full frontal blast of repulsiveness combined with a mighty bellow of “BOO!” His official role is the protector of children, and he takes that role very seriously when it comes to Carter and Sadie Kane. He gives up his ren, or secret name, to the moon god Khonsu so they could continue their quest to save the world–and in doing so, gives up the essence of all he is. Sadie restores him to his former hideous glory in time for him to join the battle against Apophis, the serpent of chaos. Bes once had a crush on Bast, but is now in a stable and loving relationship with Tawaret.
