An aristocrat in Geb, Uten-aten was an NPC in the Superheroes campaign. From notes:

The house is along the rich eastern shore of the lake, a great white structure of imported marble.

Great white marble columns all around, with curtains and elaborate tapestries in blue and gold, with an occasional grey-green jade statue. Dark-skinned servant girls in white cotton dresses will welcome the party with a crystal pitcher of cool lemon-water and a bowl of huge red grapes. Oversized shirtless black warriors with scimitars and short bows stand around stoicly. Blue velvet couches on a huge balcony overlook the warm sunset beyond the sailboat-dotted deep blue lake. Please, wait here, the girls will say.

Uten-Aten is actually a northerner, of Icelund no less, and a 60-ish hulk of a man with deeply tanned and lined skin with long blond hair tied back with an ivory and jade hairpin. He's shirtless and shoeless, but wears silvery bracers (AC 0) and an ornate 3' saber at his side (+1 of sharpness, damage as longword). A pirate marauder (14th level fighter) of the northwestern seas for decades, after a particularly profitable raid, he took the loot here and set himself up as a merchant businessman 20 years ago. His wealth brings connections, and while he has no knowledge of the Temple of Geb or Luma Stones, he can get it... if the party can just wait 24 hours, he'll send out feelers, particularly if the party returns his sapphires.

Quarters are elaborate, with blue and white checkered marble tile, running water with private baths and plumbing, and fresh fruit and wine galore.
