Maharet, twin to Mekare, was guardian of the mortal descendents of her sister. Living in a house built into the side of the Sonoma mountains, California, she kept a map and histories of all family members and was known to them all as a distant spinster aunt looking for a family to dote on. She became mortal mother to Miriam, whose lineage produced Jesse, following a punishment by Khayman on the King, Enkil's, behalf. As a further punishment by the King and Queen she had her eyes torn out.
