Mahmoud Gamal al-Parneb Nezaj, called Parneb, was a long-lived male Human who claimed to be living backwards in time. The end of his life was in 1198 BCE, when he was known as Parneb of Thebes, the construction boss under Pharaoh Ramses III. In Ancient Thebes, he would be considered a contemporary of Kapeshet, who centuries later would be the namesake of a far distant star, Kapeshet. Parneb also claimed to know Merlin, the immortal wizard of King Arthur's court, though he would know him by the name Ahkarin.
