[edit] Fictional character biography

Bes falls victims to the god Seth, who draws on his luck-based powers to absorb the other Heliotopians. Bes is kept on hand to support Seth's plans to attack Asgard.

During his imprisonment in Seth's command center, Bes suffers taunts from Grog, Seth's second in command.

Bes is freed by Thor. Bes leads Thor to where Odin is imprisoned and he is freed also. Bes later stands with his fellow Heliopolitan gods, the gods of Asgard and the gods of Avalon, all against the forces of Seth. The enemy is soon defeated.
