Maahes in hieroglyphs

Maahes (MAH-hees; Anc. Egypt. "he who is beside her") is a lion-like Wesen. All Maahes are descended from Maahes, who was worshiped by the ancient Egyptians as the god of war. Because Maahes have roots reaching back to the ancients, they are commonly referred to as a "pureblood" Wesen. They are particularly strong, intelligent, and superior to other lifeforms in most aspects. The pelt of a Maahes can withstand all elements, and only the most powerful weapons or the claws of a Maahes can penetrate it. It has been used as armor by Hercules (who slayed the Nemean Lion) and also by Silvio (who slayed his own uncle Wayland Nemean). Silvio Jenkins made himself the last surviving descendant of Alexander the Great until his son Alexandros was born.

First [Herakles] was assigned to fetch the skin of the Nemean lion, an invulnerable animal sired by Typhon . . . He then went to Nemea, found the lion, and shot it first with arrows. But when he knew for sure it was invulnerable, he picked up his club and started after it. It escaped into a double-mouthed cave, but Herakles blocked up one of the mouths, and ran in after the creature through the other. He encircled its neck with his arm, and by squeezing choked it to death. He then draped it over his shoulders and took it back to Kleonai.

–Pseudo-Apollodorus

Nemean
My next perplexity was to draw the shaggy hide from the dead beast's limbs: a very taxing labour, for to attempt it I had neither knife of iron nor stone nor other means. Then a god put into my head to slit the lion's skin with the lion's own claws; with these I soon had it off and wrapped it around my frame to serve as a shield against the cut and thrust of the battle-rout.

–Hercules
