Background
Sobek's past is little known. He served Ra during his tenure as king and later Osiris. In addition, he had both aided and fought Horus in the past.

The Red Pyramid
Sobek appears when Bast, Carter, and Sadie attempt to contact Nephthys at the Rio Grande in El Paso, Texas. First, he sends two crocodiles to attack the trio before rising from the river. Desperate to protect her friends, Bast challenges him and forces the god beneath the water and back to the Duat, sacrificing herself to allow Carter and Sadie time to escape. Sobek is later seen again when a victorious Horus proclaims himself king, scowling.

Trivia

 * His blood is green as shown when Carter injures him and he loses a few teeth.
 * He is shown mainly as a human and crocodile hybrid, except for his bull horns. Bulls may have something to do with water as shown in the Percy Jackson series that Oceanus, a deity of the sea, also has bull horns.
 * He is the Greek equivalent of Posideon.
