Is the god Anubis good or evil And what are his duties and things that he rules over?

Anubis was a very good god, as he protected the mummies and ensured the dead souls a safe trip to the afterlife. He was among the best gods, though there is another god that looks similar to Anubis who is VERY evil. This look-alike is Set, the brother of Anubis's mother, Nephthys. Set is basically the opposite of Anubis. He was a god of the desert, storms, and foreigners. In later myths he was also the god of darkness, and chaos.
