The Prince of Egypt
Pharaoh Seti I is the ruler of Egypt alongside his queen, Tuya. He is the father of Rameses II and the adoptive father of Moses. At the beginning of the film, he ordered his Egyptian soldiers to throw every Hebrew and Jewish baby boy to the river under the age of two out of fear that the Hebrews would grow in number and rebel against him. Offscreen, he allows Tuya to adopt an infant boy she found on a river whilst outside with Ramses. They name the baby Moses and raise him as their own alongside Ramses. Some years later, Seti reprimands a now young adult Moses and Rameses after a temple is destroyed. He is especially hard on Rameses, who he feels he must prepare for the throne. Moses appeals to Seti's better nature and promises him that Rameses sought only his approval, and would succeed if he only had the opportunity. Seti later appears at the feast where he appoints Rameses as Prince Regent, by Moses's recommendation. Moses suggests Hotep and Huy pay tribute to their new Prince Regent with a gift. They bring out Tzipporah, a Midian girl captured as a concubine for Rameses, who eagerly gives her to Moses because she is too spirited. After Moses struggles to restrain Tzipporah, he jokingly "lets her go" into a small pool behind her. Seti is indifferent to this display, but his wife is ashamed of the behavior. After Moses is told by his biological sister Miriam that he is a Hebrew, he has a nightmare of his people being killed by crocodiles when the Hebrew and Jewish baby boys are thrown to the river. As Moses searches for answers through historical etchings throughout the palace, he finally finds a mosaic of Seti ordering the massacre of Hebrew and Jewish baby boys. Seti finds a devastated Moses and reveals to him that he had them threw all of the baby boys into the Nile river to keep their population in check and prevent any rebellion against him. He attempts to comfort Moses with a hug and justify his behavior, but when Seti tells Moses that the soldiers were "only slaves", Moses backs away from him in disgust. Seti dies some point after Moses escapes into the desert and is succeeded by Rameses, who surpasses his rule. However, Seti's way of ruling finally pays the great price during his son's rule as plagues ruin Egypt by killing all their firstborns, including his grandson and bringing ten plagues to their land.
