Enakhra is a Zamorakian Mahjarrat, and the only known female of the race that is currently alive[1] (Moia is arguably a Mahjarrat, being half-Mahjarrat, half-human). Although little is known about her origins, she is known to be a rival of Akthanakos, a Zarosian Mahjarrat with whom she has feuded since before they came to Gielinor.[2]
History
Early history
In the Second Age, she built a temple in the Kharidian Desert in honour of Zamorak, a then-Mahjarrat who conspired against Zaros. According to legend, she showed her temple to Zamorak, but he spurned her, claiming that he would rather have a weapon that could kill a god than a temple.[3]
It was also in the Second Age that Enakhra was sent on a mission by Zaros as part of a company consisting also of Zamorak, the Elder-Demon Thammaron, the human warrior Viggora, the archivist Perjour, and Zaros' Auspah dancer Char; a mission which ultimately resulted in the burning of a Fremmenik encampment by Char, in a rage at the loss of the rest of her people. [4]
Retreat into her Temple
Following this, Enakhra dwelt in her temple for thousands of years and did not come out, though the last that the humans in the surrounding area learned was that she was "thinking of ending her rivalry with Akthanakos". In actuality, Enakhra tricked Akthanakos and led him into her temple, where she cursed him and turned him into a Bone guard, a living skeleton to guard her in her solitude.
In the late Fourth Age, an expedition of knights from Avarrocka was sent into the desert to, for unknown reasons, destroy Enakhra. It may be that at the time of the mission, the Mahjarrat Zemouregal had recently enacted his Invasion of Avarrocka and the populace of the city were afraid of more attacks. The expedition was a disaster, and all of the knights were killed by the bitter Enakhra, with the exception of one, Pentyn, who was doomed to be trapped in an ancient spell that preserved his life, but kept him cold, miserable and diseased.
Release from her Temple
In recent times, taking place during the quest Enakhra's Lament, a Zamorakian mage named Lazim delved into the desert where he knew the temple to be and enlisted the help of an adventurer to uncover it. The adventurer was then able to free Akthanakos, and he and Enakhra vowed to continue their long, drawn-out rivalry in The North, where the Ritual of Rejuvenation was shortly to take place.
The 18th Mahjarrat Ritual of Rejuvenation
| “ | No! I demand it be Akthanakos! | ” |
During the "negotiations" of who would be sacrificed during the ritual, she repeatedly suggested her old rival Akthanakos. However, her suggestions were constantly ignored by Zemouregal and Lucien. During the fight between the Zarosian and Zamorakian Mahjarrat, she fights Akthanakos, but does poorly and is almost beaten before all the Mahjarrat turn on Lucien and fight him instead. Jhallan is ultimately sacrificed, and she regains her powers (rising in Level from 250 to 350) and her face changes away from the Lich form. After witnessing Lucien's death at the hands of the Dragonkin, she quickly teleports away.
The Death of Guthix
Enakhra attacks one of Guthix's supply rooms. The player may send a specific person/group to take her on. She is accompanied by Mages of Zamorak and Dark wizards who are dealt with the specific person/group the player sends to combat her minions while she and the player clash violently. She is level 140 with 40,000 hitpoints and has two unique moves, both of which siphons the players lifepoints to heal hers.
Sliske's Grand Ascendancy
When the adventurer and Icthlarin are teleported to the Empyrean Citadel, Zamorakian Mahjarrat Enakhra, Zemourgal and General Khazard can be seen outside the door on the right-hand side, whereas on the left hand side are Zarosians Athanakos, Azzandra and Wahiseital. They stand in front of the Barrows brothers, who are guarding the entrance, awaiting entry. Enakhra says they disagree with Sliske 's ascension into godhood and claims he cannot become a god without their consent, so they have come to stop him.
Relation to Zamorak
It is hinted strongly that Enakhra has an unrequited love for Zamorak, the god of chaos, and is an avid follower of his. It is first explained briefly by Aristarchus, a Menaphite scholar who specialises in desert lore. During the quest The Curse of Arrav, Zemouregal's fortress in The North is found to have several documents labelled "Notes (a-j) and Notes (k-z)", written by Zemouregal and detailing all of the known Mahjarrat to have come to Gielinor. According to Zemouregal, he wanted her help to save the Mahjarrat race but she refused, claiming that she had "feelings for Zamorak" which Zemouregal does not understand.
In Postbag from the Hedge Issue 43, Enakhra answers a letter asking her about her life, the life of Iban, and her home realm, Freneskae. She replies:
| “ | Ah, Freneskae: an ash-covered, smog and lava-filled delight. You humans would consider it desolate and harsh, a deathly place. To my Mahjarrat eyes, there is wonder there. For us Mahjarrat, life can come from death as easily as death from life... That is why we chose to follow Icthlarin, then Zaros (though I spit as I say his name), and my greatest love, Zamorak. | ” |
— Enakhra

She mentions that Zamorak is her "greatest love" and also that she must have a love for Iban because he is not a "'son' of Zamorak in your narrow, literal sense, but he is imbued with my lord's unholy power: sweet with corruption".[5]
Also, in The World Wakes, she serves for the glory of Zamorak.[6] When she is defeated, she will admit defeat and retreat as she feels she has "shamed" herself in the name of Zamorak.[7]
Trivia
- Enakhra's name backward spells 'arhkanE', possibly based on the word 'Arcane'.
- Enakhra is stated by Zemouregal to likely be the only female Mahjarrat on Gielinor to still be alive. The only other female he mentions, Palkeera, the mother of Khazard, is deceased. Zemouregal does not count Lucien's daughter, Moia, either because he believes she is dead or because he does not consider her a "true" Mahjarrat due to her half-human lineage.
