Typhon is the son of Set. He is said to have intelligence gleaming from his eyes.[1] He is not a born ghoul, but rather was Set's son before they turned into ghouls after the Great War. He agrees with the assessment that his father is "a real bastard". He had a stash hidden in a well in Broken Hills, which turned out to be little more than worthless bottle caps.
Typhon's Treasure: He wants the Chosen One to find some objects such as a Cat's Paw magazine, a rubber doll, a plant, and a rot gut. After all of this hard work, Typhon will tell them that he hid the "treasure" somewhere in Downtown; more precisely in a Town Well. However, as the Chosen One is too big, and cannot fit in the well, some smaller assistance is needed.
In Greek mythology Typhon was the final son of Gaia and Tartarus, sent to kill Zeus for imprisoning the Titans, and the father of Cerberus, the Hydra, Chimera, and Sphinx.
The Greeks also made a connection with Typhon and the Ancient Egyptian god Set. This reference connects Typhon with his father.
