The supplied source material does not record a narrative origin or mythic birth for Qebui. Available attestations present Qebui functionally as the named Egyptian god of the north wind within the broader Egyptian practice of personifying winds and directional forces; no primary-text myths, cultic founding stories, or chronological origins are provided in the available excerpts.
In the sources consulted Qebui's iconography is described in two consistent forms: "a man with four ram heads" and "a winged, four-headed ram." These specific visual descriptions are cited directly in the Qebui article and are the sole documented appearance details in the provided material. The same source also situates this figure geographically by associating him with the lands north of the third cataract of the Nile.
The material attributes to Qebui the power and role of controlling or personifying the north wind. Beyond this directional/wind governance, the provided sources contain no documented additional powers, behaviors, myths, or typical interactions with humans. Descriptions therefore limit Qebui's function to that of an Egyptian wind deity associated with the north.

Qi
Qi (氣/气) is a foundational concept in Chinese thought referring to a ubiquitous vital substance or vapor-like principle—commonly glossed as 'vital energy' or 'breath'—thought to underlie living beings, health, and cosmological processes. It is treated as an impersonal, polysemous principle rather than an individualized spirit or deity, and is central to practices that aim to cultivate or balance it (e.g., qigong, traditional Chinese medicine).
Qilin
