Isis was a female, an Egyptian goddess representing the reproductive force of nature, fertility, and marriage; she was wife of the god Osiris and mother of the falcon-headed god Horus. In the early first century BCE, her cult was imported into Italy and flourished along with the cult of the Egyptian god Serapis, god of the Underworld, the sky, and healing. The Roman cult of Isis involved initiation and promised worshippers a personal redemption. Unlike many of the distant Roman gods, Isis was represented as loving and compassionate toward individuals; the success of her cult is an indication of the Roman willingness to adopt elements of other cultures and merge them with their own. There was a major temple dedicated to Isis and Serapis in the Campus Martius in Rome.

"Isis" is a goddess, not a god. She is one of the major dieties of the old Egyptian culture. She is the mother of Osiris, the 'savior' and 'risen lord' and the mate and sister of Horus the hawk god/the second most powerful god in the Egyptian pantheon. She is queen of magic and fertility.
I have no idea what 'god' you are really trying to find out about.

He was a she. The following is from wiki - it is a more useful site for questions like yours than YA.
Isis is a goddess in Egyptian mythology. She was most prominent mythologically as the wife and sister of Osiris and mother of Horus, and was worshipped as the archetypical wife and mother.
Her name literally means (female) of throne, i.e. Queen of the throne, which was portrayed by the emblem worn on her head, that of a throne. However, the hieroglyph of her name originally meant (female) of flesh, i.e. mortal, and she may simply have represented deified, historical queens.
