Name:
Heqet/Rowland Freebush

Age:
~3000

Classification:
Mummy

Personality: Rowland is a suave and charming man with an incredibly gifted mind. He remains courteous and professional at almost all times and exudes an aura of wisdom and assurance. He is incredibly pragmatic.

The Knights are somewhat skeptical of Rowland's alliance and agency within the Judas Unit, as he sometimes treats the organization as little more than another one of his corporate connections.

Powers:
Sand Manipulation: Rowland can psychically manipulate sand with terrifying precision. 

Insect Manipulation: Rowland can control the behavior of inects, and even reanimate them if they die.

Face Masking: Rowland can remove the face of a corpse in order to temporarily disguise his appearance.

Alchemy: Rowland is a master alchemist, capable of great feats of creation, making healing salves and deadly poisons in equal measure.

Biotech Knowledge: Rowland has lost his money and prestige, but the scientific knowledge he has acquired remains. Though he lacks the facilities, time and resources to actually create anything, Rowland has a comprehensive knowledge of genetics, medicine and cybernetics. This makes him, if nothing else, a quite skilled forensic analyst.

Biography:
3000 years ago, along the Nile, there lived a man named Heqet. He was a priest and alchemist of great learning and influence, who spent his days weaving powerful spells across the kingdom, bringing fertility and life to the land.

Heqet was not without his flaws, though. You see, Heqet was the younger brother of the Pharaoh, a fact that he resented immensely. He was the one with the intellect! He was the one with the charm! His brother was nothing but an ostentatious layabout.

One day, he finally resolved to rectify the issue, only to discover that one of his servants had already notified the pharaoh of his plot. The city guard set upon him at once, and even his powerful magic was insufficient to keep them at bay permanently.

Upon his death, he issued a final enchantment to ensure his legacy: should his body ever be removed from its appointed tomb, he would rise from death to claim the lives of the interlopers.

So it came to pass that the enchantment was awakened in the Fall of 1888, when a rich young dilettante and self-proclaimed archaeologist named Rowland Freebush stumbled upon his tomb. Believing that he had found a grand prize, he took the mummy held therein and attempted to load him into his cart, only to be swiftly and brutally killed.

Heqet, now one of the undead, faced a dilemma: in order to gain the prestige he craved, he would have to show his face, but it was desiccated and dead. So, Heqet made a monuments decision: he would take the face and name of the interloper until his true face could be restored.

Upon returning to civilization, Heqet, now Rowland, began using the miraculous healing properties of his alchemical substances to heal the sick for meager fees. Slowly but surely, he gained the financial means to buy the reagents to restore his face, but not before word of his powers spread. Soon, he was seeing increased demand. As his fame grew, so too did his understanding of modern science and technology and how the interacted with his ancient powers. By the turn of the century, he stood at the helm of a nascent biotech empire. His company: The Ammit Corporation.

Continuing the company under the guise of a family line for over a century, Rowland finally faced trouble when a would-be crusader uncovered his true nature. Forced to make the decision between giving up all the wealth and power he had or being hunted for the rest of his days, Rowland made the choice to cut his losses, leave the Ammit Corporation until further notice and join the Judas Unit.

Since then, the Ammit Corporation has been pretty thoroughly gutted and the leadership is almost unrecognizable, though rumors of some more clandestine projects from the old management still swirl in the public mind, unconfirmed.
