Kharis

Kharis was a priest that was punished for being in love with the pharaoh's daughter and mummified in the process.

Background
There was once an Egyptian priest who was in love with the pharaoh's daughter. He was wrapped like a mummy and buried for his insolence. He returned to life thousands of years later when his tomb was finally opened, and he searched for Tana leaves in order to bring his beloved back to life alongside him. Kharis--that was the poor priest's name--was not evil at all, but all thought of him as a monster, and he ended up acting accordingly. Such is forever the misfortune of the undead.

Behind the scenes
Kharis was a mummy in one of the Universal Studios mummy films.
