Mummy

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.

The mummy was set to guard Pandora's Box inside the Crypt on the Whateley Manor grounds in Tamir. When Princess Rosella entered seeking Pandora's Box for the evil fairy Lolotte, the mummy emerged to attack her, but was repelled by the Obsidian Scarab she was wearing. When Rosella returned Pandora's Box, the mummy tried to attack again but was again repelled by the scarab. Both times the scarab forced the mummy to return to his coffin.
