Imhotep

We know almost nothing about Imhotep during his 'first lifetime' as a commoner who rose to prominence within the Egyptian royal court. Whoever he was, he was clearly a genius, acting as both engineer, architect, mathematician, administrator, and above all, physician. 
He was also appointed high priest to the sun god Ra, leading the Order of Pagans to claim him as one of their own, although the Healers claim him as well. 
== Facts: ==
-Whoever he was, and whatever Order he belonged to, Imhotep's knowledge and wisdom rose to such heights that he mastered life and death itself. He was reported to be hundreds of years old at the time of his 'death.' 
-Imhotep is also credited with miraculous works. According to some accounts, Egypt was hit with a massive famine in his time, one so great that it threatened to shrink the kingdom. Imhotep used his abilities to grow additional crops quickly and ended the famine, both cementing himself in Egyptian history and proving his mastery over all life forms. 
-Imhotep was also a mastery architect and is credited with the building of several great Pyramids. 
-Egypt boasted a vast field of medical practice, with general doctors and specialists alike serving the community at large. Much of this probably owes itself to Imhotep's influence upon the culture. 
-Imhotep was a polymath who spoke several languages and mastered many disciplines. His passion, however, was for the medical arts and sciences, and he worked tirelessly to create an official and honored place for medical practitioners in society. This was the beginning of the House of Wisdom Chapter. 
-There are stories in Egypt of Imhotep being a demigod, that his mother was human but his father was the Egyptian god Ptah. Depending on regional interpretation, Ptah was either a typical Pagan God with creative talent, or possibly an Avatar Of God. In the latter case, it is possibly that Imhotep was in actuality a Theist who had mastered several Names (this would explain his mixed talents). 
-Before his death, Imhotep would disappear, saying he wanted to build his own tomb. He was buried there by those he trusted, and to this day no one knows where the world's first great physician is buried. If indeed he is still buried there at all...
== The First Mummy: ==
Many in the Occult world believe that Imhotep was the first to create Mummies, mummified corpses brought back to a semblance of life. Imhotep had the power to control Life itself and he could bring back the dead. He taught arcane rituals to others who continued the practice, creating Mummies to serve and protect Egypt (a practice that met with mixed results). 
Theists who believe Imhotep was one of their own argue that the 'corpses' he brought back were fully alive, and that later Magick practitioners, lacking his expert skills, botched the rituals and created the half-dead abominations we know to be Mummies today.
