==Summary==
Mathayus (born 3106 BC), also known as the Scorpion King, is the last warrior from Akkad, a kingdom in the lands between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. When his father Ashur was killed by the king's general, Sargon, he became a warrior in order to avenge his father. As an adult, he worked as an assassin and was hired to kill the the sorceress Cassandra so Memnon could not foretell the outcome of battles. However, Mathayus and Cassandra fell in love, and the latter inspired him to overthrow Memnon and become the new king. However, Mathayus lost Cassandra and his empire to a plague and became a mercenary once more. He was hired by King Horus to stop his brother Talus, who was armed with the Book of the Dead. Not long after, he was hired by King Zakkour of Al-Moraad to retrieve the urn of Kings from Norvania, as the relic contained the Golden Key of Lord Alcaman, which could grant magical powers. Mathayus later attempted to leave his life behind and became a blacksmith, but he made an enemy of Nebserek, who was armed with the Fang of Anubis, a cursed sword.
Mathayus led an army on a campaign to conquer the known world, but after seven years, he was the last warrior left alive. He sold his soul to Anubis in order to conquer his enemies in exchange for serving the god for all time. Millennia later, in the 20th century, the Scorpion King was awakened.
