Ja-Kal

Ja-Kal is the leader of the mummies who protect Presley Carnovan.
==History==
In ancient Egypt, Ja-Kal was a hunter who had a wife Tia and a baby son named Padjet. Ja-Kal had a brother Arakh and a nephew Kimas. When he left to fight Scarab for the life of the prince, Arakh helped Scarab defeat them. While his brother was also defeated that day, Ja-Kal died without knowing what happened to his family.
==Personality==
Ja-kal doesn't have very good people skills. He's often too uptight and serious. This is only because he doesn't wish to fail his in his mission. To him, the harder you work, a better person you become.
Ja-Kal worries the most for Presley's safety, often acting as a father-figure to him. He commonly uses hunting terms to talk to others and explain situations. Ja-Kal commonly cares for others needs first and him second.
Ja-Kal is a loyal and honest person. He will always try to accomplish what's best for his friends and himself. Ja-Kal is also very serious, and a typical example of someone putting their work first, and their own well being second. He takes his duties of protecting the pharaoh very seriously, more so than any other of the Mummies. Throughout the show, he acts as a father figure for Presley, trying to both teach him in combat, and critical thinking, to overcome obstacles that may come, over doing so using hunting terms to talk to others and explain situations. Ja-Kal focuses so much on his duties in order to make up for when he first failed his task of keeping Rapses alive, in ancient Egypt. Ja-Kal doesn't wish to fail in his mission. To him, the harder you work, a better person you become. However Ja-Kal isn't a close minded person, and will often listen to other people's opinions regardless of him being the leader of the group. Despite that, we see many examples were Ja-Kal takes his duties and privilage of leadership a bit too seriously, causing arguments within the group of what's the best option to take regarding a situation, such as when Nefertina was under the influence of Bastet and Ja-Kal had no second thoughts regarding her defeat, if it meant to save Presley's life, which caused an argument with the rest of the Mummies. Ja-Kal has also been shown to question his true purpose, and tries to hide his feelings regarding the family he left behind, often wondering what's more important, his family or his duties, and whether or not devoting his life to protecting the young prince was the right choice to take. This however barely stops him from saving the life of his friends, and will even sacrifice himself with no hesitation if it means to save others.
== Powers and Abilities ==
As mentioned before, Ja-Kal being the leader of the Mummies has great leadership skills. He is sharp minded and tries to figure out the best way to defeat his opponent. Ja-Kal is also a great hunter, managing to become the leader in the Royal Hunt, which also landed him the task of protecting Prince Rapses. Just like the other mummies, he possesses a magical amulet shaped after a falcons's head, that gives him falcon-shaped armor. With this armor, his strength and durability is greatly amplified. Unlike the other Mummies however, he also gains the ability to fly, sprouting two golden wings from his back. His armor has sharp claws, able to cut through most things, including Shabties. Ja-Kal's weapon is a bow, that is able to shoot slightly explosive arrows made of fire. Also just like the other mummies, he can transform his face in order to scare his enemies, growing sharp teeth and horn/tentacle-like appendages, or either pop his eyes out and grow his tongue. Another ability he shares with the other mummies is also the ability to use his bandages as a means to sling across the city and wrap up his foes.

== Trivia ==
* Similar to the other mummies, the name "Ja-Kal" does not appear to be Egyptian in origin. However, the name "Ja" can mean "me," and the name "Kal" can mean "the strong one." Therefore, it could be argued that "Ja-Kal" means "I am the strong one."
* It is unclear as to who Ja-Kal's patron spirit is, however a good candidate could be the sun god, Ra.
* In concept art, Ja-Kal was missing one of his eyes, his default outfit was blue and gold with no white, he did not have a bandage covering his nose, and he was noticeably a bit slimmer than his final design.
