Mathayus (died 1933) was an Akkadian warrior who became known as the Scorpion King. He traded his soul to Anubis to gain command of the Army of Anubis the ability to conquer his enemies. After achieving victory, Mathayus' soul was claimed and he became a being who appeared to be a human and scorpion merged. In 1933, he awoke and encountered Rick O'Connell as well as Imhotep, who had intentions to take command of the Army of Anubis. After a fight, Mathayus was killed by O'Connell, becoming impaled by the Spear of Osiris.
