"Death is only the beginning."'''
Nefernekhti (Her entry here) was a former pharaoh/queen of old Neighypt who would become one of the most powerful mummies in existence, with ambition and love having turned her into a life-devouring walking plague upon the living with the strength of ages and power over life and death themselves.

And I Must Scream: She was cursed, mummified alive, and buried in a hidden tomb beyond Neighyptian lands and forgotten for around 5,000 years before she was rediscovered in the Great Wars Era of the Second Age.
Ambiguous Situation: Her father and his concubine who birthed her half-brother died under mysterious circumstances. While there are theories, many believe that Nefernekhti had something to do with it, or don't put it past her given her character and actions.
Expy: While she had Princess Ahmanet from The Mummy (2017) as a starting point, she is largely her own character with traits from other villainous mummies from other franchises.
Fate Worse than Death: Her current situation despite her pride and power, and the main reason why the higher powers ultimately did not dish out any further punishments for her actual crimes, besides having already suffered several times for her sins. She wanted to live forever, but at the cost of becoming a walking plague upon the world who sow doom and destruction in her wake. She wanted to rule, but her reigns are always transient and doomed to fall no matter how many times she returns. She wanted to be with her beloved, but due to circumstances beyond even her control she is cursed to always have them slip from her grasp. She knows all this and she also knows the higher powers allowed her to remain free so she could continue to serve as a challenge which force the world to grow in order to overcome. As far as the Judicae and other older powers are concerned, until she finally repent and redeem herself, she is already in hell.
Mummy: Was one of this and one of the most powerful to ever exist.
Nepharious Pharaoh: Zigzagged. While she seized power by force, it was partly due to her father walking back on his promise due to her half-brother's birth and stopping her from romancing a commoner. Her rule was noted to be iron-hoofed, but she also ruled well enough that Ancient Neighgypt prospered and grew powerful, and her reign was only derailed by a Civil War started by her half-brother after he had grown. That being said, she did pact with a dark underworld god for the power to win said Civil War, turning herself into a supernatural monster, and had nearly violated Primaeval Law in her grief trying to bring her lover back when he was killed by an assassin. It's implied she also committed many other crimes.
Start of Darkness: She was groomed (and was worthy) to be her father's successor on the throne as well as being deeply in love with a commoner, but was denied them both when her father took her out of the line of succession after her half-brother was born and tried to keep the two lovers apart out of tradition and classism, driving her to seize power for herself so she could rule and be together with her love. Then her half-brother started a Civil War which forced her to in desperation make a pact with a dark underworld god who turned her into his life-devouring monstrous avatar in the living world to win, at the cost of her equinity. Then her lover was killed by an assassin and she was stopped from trying to bring him back to life in her grief, and for her crimes was cursed and mummified alive. It was no wonder she became what she is today.
Walking Wasteland: Is stated to be a 'Walking Plague upon the world' and has Calamity as one of her Domains, allowing her to cause disasters by her mere presence.
