History[]
Colin Weasler was a British scholar who worked for the British Museum of Antiquities in the 1930s. He vied for the position of head of the Archaeology department, but was denied the job by the museum curator in favor of Evelyn Carnahan. Weasler was embittered, citing that he was far more qualified to run the department than Evelyn, given as how her only true contribution (in his mind) was that she accidentally tripped and came upon the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Because of this slight, Colin swore vengeance against Evelyn.
Colin Weasler secretly disguised himself and infiltrated a group that had accompanied Evy and her husband, Rick O'Connell to the fabled Egyptian city of Hamunaptra. Here, he decided to exact his revenge. He stole the Book of the Dead from Evy and used it to resurrect the mummy of the ancient High Priest Imhotep. Imhotep arose and used the Manacle of Osiris to regain all of his former power. Terrified, Weasler desperately bargained for his life. Imhotep allowed him to live, Colin was now the mummy's obedient servant in all things.
Weasler took to this position with great relish, since Imhotep's goals also mirrored his own, and he was able to scheme against the O'Connells on many occasions, but never truly able to satisfy his hatred.
