Magus (The Scorpion King)

- Magus introduces himself to Mathayus

Magus is the main antagonist of the 2002 prequel video game The Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian and a devious sorcerer.

History
Magus is a sorcerer who longs for the Sword of Osiris so he can summon the god Set. He invaded Khemet and summoned a beast to kill the land's lord. He appeared before Mathayus to join him to find the Sword, before Mathayus rejected his offer. As a result, he sent Mathayus to his prison and shapeshifted into a prisoner named Hammet to feed on Mathayus' quest for revenge. In his normal form, he took Mathayus' brothers and revealed himself as the prisoner before Mathayus. He wanted to kill Jesup or Rama so they can be a vessel for Set. Once he got closer to death from Mathayus, he became a vessel for Set, to his joy.
