Edric Montagu from The Mummy! A Tale of the Twenty-Second Century by Jane Webb (later Jane C. Loudon)
The novel is from 1827, so he's another one of those 19th century funky little literary mad scientists trying to resurrect the dead and it's great!
This is my design for him because I've been looking and, at the time of writing this, there are basically no posts on here about this book, at all.
So A Tale of the Twenty-Second Century fans, if you exist, here is some fan art. ♥

"Shoes off sweet boy," I said the moment he stepped in the door, it was late. "Phone on the shelf."
He sighed, taking his shoes off.
"Work's done, no need to think anymore, you're home."
It was an intense day, he looked exhausted- lost in that pretty little head...
"You didn't have time for lunch again", I said. Not a question. A fact.
"Mummy can tell..."
He shook his head. "My meetings ran over. I was going to, just grabbed something on the trai—"
"Shhhh", I cut in, soft but stern. "You're done making decisions. Bathroom. Now."
He didn’t argue. Just nodded, already unbuttoning his shirt as he headed up the stairs. I had the bath ready with his favourite bubbles. He paused when he saw it.
"Oh Mummy..."
“Let Mummy help you do a big boy peepee first..." —I stood behind him, my hips pressed against his back, my hands making my way round his waist, unbuttoning his fly as his trousers dropped to the floor...— "I take care of what’s mine, and you are mine." I whispered in his ear as my hands held him, his body relaxing into mine.
"Now, flush the toilet and get in the bath."
He did as he was told.
Once he was settled in the water, I sat on the edge of the bath and gently washed his face and hair, taking care to not get any soap in his eyes. I worked my way down his body, neck, shoulders, arms- washing away the day...
I watched as the assertive, directing man with never ending responsibilities slowly melted into my baby before my eyes.
He didn’t need to perform or initiate here, he needed to feel safe and protected. I took my time making sure he was clean and dry.
Then we brushed our teeth together, took my time applying baby lotion, talc, gently wrapping him in the biggest diapee I could find and my favourite tortoise pyjamas.
"Time for bed." I peeled back the sheets- he shuffled under, so sleepy...
"Come here Gorgeous boy" I whispered as I climbed into bed next to him, pulling him close to my chest and pushing his favourite dummy between his lips.
"You’ve done enough. Let Mummy take care of the rest."
Stroking his hair and covering his face with the tiniest kisses, I whispered: "I’m so proud of you, you know? You worked so hard today."
I held him a little tighter, letting my hand rest gently at the nape of his neck.
My strong, brilliant boy—peaceful in my arms, exactly where he belonged.
He was mine to guide. Mine to protect. His eyes closed and his breathing slowed to a rhythmic pace...
And now, finally, he could rest knowing he was safe, wrapped in Mummy's love...

Brendan Fraser could play Indiana Jones but Harrison Ford COULD NEVER play Rick O'Connell.

A Character Analysis of Anck-Su-Namun
TW: Slavery, Abuse
If you’re interested, here’s some of my interpretations and realizations I had while rewatching The Mummy and The Mummy Returns for the millionth time. This is also a complex character appreciation post.In the first movie.
Imhotep seems to be the only person who truly loves, respects, and sees Anck-Su-Namun as a person, unlike the Pharaoh. Seti is most likely very abusive, especially since he's keeping her as a sex slave and has her body painted to tell if someone else has touched her. Anck rests her arm on a cat statue when Seti enters her residence. Cats were worshiped, representing protection, justice, and good luck. The name Seti means “of Set,” indicating that Seti is consecrated to the god of chaos, destruction, and storms. The god's associations could be why it was chosen by the writers.
Anck doesn’t want to be Seti’s sex slave anymore and wants to be with Imhotep. The couple chooses to avenge themselves instead of running away because they’re infuriated by Seti’s abuse of power. Maybe they also believe his death is what’s best for the kingdom and its people too? Anck is an abuse victim who reclaims her agency by shouting “my body is longer his temple!” She trusts that Imhotep will resurrect her and kills herself. Imhotep is the high priest of Osiris, god of underworld, and judge of the dead. In Egyptian mythology, Set kills Osiris twice. Isis, the goddess of healing, protection, magic, and wife of Osiris, successfully resurrects him once by collecting his scattered body parts across the land. Similarly, Imhotep collects Anck’s organs and tries to resurrect her twice too.
In the second movie, we get to dive deeper into these characters. Anck and Nefertiri disliked each other in their past lives. Bullying typically stems from a place of insecurity and powerlessness which explains why Anck bullies Nef. There’s a lack of power in her own life and it makes her feel more in control. She’s jealous of Nef’s freedom while she’s stuck as Seti’s slave and future wife. As Nef and Seti hug each other, Anck looks at them with a sense of sadness, envy, and yearning for freedom.
Nef and Seti appear to have a healthy and happy father-daughter bond, suggesting that he might not abuse his daughter at all. Nef might even be completely unaware of his abusive behavior towards Anck, otherwise I’d expect her to have a lot more sympathy for her. She wants what’s best for her father and doesn’t believe Anck is the best suitor for him because she mistreats her. After witnessing them exchange glances, literally behind her father’s back, she suspects her father’s mistress and his trusted high priest are having an affair. She wants her father to be happy and fears Anck will break his heart.
Imhotep’s objective has changed after being resurrected for the second time. He originally wanted to be with Anck, but it has changed into a want and need for power. He’s fuming because people have prevented his plan to resurrect and be with Anck – TWICE. The Medjai make Imhotep feel powerless as if the whole world is against them being together. Anck notices his want for power and even tries to stop him from fighting the Scorpion King. She says to him “I don’t want to lose you again!” He chooses to fight instead of staying with her though. She believes he has chosen power over being with her and is why she ends up leaving him. After all, she’s already sacrificed herself for him once before. Maybe his want for power and control reminded her of her former abuser, Seti. In the end, Imhotep is so blindsided that he forgets about what he’s truly wanted all along: Anck-Su-Namun.
