Before he died he was a Pharaoh who was assassinated by his royal priests. We dont know why they killed him, but we see him being seduced by two women and then later a priest jams a hook thru his nose while he's alive and awake and removes his brain. The mummy is an evil soul sucking fiend, but you still feel bad about the way he died.
