Seti I (portrayed by Aharon Ipalé) is a minor character in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns.
He was the Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt in 1290 BC, governing well until his untimely death by one of his hands most faithful high priest Imhotep and his future wife Anck-Su-Namun.
Despite his age during his rule, Seti I was strong and vivacious, enjoying on one day a knife duel between his daughter Nefertiri and his future bride and concubine Anck-Su-Namun. After the duel was ended, Seti appraised the efforts of both women, citing that there was no one better to protect him than Anck-Su-Namun, and there was no one better to protect the Bracelet of Anubis than Nefertiri. Embracing his daughter after the battle, Seti did not notice that Imhotep had been passing glances at Anck-Su-Namun.
In time, Seti learned that Anck-Su-Namun had been having an affair, but with whom he did not know, until the evening that he had visited her residence and found that the coat of body paint on her arm had been smudged, indicating that a man had touched her. With that, Imhotep had come up from behind Seti, sword drawn as he faced the Pharaoh. Not far from the confrontation, Nefertiri had been watching what was happening from her balcony and called out to the Medjai, the Pharaoh's elite protectors, to aid Seti, who was shocked to learn that his high priest had betrayed him, but shocked soon turned to agony as Anck-Su-Namun drew out a dagger and stabbed the Pharaoh; reluctantly, at first, having to kill off a friend, Imhotep began to join in, and soon, both priest and concubine began stabbing Seti until he was dead. Upon Seti's death, Anck-Su-Namun believed she would be free of her role as concubine, but she was compelled to end her life when the Medjai reached the slain king.
