Emile Tabassi
Emile Tabassi is the High Priest of the Cult of Isis from the second edition of the Mummy setting.
Biography
Emile Tabassi is a Persian-American businessman with strong family roots in Egypt and France, and the leader of the Cult of Isis. He became involved with the Cult in his youth in Alexandria, when his aunt slowly introduced him to the ways and teachings of the Cult.
His studies in magic began in Egypt, and continued as he went to college in England and America; his contacts through the Cult - as well as his own dynamic personality, and frequent cases of sheer coincidence - always led him to some of the world's most talented magicians.
Emile is the perfect leader of the Cult of Isis: He has the personal conviction and strong magical training necessary to fight for the Cult's ideals, as well as the charisma and business acumen to lead a disparate group of people in what might be seen as a fruitless crusade.
Horus rarely deals with Emile - or the rest of the Cult. He acknowledges Emile's rile and leadership, and occasionally issues edicts which he expects the Cult to follow, but he has clearly lost interest in the Cult. Emile senses this, and is none too pleased, but by this point the Cult has grown independent of Horus; it has gotten along so long without his guidance that he is a figurehead at best, and now frequently an unwanted one.

Emile is a middle-aged man who is best described as utterly nondescript in appearance. When speaking, though, he shines, and conversationalists usually sense the strength that rests beneath his facade of mediocrity.
