The Cast

Meet the Characters

Eight characters across two continents, three thousand years, and one very gassy mummy. Get to know the cast that anchors every adventure.

Martin

The Fartin' Mummy

2,000 years old. Brother of Queen Hatshepsut. Discovered in a kid's sarcophagus near a Nile valley dig site. His brain was removed per ancient Egyptian custom and never replaced, which explains a few things. Now lives at the Natural History Museum with his sister.

"Will you be placing it on an altar for Anubis?"

Katie

The More Mature Twin

Ten years old. Future archaeologist. Knows the difference between buried and entombed, and is the only one in the kitchen who reads the recipe.

"Not buried. Entombed."

Tommy

Katie's Twin Brother

Vocabulary show-off, chocolate-denier, Halloween-candy thief, and the kid most likely to feed Martin a microwaved tuna melt and watch what happens.

"Martin would be the first mummy in space, using his farts like an antigravity jet pack!"

Olivia

Mom · Archaeologist

Works at the Natural History Museum and runs digs in the Nile Valley. She is the calm at the eye of every storm her kids and Martin generate.

"DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING."

Queen Hatshepsut

18th Dynasty · Martin's Sister

Once a real-life Egyptian queen. Now lives at the Natural History Museum where Martin has joined her. Welcomes every reunion with both arms raised.

Dr. Dandersnoot

Series Villain

Black suit, red bow tie, fangs, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the ancient order of Khufu. Carries a red amulet that channels the four winds when the sun aligns over the Nile at exactly 6:06pm.

"The two of us will not be escaping. The entire prison will."

Seymore

Dandersnoot's Unfortunate Assistant

Red-headed, anxious, prone to tears. Mourns his career, his houseplants, and a girlfriend he doesn't actually have but was working on.

"We're the most wanted men in all of Egypt and we stick out like feet on fish."
