Once known by their old title as the Seekers of Thoth, the Antiquarians are the last survivors of Egyptian royalty from the age of the Pharaohs. Their leadership is composed of mummies, the hallowed dead brought back to life in a world that no longer respects the traditions of the old ways. Not that the Antiquarians care much for those ways themselves--accustomed to living lives of luxury, they felt no shame in trading off the wealth they were buried with shortly after awakening in return for power and influence. The Antiquarians are now the kingpins of the Egyptian underword, and masters of the antiquities trade. Nothing goes on in the tombs and treasure vaults of old Egypt without their withered hands getting involved.
