During the Holy Crusades of Europe, some of the Knights Templar – that had served in the wars – learned of the Scorpion King's existence and turned to watching over the Oasis of Ahm Shere. They recorded their own existence in the form of bas-reliefs on the walls of the golden pyramid within the Oasis, depicting instructions on how to slay the Scorpion King by using the golden staff known as the Scepter of Osiris. The Knights became known by the Medjai as warriors for God and protectors of mankind, and fellow brothers-in-arms worthy of membership.
Modern Day[]
Western Medjai, rather than having the conspicuous facial hieroglyphics that would stand out too much in their western societies, had the sacred symbol of the Medjai tattooed on their right outer wrist (The pyramid, the eye and the two kings). They wore long dark robes with grey sashes, bandoliers, turbans and scarves. All Medjai were able to fight with blades as well as firearms, and were skilled in one-on-one combat. The warriors often rode horses through the deserts and took their foes by surprise whenever able to do so.
In The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor only two Western Medjai are shown. They are Rick O'Connell and Alex O'Connell, they help Zi Yuan and her daughter Lin kill the Han the Dragon Emperor.
