The two worked together on a tugboat operation in the Atlantic following their time spent in the trenches of World War I. Izzy is often brash and quick to anger, but O'Connell's particular brand of sarcasm and anger are known to steady him. Izzy also has a spotty history with Jonathan, who defrauded him out of an investment in leather manufacturing. He also has a bitter history with Rick considering that he left him to hold an unknown merchandise in Marrakesh that lead to him being shot in his rear end, while Rick enjoyed the company of the local ladies. The O'Connells place unyielding trust in Izzy after his homemade hot-air balloon allows them to outrun Imhotep's attempt to eat them as a giant water face monster. Izzy rescues the others at the end of the film in the same hot-air balloon and they sail off into the sunset. He also wears an eyepatch he does not need, claiming "it makes me look rather dashing". Red Willits (Bruce Byron) is the leader of the three thieves that were under the employ of British Museum curator turned cultist leader Baltus Hafez. Red and his gang (which include the ignorant and skittish Spivey (Tom Fisher) and the superstitious and more practical Jacques (Joe Dixon)) were ordered to steal the Bracelet of Anubis when they were interrupted by a tidal wave Evy inadvertently caused. After they failed to obtain the chest, Red and his gang were ordered to obtain a chest from an unknown mausoleum, which turns out to be the very same chest that resulted in the deaths of Burns, Dr. Chamberlin, Henderson and Daniels from the first film. After a disagreement with the payment, Meela locks the three thieves into a train car and tricks them into opening the chest, after which they are all killed by Imhotep. Cassandra (Kelly Hu) was Memnon's sorceress who can predict the future with her magic. Mathayus was hired to capture her but the two of them quickly fell in love. As they went back to Memnon's throne, she distracted Memnon so Mathayus can become king. However, Mathayus's reign did not last long after her death from a plague. Han (Jet Li), also known as the Dragon Emperor, is a primary character in the third film and serves as the Mummy (he replaces Imhotep; the Mummy of the first two films). He was a ruthless warlord who desired immortality.
