List of Tutenstein characters

This is a list of characters in the animated TV show Tutenstein.

Main

Tut Ankh En Set Amun ("Tutenstein") - (voiced by Jeannie Elias (season 1), Maryke Hendrikse (season 2), Donna Cherry (season 3)) A very impulsive but kindhearted young mummy. Once he lived a lazy but, sadly, very short life. Tut died because he selflessly saved his old friend Nepkaa from being smashed by rocks from a temple that was collapsing, so he himself was crushed to death. He couldn't remember that at the first place, but he found out at the Movie "Clash of the Pharaohs". Well, it's just like Tut said: "Being Pharaoh can be hazardous to your health". Tutenstein died at the age of 10, reawakened about three thousand years later by Cleo, so his age in the current time is 3,010 years. His nickname, Tutenstein, is a play on words on Frankenstein, often shortened to Tut. He often has trouble with many gods or ancient scripts, for example getting punished by Isis for cheating at the game of Senet. His only friends are Luxor and Cleo. When he's not doing something he shouldn't, Tut spends most of his free time in his sarcophagus because he must hide all day, which is really boring for him. He is the owner of the Scepter of Was and he likes to play Senet. And he is addicted to sweets, especially ice cream, or 'creamed ice' like he says it.

Cleo Carter - (voiced by Crystal Scales (series), Leah Lynette (movie)) A 12-year-old biracial African American girl who wants to become an Egyptologist, because her father, who is currently missing, is also one. After chasing her cat, Luxor, she accidentally brought Tut back to life. She tends to argue with Tut, complaining about his impulsiveness and outspokenness, but she always does it in a very rude and unceremonious way. Although she actually doesn't feel like it, she is often forced to help Tut set things right, but she would prefer Tut to stay nice and quiet in his sarcophagus all day, because she is afraid someone would find out about him being a living mummy. Most of the time it's very obvious that she doesn't really want to spend time with him, she would rather go skateboarding or hang out with her friend Natasha. Typically, she tries to stop Tutenstein doing the wrong thing but because of her impudence and incomplete explanations, he pays no attention to it. She always has her pocket computer, letting her gain instant access to facts about Egypt. Cleo looks like her mom, but she misses her dad very much. Her favorite color is pink.

Luxor - (voiced by David Lodge until Clash of the Pharoahs) Cleo's pet cat and is possibly named after the Luxor Temple.

Walter Jacobs - The easily frightened, friendly yet dimwitted, young security guard at the museum.

Professor Horace Behdety - Cleo's uncle^[1], a haughty professor who works at the museum. Throughout the series, he's shown to be fiercely proud of the Egyptian display at the museum, and there are hints that Horace is also possibly the archeologist who discovered Tutankhensetamun's tomb.

Dr. Roxanne Vanderwheele - The Professor's colleague, an extremely bright young scholar and thoroughly modern archaeologist.

Rosalie Rivara - Rosalie Rivara is a vain, publicity hungry TV news reporter.

Cleo's Father - A well experienced Egyptologist/Archeologist and Cleo's loving father. There are brief scenes shown throughout the series that Cleo's father is alive but trapped in an unknown location.

Katie - Cleo's childhood enemy and briefly became a rival for Jake's attention.

Set - The Egyptian god of chaos, destruction, and disorder, and the main antagonist of the series. For thousands of years, Set has been condemned to the darkest pit of the Egyptian underworld.

The Demons of the Underworld - They often play a large role in the show. They are two giant demons in the underworld, Wenamoo and Nahahair.

The Egyptian Gods - The almighty and responsible gods of ancient Egypt are often overseers of all the events of the immortal world and the underworld. The list includes Osiris, Isis, Ra, Horus, Anubis, Bastet, Thoth, Maat, Nut, Geb and many others.

↑ Episode one mentions that Cleo's mother had spoken to Horace, which is the only reason why she's allowed to help out at the museum.
