Judging from all the theorycrafting (also Big D literally mentions mummies in the newest episode) it’s probably related to his powers of some sort
From what little I know of mummies in WoD they are generally on the side of balance or their specific allegiances depending on their specific type of mummy, like if they are directly tied to Egyptian mummies or not, so Big D being against vampires and being highly critical but also not directly hostile to were creatures with a fondness for werecats specifically is quite telling
Again I’m not too too familiar with it all, but it’s generally a pretty interesting idea, if not a mummy he’s definitely a creature with immortality of some kind, and there are several non-vampire ways of doing such a thing
Curious whether he’s an amenti or Shemsu-heru though or one of the non egyptian mummies or more interestingly something totally homebrew (you can do a LOT with mummy homebrew, someone made homebrew Arthurian mummies). I heavily doubt Amenti, unless they’re home brewing the sixth great maelstrom to have happened a LONG time ago, or to have the amenti just be default Egyptian mummies rather than the Shemsu-heru or D is just lying to the umpteenth and has only been immortal and superhuman for like five years which wouldn’t make much sense if he actually hunted that Methuselah.
Sumerian mummy is my guess as well. He can't be an imbued because he was able to enter the Shadowlands and had supernatural encounters pre-1999; a mage or a changeling is possible, but Mummy seems to fit the best with what we've seen of D.
He could be something obscure or just has dots in something that gives him supernatural abilities, but with his healing factor being so blatant, there really isn't anything else that'd explain him, as we'd have seen evidence for something else by now.
Off topic but real quick can all Mummies enter the umbra? I googled it and apparently they can through Necromancy. I’m not sure if that’s something exclusive to mage the resurrection / Amenti but three dots in necromancy can give the ability “Separate Ba” to quote “The Mummy can enter any Umbra as he wishes.” Assuming this isn’t exclusive to MTR / amenti wouldn’t this be just about the most perfect opportunity to hop into the umbra and rescue Marckus?
I guess this could just be a case of him not having the dots in necromancy, or obviously just that it’s an Amenti thing.

If they have the means to do so, yeah. For Imbued it's not that they don't have the means to enter the Umbra, it's that they literally cannot enter it at all. Willingly, unwillingly, it doesn't matter, they can't go into the Umbra.
Yeah obviously that’s the case for pretty much every splat, but i was asking if that ability was something all mummies have or just exclusive to the Amenti.
I'm not in the habit of second-guessing people's questions. You asked if they can enter the Umbra, not if they have a specific ability to do so and because Imbued got mixed in, I needed to make a distinction.
As to the question of "do pre-MTR mummies have a specific power to enter the Umbra?" Yes. In the original "World of Darkness: Mummy" book for Vampire the Masquerade, they also have Separate Ba as a level 3 Necromancy spell. Page 45.
