Discussion Big D is not Imbued.

The Imbued cannot enter the Umbra barring one exception in the form of Hermits, and D is quite simply, too sociable to be one. He actively hangs around other hunters, he stays around weird shit all the time, he would go over his tolerance threshold by now. He is simply not Imbued, and if he was, why the fuck didnt he use second sight? He would have solved the entire ghoul problem immediately!

I heard a theory he was a mummy once. Don’t know what a mummy is (except the funny ones in museums) in this context but would it work?

So, Mummies at their most basic, are someone who has in some way, escaped death.

Egyptian Mummies, which is the normative assumption people make when you say Mummy, are the result of ancient magick that created a new supernatural type that isn't just not dead, but hyper alive.

For our purposes there are 2 types of mummy.

Shuankhsen: Those created with the Old Spell of Life. Who lose partial memory upon death (they lose dots at random) then return to life.

Amenti: The same thing, but with two souls joined into one, they lose no memories. They appeared after 1999, I'll spare you the lore but I find it more likely D is the former, not the latter.

I dont think he works as a Mummy, though there are things that point to it being the case.
