Grimm diary entry by Stefan Wilhelm, 1806

''This is my first journey to the country of Egypt. My fellow Grimm colleagues have warned me of the Hollentiers, fiendish hellhound Wesen to stupid to fear danger, Kindermorder Steinkampfers, Africa's version of the Geier known for fighting with rocks and cutting unborn infants out of their mothers for consumption, and the many different species of hyena Wesen who roam in fearsome gangs. However, none of these Wesen seem to be as dangerous as the vile Jinnamuru Xunte who lurks in the southern quadrant of this continent, or so I thought. ''

''I came across a ramshackle village stricken by poverty and disease. The citizens claimed that their illnesses were caused not by natural means, but by a horrific being who came by their village and breathed darkness into their souls. My first thought was Wesen, or something worse, and I continued my travells in a south south-eastern direction, the direction they said the demon went. ''

''The next village was larger than the last, but plagued by the same affliction. I stayed the night with a family who also was caring for one of the afflicted. They told me how the mysterious plague fit the description of an ancient legend that told of a demonic being who would inflict whole cities with deadly pathogens. I cannot pronounce nor remember their name for the creature, but it translates to "harbinger of pestilence". Apparently, these creatures were almost common pests during the height of the ancient Egyptian empire, but have since become quite rare. ''

''I was walking but one mile from the last village when I noticed one man chasing another in the distance. I ran closer and saw the aggressor grab the victim and woge into a horrendous Wesen the likes of which I had never seen. He had dark skin, hollow cheeks, glowing yellow eyes, and sparse hair on his head. The majority of his body was striped and seemingly decaying in a matter that made him look as if he was wrapped in dirty rags. The creature clenched his sharp and bony fingers on the man's arms and breathed out a dark cloud from between yellow fangs. The cloud enveloped the man's head and, in turn, he developed hollow cheeks and sunken eyes. Boils, blisters, and hives instantaneously burst from his skin and he began to cough up copious amounts of blood as the creature let him go. While the beast was still preoccupied, I shot him with a Sauver Sa Pau lined arrow from my Doppelarmbrust, so I could study his dead body. The victim could not be saved. I have named the new Wesen a Gefesselt for his strange appearrance and I have christened the disease which they secrete, which appears to have no common remedy, Atem der Mumie (breath of the mummy).''
