Had an interesting idea, what if you merged the aesthetic of the invisible man from the 1933 film with a classic monster movie mummy?

Bio:

A famed archeologist and aristocrat, Girard once had it all until he discovered a source of eternal life. Buried deep in Egyptian ruins were the ancient remains of a shaman women prophesized to grant whoever found her with immortality. Girard found the shaman's remains and eternal life, though at a terrible cost, betraying and sacrificing his companions to complete the ritual. Girard would find that he was deceived by the ritual, left afflicted with necrosis as an undying. He sought to find a cure to his condition in a race against time before he would lose his humanity entirely. Girard's search would lead him to the Cursed Apple to seek favor with a patron that promised a solution to his condition. The mummy, now only known as the Jackal, is seldom seen in public.

Personality:

Jackal sees his teammates as a means to an end. He tries to rationalize his history of betraying others but only fools himself. He often reminisces about his adventures as an archeologist but tends to exaggerate details. shares some similar character traits to the Spy.

Proposed Skills:

1. Scornful grasp: Jackal links to nearby enemies, amplifying damage toward enemies in line of sight (close range). A small portion of the damage inflicted to one target is transmitted to all linked enemies .
2. Sand step: Jackal transforms into a sand cloud for a limited time (with a trail of wrappings), in this state he is unable to attack, gains evasion, movement speed and is immune to stuns.
3. Forbidden knowledge (PASSIVE): Jackal accrues souls at a greater rate (soul multiplier).
4. Rebirth (ULT): activating rebirth puts Jackal into a state where he will immediately revive in the location of his death with 50% health, this ability lasts for a limited time (3 seconds?) it must be activated before death and has a visual indicator to enemies.

Jackal is a close-range support character with a rapid-fire sidearm (Low dmg, fast reload, semi auto, good capacity) who focuses on item utility, survivability, and evasion.
