Mr. Jacquel in American Gods is a stylized depiction of the Egyptian deity Anubis. When it comes to the ancient Egyptian funeral cult Anubis, also known as Anpu, has control over the land of the dead and has been connected with it. In addition to “King of the Necropolis,” he’s also known as “The Embalmer.” Anubis appears as a jackal or a man with a jackal’s head in descriptions, paintings, sketches, and sculptures.

Although Anubis was a prominent deity in Egypt throughout the Early Dynastic and Old Kingdom eras. He was eclipsed by Osiris, an Egyptian god who is presiding over not only the dead and the afterlife but also resurrection, life, and vegetation. Anubis was the one who pieced Osiris’ corpse back together after he was slain and disfigured by his brother Seth so that Isis and Nephtys could raise him. Mummification considered a road to immortality in ancient Egypt, developed as a copy of Anubis’ work on Osiris’ body. During mummification, ancient Egyptian funerary priests donned a ceremonial Anubis costume.
