Who is Mr. Jacquel from American Gods and what is their importance?

Mr. Jacquel is an Egyptian god of the embalming, Anubis. He can appear as a jackal, or a man with the head of a jackal. He and Mr. Ibis own the Ibis and Jacquel Funeral Parlor in Cairo, Illinois, where Shadow works for a while. When Shadow is holding vigil for Wednesday and dies, Jacquel judges Shadow's soul in the Hall of the Dead.
