Forrestal

ambitious daring reckless
Forrestal is a rival explorer and artifact hunter who preceded Indiana Jones into the booby-trapped Chachapoyan temple in Peru. Driven by ambition to claim the golden idol, he perished when spikes impaled him in the Chamber of Light. His skeletal remains stand as a grim warning of the temple's lethal defenses to all who follow. Competitive with Jones, Forrestal embodies the high-stakes gamble of their profession, where bold raids on ancient sites promise glory but deliver swift death to the unprepared.
