Belloq is a shady dealer in rare artifacts. He needs some persuasion before he will reveal his sources. This immoral entrepreneur is constantly working an illegal get-rich-quick scheme. Believe it or not, he’s more tired of you than you are of him.
“You’re as nosy as an Elephant. And soon to be skinned like a Zebra!”
Belloq
René Emile Belloq was a French archaeologist and rival of his American counterpart Indiana Jones.
In 1936, after claiming a golden Chachapoyan fertility idol from Jones in Peru, Belloq was hired by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler to assist in the Reich’s search for the Ark of the Covenant, an expedition that would ultimately be his undoing.
“So once again, Jones, what was briefly yours is now mine.”
