Francis Beresford-Hope

Sir Francis Beresford-Hope was an archaeologist who searched for the Tomb of the Gods. He was an acquaintance of Marcus Brody, when they were both at Oxford. At some point after, Beresford-Hope earned a title.

In 1931, along with Marwell O'Brien and Henrik Mellberg, he recovered an artifact related to the Tomb of the Gods in a diamond mine north of Norilsk, Siberia. The three discovers split the key into three pieces, and each kept a piece.

By 1936, he had moved to Tibet, where he lived in a cave not far from Lhasa and locals knew him as the "crazy Englisman" who bought ammo and beer. He also scrawled the walls and ceiling of his home with crazy notations and images about the key and a map.

After Mellberg entrusted Indiana Jones with the quest of preventing the Nazis from collecting all three pieces of the key, Jones and Brody flew to Tibet in search of Beresford-Hope and found his cave and marveled at the sanity of the man who had drawn the images all over the walls. While the two were still inside, someone threw dynamite into the cave.

Beresford-Hope's fate is unknwon.
