Amos Hungerford

Amos Hungerford was a billionaire who led an expedition to India sometimes during Indiana Jones's teenage years. Alongside him were Jones and his father Henry Jones, Sr., as well as many crewmen. The reason behind the expedition was secretly that Hungerford could get his hands on the Ivory Iskander.

Biography
Some point before 1914, Hungerford became a billionaire by the theft of artifacts and selling them, although this was not made public. In 1914, he sets his sights on the Ivory Iskander and travelled to India with hopes of aquiring it. He invited professor Henry Jones, Sr. and his son Indiana to join him on the expedition. When they arrived at their destination, he planned to use recent tiger attacks to his advantage by setting a tiger up to attack the king's son Prince Kasim and then save Kasim's life from the tiger so that the king would consider giving him the Ivory Iskander as a sign of thanks.

However, when the tiger attacked, he fainted from fear, leaving Indiana and Kasim to fight the tiger off. Kasim ended up killing the tiger and then revealed Hungerford's scheme to the king. To avoid giving money to Kasim for saving his life, he admitted to the scheme and left the country.
