Seidread

Doctor Seidread was a duplicitous archaeologist. Upon learning a book had been found containing a map to the tomb of knight Lancelot duLac, he stole the tome from his rivals and flew to England to be its discoverer.

Upon arrival he hired a group to try and prevent the others from following him, but ended up being captured by Nazi spies who were operating as priests in the church above the tomb's location near Fountains Abbey.

Seidread's rivals caught up to him and were also taken prisoner alonside him in a cavern beneath the church. Seidread began bartering for his release, giving up his knowledge of the tomb and offering to split the reward with the Nazis. They agreed but Seidread's rivals managed to escape, and in the process located the tomb's entrance first.

Seidred led his new allies to them, navigating the traps protecting Sir Lancelot and his treasures. Seidread faced his rivals but once they escaped once more, this time with the prize he sought.

The archaeologist took on his opponents again over a jungle temple and may have lost his life in a crash but the doctor's body went unrecovered.
