Forrestal

"Competitor. He was good, very good."

- Indiana Jones

James Frederick Forrestal was an archaeologist from Princeton University who, along with a team of porters, disappeared sometime in 1935 while searching for the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol in Peru.

Upon his disappearance, the National Museum contracted Indiana Jones to follow Forrestal's notes and research so that he could both find out what happened to Forrestal's missing expedition and, if possible, recover the Idol.

It was in the Chachapoyan Temple that Jones discovered Forrestal's body, speared by one of the many traps protecting the Idol.

The fate of Forrestal's porters remains unknown; it is thought that they were ambushed and killed by the Hovitos tribe, though their bodies have never been found.
