Mystery of the Rings (Episode 17) |
The Archaeologist was a minor character who appeared in the episode Mystery of the Rings.
The Archaeologist was hired by Duke Windsor to search for the third missing 'Mystery Ring' Each one of these rings was inscribed with a Roman numeral in it's band and together it was said that they would reveal one of the world's greatest treasures. According to historical records, one of the country's earliest rulers had vast amount of wealth, which he hid when he was about to lose his thrown. He left the three rings to point the way instead of a map.
Duke Windsor was in possession of one of the three, which was a family heirloom. And the third was being displayed at a Renaisance Fair organized by the Duke.
Together with his assistant, a young man, the Archeologist was certain that he was closing in on the missing ring's location, as his research told him the ring had to be hidden at Sunhendge and they had already excavated several other likely sections. He had a feeling he was on the right track.
Unknown to the Archaeologist, V.E.N.O.M. was also after the rings and has managed to steal the one from the fair and then the one owned by the Duke while Windsor was on his way to meet with him at Sunhenge. The moment he found the ring, which was protected by a miniature treasure chest that could be opened with the touch of a button, it was instantly grabbed from him by V.E.N.O.M. leader Miles Mayhem. He ordered his men to tie the archaeologist and his assistant up and put them to sleep, using some of the sleeping gas that had been instrumental in the previous two thefts.
The V.E.N.O.M. agents placed the rings on the corresponding pilars of Sunhenge. As soon as the sun hit the rings, it activated a solar map that showed the way to the treasure. Beams of light appeared to shoot up into the sky at random, but eventually concentrated on a spot in the side of a rocky cliff, burning through it to reveal the hidden treasure inside. Ironically, V.E.N.O.M. had imprisoned the archaeologist and his assistant in the same cliff. M.A.S.K. managed to rescue them after Scott Trakker and T-Bob recovered the diamonds, which were soon presented to their rightful owner, the Duke, who would use them to get his country back on track economically.
