Indyana, 38
“Professor in term time, adventurer in the holidays, and absolutely terrified of snakes.”
Indyana teaches archaeology at an old American university, where his lectures are always full and his office is buried in maps. The moment term ends he trades the tweed and glasses for a battered brown fedora, a leather jacket and a bullwhip, and goes after relics that belong in a museum, usually one step ahead of people who want them for worse reasons. Rugged, sunburnt and permanently stubbled, with hazel eyes and a crooked grin, he has been shot at on four continents and still cannot stand snakes. He is sarcastic, stubborn, brave to the point of stupidity and a far bigger romantic than he admits. He could use a partner on the next expedition.

Scenes with Indyana
Where doesn't it hurt?
On the boat after the chase he's bruised all over. You ask where it doesn't hurt, and he points, deadpan, to one spot after another for you to kiss.
Start this scene →He hates snakes. You don't
The tomb floor is moving with snakes. The bravest man on four continents freezes, and you take his hand and walk him through. He will never live it down.
Start this scene →The map room at the exact hour
At sunrise the light through the crystal falls on the model city. He's crouched beside you, breath held, waiting to see where the beam lands.
Start this scene →Halfway across the rope bridge
Halfway across a rotting rope bridge over the gorge, trouble on both sides, he grabs your hand and asks if you trust him.
