In his first recorded case Dakor was hired by George Hargate to track down and recover the Blooded Ruby of of Chung. Hargate had purchased the ruby that had been stolen from it's worshipers, but now hired Dakor to recover it and return to its proper people. This happened after his son was murdered by Tom Denver, who suffered from the ruby's curse of making those who gaze upon it to become murderously greedy and seek to obtain it no matter what. Dakor followed Denver and learned that he had joined the French Foreign Legion. Joining up himself he attempted to recover the ruby from Denver. During an attack on the Legions base, Denver fled with Dakor not far behind. Both were captured by the Tuareg tribe. When they learned about the ruby, they also sought to obtain it by threatening Denver with death. Dakor then used his magical powers to break free and save Denver's life. Dakor killed the Tuareg's leader and recovered the ruby by telepathically plucking it's location from Denver's mind. He then returned it to the Temple of Chung and obtained his payment of $50,000.
