Renee Emile Belloq was a French archaeologist and long-time rival of Indiana Jones. He was known for following Indy around, waiting until the right moment to step in and steal whatever priceless artifact Jones had just risked his life to recover, such as the golden idol in South America. When the Nazis needed someone to help them find the Well of Souls in Tanis, they recruited Belloq. During his time in Tanis, the normally cold Belloq took quite a shine to Marion Ravenwood, so much so that he was deeply saddened when his German superiors, Colonel Dietrich and Toht, threw her down to be buried alive in the Well of Souls with Jones. However, when both Indy and Marion escaped and were aboard the Bantu Wind, Belloq took her back and made certain that the Nazis did nothing to harm her. Unfortunately for him, Belloq's gentle treatment of Marion was only one good deed in a lifetime of wrongdoing, and thus he died along with Dietrich, Toht, and all the other Nazis when the Ark of the Covenant was opened on an unnamed island, unleashing the wrath of God on them all.
