Archaeologist

Asgarnia Smith is a non-player-character that plays a role in the Desert Treasure quest. He is the NPC that a player has to talk to so that Desert Treasure can be started. He is a archaeologist looking for treasure and is one of many NPCs based on Indiana Jones (such as Anna Jones and Orlando Smith, though he could be related to Orlando Smith), as he seems to have a whip attached to his belt. After completing Desert Treasure a player can talk to him to hear of his adventures, which are very similar to the plot of several Indiana Jones movies. He will tell you that he has heard of treasure in Karamja, and he will be going there.
