Character biography

The father of renowned archaeologist Indiana Jones, Jones Sr. is a professor of medieval history (he received his degree from the University of Oxford on June 5, 1899) who, according to his son, is "the one the students hope they don't get." ^[1] Dr. Henry Indiana Jones, Jr. ...

A driven man, Jones Sr. was fascinated by the search for the Holy Grail, keeping all the clues he found regarding its whereabouts in his Grail diary. He is apparently a Christian (although his denomination is unclear). Certainly he does not tolerate his son using Jesus's name in vain, slapping the younger Jones across the face when he does so and telling him, "That's for blasphemy."^[1] For historical artifacts associated with the cup of the Last Supper, see Holy Chalice. ...

Seemingly finding parenting difficult, Jones Sr. did not bond with his son during his childhood; after the death of his wife Anna from scarlet fever, the gulf between father and son grew to the point where they rarely spoke. To Indiana Jones's disgust, Jones Sr. refers to his son only as "Junior".

Jones Sr. has a crippling fear of rats. Species 50 species; see text *Several subfamilies of Muroids include animals called rats. ...

While on the expedition, he discovers that his colleague (Elsa Schneider, with whom he is having a brief affair) was working for the Nazis. Jones Sr. mails his Grail diary, with its many vital clues, to his son for safekeeping - shortly afterwards he (whilst working in a Venetian library) was captured by Nazi officials and interred in Brunwald Castle on the Austrian border.
