In 1931, Ali Bey-Faisal was hired by René Belloq to steal the five Wohat Statues of mammals, in order to use them to find the Invincible Ruby. Bey-Faisal planned to double-cross Belloq and claim the ruby as his own. With two henchmen, one wearing a turban, and one with a goatee, Bey-Faisal managed to steal the set of five. After the theft of the lion figure from the Barcelona History Museum, Bey-Faisal and Belloq plotted to trick Indiana Jones into solving the puzzle of the mammal statues for them.
