Indiana Jones me

I'm writing Santa's Wrath 2 (real title - Ace Hawkins and Santa's Revenge).  In chapter one I've got an Indiana Jones cameo.  As per Pete's advise, I'm using the Name Illinois Smith to a avoid copyright trouble (I wanted to call him "Indy" and "Dr Jones" without ever actually using Indiana Jones, but Pete figured that was still too close).  He's over 100 years old and retired to house in the Upper Amazon (there's a reason for this, btw).  Any ideas to make his character complete?  Any minor details that I could bring out on his personality.  I've got the hat and the whip hung on the wall (of course), but I need some minor quirks and details to really bring him to life.

Current Location: My own little world.
Current Mood: writing

He could still be intensely bitter about being "named after the dog." Maybe he's become the male equivalent of the crazy cat lady, living in solitude with 25 felines.

49 dogs -- each one named for a state.

That is cool as shit. I think I'll go there. I like Pete's additional state idea, too.

Well obviously you know why you're putting him in there. I'd say do the rest through dialogue. Have artifacts around the house and him explain how he got a few of them while nearly getting speared by natives etc., but mostly make him the smarmy, impatient wise ass that he is.
