'''Asgarnia Smith''' is an archeologist that plays a role in the [[Desert Treasure]] quest. Players begin the quest by talking to him. He is searching for treasure and is one of many NPCs based on the fictional character [[wikipedia:Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones]] (such as [[Anna Jones]] and [[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. According to Smith, he once managed to recover a [[Karamja]]n artefact known as the [[Golden Monkey of Tee-Tah-Toh]]. He also tells the player that he has heard of more treasure in [[Karamja]], and he will be going there shortly.

== Trivia ==
*Asgarnia Smith looks extremely similar to [[Maverick]] . His hat appears to be tipped at a slightly different angle, and he seems to be a bit darker.
*Asgarnia Smith is a reference to [[wikipedia:Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones]], a character in a real-world [[wikipedia:Indiana Jones (franchise)#Films|series of films]], who was originally going to be called Indiana Smith. His name is akin to Jones' as well, with the name of an area as his first name (Asgarnia is a kingdom in RuneScape and Indiana is an American State), and a very common surname (Jones and Smith are both common in Western cultures). This is further proven with the examine text, as Indiana Jones was also an archaeologist.
*He could be related to [[Orlando Smith]], as they share a last name.
*When talking to him after completing Desert Treasure, the player refers to [[Azzanadra]] as a [[demon]] rather than a [[mahjarrat]]. However, this is an easy mistake to make for someone who have never seen a mahjarrat before, they are shapeshifters anyway, and Azzanadra isn't in the mahjarrat default form when he is released.
*He claims to be the one who discovered Temple of Ikov and Brimhaven Arena.
*He intoduces himself as "Archaeologist extraordinaire"
