*Doctor Annika Lund was a Swedish archaeologist. A former student of American archaeologist Indiana Jones, the pair were unexpectedly reunited in Sukhothai, Siam in November 1937 when their Nazi counterpart Emmerich Voss from the Third Reich Special Antiquities Collection brought Lund onto his excavation in pursuit of the power behind the Great Circle.

From Sweden, Annika Lund studied archaeology under Indiana Jones and eventually earned a doctorate herself. During Jones' professorship at Marshall College, Lund wrote to him for a reference but her request became just one of several sticky notes that the American archaeologist's secretary added to the professor's outstanding obligations.

Around the early half of 1937, Emmerich Voss of the Third Reich Special Antiquities Collection launched a worldwide expedition in pursuit of the power behind the Great Circle, a global mystery which dated back thousands of years, and recruited Lund when he learned that she was Indiana Jones' student. At some point, Lund found a reference to the Idol of Yaksha while exploring Angkor Wat in Cambodia and sought it in Sukhothai, an area of Siam through which the Great Circle ran and where Voss and sympathetic Royal Italian Army (RE) forces were looking for one of seventeen stone scattered around the world hidden in statuary.

That November, Indiana Jones arrived in Sukhothai to undermine Voss' various digs and was led to the Demon's Tomb where Lund was working, drawn by a large explosion that RE soldiers had created to access the ruins. By the time he reached the operation, disgusted than any archaeologist would employ such methods in their work, it seemed that the area had been abandoned when he accidentally triggered an ancient booby-trap and survived his slide down into the tomb only because the bodies of Italian soldiers had cushioned his fall.

There, Lund and Jones, both stranded at the site, were reunited. The younger woman quickly realized that her one-time teacher hadn't even recognized her and she downplayed her knowledge of the extent to Voss' Nazi ambitions. Together, the two made their way to the idol, navigating the numerous protections that the superstitious Khmer had implemented to stop a so-called demon getting out of its resting place, before planning their escape route. Along the way, Jones tried to encourage Lund's capabilities and when she claimed the artifact, he made sure she knew that it was her research that had allowed them to get there but he underestimated how hurt she had been by being snubbed and was unaware to what extent Voss, who favored psychological manipulation in dealing with opponents, had a hold over her. Lund tricked Jones into triggering a trap and left him for dead while she escaped with the idol.

She had almost gotten out when she dropped the artifact but when Lund reached under the one of the doors near the exit to grab it, the heavy slab suddenly came down and took her entire arm with it. Investigating RE soldiers quickly carried her away for medical attention and Jones found the Idol of Yaksha alongside his former student's severed limb. With the Sukhothai Stone hidden elsewhere, the archaeologist gave the statue to local contact Pailin Chaladphukhealom instead.*
