![]() The Americans, however, knew better than to do that and decided to pay Beni only half of his commission once they met and the other half once they were safely back in Cairo. –Rick O'Connell and Beni upon re-meeting., The Mummyīeni eventually made his living as the guide of a rowdy trio of Americans seeking the City of the Dead, but Beni's idea was simply to take the money given him by the Americans, lead them out into the desert and leave them all to die. They pay me only half now, how half when I get them back to Cairo, so this time I must go all the way. Unfortunately, no: these Americans are smart. So what's the scam, Beni, you take them out into the middle of the desert and then you leave 'em to rot? So you're the one leading these Americans, I might have known. O'Connell, forced to fight, stood alone and eventually made it back to civilization, while Beni escaped the desert by taking the camels of a few dead legionnaires and making it back alone through the desert. O'Connell rushed to the ruins to hide from the bullets, but Beni rushed there too, forcing shut a great stone door so that O'Connell could not enter. Trouble came, however, when a marauding band of Tuaregs came roving to the ruins on horseback, eliminating a number of legionnaires. To escape persecution, Beni joined the French Foreign Legion, and in doing so met Rick O'Connell, whom he claimed as a friend during their enlistment with the real intent of having a bodyguard so as not to end up in trouble. –Beni Gabor explains his motives for joining the Legion, The Mummy (novelization)īeni Gabor, formerly of Budapest, Hungary, was wanted in Hungary for robbing a synagogue, and had apparently robbed more than that before from places of worship, justifying his motives by saying that "prime swag" was in places of worship, with no-one to guard it but altar boys. They're after me in Budapest for robbing a synagogue. Throughout his life, Beni stole from virtually everyone that he could, his thievery earning him the worst trouble once he went too far and was compelled to enter military service so as to escape the ramifications. A small, thin thief motivated by greed and avarice, Beni Gabor was a man of superstition and an opportunist, seizing whatever chance he could to ensure that he walked off free of trouble and laden with swag.
