Taklit was the second of the four Disciples of Marduk investigated by Indiana Jones. He was an ancient Babylonian priest who spent his final years in Palawan.
Biography[]
After the Infernal Machine was dismantled, Taklit took one of the parts with him to Palawan in the Philippines. Taklit was evidently not in solitude on the island as a seemingly now-extinct tribe of workers and builders helped him construct an enormous temple inside Palawan Volcano itself. Taklit created some brutish rock creatures to guard various areas of his temple. To protect his machine part, Taklit created a giant monster made entirely of lava and placed it in an underground chamber on the side of the volcano. Taklit died of unknown causes and was apparently respected by the native islanders, since Jones, uncovering the temple in 1947, decided he may have Taklin's remains as those inside a coffin. The coffin sat, unburied, atop a decorative funeral barge in a water-filled chamber.[1]
