Biography[]

Etchison was a construction worker and forklift driver from California. He was present the day that a crate containing the statue of Ahura Mazda was delivered for art collector Raymond Beaumont. One of his co-workers, Mickey Torelli, was drinking on the job and his clumsiness caused the crate to slip from the crane. It came crashing down on the dock, killing Beaumont's assistant, Ed Finney. Etchison poked through the broken remains of the statue and found a red fire opal - the Stone of the Secret Fire. Hoping that it would be worth something, he sold it to a pawn broker named Doug Clegg, who gave him a couple of hundred dollars for it.

Two days later, an appraiser named Alexandra Amberson visited Etchison's job and began asking him about the gem. Etchison denied knowing anything about it at first and asked Amberson if she was a cop. She told him that she wasn't and added that they would not need to involve the police if he was honest with her about the stone. Etchison told her that he sold it to Doug Clegg. When he mentioned how much Clegg paid him for it, he asked, "Did I get f***ed?", to which Ambersion replied, "Royally".

What Echison never knew was that the gem stone contained the essence of a powerful Djinn that was subsequently set free. After causing untold chaos and numerous deaths, the Djinn's power came to an end when Alex Amberson made a wish that undid the events of the past two days. As such, the crate containing the statue of Ahura Mazda never broke and Etchison never found the Stone of the Secret Fire. [1]
