Vinegaroon was one of three thieves who stole the legendary "Red Ruby of Death" from a Tibetan temple. After noticing the theft, the abbot of the temple ordered one of his followers to find the thieves and recover the ruby. The monk managed to locate the lost jewel, but the Vinegaroon killed him. Then a bloody game of betrayal began. First, Vinegaroon strangled one of his accomplices to death, so that he could be the sole owner of the ruby, but then, the third thief betrayed the evil Vinegaroon and shot him. The Vinegaroon faced the other thief and despite being injured, broke his neck during the fight. It was then revealed that the Ruby of Death that was in the Vinegaroon's possession was nothing more than a replica that the monk had managed to exchange for the real one before the villain murdered him. The real ruby already shone again in the temple, where it had remained guarded by the monks during countless centuries. After recovering from his wounds, Vinegaroon returned to Tibet and this time he made sure to take the true ruby. In retaliation for the inconveniences that they had caused him, he killed many monks and set fire to the temple to exterminate the rest. The remaining big question is what were the true powers of the Ruby of Death for which so much blood had shed...
