Initially, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was going to involve Marion again and Abner would have made his debut, but then George Lucas decided to have Indiana Jones have a new love interest in each film, much like James Bond at the time.
The amazing Indiana Jones reference site, TheRaider. Net, explains , "The character named "Fedora" played by Richard Young in the credits was, in the script, originally named Abner Ravenwood, Marion Ravenwood's father and Indiana's mentor who was mentioned in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Ravenwood's lifelong obsession was to find the Ark of the Covenant. Abner Ravenwood spent his early days assisting Flinders Petrie , helping excavate Palestine , and earned degrees in history and archaeology at Yale and Harvard.
On one occasion, while discussing anthropology with Sir Adrian Braidthwaite , Ravenwood accused the British of practicing "armchair anthropology," theorizing on other cultures from the comfort of home, based on reports from braver individuals.
Braidthwaite bristled at the suggestion, but later realized the accusation was largely correct. Ravenwood's accusation was partially the impetus for Braidthwaite's expedition into Africa. At some point in his career, Ravenwood explored Malekula , an island in the Pacific Ocean , where he lost an Ebony Dove after being chased off by the island's inhabitants.

Ravenwood later explained that he believed the Ark was buried somewhere else, and that one day a real archaeologist would find it.

His summers spent on excavations in Egypt and the Middle East , amassing clues to find the Ark of the Covenant, led to obsession. When Ravenwood's scholarly obligations suffered as a result of ignoring them, it prompted the University of Chicago to ask him to give up on the relic or leave.
Abner chose the latter and continued his search. Abner used their income to finance his excavations in the surrounding mountains. In , struggling with funding, Abner sent Indiana Jones his journal with a written request for his assistance in finding the Ark of the Covenant on one last expedition before returning to Marshall College.
A journal reported on an expedition by Abner and Jones in Sinkiang. In their last conversation together, Abner accused the then twenty-eight-year-old of taking advantage of Marion's "brainless infatuation" with Jones, and twisting her to his purpose. While exploring the Himalayas in the s, Ravenwood—as an authority on antiquities of Orient—was interviewed by a newspaper via cablegram interested in his opinion on the lost tomb of Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang.
