Graduated from the Colorado' School of Mines and spent his early years prospecting and working mines
in search of precious gems such as opals in Australia, emeralds in Colombia and rubies in Tanzania. He
also did a fruitless three-year hunt on Japan's northern island of Hokkaido for the rarest of rare gems,
Red Painite. Shortly before he reached thirty, he was courted by an obscure Washington intelligence
agency and appointed a special agent under contract. Once inside the tunnel on Corregidor, Mancuso
finds a number of trucks and a small auto house trailer made of aluminum. That convinces him that the
Japanese returned for Yamashita's Gold. When he meets Pitt at the Federal Headquarters Building, he is
described as a thin older man with shoulder-length hair. Enters Soseki Island but is taken prisoner. Freed
by Pitt, he returns to the United States.
