Character

German Henchmen

disciplined menacing alert patient threatening

Three tough German henchmen enforce Belloq's will in a smoky Cairo bar. They emerge from the haze to surround a drunken Indiana Jones, escort him across the room to Belloq's shadowed table, and settle nearby with hands in trenchcoat pockets. Poised and menacing, they flank Indy during the tense confrontation, standing alert and threatening until Belloq signals them to relax. Their silent discipline underscores Belloq's control and elevates the personal rivalry to guarded peril.
