Buzz Kehoe

bold urgent determined pragmatic

Buzz Kehoe is an Army Intelligence operative active in Shanghai who works with local ally Bang Chow to track Axis agents. He drives a battered Ford and serves in hands-on, high-risk roles: picking up Indiana Jones at the airport, transporting Bang Chow and a black suitcase to Tengtu Hok's palace/museum, concealing a fresh breach in the museum wall with a trash container, scanning for Indy while parked nearby, and then speeding away when Indy crashes through the roof. His behavior combines composed, decisive tradecraft in covert drop-offs with urgent, pragmatic action in counter-espionage situations.
