Belzig

sadistic menacing obedient brutal vindictive
Belzig directs Nazi assaults during the Ark pursuit as a sadistic enforcer under Shliemann's command. He leads four attackers into Marion's tavern, taunts her, and presses a glowing poker to her skin until she reveals Indy's medallion, which sears his hand with a sun-shaped burn. He displays the scar during a Heil salute in the command tent, carries a torture case to Marion's interrogation, restrains her at the dig site, pushes her into the Well of Souls, packs Ark supplies, and rides in the lead convoy truck that screams off a cliff and explodes.
