Three Nazi German officers who act as Belloq's military-diplomatic representatives.

Under officers such as Shliemann and Gobler they coordinate the corralling of personnel and order the Ark's urgent evacuation to Cairo, combining diplomatic leverage with military discipline amid escalating sabotage.
