Giant Sherpa

formidable combative resilient opportunistic quick-allied

Giant Sherpa, a massive seven-foot patron at Marion's Raven bar in Nepal, crashes into the Nazi firefight. He tackles Indy from behind in the chaos, wrestles fiercely for control of the .45 pistol, then pivots to ally with him—exchanging alarmed glances before jointly gunning down the Second Nazi. Indy counters by smashing his wrist with a spittoon, kicking him, and later upending him amid flames; the Sherpa absorbs punishment resiliently until a chair to the head knocks him out cold. His intervention shifts the brawl's momentum, blending raw power with opportunistic combat instincts.
