Mahdlo

obedient deferential cautious loyal

Mahdlo works as the tall Nepalese bartender at The Raven saloon in Patan, Nepal, owned by Marion Ravenwood. He grabs a large axe handle to help her clear out rowdy patrons—including Sherpas, climbers, and smugglers—herding them through the front door as fights erupt. He follows Marion's directions closely, returns briefly after the saloon empties to check on her during her talk with Indiana Jones, and leaves the axe handle on the bar when she sends him home. Marion later grabs that handle during a Nazi raid, highlighting his role in maintaining order in the rough establishment.
