Character

Blond Driver

focused resilient alert skilled

The Blond Driver pilots the lead open German staff car for the Nazi convoy transporting the crated Ark of the Covenant. He carries Belloq, Shliemann, and an armed guard from the tent camp, speeds through mountain roads to evade Indy's truck, executes hairpin turns, withstands repeated rear-end collisions, and survives the car smashing off-road into an embankment before recovering to pursue. He later steers through Omar's square, scanning for the vanished truck amid the impromptu bazaar camouflage. His steady handling under duress aids the officers' command during the high-stakes chase.
