Character

Nazi agents (German military operatives)

determined obsessive

Collective German military operatives working on behalf of the Nazi regime who pursue supernatural archaeological relics. Across the narrative they perform intelligence and seizure operations: they intercept communiqués that help pinpoint Tanis as the site of the Staff of Ra headpiece and aggressively seize the Bantu Wind—crowding the crew into submission, holding Marion Ravenwood captive, and removing the crated Ark of the Covenant under orders from officers such as Major Shliemann and overseers like Belloq. Their actions combine disciplined military procedure with an obsessive drive to harness relic power.
