Sheriff

calculating deceitful dismissive corrupt indifferent

The Sheriff responds to young Indiana Jones's call for aid against grave robbers by arriving at the front room with Herman. He questions Indy's possession of the Cross of Coronado, takes it casually, and feigns support before betraying him—handing the artifact directly to Fedora and exposing his collusion with the relic thieves. He departs with a tipped hat, embodying corrupt frontier authority that prioritizes personal gain over justice in 1912 Utah.
