His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He was the primary one in charge of the slavery of the children having them whipped and tortured to get them working in the mines.
- While flat in character, he takes sadistic pleasure in torturing and enslaving the children laughing and smiling many times during the movie, allowing him to avoid being insufficiently characterized.
- Tries to crush Indy to death using the rock crusher.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- While his crimes are absolutely awful, almost all of them are done under Mola Ram's orders, the child slavery stuff while Mola Ram was the one who ordered the kidnapping of the children and the enslavement, the genocide stuff comes from supporting Mola Ram, which makes him fail the Heinous Standards to not only Ram, but also to other brutal henchmen such as Klaber. The only thing the Chief Guard does that is unique is attempting to kill Indy, which is bog-standard, though to be fair, somewhat cruel as he wanted to get Indy crushed to death by the rock crusher.
Trivia[]
- The Chief Guard is, alongside Adolf Hitler, one of the two Indiana Jones Near Pure Evil villains to not be from a video game.
