History Characters / IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade

* TokenGoodTeammate: Deconstructed. She despises the Nazis and is in fact disgusted by them, just wanting to find the Grail, but as Indy points out she's still working with the ''Nazis''. All her hatred of them doesn't matter when she's still directly aiding them for her ken selfish ends.

** She may be working for the Nazis, but at the rally, she's clearly disgusted and horrified by the book-burning and general anti-intellectualism of the Third Reich.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:She makes it out of the cavern alive in two different games adapatating the movie, unlike in the movie itself]].

* ColonelKilgore: He is a [[ThoseWackyNazis SS Standartenführer]] and a total {{Jerkass}}.
** Should be noted, that judging by his uniform, Vogel was a member of Allgemeine SS - uniformed and militarized, but the administrative and non-combative branch of the SS. That means, while his Standartenführer rank corresponds to the army colonel, having actual military training and education wasn't part of the calculus.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: When English boxer Creator/PatRoach's obligatory PunchPunchPunchUhOh fight scene with Creator/HarrisonFord was cut by ExecutiveMeddling, Vogel stepped in to give our hero a vicious, brutal beating with shovels and chains atop a tank careening towards a canyon in ''The Last Crusade''.
** Moments later, Indy gives this to Vogel by slamming his face repeatedly into the tank's roof until he was semi-conscious (Indiana didn't have time to beat him unconscious since he saw that the tank was about to drive off a cliff).
* OhCrap: His reaction when he sees the tank is about to go off a cliff.

-->'''Kazim''': The secret of the Grail has been safe for a thousand years. And in all that time, the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword has been prepared to do ''[[IDidWhatIHadToDo anything]]'' to keep it safe.

* AncientKeeper: He has been the guardian of the grail for centuries.

* FateWorseThanDeath: While he doesn't look particularly unhinged; the still had to spend something like 800 years alone in a room without sunlight and only water to drink.

* TheGhost: In ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' where he is mentioned many times, but never appears on screen.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' and ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''. And despite being dead by the time of ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheDialOfDestiny'', his legacy is what drives the plot and Vosser's plan.

* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: In spirit, there is nothing anyone, including Indy, could do to stop Hitler from starting UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, as [[SavedByCanon he would meet his end via suicide inside his bunker at the tail-end of the said-war]]. ''Dial of Destiny'' notably features literal TimeTravel and a plot to kill Hitler before the invasion of Poland, but the perpetrators are [[spoiler:the surviving Nazis who [[BrokenPedestal blame their Führer for losing the war]]. Of course, owing to the classic trope, they fail because they didn't realize the time travel method they're using operates on StableTimeLoop laws]].

* HoneyTrap: Slept with both Jones to gain their trust and collect intel. [[BecomingTheMash She genuinely comes to love Indy]], but not Henry.

* EpicFail: By sheer chance Indy accidentally hand delivers the Grail Diary, which Hitler had his men looking for the entire film straight to the dictator, but due to the circumstances Hitler thinks Indy is a loyal German officer and so '''''signs the book and hands it back''''' without ever realizing what he was holding.

* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: In spirit, there is nothing anyone, including Indy, could do to stop Hitler from starting UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, as [[SavedByCanon he would meet his end via suicide inside his bunker at the tail-end of the said-war]]. ''Dial of Destiny'' notably features literal TimeTravel and a plot to kill Hitler before the invasion of Poland, but the perpetrators are [[spoiler:the surviving Nazis who came to [[BrokenPedestal blame their Führer for losing the war]]. Of course, owing to the classic trope, they fail because they didn't realize the time travel method they're using operates on StableTimeLoop laws]].

* BadBoss: In ''The Dial of Destiny'', Weber is utterly baffled that Voller thinks proposing using the Dial to Hitler would work when they've just failed to find the Lance of Longinus. As he points out, Hitler will just as likely kill them on the spot.

* DirtyCoward: In ''The Dial of Destiny'', Indy taunts Weber that Hitler is currently hiding in his bunker in a ruined Berlin, asking the Colonel why he still follows his supposed great leader.

* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: In spirit, there is nothing anyone, including Indy, could do to stop Hitler from starting UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, as [[SavedByCanon he would meet his end via suicide inside his bunker at the tail-end of the said-war]]. ''The Dial of Destiny'' in particular actually features literal TimeTravel and a plot to kill Hitler before the invasion of Poland, but the perpetrators are [[spoiler:the surviving Nazis who came to [[BrokenPedestal blame their Führer for losing the war]]. Of course, owing to the classic trope, they fail because they didn't realize the time travel method they're using operates on StableTimeLoop laws]].

* BrokenPedestal: To the surviving Nazis, especially to [[DoctorVonTurncoat Jürgen Voller]]. Voller in particular believes the Allies only won the war because of [[GeneralFailure Hilter's incompetence]]. They still believe in Nazism though, just one [[spoiler:Hitler is removed from the center of the party and ideology]].

* GeneralFailure: Voller believes Nazi Germany lost the war because Hitler making all the wrong choices.

* EpicFail: By sheer chance Indy accidentally hand delivers the Grail Diary, which Hitler had his men looking for the entire film straight to the dictator, but due to the circumstances Hitler thinks Indy is a loyal German officer and so '''''signs the book and hands it back''''' without ever realizing what he was holding,
* TheGhost: In ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' where he is mentioned many times, but never appears on screen.

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: While he's never directly mentioned in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'', any student of history will know that he dies during the 19 year gap between ''The Last Crusade'' and that film. Specifically, that he commits suicide in his bunker in 1945, 7 years after the events of the third film.

* EvilCounterpart: Donovan is essentially the evil counterpart to both Henry and Marcus.

* FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler:Makes a good show of being pleasant and affable even after he's revealed as the main villain, but he ''is'' freely collaborating with the Nazis and when push comes to shove he proves willing to shoot Indy's father in the gut to force Indy to retrieve the Holy Grail for him.]]

* FriendOrIdolDecision: Inverted, as she is the one in danger here, but the end of the film requires her to choose between accepting Indy's help and letting the Grail go or reaching out for the Grail first. She chooses the latter, which gets her killed.

* HoneyTrap: Slept with both Jones to gain their trust and collect intel.

* SelfDisposingVillain: Her FatalFlaw does her in.

* TakeMyHand: Elsa refuses this request by Indiana and pays with her life.

* BadBoss: In ''The Dial of Destiny'', Weber is utterly baffled that Vosser thinks proposing using the Dial to Hitler would work when they've just failed to find the Lance of Longinus. As he points out, Hitler will just as likely kill them on the spot.

* UnfortunateNames: The German word ''Vogel'', which means "bird," is often used as "oddball" or "weirdo". Unfortunately for the colonel, the word ''ernst'' also means "serious(-ly)". ''Der Oberst Ernst Vogel ist ernst ein Vogel!''

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' and ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''.
