Chief Guard

The Chief Guard, as his name implies, was the commander of Mola Ram's Thuggee guards and also helped oversee the enslaved children in the mines. He was a very ruthless, coldhearted man.

The huge, powerfully built man fought with Indiana Jones in the mines. The large Thuggee attacked Jones after Jones freed the children. Jones landed several good punches on him but the guard brushed them off and punched Jones and then threw him a mine cart. Short Round tried to help Indy, but was pushed down by the guard. The guard then pushed the cart until it gained momentum to move itself. Jones and the guard fought in the cart with the guard winning.

The cart stopped at the top of the ramp and flipped both men onto a conveyor belt which led to a rock crusher. On the conveyor belt, Jones and the guard fought each other with both men landing heavy blows but whenever Indy gained the upper hand, he was paralysed via a voodoo doll at the hands of Zalim Singh until Short Round disabled the Maharajah.

Willie Scott assisted Jones by throwing rocks at the guard and giving Jones things to hit him with. The guard was finally defeated when he was caught in the rock crusher. Despite Jones' attempts to rescue him, the guard was pulled into the machine and crushed to death.

Behind the scenes
The Chief Guard was played by Pat Roach.

The character, also appears as a boss to overcome in LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. Unlike the film, Zalim Singh replenishes the Chief Guard's health. The player is only able to deal lasting damage to the guard once they free Short Round and use him to rout the maharajah.
