Hans Degen

Hans Degen was a German assassin who was tasked by Adolf Hitler with killing Indiana Jones.

Biography
In 1936, Hans Degen was tasked by Adolf Hitler with the execution of Indiana Jones, who caused a great deal of damage to the Nazis in the past few months.

After he confronted Indy in the mountains near Merthyr Tydfil, his life was saved by Indy after the unconscious Tarrant, attempted to kill Degen from behind. As a form of appreciation, Degen gave Indy another 24 hours, before he would kill him.

Accompanying Indy and his companions to Switzerland while posing as a Scotland Yard official, he was captured alongside Indy by Ismailis in a nearby castle owned by Ben Ali Ayoob, and, with Marcus Brody, tied up, while Indy fought against a bear in the arena. Being rescued, he saved Indy's and Brody's life by attempting to defeat said bear.

Seemingly defeating the bear, he headed towards Ben Ali Ayoob's office, and grabbed the Devil's Heart. Being shot by Ayoob, the artifact fell into the chimney, absorbing Ayoob, and seemingly killing him in the process.

Personality
Degen took no pleasure in violence.
