Albrecht Von Beck

The secondary villain of "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb", Albrecht Von Beck is an avid hunter and a loyal member of the Nazi Third Reich. He made a deal with Marshall Kai of the Black Dragon Triad gang and was tasked to find the first piece of the Mirror of Dreams in Ceylon. Dressed in hunter fatigues, Von Beck led a group of Ivory Hunters to an ancient temple in Ceylon only to find that the American archaeologist Indiana Jones was also searching for it. Von Beck decided to follow Jones quietly and wait for him to get the treasure. After seeing him escape from a giant crocodile, Von Beck holds Jones at gunpoint and demands the idol be given to him. Indy does so but later punched Von Beck causing him to drop the idol. Von Beck is later tossed into the water and is pulled under by the crocodile and presumed dead.

Von Beck however escaped the crocodile but he was left scarred in his right cheek and his right eye was replaced with a glass ball. He captured Jones in a castle in Prague after he recovered the second piece of the Mirror of Dreams and reveals his true colors. Now dressed in a black business suit with a black leather trenchcoat displaying the swastika on the sleeves, Von Beck takes Indy to Istanbul where he will be tortured by Turkish Mercenaries. Unbeknownst to the German, Jones is freed by Mei-Ying and gets the third piece of the Mirror of Dreams before the Nazis get it.

Frustrated, Von Beck and Marshall Kai kidnap Mei-Ying and take her to Peng Lai island where Von Beck has built a submarine pen and airbase. Jones has followed them and overhears Von Beck and Marshall Kai talk about their plans. Von Beck knew Marshall Kai was going to double-cross him and take the Heart of the Dragon for himself. Kai proposed that he will give the Heart of the Dragon to Von Beck after he takes control of China. After he leaves, Von Beck remains suspicious of Kai's intentions and goes ahead to the Emperor's Tomb in Xian, China.

Von Beck and a team of soldiers enter the tomb and navigate through it's booby traps and arrive at the terra-cotta maze. With a driller tank in tow, Von Beck planned to break through the walls and find the entrance to the Emperor's crypt. After awhile, he's the only one left as his troops either perished or abandoned him. Von Beck later encounters Jones and pursues him with the tank in hopes of gaining revenge for his injuries in Ceylon. Indy manages to elude Von Beck and whipswings over a perilous pit. Von Beck doesn't break in time and with a scream of terror, he drops down into the pit and is gone.
