Maya (spy)

Maya was an Arab double-agent whose true allegiance was to the Turks, though she managed to convince the Allies that she was loyal to them.

In 1917 Maya was chosen to be Indiana Jones' companion on a mission to Bersheeba, in which their task was to ensure that the city's wells remained intact for the attacking Australian and British soldiers to use. Maya took the appearance of a Beduin woman, and as such she wasn't allowed to show her face to Jones.

When the pair finally arrived at Bersheeba, Maya acted as an Arab belly-dancer to avoid suspicion from Ismet Bey and Schiller. In reality, Maya had been a double-agent all along, and her true allegiance was to the Turks and Ismet Bey. When Jones tried to warn the Allies of the vast number of German troops waiting nearby at Gaza, Maya shot the letter-dove.

When the Australian and British horsemen attacked the city, a large battle broke out, which resulted in Maya getting shot in the shoulder. Her later fate is unknown.
