A Chief Henchman was in the employ of Chinese crime lord Lao Che when meeting with American archaeologist Indiana Jones in 1935.
Biography[]
When the meeting of his boss Lao Che at Club Obi Wan went sour, the Chief Henchman threw knives at American archaeologist Indiana Jones but missed, in turn receiving a blow to the face when the American threw a cymbal at him. When Jones and entertainer Willie Scott tried to flee, he provided Che's son Kao Kan with a machine gun. Despite this, Jones and Scott managed to escape to a waiting vehicle through a window, so the henchman accompanied Lao Che and Kao Kan in pursuing them in their own car, firing his machine gun at Jones's vehicle. He was unsuccessful in stopping it, however, and Jones shot him in the head.[1]
