Aliases

"What aren't you using your real name? What are you hiding?"

―Interrogator in a 1916 Paris police station

• Henri Defense - Created by Indiana Jones when enlisting in the Belgian army, this name served as Indy's official name for his roles in the Belgian military, and later in French and American intelligence, during World War I. It was chosen from "Henry" (his real first name) and "Defense" taken from a sign in the Belgian recruiting office "Defense de fumer" (No smoking).
• Lieutenant Pierre Blanc - An identity appropriated by Indiana Jones after he was captured during the Battle of the Somme. His friend Emile had stolen the uniforms of two dead French soldiers, and Blanc was the man Jones' uniform came from.
• Igor - A name dropped on Jones by Sergei Diaghilev, during Jones's brief cover work as a dancer of the Ballets Russes on its tour of Barcelona, as part of Diaghilev's efforts to ensure that his performers appeared authentically Russian rather than the international mix that they actually were.
