Indiana Jones, often shortened to Indy, is a fictional archaeologist and adventurer, the central character in the Indiana Jones franchise created by George Lucas. A professor of archaeology by day, Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones Jr. spends his time off globe-trotting in search of rare artifacts and ancient treasures, often facing perilous traps, formidable enemies (particularly Nazis), and supernatural forces along the way. He is recognizable by his signature fedora, bullwhip, and leather jacket, and known for his wit, resourcefulness, and aversion to snakes. Indy's quests are driven by a desire to preserve history and prevent powerful artifacts from falling into the wrong hands.
