	Movies - Colonel Jorgen

Colonel Jorgen is a character from The Adventures of Tintin series of classic comic books drawn and written by Hergé. He is one of Tintin's foremost enemies, first encountered in King Ottokar's Sceptre.

The Colonel was formerly known as Colonel Boris and also aide-de-camp to King Muskar XII of Syldavia, whom (in Tintin's own words), he shamefully betrayed, taking part in a conspiracy to steal the Ottokar Sceptre and force the king to abdicate his throne. What happened to him immediately after he was exposed is unclear, but he eventually returns as an agent for an unnamed foreign power in Destination Moon, determined to get his revenge on Tintin. With the assistance of Frank Wolff, he is smuggled on board the Syldavian space program's Moon Rocket. On the moon, Jorgen attempted to launch the rocket, leaving Calculus, the Thom(p)sons and Captain Haddock marooned on the Moon, but was prevented from doing so by Tintin. He was bound and taken down to the rocket's hold, but he nevertheless managed to escape due to the stupidity of the Thompsons (who tried to replace the rope that bound the prisoners with handcuffs). Once again, he attempted to take over the rocket, but after a struggle with Frank Wolff, he was shot through the heart when his gun accidentally discharged, and his dead body was released into space.

Jorgen has the rather bleak distinction of being the only person in the Tintin stories to be killed on stage, in the presence of Tintin and his friends.
