...Haider praised Hitler's employment policies, he told former SS officers they were decent men of character, and he owns an entire valley that belonged to Jews until shortly before World War II.

...honest one of the bunch. All he really wants to do is spend the holidays at home with his family--of course, his plans go awry when he and Ashley fall into the hands of Gabriel. His ability to counter-manipulate the manipulations of his captors illustrates a decent intelligence and his resourcefulness allows him to stay alive.
