Big Chief Keen-eyed Mole

Big Chief Keen-eyed Mole is a Native American Chief of the Black Feet Tribe, who was fooled into believing that Tintin was an enemy of him and his people by Bobby Smiles.

History[]

Big Chief Keen-eyed Mole's original design as Mole With A Piercing Look as seen in the book series.

Tricked by the gangster Bobby Smiles, he believed Tintin was coming to deprive the Indians of their hunting grounds; so he attacked him at the head of all his warriors and captured him.

Tintin didn't understand why he was captured, and Chief Keen-eyed Mole made himself clear that he must die. Tintin, determined to escape, flicked resin on him, making him believe that a girl threw a catapult on him. Angered, he slapped the girl on the face, and Browsing Bison, agreed, but another resin seemed to have flicked on Keen-eyed Mole again, and punched him in the face, blaming him for doing that. His brother, Bull's Eye, stood up against Keen-eye Mole, punching him the face, too.

As a result from the scuffle, Tintin was able to escape.

Smiles then told Big Chief Keen-eyed Mole about Tintin's survival, that he came out of the ground, and chased after him.

Believing that he finished Tintin off for good, he pulled, Lame Duck who was found dead, and mistaken him by killing Lame Duck, and not Tintin instead. Big Chief Keen-eyed Mole then told Smiles about the idea of starving Tintin out, by putting a huge rock onto a hole, which Tintin cannot escape, which Tintin somehow did.

Then the governors found the oil well, and forced him and his Black Feet Tribe out the land, for oil profits.
