Satipo is a minor antagonist in the 1981 action-adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first installment of the Indiana Jones franchise.
He is a greedy guide and thief who helped out the American archaeologist Indiana Jones to get the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol at the Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors. By 1936, Satipo works along with his partner in crime Barranca, teaming up with him to swindle and even murder adventurers who hire them at Peru, Colombia and Venezuela, planning to backstab Jones and claim the idol for themselves in spite of the threat of René Belloq and the Hovitos.
He was portrayed by Alfred Molina in his big film debut and first villainous role, who also played Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man: No Way Home, Professor Jeffries in Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!, Maxim Horvath in The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Ke-Pa in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Lasombra in Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie and Mr. Freeze in Harley Quinn.
In the video game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, he was voiced by Joe Hernandez-Kolski.
History[]
In 1936, Satipo and Indiana Jones entered the Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors, in Peru. The aim of the expedition was to look for a golden idol. After a fearful encounter with tarantulas, Satipo followed Jones in swinging across a pit on Indy's bullwhip.
After Jones acquired the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol, he accidentally triggered the temple's booby traps, and ran out of the room with Satipo following him. The greedy Satipo betrayed him, stole the idol and left Jones to die.
The time when Indy threw the idol to him, he started to betray him but gets killed by a spike trap anyways. Jones later finds his corpse and reclaims the idol.

Trivia[]
- In the first draft of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Satipo was originally going to escape from the temple with Indiana Jones and then betray him outside only to be killed up by the Hovitos. It was screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan's idea to kill off Satipo.
- The only time he is referred to by name, Indy incorrectly pronounces Satipo's name as “Sapito”.
