Description
In the film, he is protraide as a highly intelligent and cold-blooded SS officer ordered to hunt down any European Jew hiding out in France.

He has a sarcastic sense of humor and is often shown to distract his preys by luering them into long talks and asking them trap questions.

He eventually made an agreement with the American Aldo Raine (the leader of the Nazi killing platoon called basterds) Landa makes a deal with Raine's commanding officer to be granted a full military pension and American citizenship, in exchange for allowing Raine's men to kill the Nazi high command that was lured into a trap during a film premiere inside a cinema. Landa then took Raine out in the wood and set him free telling him to in turn arrest him and take him to the American Headquaters, Raine accepted but first shot the soldier that accompanied Landa and then marked Landa by carving a Swastika into his forhead with a knife in order to remind everyone who Hans Landa really was, Aldo having carved Swatikas in the forheads of every Nazi he ever set free remarked "This just might be my masterpiece.".
