Ariel is a Jewish prisoner in Totenhausen Camp. It is rumored he is a pedophile and the pet of Herr Brandt. Ariel is given special privileges for his assistance to the Nazis and to Brandt. He is often viewed as a weak man who grovels to the Nazis, and as a traitor to the Jewish prisoners. However, it is this view of him that has allowed Ariel to have access to many areas of the camp and also the secrets the Nazis have been keeping. Ariel has been sending these secrets to the British intelligence to assist Brigadier Smith with bringing the camp down.
