Dieter von Rossbach
From Terminator Wiki
Dieter von Rossbach was a former CIA agent who retired from active service to live in Paraguay as a cattle rancher. During a trip into town to recover a package being sent from the United States, Dieter was spotted by the owner of Krieger Trucking: Sarah Connor. In defense of herself Sarah ran from Dieter believing him to be a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Series 800 terminators due to his resemblance to that particular model line (Skynet selected von Rossbach for his physical size and the capabilities of his frame to disguise the endoskeleton of a Terminator).
He developed a friendship with Sarah (who was operating under an alias) and her son John Connor despite a rocky start. He was cemented as one of their allies when a terminator was sent to kill both he and the Connors during a dinner hosted at Sarah's ranch - Sarah herself having had planned to kill Dieter for fear he had discovered who she was. He would later assist the Connors against Skynet agents Serena Burns, Alissa, and Clea Bennet.
Dieter would survive until at least 2029 and presented himself (along with a believed to be dead Sarah Connor) after Kyle Reese was sent back in time to 1984. He was involved in a relationship with Sarah Connor and was a member of the Resistance.
