Shared background Although very little of James Bond's past is directly addressed in Pierce Brosnan's films, it is assumed that his Bond continues to share the common background laid out by Ian Fleming novels and preceding Bond films.

In the novels, James Bond is the son of a Scottish father, Andrew Bond of Glencoe, and a Swiss mother, Monique Delacroix, from the Canton de Vaud. He acquired a first-class command of the French and German languages during his early education, which he received entirely abroad. Both parents were tragically killed during a climbing accident in the French Alps which was revealed in GoldenEye.

"We're both orphans, James. But where your parents had the luxury of dying in a climbing accident, mine survived the British betrayal and Stalin's execution squads." ― Alec Trevelyan[src] After the death of his parents, Bond goes to live with his aunt, Miss Charmian Bond, where he completes his early education. Later, he briefly attends Eton College at "12 or thereabouts", but is removed after two halves because of girl trouble with a maid. After being expelled from Eton, Bond was sent to Fettes College in Scotland, his father's school.[6]

After leaving Fettes, earlier EON films note that Bond studied at Cambridge University. [7] [8] There, he achieved a first in Oriental languages. [9] In Fleming's novels, Bond alluded to briefly attending the University of Geneva (as did Fleming), before being taught to ski in Kitzbühel. [10]Following his graduation, Bond joined the Ministry of Defence and became a lieutenant in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserves, rising though the ranks to commander. Bond applied to M for a position within the "Secret Service", part of the Civil Service, and rose to the rank of principal officer.

GoldenEye "I think you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur, a relic of the Cold War." ― M to James Bond.[src] AlecJamesJob Bond and Trevelyan in the facility.

In 1986, Bond is paired with his close friend Alec Trevelyan, agent 006, and the two are tasked with destroying the Arkhangelsk chemical weapons facility. In the course of the mission, the two plant explosive charges into the main chamber of the facility but are surrounded by Soviet Colonel Arkady Ourumov and his men and Trevelyan is supposedly taken prisoner at gunpoint. Under the pretence of allowing Bond to surrender, Ourumov gives him ten seconds to come out. On reaching one, Alec is shot in the head. 007 manages to escape and succeeds in destroying the facility by setting limpet mines with a three minute fuse.

Nine years later, Bond gets into a car chase with a young woman in Monte Carlo. He later meets her at a casino, his suspicions raised by her taste for expensive vehicles (with fake number plates) and her suspicious relationship with Canadian Navy admiral, Chuck Farrel. Suspecting her, he places her under surveillance, and runs a background check of her via MI6, learning that she is an operative of criminal organisation Janus. 007 later witnesses the theft of a prototype Eurocopter Tiger helicopter that can withstand an electromagnetic pulse by Onatopp and an unidentified accomplice, presumably Ourumov. Janus then uses the helicopter to steal the control disk for the dual GoldenEye satellite weapons, using the GoldenEye to destroy the complex with an electromagnetic pulse; there is one survivor of the attack, a programmer, Natalya Simonova.

M sends Bond to investigate the theft of the GoldenEye and the British spy travels to St. Petersburg, Russia in search of the culprits. To find Janus, Bond meets mafia head and ex-KGB officer Valentin Zukovsky. Although not aware of Janus' identity, Zukovsky reveals to 007 that Janus is a Cossack of Lienz. Through his criminal ties, the gangster arranges a meeting for Bond at the Grand Hotel Europe in St. Petersburg. Janus sends Onatopp to dispose of the spy but Bond manages to overpower the sadomasochist assassin and forces her to bring him to Janus at a memorial park. As Bond walks through the relics of the collapsed Soviet Union, he is approached by Janus, who reveals himself to be Alec Trevelyan. The latter explains his motivations and casually mentions that he initially wanted to ask for Bond to join him, but deep down he knew that the British agent would be loyal to his country and not to his friend. Furious and disappointed, Bond attempts to shoot Alec; but is tranquilized before he can pull the trigger. 007 and Natalya Simonova are bound and placed in a stolen helicopter rigged to destroy itself. Bond is able to eject both of them out of the helicopter before it explodes.

Bond and Simonova are soon taken into custody by Russian soldiers. After attempting to frame Bond for the murder of the Russian Defense Minister Dmitri Mishkin, Ourumov kidnaps Simonova and attempts to rendezvous at Trevelyan's armored train. Although pursued by 007 in a T-55 tank, Ourumov brings her aboard and the train departs. After derailing the train, Bond holds Trevelyan at gunpoint and the criminal mastermind has Ourumov bring Simonova to the cabin as a bargaining chip. Bond tries to drive a wedge between Alec and Ourumov by revealing his associate's Cossack heritage. Ourumov's hesitation allows Bond to gain the upper hand; he shoots the General to his death, while Trevelyan and Onatopp flee from the carriage and lock all doors. As the villains escape by helicopter, they set the carriage to self-destruct with an ironic three-minute fuse.

Before escaping the train, Bond and Simonova track Trevelyan to a hidden satellite control center in the jungles of Cuba. While searching for GoldenEye's satellite dish, the pair are shot down and crash land in the Cuban jungle. Onatopp rappels down from a helicopter to search for survivors and attacks Bond, who manages to kill the henchwoman by crushing her to death with a tree. Infiltrating the control facility, Bond and Simonova separate; with Bond attempting to plant explosives while Simonova hacks the GoldenEye's guidance systems. Shortly after completing their objectives they are captured and brought to Trevelyan, who reveals his plan to steal money from the Bank of England before erasing all of its financial records with the GoldenEye, concealing the theft and destroying Britain's economy. After detonating an Explosive Pen, destroying part of the control room, Bond and Simonova escape. Bond then destroys the satellite control dish and kills Trevelyan after a long battle.

Tomorrow Never Dies "You forgot the first rule of mass media, Elliot! Give the people what they want!" ― James Bond to Elliot Carver[src] Several years later[11], Bond remotely broadcasts footage of a terrorist arms bazaar somewhere on the Russian border. When the impatient Admiral Roebuck orders a cruise missile strike on the position, 007 reveals that one of the terrorist aircraft is equipped with a Soviet SB-5 nuclear torpedo and is forced to steal the plane - along with its deadly cargo - and narrowly escapes.

M later sends Bond on a mission to investigate the sinking of a British warship in the South China Sea, the mysterious theft of one of the ship's cruise missiles and the subsequent shooting down of a Chinese fighter plane. The spy is sent in Hamburg in order to "pump information" from his old flame, Paris Carver, now married to suspicious media mogul, Elliot Carver. Posing as a banker, Bond meets Carver and his associates during a party celebrating the launch of a new CMGN satellite at Carver's Hamburg media center. However, sensing that the agent means trouble, Carver uses a pretext to leave him and tells his right-hand man, Stamper, to take care of him. Many henchmen are sent to brutally beat 007, but are soon outwitted by him, and the spy later interrupts Carver's speech by switching off the electricity. After made love with Paris, Bond infiltrates Carver's printing company while Paris is killed by Dr. Kaufman, Carver's personal assassin. Holding Bond at gunpoint when he returns to his hotel, Kaufman reveals that he was assigned to make the deaths look like a murder-suicide; Bond killing Paris and then himself but 007 is able to turn the tables on Kaufman and kill him before escaping Carver's henchmen with a GPS encoder obtained by terrorist Henry Gupta at the terrorist arms bazaar.

Tomorrow-Never-Dies-0997 Bond and Wai Lin in Vietnam.

Bond encounters his Chinese counterpart Wai Lin in Vietnam, who is also investigating the matter. The two believe they have been ordered to kill each other, but they are both captured by Carver's henchmen led by Stamper and taken to Carver at a CMGN tower in Saigon where they meet the media mogul's Chinese associate, General Chang. Carver prepares to have Bond and Wai Lin tortured by Stamper but they manage to escape and subsequently agree to collaborate on the investigation. With the British fleet on their way to China, the pair find Carver's stealth ship in Ha Long Bay and board it to arrest Carver and his cohorts. They discover that the villain had used the GPS encoder to push the British ship off course and into Chinese waters in order to incite a war for ratings and acquire full broadcasting rights in China and that Chang would be placed in the top seat within the Chinese government, while Carver would capitalize upon the coverage of the ensuing conflict. 007 breaches the vessel's hull with an improvised explosive device, exposing it to radar of another British warship, who opens fire on the fleeing craft with its 4.5 inch naval gun. After killing Carver by shredded him with Sea-Vac Drill, Bond fights Stamper and completely destroys the stealth ship by sabotaging the stole cruise missile that Carver wanted to fire at Beijing to destroy the current Chinese government, averting war between Britain and China.

The World Is Not Enough "I usually hate killing an unarmed man, cold blooded murder is a filthy business... but in your case, I feel nothing. Just like you." ― A furious Bond prepares to execute Renard.[src] In November 1999[12], M sends Bond in Bilbao, Spain, to recover money for Sir Robert King, a British oil tycoon and old friend of M, but the money is booby-trapped and kills King shortly afterwards. 007 pursues the assassin in a prototype Q-boat along the Thames but the terrorist commits suicide. Bond later traces the money to Renard, an ex KGB agent-turned-anarchist, who had previously kidnapped King's daughter Elektra. MI6 believes that Renard is targeting Elektra King a second time and Bond is assigned to protect her: although Elektra does not think she is in danger, the pair are subsequently attacked in Azerbaijan.

The World Is Not Enough - Elektra meets with Bond and Zukovsky in his casino Bond meets with Elektra and Zukovsky at the casino.

Bond visits Valentin Zukovsky at the businessman's casino and is informed that Elektra's head of security, Sasha Davidov, is in league with Renard: the British spy kills Davidov and follows the trail to a Russian ICBM base in Kazakhstan. Posing as a Russian nuclear scientist, Bond meets American nuclear physicist Christmas Jones. The two witness Renard stealing the GPS locator card and a half quantity of weapons-grade plutonium from a bomb and set off an explosion, from which Bond and Jones escape. Elektra kidnaps M after she thinks Bond had been killed and 007 establishes that Elektra intends to create a nuclear explosion in a submarine in Istanbul in order to increase the value of her own oil pipeline. Bond and Jones are later captured by Elektra's henchmen and are escorted to their base of operations in the Maiden's Tower at the southern entrance of the Bosphorus strait. While Jones is taken aboard the submarine, Elektra tortures Bond in an Antique Torture Chair but Zukovsky leads an assault on the tower, allowing Bond to free himself before being killed by Elektra, having used his Walking Stick Rifle to free Bond from the chair. After freeing M, 007 coldly kills Elektra for her refusal to call off her plot. He then sneaks into the submarine, frees Jones before finally finishing off Renard by impaling him with a Plutonium Rod.

TWiNE - Bond and Christmas celebrate the New Year Bond and Jones celebrate the New Year.

Bond and Jones are subsequently shown celebrating Christmas in Turkey, culminating in a romantic liaison that is unintentionally spied on by MI6 using a new body sensor designed by R, who soon turns it off, lying to M by saying it is an error likely caused by a premature form of the "Millennium Bug" said to occur in 2000.

Die Another Day Miranda Frost: "This is crazy. You're a double O." James Bond: "It's only a number..." ―James Bond and Miranda Frost[src] Bond investigates North Korean Colonel Tan-Sun Moon, who is illegally trading African conflict diamonds for weaponry. Moon is apparently killed but Bond is betrayed by an MI6 mole and is captured by the North Korean army and tortured for 14 months. Circa March 2002,[13][14] he is exchanged for Zao, Moon's right-hand man. Despite being suspended on his return (M believes he had cracked under torture and was haemorrhaging information), Bond decides to complete his mission and tracks Zao to a gene therapy clinic in Cuba, where patients can have their appearances altered through DNA restructuring. He also crosses paths with NSA agent Jinx, on her own hunt for the arms dealer. Zao escapes, but Bond acquires a diamond leading back to British billionaire Gustav Graves.

In Iceland, Graves unveils a mirror satellite, "Icarus", which is able to focus solar energy on a small area and provide year-round sunshine for crop development. Bond discovers Moon has also undergone the gene therapy and has assumed the identity of Graves and identifies MI6 mole as Miranda Frost, an agent assigned by M to investigate Graves. With help from Jinx, Bond then exposes Moon's plan: to use the Icarus to cut a path through the Korean Demilitarized Zone with a concentrated solar-powered laser, allowing North Korean troops to invade South Korea unopposed and reunite the peninsula under communism. Bond disables the Icarus controls, kills Moon and stops the invasion while Frost is killed by Jinx.

The stereotype of a MI6 00 agent and a former Royal Navy intelligence officer and commander, Bond is a highly unique individual. He appears to be of sound mind and strong spirit, but can sometimes demonstrate a detached and even cruel streak. He is highly intelligent, exceedingly cunning and diabolically independent. He is also extremely sensible, calm, mature and sly. Like most who lose parents in their youth, Bond has abandonment issues, which is why he never makes friends or long-lasting relationships, his only relationship being with Vesper. In some versions professes to have never fallen in love, although whether this is true regarding Tracy, Vesper and Madelaine is unclear. He maintains no friendships from before his parents’ death and only the most irregular contact with friends from his late teens.

At first, Bond was arrogant and conceited, almost overconfident that he would be able to win each situation he got himself into.

Bond is not nostalgic, but lives firmly in the present. He has only vague notions or thoughts about old age and retirement, which he does not seem to think he will live to see. He enjoys pushing himself to the limit, both mentally and physically. Bond's stress levels actually drop when the stakes are higher. He is prone to boredom and mild depression when not challenged. He is not sentimental, not missing his childhood home in Scotland, actually saying that he "always hated this place", and showing no remorse in blowing up the house.

Bond has strong interpersonal skills. He can act comfortably in many situations, but does not seek out companionship except, most notably, for sexual recreation. Bond's lone wolf personality-type tends to attract others. He is highly manipulative, calculating and possesses a high level of intelligence. He sometimes has a hot temper.

Bond is goal-oriented, but he often seeks these goals in an indirect and secretive way. He has kept many areas of his life meticulously compartmentalized, never allowing the emotional issues from the loss of his family or from relationships to intrude on his professional life. Bond seems to have an emotional and mental need for multiple layers of reality. He thrives when not revealing all of himself, carefully organizing the aspects of his personality he reveals to others. Thus Bond is excellent as burying information he does not wish to reveal, making him a very good security risk if questioned under almost any circumstance.

Bond seeks structure in his life. He is a man of pattern and habit. He has acquired strong tastes. Bond both thrives under structure yet finds subtle ways of rebelling against it. He is not self-destructive, but he can be a challenge to his superiors, who mostly despise his unorthodox skills of completing a job and his personality.

Bond uses humor as a shield and a weapon. He is skilled at making cutting remarks that reveal insecurities of others or mock death, danger and risk so he can intimidate people who are a threat to him.

Most importantly, Bond is deeply loyal to institutions. After his parents' death, Bond embraced his British and Scottish roots. His concept of his nationality is a large part of his identity. This is reflected in some of his social attitudes, which seem to embrace a British identity of the not to distant past. When pressed, Bond seems to identify with the notion of helping to "protect the realm", or "serving the monarch" and the ideals embodied in the mythic notion of St. Georges.

Bond is very idealistic, but is solitary. He does not console himself by surrounding himself with others nor he discusses his problems or personality with other people. His athletic pursuits tend to be solitary: running, skiing, hiking, swimming, diving, and most remarkably, climbing, which are his way of seeking solace and comfort after .

Even though Bond clearly doesn't see the world in black and white terms, he doesn't tend to see it in stark terms of chaos and order, tradition and change. Bond has chosen to identify with order and tradition. Because of his complete self-sufficiency and independence, Bond became an incredible tactician when it comes to pursuits and assassinations. He is also vengeful.

In a research survey where participants were asked to rate what adjectives best described James Bond, the top 10 were sexual, pro, charming, never crying, flirtatious, bold, resourceful, charismatic, adventurous and motivated.

Bond has had many liaisons with members of the opposite sex, but rarely makes long-lasting relationships with men or women.

Bond excels in solitary sport, such as martial arts, shooting as well as climbing, diving, and swimming; he is also an excellent runner. Bond does not race cars in a sporting setting, but he does enjoy driving very expensive vehicles very fast. Bond has gambled at many European casinos, although never to ruin. He has been known to gamble more than he can afford to lose, although he always gambles with a plan and a clear understanding of the odds. Bond drinks, but not to excess. His drinking seems to be a way for him to test his personal limits at times rather than a vice.
