biography.

james was born to parents andrew bond of scotland, and monique delacroix bond of switzerland, both whom were tragically killed during a climbing accident in the french alps when james was eleven years old. he had acquired a first-class command of the french and german languages during his early education, which he received entirely abroad. after the death of his parents, bond went to live with his aunt, miss charmian bond, where he completed his early education. later, he briefly attended eton college at around 12 years old, but was removed after two halves due to "misbehavior". after being sent down from eton, bond was sent to fettes college in scotland, his father's school.

after leaving fettes, bond studied at cambridge university. there, he achieved a first in oriental languages. bond briefly attended the university of geneva, before being taught to ski in kitzbühel. following his graduation, bond joined the ministry of defence and became a lieutenant in the royal naval volunteer reserves, rising through 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.

years later, james bond was assigned to aid the defection of kgb officer, general koskov, covering his escape from a concert hall in bratislava during the orchestra's intermission. during the mission, bond noticed that the kgb sniper assigned to prevent koskov's escape was a female cellist from the orchestra. he noticed her holding a rilfe improperly and immediately realized she was not a sniper. disobeying his orders to kill the sniper, he instead shot the rifle from her hands, then used the trans-siberian pipeline to smuggle koskov across the border into austria and then on to britain.

bond returned to bratislava to track down the cellist, kara milovy. he determined that koskov's entire defection was staged and that kara was actually koskov's girlfriend. bond convinced kara that he was a friend of koskov's and persuaded her to accompany him to vienna, supposedly to be reunited with koskov. during his brief trip with kara in vienna, bond met up with his mi6 ally, saunders, who discovered a history of financial dealings between koskov and arms dealer brad whitaker. as saunders left their meeting, he was killed by assassin necros, who left the message for bond "smiert spionam".

bond and kara promptly left for tangier, where bond confronted general pushkin. pushkin disavowed any knowledge of "smiert spionam", and revealed that koskov is evading arrest for the misusing of state funds. bond and pushkin then joined forces and bond faked pushkin's assassination, inducing whitaker and koskov to progress with their scheme. meanwhile, kara contacted koskov, who told her that bond is actually a kgb agent and convinced her to drug him so he could be captured.

koskov, necros, kara, and the captive bond fly to a soviet air base in afghanistan (part of the soviet war in afghanistan) where koskov betrayed kara and imprisoned her along with bond. the pair escape and in doing so free a condemned prisoner, kamran shah, leader of the local afghan resistance, the mujahideen. bond and kara discovered that koskov was using soviet funds to buy a massive shipment of opium from the mujahideen, intending to keep the profits with enough left over to supply the soviets with their arms.

with the mujahideen's help, bond planted a bomb aboard the cargo plane carrying the opium, but was spotted and had no choice but to barricade himself in the plane. meanwhile, the mujahideen attacked the air base on horseback and engaged the soviets in a gun battle. kara drove a jeep into the back of the plane as bond took off, and necros also lept aboard at the last second. after a struggle, bond threw necros to his death and deactivated the bomb. bond then noticed shah and his men being pursued by soviet forces. he re-activated the bomb and dropped it out of the plane and onto a bridge, blowing it up and helping shah and his men gain an important victory over the soviets. bond then returned to tangier to kill whitaker, as pushkin arrested koskov, sending him back to moscow.

a few years later, DEA agents collect bond and felix leiter, on their way to leiter's wedding, to assist in capturing powerful drug lord franz sanchez. bond and leiter capture sanchez by attaching a hook and cord to sanchez's plane in flight near the bahamas and pulling it out of the air with a coast guard helicopter. afterward, bond and leiter parachute down to the church in time for the ceremony. when bond learns sanchez has escaped, he returns to leiter's house to find his wife della dead and felix alive, but seriously wounded; bond swears to take his revenge on sanchez. as the DEA refuses to help because sanchez is out of their jurisdiction, bond, with felix's friend sharkey, start their own investigation into what happened to felix. the pair discovers a marine research center run by milton krest, one of sanchez's associates.

after bond kills ed killifer by pushing him into the tank with the shark that maimed leiter, m meets bond in key west's hemingway house and orders him to an assignment in istanbul, turkey. bond resigns after turning down the assignment, but m suspends bond instead and immediately revokes his licence to kill. bond flees from mi6 custody and becomes a rogue agent, bereft of official backing but later surreptitiously helped by miss moneypenny and mi6 armourer Q.

bond boards the wavekrest — a ship run by milton krest — and foils sanchez's latest drug shipment, stealing five million dollars in the process, but later discovers that sharkey had been killed by one of krest's divers. bond recruits pam bouvier, an ex-cia agent and pilot whom he rescues from dario, sanchez's main enforcer, at a bimini bar, and journeys with her to the republic of isthmus. in isthmus city, bond is met by q. he finds his way into sanchez's employment by posing as an assassin looking for work. two hong kong narcotics bureau officers foil bond's attempt to assassinate sanchez and take him to an abandoned warehouse. they are joined by fallon, an mi6 agent who was sent by m to apprehend bond either dead or alive. bond is about to be sedated via injection and sent back to the united kingdom in disgrace when sanchez's men rescue bond and kill the officers, believing them to be the assassins.

later, with the aid of bouvier, Q and sanchez's girlfriend, lupe lamora, bond frames krest by placing the five million dollars he had stolen into the hyperbaric chamber on board the wavekrest. an angry sanchez traps krest in the chamber and then rapidly depressurises it, killing him; meanwhile, for bond's perceived loyalty, sanchez admits him into his inner circle.

sanchez takes bond to his base, which is disguised as a meditation retreat. bond learns that sanchez's scientists can dissolve cocaine in petrol and then sell it disguised as fuel to asian drug dealers. during sanchez's presentation to potential asian customers, dario discovers bond and reveals him to sanchez. bond starts a fire in the laboratory and attempts to flee, but is captured again and placed on the conveyor belt that drops the brick-cocaine into a giant shredder. bouvier arrives and distracts dario, allowing bond to pull dario into the shredder, killing him.

sanchez flees as fire consumes his base, taking with him four articulated tankers full of the cocaine and petrol mixture. bond pursues them by plane, with bouvier at the controls. during the course of a stunt-filled chase through the desert, three of the four tankers are destroyed and bond kills many of sanchez's men. sanchez attacks bond with a machete aboard the final remaining tanker, which loses control and crashes down a hillside. soaked in petrol from the leaking tanker, sanchez attempts to kill bond with his machete. bond then reveals his cigarette lighter – the leiters' gift for being the best man at their wedding – and sets fire to sanchez, taking revenge for felix and della. sanchez stumbles into the wrecked tanker, blowing it up and killing himself. bouvier, driving the tractor from one of the destroyed tankers, rescues bond.

later, a party is held at sanchez's former residence. bond speaks to leiter on a telephone informing him of his now stable condition and telling him that he had heard from m, who is offering him his job at mi6 back.
