This is a list of allies ofJames Bond who appear throughout the film series and novels.

Secret Intelligence ServiceM is aRear Admiral of theRoyal Navy, and the head of theSecret Intelligence Service.Ian Fleming based the character on a number of people he knew who commanded sections of British intelligence. M has appeared in the novels by Fleming and seven continuation authors, as well as 24 films. M has been portrayed byBernard Lee,Robert Brown,Judi Dench,Ralph Fiennes,John Huston andEdward Fox.

Secret Intelligence ServiceMiss Moneypenny is the secretary to M. The films depict her as having a reserved romantic interest inJames Bond, although Fleming's novels do not imply such a relationship while theJohn Gardner andRaymond Benson novels emphasise it more. In the film series, Moneypenny has been portrayed byLois Maxwell,Barbara Bouchet,Pamela Salem,Caroline Bliss,Samantha Bond andNaomie Harris.

Secret Intelligence ServiceQ (standing forQuartermaster) is the head of Q Branch (or later Q Division), the fictionalresearch and development division of the British Secret Service. His real name is Major Geoffrey Boothroyd, but Bond and M never use his name. He has appeared in 20 of 23Eon Bond films; all exceptLive and Let Die,Casino Royale andQuantum of Solace. The character was also featured in the non-Eon Bond filmsCasino Royale (1967) andNever Say Never Again. He has been portrayed byDesmond Llewelyn for most of the films, and byPeter Burton,Geoffrey Bayldon,Alec McCowen,John Cleese (first as R inThe World Is Not Enough), andBen Whishaw.

Chief of Staff

William "Bill" Tanner is MI6'sChief of Staff. Tanner is a Bond ally appearing regularly in the novels of Ian Fleming and John Gardner, as well as inKingsley Amis'Colonel Sun, but did not become a regular cinematic character until thePierce Brosnan andDaniel Craig era of films. Among his most prominent cinematic roles was inFor Your Eyes Only (1981), in which Tanner was given a bigger part while M was "on leave", due toBernard Lee's death that prevented him from reprising his role as M in the film. He otherwise has minor roles inThe Man with the Golden Gun (1974), and appears in two of the four Brosnan films. Tanner appears in four of the five Craig films, taking on an increased role as M's chief aide and a friend and ally of Bond.

In 1965, Amis wrote the authorised spin-offThe Book of Bond, or Every Man His Own 007, a tongue-in-cheek guide to being a spy. The book is not credited to Amis, but rather to Lt. Col. William "Bill" Tanner.

• Michael Goodliffe (1974) (uncredited)
• James Villiers (1981)
• Michael Kitchen (1995–1999)
• Rory Kinnear (2008–2021)

Mary Goodnight is Bond's second personal secretary. She first appears in the novelOn Her Majesty's Secret Service, then again inYou Only Live Twice. By the time of her appearance inThe Man with the Golden Gun, she has been assigned to theKingston station of the service, although she has a much larger role. She appears later in theJeffery Deaver novelCarte Blanche. She is shown to have a strong friendship with Miss Moneypenny.

She appears in the filmThe Man with the Golden Gun as aBond girl, played byBritt Ekland.

Loelia Ponsonby is Bond's shared personal secretary in many of the Bond novels. She is also the secretary for 008 and 0011, both of whom share an office with Bond. She retires and is replaced inOn Her Majesty's Secret Service by Mary Goodnight after she marries a member of theBaltic Exchange. For the films, her flirtatious relationship with Bond is transferred to and replaced by Miss Moneypenny. Ponsonby nearly made an appearance inGoldenEye, but she was removed from the final draft. The name of the character may be based on theDuchess of Westminster of the same name.^[1]

Deputy Chief of Staff at MI6Charles Robinson is the Deputy Chief of Staff at MI6. He first appears inTomorrow Never Dies, then later inThe World Is Not Enough, andDie Another Day. Played byColin Salmon, Robinson appears to be M's right-hand man and is often seen at her side. When Bond reports in with MI6, he often does so to Robinson.

One of Q's assistants, Smithers makes two film appearances: inFor Your Eyes Only andOctopussy. He is played byJeremy Bulloch. He is a distinct character from Colonel Smithers (Richard Vernon), aBank of England official whom Bond (Sean Connery) consults in the novelGoldfinger andits film version.

The00 Section of MI6 is considered the elite of the Secret Service. Agents with the 00 prefix have proven themselves capable enough in the field to be entrusted with thelicence to kill: the authorisation to, at their own discretion, commit acts of assassination and other controversial activities in order to complete their missions, without having to first seek permission from headquarters.

The following 00 agents have been referenced onscreen in theJames Bond films. Additional 00 agents, ranging from 001 to 0012, have been referenced in literature and in comic strips.

• 002 – Mentioned inThe Man with the Golden Gun, named Bill Fairbanks and killed byFrancisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee). A different 002 (name not revealed but played by Glyn Baker) appears during the opening sequence ofThe Living Daylights.
• 003 – Body found in a snowbank at the start ofA View to a Kill.
• 004 – Killed during the opening sequence ofThe Living Daylights. Played by Frederick Warder.
• 005 – Seen attending a meeting duringThunderball. Played by Charles Price.
• 006 – NamedAlec Trevelyan (Sean Bean), a one-time ally and friend of Bond who is presumed dead for nine years; he is the primary antagonist inGoldenEye.
• 007 – Can refer to both James Bond and Nomi (Lashana Lynch), MI6 agent holder of the codename inNo Time to Die.
• 008 – Mentioned by M inGoldfinger as a potential replacement for Bond if his mission fails. Bond also mentions this toAuric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) himself. 008 is also mentioned inThe Living Daylights as an alternate choice to assassinate General Leonid Pushkin (John Rhys-Davies) if Bond (Timothy Dalton) refuses to do so.
• 009 – Seen early inOctopussy and played by Andy Bradford, he is killed by Mischka (David Meyer) and Grischka (Anthony Meyer), twins working for General Orlov (Steven Berkoff). However, 009 still manages to complete his mission by returning a forgedFabergé egg and Bond later avenges his death. 009 is also mentioned in the filmThe World Is Not Enough as the agent who initially shoots Renard Zokas (Robert Carlyle). 009 is mentioned again inSpectre as the intended recipient of theAston Martin DB10 after it was reassigned from Bond. Bond steals the car for use in his own mission, leaving 009 without it.

Additional unidentified 00 agents are seen briefly inThunderball andThe World Is Not Enough.

Central Intelligence Agency

• Jack Lord (1962)
• Cec Linder (1964)
• Rik Van Nutter (1965)
• Norman Burton (1971)
• David Hedison (1973 & 1989)
• Bernie Casey (1983)
• John Terry (1987)
• Jeffrey Wright (2006, 2008 & 2021)

A revised version of the character of Felix Leiter appears in the1954 television adaptation ofCasino Royale. In that version, Leiter is a British agent named Clarence Leiter and is played byMichael Pate.

General Anatoly Gogol is the head of theKGB in the filmsThe Spy Who Loved Me,Moonraker,For Your Eyes Only,Octopussy, andA View to a Kill. In his final appearance, inThe Living Daylights, the character has become a post-Glasnost envoy in the Foreign Service and is succeeded as head of the KGB by General Leonid Pushkin. In the end credits of the film, his first name is listed as "Anatol", although inThe Spy Who Loved Me, M referred to him as Alexis.

Gogol is played byWalter Gotell (who also playedSPECTRE henchman Morzeny inFrom Russia with Love). With the KGB, Gogol often allies himself with Bond to stave off the possibility of war with the West, an ideal that is not always shared with his comrades—such as when he argues against Soviet General Orlov's reckless proposal of military conquest inOctopussy, and uncovers Orlov's theft of priceless jewels from the Kremlin.

Only inFor Your Eyes Only andA View to a Kill does Gogol act as an enemy, but even then his actions are more those of a respectful competitor. He particularly opposes the methods of the villainMax Zorin (Christopher Walken) inA View to a Kill. General Gogol has a secretary named Miss Rublevitch, played byEva Rueber-Staier, being some sort of Soviet counterpart to Miss Moneypenny.

Sir Frederick Gray is theMinister of Defence in the filmsThe Spy Who Loved Me,Moonraker,For Your Eyes Only,Octopussy,A View to a Kill, andThe Living Daylights. He is always listed in the closing credits as "Minister of Defence", and is played byGeoffrey Keen.

InThe Spy Who Loved Me, after being briefed on his forthcoming mission to Egypt, Bond holds a private discussion with Gray, to whom he refers as "Freddie". It is never revealed how they know each other well enough for Bond to be so informal. In the next few films, Bond calls Gray "Minister", for most of their scenes include other officials. It is also suggested that he belongs to no particular political party; direct references are made toMargaret Thatcher inFor Your Eyes Only, even though he had also held the post inThe Spy Who Loved Me andMoonraker – which were both made during the government led byJames Callaghan.

Draco is the head of theUnione Corse, a (real-life) major European crime syndicate and a rival of SPECTRE. He appears in the novelOn Her Majesty's Secret Service, working as an ally of Bond. His daughter CountessTeresa "Tracy" Draco di Vicenzo marries Bond but is killed shortly thereafter. He reappears in the novelNever Dream of Dying, where 007's former father-in-law turns out to be linked to the villain of the Union. He also appears in the filmOn Her Majesty's Secret Service, portrayed byGabriele Ferzetti.

A notedneurologist whose expertise is frequently employed by M and the Secret Services, Molony appears in the novelsDr. No,Thunderball,You Only Live Twice, andThe Man with the Golden Gun.

Sheriff John Wayne (J. W.) Pepper is a parish sheriff inLouisiana. He appears in the filmsLive and Let Die andThe Man with the Golden Gun. Played byClifton James, he is mostly used ascomic relief.

InLive and Let Die, he chases Bond (Roger Moore)'s and Dr. Kananga (Yaphet Kotto)'sspeedboats, believing them to be young peoplejoyriding. His first film appearance also reveals a comedic rivalry withLouisiana State Police troopers, who are shown kidding him when his car is destroyed by a fallen speedboat of Kananga's. After a chase that destroys several police cars, the state police tell him that Bond is a spy and Pepper quips, "On whose side??"

InThe Man with the Golden Gun, a vacationing Pepper is shown having a boat tour with his wife inThailand and briefly seeing Bond on another boat. He is later seen trying anAMC Hornet that Bond steals from a showroom, and, convinced he is chasingcommunists, helps Bond in the subsequent car chase withFrancisco Scaramanga'sAMC Matador, only to be arrested by theRoyal Thai Police together with the British operative.

Both of Pepper's appearances, particularly in the latter film, have been criticised by some Bond fans who view him as symptomatic of the overly comic and slapstick nature of some of the Moore-era movies.^[2] Roger Moore said "He gave my first two films a great, fun character", on actor Clifton James's death.^[3]

Quarrel is aCayman Islander living inJamaica. He first appears in the novelLive and Let Die as Bond's guide while 007 is investigating Mr. Big. Quarrel later appears in the novelDr. No to help Bond infiltrate Dr.Julius No's island, Crab Key. The only Bond film in which Quarrel appears is the 1962 filmDr. No, played byJohn Kitzmiller where, as in the novel, he is killed by Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman)'s mythical "dragon", which is actually aflamethrower-equipped vehicle.

As the films were made out of sequence from the novels, for the film adaptation ofLive and Let Die, Quarrel was changed to his son Quarrel Jr., played byRoy Stewart, whom Bond teams up with, helping him destroy Dr. Kananga's poppy fields.

John Strangways is a formerLieutenant Commander in the special branch of theRoyal Naval Volunteer Reserve. He makes his first appearance in the novelLive and Let Die as the chief Secret Service agent in the Caribbean. Strangways is roughly 35 years old and wears a black patch over one eye. He later appears in the novelDr. No, where he and his Number 2, Mary Trueblood (a former Chief Officer in theWomen's Royal Naval Service), are assassinated for prying into Dr. Julius No's business. Mary Trueblood is based on Fleming's secretary fromThe Sunday Times, Una Trueblood.^[4] Strangways makes his only appearance in the films inDr. No, where, as in the novel, he is killed for investigating the title character. Unlike in the novel, however, Strangways does not wear an eyepatch in the film. He is portrayed byTimothy Moxon and voiced byRobert Rietty (who later voiced villainsEmilio Largo inThunderball andErnst Stavro Blofeld inFor Your Eyes Only). Mary is portrayed by Dolores Keator and dubbed byNikki van der Zyl;^[5] both were Jamaican residents and were not in London for the final dubbing of the film.

Japanese Secret Service

Tiger Tanaka is an ally to Bond in the novelYou Only Live Twice and itsfilm adaptation. He is the head of the Japanese Secret Service (Koan-Chosa-Kyoku) and resides within a secret underground office complex beneath the streets ofTokyo, his identity being the most closely guarded secret in Japan. Tanaka helps Bond disguise himself to look Japanese so that Blofeld will not recognise him. Tanaka arranges for Bond to marry a girl native to the land,Kissy Suzuki (Mie Hama), in order to provide extra cover. In the film, Tanaka is portrayed byTetsurō Tamba. He supplies an army ofninjas to attack Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Donald Pleasence) and leads the attack on Blofeld's volcano base.^[6] Tanaka also appears in the novelThe Man with the Red Tattoo and in theDynamite Entertainment-published spin-off comic book,Felix Leiter.

In the novel, the character was based on one of Fleming's friends, Torao Saito – although he was not connected to Japanese intelligence, but was in fact a well-knownpolymath in Japan, being a journalist, writer, photographer and architect.^[7]

Central Intelligence AgencyJack Wade is an AmericanCIA agent who appears in the filmsGoldenEye andTomorrow Never Dies. He is played byJoe Don Baker. Eight years beforeGoldenEye, Baker played villainBrad Whitaker inThe Living Daylights.

KGBValentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky (Russian: Вaлeнтин Дмитриeвич Жуковский) is a former KGB agent turnedRussian mafia head who runs a bar, a casino, and a caviar factory. When he was younger (and a KGB agent), a conflict with Bond ended with Bond shooting Zukovsky in the leg, causing him to walk with a limp. However, after leaving the KGB, Zukovsky does not hold a grudge towards Bond, especially when dealing with Bond means turning a profit. Played byRobbie Coltrane, Zukovsky makes two appearances in the films, his first being inGoldenEye before being shot and mortally wounded byElektra King (Sophie Marceau) inThe World Is Not Enough. He lives long enough after being shot to execute a trick shot using hiscane gun, enabling Bond to escape King's trap.

Dr. Madeleine Swann is a psychiatrist and daughter ofMr. White (Jesper Christensen), who assists Bond in his mission and becomes his love interest in the filmSpectre and continues to be a central character in the subsequent filmNo Time to Die.

This section lists allies who each appear in only one film.
