Skorgas

Die Skorgas leben im Exil meistens im Norden des Exils. Dabei haben Sie eine Schulterhöhe von knapp 2m, mit ihren drei Stacheln bis zu 4m. Ihr Körper ähnelt von der Oberfläche eher einem Steinwesen, da die Körperoberfläche vollständig kalt ist und sehr massiv. Auch die Zwischenräume der einzelnen Körperteile bestehen aus einer Art Energie, die eine ähnliche Strukur wie Mana aufweist. Nachforschungen konnten auch Parallelen ziehen zu einer Astralform, wie es dem Ältesten des Elfen möglich ist.

Obwohl die Skorgas enorm große und starke Kreaturen sind und äußerst aggressiv sind, jagen Sie nicht um Nahrung zu erhalten. Soweit man es identifizieren konnte "ernähren" Sie sich direkt von thermische und elektrische Energie. Sollte die Skorgas ein Lebewesen erlegen, so sind die Lebewesen komplett kalt sobald diese Tod sind. Dabei scheint es als würden Sie die Restwärme aus dem Körper entziehen. Nach jeder Absorption kann man sehen wie die Energie sich im Körper des Skorgas verstärkt, durch ein leicht verstärtes Leuchten. Auf Grund dieser Beobachtungen vermutete man zunächst dass die Wesen künstlich erschaffene Lebewesen wie eine Maschine sind, ähnlich wie ein Golem, bei welcher eine Seele an einen leblosen Körper gebunden wird. Allerdings sind die Kreaturen ebenfalls im Stande sich fortzupflanzen und ebenso an Alterschwäche zu sterben. Dabei paaren sich zwei Skorgas in Form dass diese ihre beiden Energie fusionieren um eine neue Quelle erschafft. Allerdings können Skorgas nur einmal pro Partner machen. Dabei legen diese Wesen auch keinen weiteren Wert auf die Erziehung, sondern ziehen, nach 48h der Schöpfung des neuen Lebens, weiter. Die Skorgas sind Wesen die ständig umherwandern und dabei alleine bleiben.

Im Kampf gegen einen Skogas haben im Besonderem Feuer- und Luftmagier einen enormen Nachteil, da die Skorgas sämtliche dieser magischen Angriffe absorbieren kann um sich selbst zu stärken. Allerdings sind die Skorgas auch in der Lage sich gegen andere Magie sich zu wehren, mithilfe eines Energieausstoßes. Die Angriffe sind bei weitem des Bedrohlichere als die defensiven Fähigkeiten. Die Skorgas können ihren körperlichen Fähigkeiten um ein vielfaches erhöhen, indem Sie ihre Energie freilassen, die in Ihnen gespart ist. Die Angriffe sind verherrend den ihre Angriffe ähneln die eines Wargen, wobei Sie dabei nicht allzu schnell sind. Allerdings scheint es als würde die Verstärkung ihrer körperlichen Leistung Sie ebenfalls ihre Lebenskraft kosten, wodurch Sie diesen Zustand nur sehr kurz aufrecht halten können. Zudem ist es ihnen Möglich einen Strahl aus reiner Energie abzufeuern, welcher ähnlich stark ist wie ein Angriff mit Arkaner Magie wie es z.B. bei Kombinationszaubern der Fall ist.
Simartu

Der Simartu ist ein riesiger neunschwänziger Fuchs mit seidig gläzendem weißen Fell und dunklen Runenmalen am ganzen Körper. Mit einer Schulterhöhe von 2,0m und einer Gesamtlänge von 2,5m ist er nicht zu übersehen. Zu seiner imposanten Gestalt tragen auch zwei riesige Hörner auf seinem Haupt. Diese Hörner wachsen nicht offensiv nach vorne sondern defensiv nach hinten. Er wurde schon des öfteren gesehen und gilt auch nicht als schreckhaft oder scheu. Aufgrund der starken Manapräsenz geht man davon aus, dass dieses Wesen eigenmächtig Magie benutzen kann. Allen Berichten zu folge erstarren alle Lebewesen die ihn erblicken vollständig und sind erst wieder bewegungsfähig, nachdem er verschwunden ist. Man weiß nie wo er herkommt oder wohin er geht, da er einfach aus dem Nichts auftaucht und wie aus dem Nichts wieder verschwindet. Bis auf diese Tatsache ist nichts über dieses außergewöhnliche Wesen bekannt.

Die Runen auf seinem Körper konnten nicht identifiziert oder entschlüsselt werden.
Antarus

Antarus oder auch "vollkommenes Licht" wie diese Wesen im Volksmund genannt wird, ist ein weißes Pferd mit Schwingen. Diese Schwingen erstrahlen in den schönsten und strahlensten Farben die existieren. Diese Farben scheinen zu pulsieren und verändern ständig ihre ursprünglichen Farben. Die Flügel dieses beeindruckenden Tieres erreichen eine Spannweite von 10m. Das Pferd selbst erreicht eine Schulterhöhe von 1,80m. Sein weiß glänzendes Fell ist mit einzelnen Mustern gesprenkelt. Antarus ist komplett gesattelt und wird durch eine goldene Rüstung geschützt. Dies erscheint ziemlich ungewöhnlich da man dieses Wesen noch nie mit einem Reiter gesehen wurde.

Anatrus ist bisher nur sehr selten gesehen worden. Wenn er gesehen wird, gilt er als Bote einer Veränderung der Welt wie sie existiert. Er steht als Bote für Zeiten den Kriegs und des Friedens. Es ist bekannt das Anatrus kurz vor Ausbruch der drei großen Kriegen gesehen wurde. Dabei flog Anatrus jedesmal über Vagorn hinweg und lies ein buntes Farbenspiel am Himmel zurück. Doch ereignete sich das Anatrus in Sulkar im Göttersaal landete und dort ein Muster mit einem einzigen Flügelschlag hinterlies. Anschließend verschwand er. Das Muster wurde untersucht. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Art Mana das sich so verändert um das Licht zu brechen, damit eine bestimmte Farbe wahrgenommen werden. Es gibt zahllose Thorien die vermuten lassen was dies zu bedeuten hat, allerdings sind sich selbst die drei Erzmagier diesbezüglich uneinig.

Bei den Künstlern ist Anatrus ein sehr beliebtes Motiv, da sie durch das Farbenspiel der Schnwingen glauben ihre Fährigkeiten verbessern zu können. Ein Künstler der einmal Antarus Schwingen zu Gesicht bekommen hat soll viel lebendigere Bilder malen, viel genauere Skizzen anfertigen und noch detailreicher Skulpturen herstellen können. Deshalb ist auch für einen Künstler eine Ehre die Musterung in Sulkar sehen zu dürfen.
Jack Spang

**Jack Spang** is a jewel expert and brother of Las Vegas casino tycoon Seraffimo Spang. Together the two run a crime organization called the Spangled Mob, and are involved in diamond smuggling.

## History

Twin brothers Jack and Seraffimo Spang are the controllers of the Spangled Mob; a crime syndicate which operates widely in the United States. Together with Seraffimo, Jack establishes a diamond smuggling 'pipeline' reaching from Africa to North America via Europe.

Under the pseudonym "Rufus B. Saye," Jack operates the London branch of the House of Diamonds, a gem importer/exporter purchased by the brothers in the early 1950's. Casual questioning by James Bond, however, reveals that "Saye" knows little of the actual stones. Spang also oversees the smuggling operations of the Spangled Mob at the middle of the pipeline, giving instructions to smugglers such as Tiffany Case and the Spangled Mob's chief enforcers, Mr. Wint & Mr. Kidd, under the identity of "ABC".

After Seraffimo Spang had been killed by Bond in Nevada and the Spangled Mob's operations in America had been destroyed, Jack left London for Sierra Leone to close whatever traces of the pipeline he could. Bond had been closing the smuggling ring, eliminating everyone involved. When he arrives at the beginning arm of the smuggling ring Bond encounters Jack there. He tries to escape by air, however Bond stops him by shooting down his helicopter, ending the smuggling ring once and for all.

## Behind the scenes

Jeremy Black criticised the characters of the Spang brothers as being unexciting villains compared to many of Fleming's other creations. Black called him "little more than an effective hood" and notes the lack of megalomania or other interesting personality quirks. *The Rough Guide to James Bond* has similar criticisms, complaining about Spang's infrequent appearances and his mundane motivation of getting rich.

Wächterschatten

Der Wächterschatten gilt als Dämon der Überwachung und Sklaverei. Mit seinen Fähigkeiten ist er in der Lage Wesen einen absoluten Befehl zu geben der stärker ist als die Überlebensinstinkte des Wesens. Außerdem ist er in der Lage die Perspektive von anderen Wesen zu erleben.

Der Wächterschatten ist Ocughal sehr ähnlich und sieht sich selbst als rechte Hand von eben diesem. Deshalb muss er nach der Beschwörung mit großem Respekt begegnet werden, da ansonsten den Beschwörer einfach tötet.

Der Wächterschatten wird nur sehr selten beschworen. Wenn überhaupt zum Nachspionieren oder Kontrollverlüstängsten bei z.B. Personen in Führungspositionen die ihr Amt abtreten müssen.

Heilige Schlächter

Die heiligen Schlächter ist der Dämon des Genozids und des Betrugs. Die heiligen Schlächter hat die Fähigkeit der unendlichen Replizierung. Dabei kann es selbstständig eine Armee aufstellen, die zwar im einzelnen nicht die Kraft haben sich mit starken Gegnern zu messen aber durch die Menge überrennen Sie selbst die härtesten Gegner. Die zweite Fähigkeit ist die Gefallene Klinge. Sie haben die Kraft des Lichts in ihren Waffen, was ihnen erlaubt andere Schattenwesen zu bezwingen und das Reich der Götter zu hintergehen.

Die heiligen Schlächter sind nur bei großen Mengen Mana wirklich nützlich daher wird sie selten benutzt. Die Duplizierugnsfähigkeit ist abhänig von dem Mana. Es gibt Gerüchte dass Menschen vorgeschlagen hatten im zweiten großen Krieg gegen die unoten Armee der Orcs diese Dämon zu rufen.

Selten wird gerufen um Verstärkung für Kriege zu erhalten.

007 in New York

**"007 in New York"** is a short story written by Ian Fleming featuring his fictional secret agent James Bond. It wasn't until 2002 that "007 in New York" had been published in a Bond book. It was added to the end of the collection *Octopussy and The Living Daylights* by Penguin Books.

## Plot

James Bond, traveling as David Barlow, is going through customs and immigration at New York's Idlewild airport. He has flown in on BAOC's Monarch flight from London and estimates that the FBI or the CIA will not detect him in the twenty-four hours he will be spending in New York. His mission is to warn a young woman, who used to be a first class staff officer for the Secret Service, that the American authorities are getting close to finding out that she is cohabiting with a KGB agent.

The agent is attached to the UN and M sent Bond to tell her that the CIA is close to identifying her. Of course it would be very embarrassing if the CIA were to find out about Bond and his mission. Bond's rendezvous with the woman is scheduled for three o'clock outside the Reptile House at the Central Park Zoo.

Bond knows that it's just a meeting at the Zoo's Reptile House and then he's free to enjoy the glorious city of New York for a day, and the substance of the story is Bond planning out his day, savoring all the little details of what he's going to eat and where, what he'll do, and his girl in town, Solange, whom he'll pick up for the evening.

At the end of the story, a simple paragraph postscript reveals that the Central Park Zoo doesn't have a Reptile House. They assumed New York has everything, but not that. So there was a panic to get work back to the girl, reschedule at a new meeting place, and Bond's entire day was ruined, and the whole plan just turned into one great mess.

## Background

In 1959 Fleming was commissioned by *The Sunday Times* to write a series of articles based on world cities, material for which later was collected into a book entitled *Thrilling Cities*; whilst travelling through New York for material, Fleming wrote "007 in New York" as a inner monologue from Bond's point of view.

"007 in New York" was originally titled "Reflections in a Carey Cadillac" and it contains a recipe for scrambled eggs which came from May Maxwell, the housekeeper to friend Ivar Bryce who gave her name to Bond's own housekeeper, May. The story was first published in the New York Herald Tribune in October 1963 as "Agent 007 in New York", but was subsequently renamed as "007 in New York" for the 1964 US editions of *Thrilling Cities*.
Krebs

**Willy Krebs** served with Sir Hugo Drax the 105th Panzer Brigade, becoming his friend and later a loyal servant.

## History

Krebs was a soldier in the Wehrmacht during World War II, before becoming a Skorzeny Werwolf commando. After the Ardennes offensive he stayed behind Allied lines operating with his commando group under the command of Hugo von der Drache. The earned the nickname "punisher" after his ruthless techniques of interrogation via torture.

After Germany's defeat he returned to a civilian life in his homeland until he was found, along with many of his fellow soldiers, by Hugo Drax. Drax used him and the others to build his Moonraker missile. In order to prevent anyone from recognizing him, he shaved his head and grew a moustache

James Bond is introduced to Krebs when he first arrives at Drax's compound as his new security overseer and catches Krebs snooping through his room. Later, whilst talking to Gala Brand, she tells Bond that Krebs has done the same to her in the past. The pair catch him in the act and Bond beats him in combat, kicking him sharply in the forehead.

He is reported by the pair to Drax who places him under house-arrest until the launch of the Moonraker experiment. The next day, while investigating the exhaust ports, a controlled landslide nearly kills Bond and Gala.

He later accompanies Drax and Gala to London and realizes that Gala has discovered Drax's scheme with the Moonraker missile's co-ordinates. He restrains her and binds her in the rear of Drax's car. When Bond pursues them he captures Bond and helps Drax bring them back to Dover.

## Behind the Scenes

Krebs bears the same name as Adolf Hitler's last Chief of Staff.

Krebs was also the name of one of Ian Flemings close friend when he was younger but grew apart when they had a falling out.
00 Agent

**00 Agents** are elite special operatives of MI6 who have a discretionary 'Licence to Kill' in the field in order to complete their mission. Standard mandatory retirement age for an agent is 45. Although Ian Fleming only mentioned five 00 agents. The first Mention was in Moonraker. At this time it only gave 3 00. In Thunderball and On her Majestys Secret Service are to new ones added. Others have been added by continuation authors.
Colonel Sun

Published on
 Publisher
 Pages

***Colonel Sun*** is a novel by Kingsley Amis published by Jonathan Cape on 28 March 1968 under the pseudonym "Robert Markham". *Colonel Sun* is the first James Bond continuation novel published after Ian Fleming's death in 1964. Before writing the novel, Amis wrote two other Bond related works, the literary study *The James Bond Dossier* and the humorous *The Book of Bond*.

Amis drew upon a holiday he had taken in the Greek islands to create a realistic Greek setting and characters. He emphasised political intrigue in the plot more than Fleming had done in the canonical Bond novels, also adding revenge to Bond's motivations by including M's kidnapping. Despite keeping a format and structure similar to Fleming's Bond novels, *Colonel Sun* was given mixed reviews.

## Plot summary

After his superior officer in the British Secret Service, M, is violently kidnapped from his house, Quarterdeck, James Bond follows the clues to Vrakonisi, an Aegean island of Greece, where he teams with Ariadne Alexandrou, a Greek Communist agent working for the Soviet Union. Together, they plan to rescue M while thwarting the complex military-political plans of People's Liberation Army Colonel Sun Liang-tan, the Chinese agent sent to sabotage a Middle East détente conference, of which the Soviets are hosts, and implicate Great Britain.

Meanwhile, Stuart Thomas, the British Head of Station disappears. Bond and Ariadne, who by now are lovers follow a lead to Vrakonisi, a small island off Greece where Colonel Sun is holding M. Ariadne enlists the help of an old friend of hers, Niko Litsas a World War II resistance veteran, who wishes revenge on former Nazi officer Von Richter for his World War II atrocities. Von Richter is in league with Colonel Sun, so Litsas and Bond share a common enemy.

Litsas and Bond overpower a guard ship meant to prevent their reaching the island, where a Russian-led peace conference is taking place and Bond fears it will be attacked by the Chinese, with his and M's bodies left nearby so that everyone will presume they were responsible. Ariadne proves unable to convince Russian General Arenski of the plot, but he sets up a plan to lure Bond which he doesn't fall for. Bond then sees Sun and Von Richter setting up for their attack on the Russians from Sun's neighboring house, where they deduce M is being held.

They attack by night but are captured. Sun then viciously tortures Bond in preparation for dumping his body, but one of his disgusted female helpers cuts Bond's bonds without the villain seeing. Bond stabs Sun and frees the others, killing Sun's henchmen and preventing von Richter from firing the mortar enough to hit the conference. Litsas finishes the German off, but Bond finds that Sun has survived the stabbing and now plans to come at Bond with a grenade. Bond reaches safety and finally stabs Sun through the heart.

Judy Havelock

**Judy Havelock** is a character from the short story "For Your Eyes Only" that is included in the eponymous anthology written by Ian Fleming.

## History

Judy Havelock is the daughter of Colonel Timothy Havelock (Ret.) and his wife, who are assassinated at the behest of Herr von Hammerstein by Major Hector Gonzales because they refused to sell their Jamaican property. von Hammerstein then proceeds to bully Judy into selling the property with intimidation tactics. On one such occasion, von Hammerstein's men hill her pet dog whom she'd raised from a puppy.

Judy travels to Cuba on order to find out about von Hammerstein and Gonzales. She dressed herself up and wore her family's jewelry, gambling it big in a casino. She slowly finds leads on the murderous pair before finding out von Hammerstein's current whereabouts from a police officer after sleeping with him.

Meanwhile, M, a family friend, asks James Bond his opinion on the Havelock case. Questioning his own motivation for sending an agent after von Hammerstein, he wonders if he should as it may look like a revenge action. Bond reassures M saying von Hammerstein should be dealt with. M agrees and sends Bond to Vermont, via Canada, where von Hammerstein and his men are hiding. There, Bond runs into Judy Havelock, who is there to personally kill von Hammerstein.

Judy finds Bond surveying von Hammerstein's property and mistakes him for a deer poacher. Upon Bond revealing he knew her identity she was initially suspicious of him, but Bond and Judy join up to take on von Hammerstein, Gonzales and the others. Armed with a bow and arrow, Judy kills von Hammerstein by shooting him in the back with a arrow from 100 yards (91 m) away at the precise moment that he dives into a lake. A shoot-out then occurs between Bond and Gonzales and the two Cuban gunmen. Judy was then wounded during the gunfight that followed, a bullet grazing her arm.

After the incident is cleared up Bond arranges with the authorities in Canada for her to be given passage to London and for her to be given permission to meet M personally. It is revealed that she later moved from her estate in Jamaica to take up residence in Canada.

## Trivia

* Judy has wide eyed vision, a trait Bond himself possesses and apparently an essential skill for a 00 Agent.
Nekron

Nekron leben im Süden im Exil. Diese leben im Wasser und an Land. Anders als die normalen Amphibien sind Nekron allerdings keine Schwimmer. Anatomisch besitzen diese eine so hohe Körperdichte wodurch Sie am Meeresboden entlang laufen. Beim übergang von Land zu Wasser muss der Nekron bewusst seine Kiemen aktivieren und die Atmung umschalten. So kann man einen bewusstlosen Nekron theoretisch ertränken.

Vom Körperbau sind Nekro ausgewachsen  ca. 1,80m groß, wobei das Gesicht auf der Höhe von 1,40m ist. Meistens sind die Nekro auch sehr breit und wiegen bis zu 500kg. Durch ihr enorm hohes Gewicht neigen die Nekron dazu viele Dinge unter sich unabsichtlich zu zerstampfen. Ihr Körper erlaubt kleinere Sprünge und auch schneller Laufen, allerdings kann ein gewöhnlicher Human diese auslaufen. Nekro besitzen eine glänzende Haut die an Haie erinnern. Sie besitzen einen einen sehr flexiblen und starken Schwanz welcher dazu gedacht ist ihnen beim Aufrichten des Körpers zu Helfen oder feine Arbeiten zu verrichten. Nekros vermehren sich wie normale Säugetiere weiter, wobei da die Kinder im Wasser großgezogen werden und dann ans Land gewöhnt.

Nekros besitzen neben ihrem massiven Körper und der Wasseratmung eine große Kampfkraft. Allerdings besitzen diese kein Mana und können daher keine Magie anwenden. Allerdings besitzten ihre Körper einen enorm hohen Widerstand gegenüber Phyischen, Feuer, Wasser und Luft/Blitz Schaden. Unterhalten können sich die Nekron mithilfe einer Zeichensprache. Ansonsten besitzen Sie eine recht einfache Kultur und sind auch technisch nicht sehr weit fortgeschritten. Im Wasser greifen diese meistens im Nahkampf mit Schlagwaffen und stumpfen Waffen. An Land werfen Sie zuätzlich Felsen o.Ä. .

Beim Zusammentreffen mit den Spähern Vagorns zeigten sich die Nekron zwar nicht feindlich, allerdings wollten Sie keine Zusammenarbeit mit Vagorn. Sie wollen ihre eigenes friedliches Leben leben und schotten sich weitesgehend von der Außenwelt ab.
Bentley Mark VI

The Bentley Mark VI is a 4-door standard steel sports saloon was the first post-war luxury car built by Bentley. James Bond purchases a Bentley Mark VI, his second Bentley, towards the end of the novel *Moonraker*.

## History

*"The 1953 Mark VI had an open touring body. It was battleship grey like the old 4½ litre that had gone to its grave in a Maidstone garage, and the dark blue leather upholstery gave a luxurious hiss as he climbed awkwardly in beside the test driver."*
In *Casino Royale*, *Live and Let Die* and *Moonraker* Bond's cherished car was his 1933 Bentley 4½ Litre. After it was destroyed is his pursuit of Hugo Drax, he used his earlier gambling winnings from Drax to buy a 1953 Bentley Mark VI with a Coachbuilt, 2 door, open touring body. Bondologist John Griswold noted that this car would have been fitted with the 4,556 cc engine.

Like his previous Bentley, the Mark VI is painted in battleship grey and fitted with dark blue leather upholstery. The car is featured only briefly; consisting of a test drive scene where Bond buys the car on the condition that the test driver brings the vehicle to the ferry terminal at Calais by the following evening. After *Moonraker* the Mark VI is never mentioned again, leaving its ultimate fate unknown.

Mary Jane Mashkin

**Mary Jane Mashkin** is the mistress of Dr. Anton Murik in *Licence Renewed*.

## History

Upon being briefed about Anton Murik's connections with Franco, James Bond is informed that Mary Jane Mashkin is a Cambridge-educated physicist who has served as Murik's secretary for ten years, as well as his personal advisor and mistress. When Bond arrives to the Scottish village of Murcaldy, Bond becomes acquainted with Murik, Mashkin, and Lavender Peacock.

He accompanies them on a horse race, and gradually gains Murik's trust by stealing a priceless necklace from Lavender, and claiming he found it dropped. As a result and Bond's disguised profession as a mercenary, Murik invites Bond to his castle to participate in the Highland Games.

That same night, Mashkin notices Bond's encounter with Caber outside of the castle, and tells Bond of a massive new drainage system down the trail from Murik's castle. Under the claim that Bond was lost and looking for the castle, Mashkin invites Bond into the castle.

While eavesdropping on Murik's conversation with Franco in his study room that same night, Mashkin opens the door checking up on Bond. One night later, with help from Lavender Peacock, Bond tries to escape Murik Castle, but is captured after a violent car chase resulting in the two deaths of Murik's men. Suspicious of Bond's actions, Mashkin administers several hypodermic drug doses in hopes Bond will reveal his true identity.

When this fails, Murik transports Bond via Blackhawk aircraft to Perpignan, France, where he escapes him at the airport. At a fashion show in the Palais des rois de Majorque, Bond kills Franco, who accidentally shoots a gelatin capsule at Mary Jane originally aimed for Lavender, the true heir of the Laird title. Captured again, Bond learns from Murik that the gelatin capsule resulted in a fatal heart attack for Mary Jane.
Rhoda Llewellyn

**Rhoda Llewellyn** is an ex airline hostess, who became infamous amongst the "well to do" crowd in Bermuda as an adulterer.

## History

Rhoda Llewellyn was an airline hostess who travelled all over the world. During one flight she met a man named Philip Masters, a colonial office employee who was on his way back home to London from Nigeria. The two instantaneously fell in love and married shortly afterwards. The two moved to Bermuda, where Masters worked as a foreign diplomat.

After their marriage, Rhoda became very bored with life on such a tiny island. While learing to play golf, she initiated a very public affair with the eldest son of a prominent Bermudan family. While her husband was gone, the governor's wife Lady Burford scolded Rhoda who ended her affair. When Masters returned, Rhoda seemed penitent and wanted to start anew. However, Masters was not too forgiving. He took the outlandish step of dividing their house in half so the couple would not need to speak to each other, an unthinkable action before the affair.

After Masters returned to England without her, Rhoda discovered that Philip had left her penniless with no income nor saleable property. Eventually, she gained sympathy from the community which had shunned her during her affair and she later received passage to Jamaica by way of Lady Burford and worked as a hotel receptionist until being met by a millionaire from Canada who married her granting her some measure of atonement.

Lisl Baum

**Lisl Baum** is the love interest of James Bond during his attempt to stop the opium trade in Italy from reaching Britain.

## History

The mistress of local smuggler Enrico Columbo, Lisl Baum is sent to extract information from James Bond. At a restaurant owned by Colombo, he and Lisl intentionally quarrel to attract Bond's attention, climaxing with her pouring a glass of wine over him and storming out in fury.

Bond, posing as a writer, avails of the opportunity to meet her and the pair share a ride to her hotel. He tells her he would be appreciative if she would tell him stories about drug smuggling in Italy as research for a book/screenplay he was writing, even offering her diamonds as an incentive. Lisl invites Bond to her meet her on a Venetian beach the next day.

As promised, Bond does pay her a visit the next day. He finds her sunbathing under a beach umbrella. A rather cautious and nervous sounding Lisl speaks to Bond of Colombo briefly before they are interrupted. Bond sees three of Colombo's men approach. He leaves Lisl and runs off down the beach, but gets caught by Colombo.

After Bond kills Kristatos and destroys his opium smuggling operations, Colombo tells Bond about a custom they have in uncivilized countries where a man will offer one of his wives to a friend he is indebted to. He gives Bond a hotel room key, and tells him that Lisl expects him there that evening.
For Special Services

Publisher
 Pages

***For Special Services***, first published in 1982, was the second novel by John Gardner featuring Ian Fleming's secret agent, James Bond. Carrying the Glidrose Publications copyright, it was first published in the United Kingdom by Jonathan Cape.

It is the first novel in John Gardner's "SPECTRE Trilogy" with *Role of Honour* and *Nobody Lives Forever* the other two.

## Plot summary

Bond teams up with CIA agent Cedar Leiter, daughter of his old friend, Felix Leiter, to investigate one Markus Bismaquer, who is suspected of reviving the criminal organisation SPECTRE, which was believed to have been disbanded years earlier following the death of its leader, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, at the hands of Bond (in *You Only Live Twice*).

The British Secret Service learns that Bismaquer is an obsessive collector of rare prints, so Bond and Cedar visit the man's huge ranch in Amarillo, Texas posing as art dealers. Disguised as Mr. and Mrs. Penbrunner, Bond and Cedar show Bismaquer the Hogarth prints, and are introduced to his wife Nena.

Bismaquer makes an attempt to purchase the prints, but Bond informs him they are not for sale. Shortly after, Nena agrees to show Bond a guided tour of Rancho Bismaquer. There, she reveals her past in studying art in Paris since she was twelve, and tells Bond that she knows the Hogarth prints are fake.

Bond and Cedar's true identities are soon revealed, but not until Bond holds his own both in an impromptu (and fixed) car race arranged by Bismaquer against his assistant Walter Luxor, and in the bed of Nena. Nena, who has only one breast, quickly wins Bond's heart and his sympathy and Bond is convinced that Marku Bismaquer is the one now being referred to as the new Blofeld.

Bond discovers that the revitalised SPECTRE plans to take over control of NORAD headquarters in order to gain control of America's military space satellite network. His true identity revealed, Bond is captured and brainwashed into believing he is an American general assigned to inspect NORAD. Although he has been set up to be killed in the ensuing attack by SPECTRE forces on the base, Bond regains his personality and his memory. Apparently Bismaquer, who is bisexual, has taken a liking to Bond and sabotaged the hypnosis.

When Bond returns to Bismaquer's ranch, he witnesses Bismaquer being killed by Nena for his extra-marital affairs. Nena then reveals herself to Bond that she was behind the operations, and explains that she is the illegitimate daughter of Ernst Stavro Blofeld and a French prostitute he lived with for a couple of years. She also reveals that she had a price on Bond's head, and by having SPECTRE involved, Bond would be lured into her trap.

When Walter Luxor quickly comes to warn Nena of the incoming authorities, she accidentally shoots him intending to kill Bond just before falling into the crushing grip of her own pet pythons. She is later put out of her misery by Felix Leiter, who arrives on the scene to help rescue his daughter.

Taking several months to recover from injuries sustained at the end of the earlier book, Bond has his new weapon forced upon him. Although he is initially reluctant to use the weapon, he soon comes to rely on it.

The introduction of the PPK as Bond's favoured weapon came about after a series of unfortunate errors contained in Ian Fleming's early Bond novels. Firearms expert Geoffrey Boothroyd fired off several helpful letters to Fleming correcting these errors and making helpful suggestions as to a suitable replacement for the "Beretta with the skeleton grip".

In one extensive letter to Fleming regarding the accuracy of Russian firearms Boothroyd suggested in passing that Bond should carry the German made 7.65mm Walther PPK (Polizei Pistolen Krimminal = Criminal Police Pistol, designed for undercover detectives) as his chosen sidearm. Though not as accurate as some other pistols of the same era the PPK had the great advantage of using the 7.65mm calibre (0.32" cartridge) which was readily available all over the world, fitting in with Bonds Jet Set lifestyle perfectly. Thus the PPK entered into Bond folklore and into popular culture as the preferred weapon of the espionage operative.

What is less well known is that Fleming was so grateful for Geoffrey Boothroyds advice on firearms that he named the "Armourer" in Bond novels "Major Boothroyd" - now known as "Q". In the novel *Dr No* "M" introduces "Major Boothroyd" to 007 as the *"greatest small arms expert in the world".*

### Continuum

By the time John Gardner took over as Bond novelist, he had retired the PPK. However Raymond Benson reinstated the PPK in his first novel, *Zero Minus Ten*. In the following novels Bond uses both guns: the PPK for undercover work as it is smaller and easier to conceal while he used the Walther P99 for jobs that did not require concealment.
Horror

**Sol "Horror" Horowitz** is a mobster in the employ of Mr. Sanguinetti, coming from a mafia controlled town in New York State.

## History

In the second third of the *The Spy Who Loved Me*, the female protagonist, Vivienne Michel, is employed at "The Dreamy Pines Motor Court" in the Adirondack Mountains by managers Jed and Mildred Phancey. At the end of the vacation season, the Phancey’s entrust Viv to look after the motel for the night before the owner, Mr. Sanguinetti, can arrive to take inventory and close it up for the winter. Two mobsters, Horror and "Sluggsy" Morant, both of whom work for Sanguinetti, arrive and say they are there to look over the motel for insurance purposes.

In reality, the two have been hired by Sanguinetti to burn down the motel so that Sanguinetti can make a profit on the insurance. The blame for the fire would fall on Viv, who was to perish in the incident. The mobsters, are cruel to Viv and, when she says she does not want to dance with them, they attack her, holding her down and starting to remove her top. They are about to continue the attack with rape when the door buzzer stops them.

British secret service agent James Bond appears at the door asking for a room, having had a flat tyre while passing. Bond quickly realises that Horror and Sluggsy are mobsters and that Viv is in danger. Pressuring the two men, he eventually gets the gangsters to agree to provide him a room. That night Sluggsy and Horror set fire to the motel and attempt to kill Bond and Michel. A gun battle ensues and, in the process of escaping, Horror and Sluggsy's car crashes into a lake. Horror was shot at the wheel by Bond and either died of the wound or subsequently drowned in the lake.

## Behind the scenes

According to Jeremy Black, the two thugs, Sluggsy and Horror, are "comic-book villains with comic-book names". Their characters are not given the same status as other villains in Bond stories, but are second-rate professional killers, which makes them more believable in the story.
Major Boothroyd

**Major Boothroyd** better known as **Q** (standing for Quartermaster); the head of Q Branch, the fictional research and development division of the British Secret Service introduced in Ian Fleming's sixth James Bond novel, *Dr. No*.

## Novel biography

### *Casino Royale*

Q is first mentioned after Bond is assigned to take down Le Chiffre. M suggests to Bond that he should go and have a talk to Q about any equipment he might need.

### *Live and Let Die*

Later, after Bond escapes from an agent of SMERSH, M tells him to get Q to organize a plastic surgeon to repair the skin where a "Ш" sign was cut into his left hand. When Bond arrives in Jamaica in his pursuit of Mr. Big, he is given state of the art diving equipment from Q via John Strangways, head of station C.

### *Dr. No*

After James Bond’s recovery from being poisoned by Rosa Klebb in Paris, M calls Major Boothroyd the best armourer in the world for advice on weapons for agents in the field. Q is called into M's office to present him and Bond with alternatives to Bond's current weapon of choice, the Beretta 418 pistol, whose stalled drawing time led to Bond's poisoning at the hands of Colonel Klebb. He calls the Beretta a "ladies gun" and suggests a variety of other weapons to them such as the Russian Tokarev TT-33, the Japanese M-14 and the Sauer M-38 before finally settling on the Walther PPK as his personal choice and recommendation, which is approved by M.

## Behind the scenes

The origin of Q’s character is rather complicated. In the Fleming novels there are frequent references to "Q branch", the first being in *Casino Royale*, a division of the British Secret Service which provides equipment to field operatives.

In the sixth novel, *Dr. No*, the service armourer Q physically appears for the first time. Fleming named the character after Geoffrey Boothroyd, a firearms expert who lived in Glasgow, Scotland. He had written to Fleming suggesting that Bond was not using the best firearms available; criticizing in particular Bond's use of the Beretta 418 pistol. Grateful for the advice, Fleming phased out the Beretta and wrote the character of Boothroyd into the subsequent novel.

Q is also referenced occasionally in the continuation novels of John Gardner, but the author favoured instead to focus on a new character of his own invention, Q'ute. Successor Bond author Raymond Benson used Q’s character on several occasions.
MI6

**MI6** (originally Military Intelligence Section 6), more commonly known as **Secret Intelligence Service** (**SIS**), or the *Secret Service* or simply *Six*, is the United Kingdom's external intelligence agency.

SIS is responsible for the United Kingdom's espionage activities overseas, as opposed to MI5 which is charged with internal security within the UK. It was founded in October 1909 (along with MI5) as the Foreign Section of the Secret Service Bureau. Its first director was Captain Sir George Mansfield Smith-Cumming, who, often dropping the "Smith", used his initial "C" as a code name which was also used by all subsequent directors of SIS including current head, Admiral Sir Miles Messervy "M".
The Book of Bond

***The Book of Bond or, Every Man His Own 007*** is a book by Kingsley Amis which was first published by Jonathan Cape in 1965. For this work, Amis used the pseudonym Lt.-Col. William ("Bill") Tanner. In Ian Fleming's James Bond novels, Bill Tanner is M's chief of staff and a recurring character throughout the series.

## Overview

A tongue-in-cheek work, published by the same company that issued the Bond novels, *The Book of Bond* is a manual for prospective agents on how to live like Agent 007, illustrated with examples taken from Fleming's Bond canon.

The first edition of this book was published with a false slipcover printed with the title *The Bible to be Read as Literature*. In one of the early Bond novels, Bond carries his gun in a hollowed out book of this title.

Amis, a close friend of Fleming's, was also responsible for two other works related to the James Bond series. In 1965, he wrote *The James Bond Dossier*, a collection of essays on the book and film series, and in 1968, under the pseudonym Robert Markham, he wrote the Bond novel *Colonel Sun*.
Beetsel

Beetsel, oder auch Pflanzenträger genannt, sind Lebewesen welche sich überall im Exil aufhalten. Dabei handelt es sich um eine sehr friedlebende Rasse. Diese sammeln diverse Samen und kleine Setzling und Pfanzen diese an ihrem Körper. Sobald diese groß genug gewachsen um entweder zu schwer für den Beetsel zu werden oder die Pflanze selbstständig wachsen kann. Dann Pflanzen die Beetsel die gewachsenen Pflanzen in den Boden und suchen sich neue Samen. Beetsel benötigen, ähnlich wie eine Pflanze nur Wasser und Sonne. Tagsüber legen sich Beetsel einfach in die Sonne und gehen gelegentlich zu einer Wasserstelle. Nachts schlingen sich Beetsel häufig um Bäume oder graben sich in den Boden ein. Beetsel besitzen keinerlei Kampffähigkeiten. Wie alt ein Beetsel werden kann bzw woher diese kommen weiß man nicht. Allerdings hat man diese schon an verschiedenen Gebiete im Exil gefunden.

Beetsel sind ca. 80cm hoch und 2m lang. Sie haben vier Beine und einen Schweif. Der ganze Körper ist mit einer moosartigen Haut überzogen. Dort kann ein Beetsel verschiedene "Poren" öffnen um Samen dort zu pflanzen. So wirkt es häufig so, als ob ein Busch mit verschiedenen Pflanzen umherläuft, da der Kopf fast vollständig im Busch verschwindet. Beim Untersuchen eines Beetsel Leichnams hat man aber eine normale Strukur eines Säugetiers, mit Mana. Die Wurzeln der Pflanzen wachsen in das Fleisch des Beetsel und nährt sich davon. Gleichzeitig zapft der Körper aber auch die Samen an um Energie zu erhalten. Es ist allerdigns unbekannt ob der Beetsel wirklich Kontrolle über das Mana hat. Auch die Pflanzen die ein Beetsel dann wieder zurück in den Boden pflanzt sind äußerst Potent und haben eine beschleunigtes Wachstum, selbst einige Wochen nach dem einpflanzen.
Jack Strap

**Jack Strap** is a Mob boss in charge of the Spangled Mob's Las Vegas interests. He was one of Auric Goldfinger's co-conspirators to steal the gold bullion stores held at Fort Knox.

## History

A cigar smoking gangster in the Spangled Mob, Jack Strap worked as a front man for the Las Vegas casinos they owned. Strap emerged as the gangs new leader in the aftermath of the smuggling pipeline of the Spang brothers (Jack and Seraffimo) destruction at the hand of James Bond. He took over the positions of the Spang brothers and moved the gang's interests away from diamond smuggling.

Eventually, he was summoned by the treasurer of SMERSH, Auric Goldfinger to a meeting of other American gang leaders. After hearing Goldfinger's plan to raid the U.S. gold bullion depository at Fort Knox, he agreed to partake in Operation Grand Slam. Strap sent several of his best men from the mob to assist. After the raid failed, due to James Bond's message to Felix Leiter, Goldfinger personally executed Strap, along with other mob bosses he hired for the job.
Barbara Mawdsley

Barbara Mawdsley is successor to Sir Miles Messervy and is the new M, the head of the British Secret Service, MI6.

## History

### *Zero Minus Ten*

M sends Bond to investigate a number of terrorist attacks in Hong Kong that could potentially disrupt the fragile handover to the Chinese and cause the breakout of a large-scale war.

### *The Facts of Death*

M’s lover, Alfred Hutchinson, Great Britain’s "Goodwill Ambassador to the World" is murdered in the Agean. She sends Bond to investigate the numbered killings there and put an end to it.
Solange

**Solange** was one of James Bond's romantic interests who appeared first in the Ian Fleming short story "007 in New York" simply as "Solange".

## History

Solange is first mentioned when James Bond is fantasizing about meeting a girl that he would call "Solange", in his inner monologue, in Paris during the short story "From a View to A Kill". He seems to base this visualization on someone he has previously met. Whether this is a reference to the same character is not 100% verified.

Solange later features in *Octopussy and The Living Daylights*. Due to its brief length, the original "007 in New York" short story reveals next to nothing about Solange's background, other than her previous relationship with Bond, M and the secret service. She is James Bond's contact with whom he spends time while in the big apple. She has a boyfriend who is a KGB contact and Bond is sent by M to ensure she knows of this as the FBI are close to discovering the affair.
