Commander James Bond, C.M.G., R.N., also known by the cryptonym 007, is a fictional intelligence agent of the Double-O Section, an ultra-covert unit within the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6). The '00' prefix indicates his discretionary licence to kill during the performance of his duties. Voiced by English actor Jason Carter, the character made a cameo appearance in the Electronic Arts' 2004 spin-off video-game GoldenEye: Rogue Agent.
Biography[]
GoldenEye: Rogue Agent[]
- "Goldfinger's taken his Midas fixation too far this time - follow my lead and we'll get the job done."
- ― James Bond to Hunter
James Bond was assigned to participate in a virtual reality training mission with a 00-Section candidate named Hunter. As part of the simulation, the two men were sent into a virtual Fort Knox with a team of commandos to disarm a nuclear device planted by Auric Goldfinger. However, things did not go smoothly and their helicopter was shot down en route; violently crashing through the depository roof and defenestrating both agents. Bond clung to the wrecked fuselage as it dangled precariously over a vertical drop. It quickly plummeted, taking the agent with it - to his "death". The reckless Hunter, who ultimately failed to prevent the simulated bomb from detonating, was held directly responsible for 007's death and left MI6 in disgrace. Bond continued to be in the employ of the Secret Intelligence Service.

Trivia[]
- Bond is programmed to fall when GoldenEye gets too close to him.
- Due to Pierce Brosnan's de facto departure from the role of James Bond during 2004[1], Rogue Agent was the second time that EON's character was not modelled after the likeness of their incumbent film actor.[2]
- The brevity of the character's cameo largely resulted from restrictions placed on the development team by the James Bond licence's stringent guidelines.[3][4]

But it was tricky because the Bond license comes with a lot of rules about what the character can and can't do."”
