Biography[]
Thierry Cogney was an ex-French foreign legion Colonel who served in the First Indochina War. Following its conclusion, Cogney remained in Vietnam and subsequently indulged in various business ventures - both legal and illegal. Among his licit holdings, the wealthy entrepreneur owned a farm in Vietnam and a crab processing plant in Alaska; which was in reality a munitions warehouse for his arms trading activities. To create a market for his weaponry, Cogney planned to ignite a war between Pakistan and India by assassinating the Indian Prime Minister at the La Flour Trinh hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. To this end, Cogney used a Manila terrorist organisation, with ties to the Pakistani ISI, to deliver a powerful explosive device. The organisation came to the attention of SIS, who dispatched James Bond to follow the evidence trail to its conclusion. After thwarting the terrorist attack, 007 drove the truck bomb intended for the Prime Minister to Cogney's Vietnamese farm - detonating it and "forcing his retirement".
