Dryden appears in the DeliberatelyMonochrome prologue of the film. He is a corrupt [[UsefulNotes/SecretIntelligenceService MI6]] section chief in Prague. He is shot by Bond on his last mission before becoming a 00 Agent. He is Bond's second kill in the Craig continuity.

He appears in the prologue. He is Dryden's contact and attends a cricket match in Lahore, Pakistan (this is shown in a deleted scene). Bond follows him into the cricket club's toilets and they start brawling. He is notable as the first man to be killed by Bond in the Craig continuity, and the first of two kills required in order for Bond to qualify for 00-status.

** In the book, his [[ReallyGetsAround extreme lust]] is noted to be his AchillesHeel; he embezzled 50 million francs from SMERSH to buy a chain of brothels. This backfired when the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loi_Marthe_Richard Marthe Richard Law]]'' suddenly closed all brothels in France and ruined his investment, putting him severe debt. In addition, one of his mistresses was working for [=MI6=], and was able to uncover the state of his financials, leading to the operation to bankrupt him.

* BigBadWannabe: He is introduced controlling the money of terrorists world wide. Despite this, a risky bet tgat causes him to lose the money reveals him as little more than a well paid SmugSnake. He is pretty much powerless when two terrorists threaten him if he fails to get the money back. After he loses to Bond in poker, he's reduced to a desperate state and decides to just torture Bond to get the money, and when Bond proves to be unwavering, he totally loses it and decides to kill him in a fit of anger. Then Mr. White arrives, tired with his failure and shoots him in the head with half an hour of film still left to go.

* StealingFromTheTill: Uses his clients' money to make high-risk investments when he was explicitly told to have "no risk in the portfolio".

* BigBadWannabe: He is introduced controlling the money of terrorists world wide.
