17
18	The only major character to be exclusive to the book, "G" is the Director of SMERSH who is feared by every agent of Soviet Intelligence. He is also Klebb and Grant's superior in the book and charges them to both eliminate and humiliate James Bond for his past foilings of SMERSH plots.
19	----
20	* AdaptedOut: He is replaced by Blofeld in the film, as SMERSH is replaced by SPECTRE. The highest-ranking member of any Soviet secret service depicted in the films is the much, ''much'', [[AdaptationalHeroism more benign]] [[Characters/JamesBondRecurringCharacters General Gogol]].
21	* BaldOfEvil: His head is as shiny as a bleached skull, making his appear even more terrifying.
22	* BigOlEyebrows: Sports a pair, which also adds to the intimidation factor.
23	* ChestOfMedals: A paragraph is dedicated to what he has on his chest, naming a list of Russian honors, including, late in the list and through circumstances not elaborated on, two ''Western'' recognitions. These are likely from Allied cooperation during World War II.
24	* ClusterFBomb: Bombards the assembled intelligence generals with Russian swear words when they only bring up Bond halfway through the meeting, starting with the Russian "Holy shit!"
25	* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: He and his fellow intelligence big shots brainstorm a lot of creative deaths for Bond, before ultimately deciding on assassinating him and framing him for a sex scandal.
26	* TheDragon: He is mentioned to be the personal attack dog of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Serov General Ivan Serov]], the ultimate head of Soviet Intelligence, who, unlike G, really did exist.
27	* DragonInChief: The various Soviet intelligence services act as the Soviet regime's main enforcers. G oversees all of them.
28	* TheDreaded: His counterparts in the KGB, GRU, and RUMID all fear him. He is well aware of this and watches for signs of weakness when they have meetings, which he then in turn snitches on to Serov.
29	* EvilCounterpart: To M, being a spy chief with a single letter for a codename.
30	* GreaterScopeVillain: He is Klebb and Grant's commander, but otherwise has no part in their plot. In turn, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Serov Ivan Serov]] would be the GreaterScopeVillain to him, and UsefulNotes/NikitaKhrushchev to ''him''.
31	* ItsPersonal: This is G's default state in the novel ''With A Mind To Kill'' where holds great hatred towards Bond for having foiled his previous schemes and causing his political downfall.
32	* KarmaHoudini: He and Bond do not have any physical interaction. ''Literature/TriggerMortis'' implies that [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty he was forced to lay low]] after his scheme failed, but he then establishes himself as a major villain in ''With A Mind To Kill'', wanting revenge against 007 for his political humiliation.
33	* OverlyLongName: No wonder he goes by "G."
34	* PutOnABus: ''Literature/TriggerMortis'' briefly mentions that he's laying low after the death of Red Grant and the failure of the mission, with a new man replacing him as head of SMERSH. His fate is unknown to [=MI6=], however. This is subverted in ''With A Mind To Kill'', where he emerges as one of the lead villains and harbors a grudge against Bond.
35	* TheBusCameBack: He returns as one of the lead villains in the continuation novel ''With A Mind To Kill''.
36	* TheSpymaster: One of four the Soviet Union has, and the most dangerous by far.
37	* TheUnfought: Bond only climbs the SortingAlgorithmOfEvil as far as Klebb; he never meets G.
38	* VillainProtagonist: He is the viewpoint character for chapters four through six.
39	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He keeps watch to see if any of the other intelligence branch heads' usefulness may be wearing thin.

47	->''"Clever, aren't you, Mister Secret Service? Think I'm barmy. Don't worry. I wouldn't be where I was if I was barmy."''
48
49	A British soldier who defects to the Soviet Union after World War II and eventually becomes SMERSH's top assassin. Renamed "Krassno Granitsky" and given the code name "Granit."
50
51	----
52	* AxCrazy: Submachine gun crazy, actually, as far as his favoured execution method is to go by.
53	* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: At sixteen, he strangled a cat to satiate the 'feelings' and continued his lust killings initially with animals. This eventually escalated into killing off random people.
54	* BondVillainStupidity: In the crucial moment of Kronsteen's carefully laid plan, the assassin "Red" Grant - an Irishman who joined the Soviets - makes the fatal mistake of engaging in prolonged crowing, boasting and gloating instead of just going ahead with his assigned task of killing Bond. This allows Bond the chance to improvise a desperate last-moment plan which works, enabling him to kill Grant and use the information which Grant carelessly revealed in order to catch the senior Soviet operative Rosa Klebb.
55	* BookDumb: He failed the political indoctrination portion of his training, but showed high skill levels in the technical subjects. As it turned out, this was exactly what his superiors in SMERSH wanted to hear. Once in the field, he shows that he's not just DumbMuscle when he demonstrates skills that other henchmen in the franchise are incapable of.
56	* BookSafe: He has a .25 pistol concealed in a copy of ''Literature/WarAndPeace'', which [[ShoePhone fires if you press the spine in the right place]].
57	* ChainsawGood: During one lunatic phase, he was allowed to execute political dissidents with a chainsaw.
58	* DirtyCommunists: In the book version, he defected to SMERSH just so he could become a [[PsychoForHire paid assassin]] as compared to [[SerialKiller killing them for free]] like he did before.
59	* TheDragon: For General G.
60	* DumbBlonde: Subverted. While he doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed (for starters, he mixed up Irish history with ''Russian propaganda slogans'' during training), he's actually able to do things that other ''Bond'' villain henchmen are completely incapable of (like use stealth or hold down a cover). Grant also failed his written courses in training, but was otherwise great at code breaking, stalking, tracking, communications and graduated top of his class, a far cry from when he was near the very bottom at the start.
61	* FauxAffablyEvil: Still gregariously refers to Bond as "old man" after outing himself as an agent of SMERSH.
62	* FromCamouflageToCriminal: A British soldier and ex-IRA member who became an assassin for SMERSH.
63	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Killed with his own gun. This is ironic because the plan was to kill Bond with his own (Bond's) gun.
64	* {{Lunacy}}: His killing urges coincide with the full moon.
65	* PopCulturedBadass: He peppers his monologues to Bond with casual references to classic spy thrillers, such as Literature/BulldogDrummond. He's also got several thrillers and pulp fiction works lining his bookshelf in the beginning of the book.
66	* PsychoForHire: SMERSH's first instinct is to have him killed, giving that he's an insane serial killer with no interest in the communist cause. But they realise that someone who can systematically kill [[EvenEvilHasStandards without suffering mental breakdowns]] is useful for a system that regularly [[ThePurge purges political undesirables]].
67	* RedRightHand: Almost literally -- his reddish skin tone is noted as marring what are otherwise extremely handsome physical features, giving a clue to his nature.
68	* SerialKiller: He committed hundreds of murders in his hometown, mostly during a full moon, and barely got away when a giant manhunt started. However, nobody found out that the killer was him.
69	* TeensAreMonsters: He began killing at age seventeen, murdering men and women alike. He became known as the "Moon Killer" in his native Ireland before joining the British army.
70	* ThisIsReality: When he's finally got Bond cornered, he warns Bond that "no Literature/BulldogDrummond stuff" will save him. A very meta comment, since the Drummond stories were perhaps ''the'' biggest literary influence on Bond.
71	* TooSpicyForYogSothoth:
72	** Everyone he works for is absolutely terrified of him. Even the Soviet colonel who interviewed him after he defected from Britain seriously considered having Grant shot or deported to Siberia.
73	** SMERSH also consider killing Grant straight off, but decide that a psychotic killer is useful as he won't suffer the VillainousBreakdown that normal people do when killing large numbers of people over a long period of time. They keep tight control of Grant during his lunatic phases, just using him for executions instead of missions.
74	* VillainProtagonist: He is the viewpoint character for the first three chapters of the book.
75	* XanatosGambit: In Grant's backstory, the Soviet colonel who considers his defection assigns him to kill an [=MI6=] agent as proof of his sincerity and skill. From the KGB's perspective, it would still be a huge embarrassment for the West even if Grant doesn't succeed.

81	Lieutenant-General Vozdvishensky is the head of RUMID, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs intelligence department. He takes part in the plan to have 007 eliminated and [=MI6=] humiliated, although he feels less than enthusiastic about the plan.
82	----
83	* AdaptedOut: He doesn't make any appearance in the film, as SMERSH is replaced by SPECTRE.
84	* DeadpanSnarker: In the tense, backbiting atmosphere of the SMERSH meeting, he has room for a few wry remarks (mostly about American intelligence).
85	* DefectorFromDecadence: As shown in the novel, Vozdvishensky felt reluctant about having Bond killed off despite signing off on the death warrant given he enjoyed his time as a diplomat while stationed in London. The TieInNovel for ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' reveals that he's since defected to the West, conducting a language symposium for employees of the British Ministry of Defence.
86	* TokenGoodTeammate: He reluctantly signs off the death warrant against Bond despite his reservations about the plan to humiliate [=MI6=]. It's later revealed in the TieInNovel for ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' that he's since defected to England.

109	A corporal in Soviet Army Intelligence, assigned to work in the Soviet Embassy in Istanbul as a cipher clerk. Because of her beauty, Rosa Klebb assigns her the mission of seducing Bond and having him take her to England to deliver a LEKTOR code machine.
110	----
111	* AdaptationDyeJob: She's a brunette in the book, and a blonde in the film.
112	* AffectionateNickname: Her friends call her "Tania".
113	* BlueBlood: In the book, she is a distant member of the House of Romanov though her grandparents, though she doesn't frequent the ''buivshi'' circles.
114	* DreamCrushingHandicap: Not exactly a handicap, but she says that when she was younger, she dreamed of becoming a ballerina. She was rejected when she grew an inch above regulation (the book mentions the height limit is five foot six inches).
115	* FakeDefector: She's told that her mission was to become one of these to leak false intelligence to the West. [[spoiler: Her mission is actually a set up to lure Bond into a situation where SMERSH can kill both of them in a manner that embarrasses the British government.]]
116	* FakeRussian: In the film, she's played by Daniela Bianchi, who's Italian.
117	* FamousNamedForeigner: Shares a surname with the Russian royal family. In the book, it's stated that her grandparents were distantly related to them. Kronsteen comments that it seems odd that a Romanov should be involved in SMERSH's plot.
118	* GirlOfTheWeek: The Bond Girl for this film.
119	* LegFocus: Bond is using a periscope installed under the Soviet embassy to spy on a meeting inside, when she enters. He can't see her face from his angle, but what he can see impresses him greatly.
120	-->'''Karim Bey:''' How does she look to you?
121	-->'''James Bond:''' Well from this angle, [[DoubleEntendre things are shaping up nicely]].
122	* MsFanservice: Rosa Klebb chooses her specifically because she's the most attractive agent at her disposal to lure Bond. And most of Tania's screentime has her in nighties later on.
123	* NiceGirl: She is genuinely pleasant, kind, and friendly.
124	* ReadyForLovemaking: Her intro to Bond (which was used to audition the Bond Girls by the producers).
125	* SameLanguageDub: Her English was fine, but Bianchi's thick Italian accent wasn't.
126	* SensualSlavs: She's a sexy Russian woman stationed in Istanbul.
127	* SexFaceTurn: Was initially pretending to be in love with James Bond, but (more obviously in the movie) fell for him for real after having sex with him.
128	* SexySecretary: Sexy ''cipher clerk''.
129	* StockingFiller: She wears black silk stockings (as per the original scene in the book) as part of her outfit to seduce Bond. They're only very briefly seen in the movie as released, but there are a number of photos of Daniela Bianchi (as Tatiana) wearing these stockings in the screen-test version of the scene, notably when Bond pulls the bedsheet off Tatiana to reveal her stockinged legs.
130	* TextualCelebrityResemblance: In the novel, she bore a strong resemblance to a young Creator/GretaGarbo, with a wide mouth and dark brown hair intentionally styled after the Swedish-born actress.
131	* TookALevelInBadass: In the comic book ''James Bond 007: Light of My Death'', she returns as a fully trained secret agent to help Bond on a mission.
132	* TropeCodifier: Her bedroom encounter with James is used to screen-test future Bonds and Bond Girls.
133	* UnwittingPawn: She carries out the mission given to her by Rosa Klebb thinking that Klebb's still from the Soviet government, without realizing that Klebb has long ago defected to SPECTRE and that she ordered Red Grant to kill her and Bond and then make it look like it was a murder-suicide. In the book, she is made aware that she's taking part in a plot to give false information to the West, but not that the plan is for her to be killed alongside Bond.

144
145	A former circus strongman, he is [=MI6=]'s head of Station T in Istanbul. He is a wise, good natured man whom Bond immediately takes a liking to.
146	----
147	* AbusiveParents: We get to learn his rather twisted backstory in the book. His father was a brutish man who stole other men's wives and thrashed his kids for discipline. Nevertheless his community respected him (as does Kerim in an odd way) due to being a poor village that prized strength.
148	* AdaptationalHeroism: Calling Kerim's character in the book a "bad guy" is probably a stretch, but the film still omits most of his less savory character traits, most infamously his cheery endorsement of the NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization.
149	* AdaptationNameChange: His given name was changed from "Darko" to "Ali" in the film, possibly because the context of "Darko" (which is exactly [[DarkIsEvil what you]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast think it is]]) would be uncomfortable even for 1963.
150	* CoolOldGuy: A cool guy, and Armendáriz's age was showing.
151	* FamilyBusiness: Most of his employees are his sons (and he has a lot).
152	* TheHedonist: One gets the distinct impression that if the government were to pay him to wallow in wine and women all day, he'd jump at the chance. As it stands, though, he's very good at what he does.
153	* InTheBack: How Grant kills him.
154	* TheLancer: To Bond.
155	* ThePatriarch: Exclusively employs family members, reasoning they're the only people you can trust in the spying business. This, of course, has the side effect of him being at least as promiscuous as Bond is.
156	* {{Pornstache}}: Look at the picture.
157	* ReallyGetsAround: Probably the only Bond character who gets more than Bond. This is a matter of necessity, as a large family means a lot of underlings who are guarenteed to be loyal to him.

161	-->"Arm or no arm, I ''have'' to pull that trigger."
162	* UnscrupulousHero: He's sexist, hedonistic, and willing to do all sorts of dubiously-moral deeds, but is also the most loyal and competent intelligence agent in Turkey.

180	In the movie, Rosa Klebb is depicted as a former SMERSH agent who has defected to become a member of SPECTRE (Blofeld refers to her as "Number 3"). She uses Kronsteen's plans to obtain the Lektor and kill Bond. In the book, she's SMERSH's Head of Operations and is tasked with putting Kronsteen's plan into action. In both, she deceives Tatiana Romanova into helping Bond steal the Lektor, and then sends Red Grant to kill Bond.
181	----
182	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: She's described as "toad-like" in the novel. She's nowhere near as hideous-looking in the film.
183	* AdaptationalSexuality: The film eliminates her scene from the book of outright trying to seduce Tatiana. In the movie she plays uncomfortably with Tatiana's hair while talking of "a labour of love".
184	* AdaptationalWimp: In the book, she managed to get a hit on Bond with the poisoned shoe and knocked him out until the next installment. Here, Bond manages to keep her at bay and without getting hit before Tania kills Klebb.
185	* AnimalMotifs: She's described as "toad-like" in the novel. She's also described as having "pale, thick, chicken's skin".
186	* ArmedLegs: Rosa Klebb has poisoned blades contained in her shoes.
187	* TheBaroness: An iconic example and the codifier for the "Klebb" type. She's a stone-faced, domineering and fully committed to accomplishing SPECTRE's goals by whatever means necessary.
188	* BigBad: While she is working under Blofeld, she is the primary villain of this movie and the one in charge of executing SPECTRE's plan to obtain the Lektor and kill James Bond.
189	* BlofeldPloy: She's spared and given a last chance.
190	* BusCrash: She actually survives the end of the book, and is arrested by the Deuxieme Bureau. At the beginning of ''Literature/DrNo'', it's offhandedly mentioned she died in prison, and she is then never brought up again. Even the cause of her death is unrevealed.
191	* ButchLesbian: She is described in the book as hard, almost masculine in appearance, coupled with several instances when she touches Tatiana and comments on her beauty. She, at one point, attempts to instigate congress between her and Tatiana, who runs out of the room screaming when she sees Klebb wearing lingerie.
192	* CoDragons: She and Kronsteen head different departments, but both report to SPECTRE Number One.
193	* DeathByAdaptation: In the book, she is merely taken into custody by the French. The next book, ''Literature/DrNo'', casually mentions that "she died" (implicitly under interrogation). In the film, she is shot dead during her final confrontation with Bond.
194	* DepravedBisexual: She apparently had an affair with Spanish Communist leader [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrés_Nin Andrés Nin]] (a historical figure), but was also pretty blatantly coming on to Tatiana.
195	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Her fate in the novel is being arrested, with the following book ''Literature/DrNo'' revealing that she died in custody. In the film, Tatiana shoots her.
196	* DirtyOldWoman: Implied to be a [[PsychoLesbian depraved lesbian]].
197	* TheDreaded: In the book, various stories surround her status as a TortureTechnician in the building she works. People feel much safer when she is in her office.
198	* EvenEvilHasStandards: She was visibly terrified and sweating when Blofeld ordered the death of Kronsteen.
199	* EvilRedhead: Evil and has red hair.
200	* FanDisservice: We get to read a description of her in her lingerie in the book. ''Eeeeew''.
201	* FatalFlaw: Not properly vetting her people. Kronsteen says that his plan went wrong when she chose Grant as Bond's assassin, [[JerkassHasAPoint and he has a point]]. She could have investigated Grant better and possibly uncovered his fatal flaw (which happened to be {{Greed}}), even though on paper he was totally the right guy.
202	* GonkyFemme: She is described in quite ugly terms in the book, but when Tatiana is ordered to report to Klebb's apartment for a late night briefing, Klebb is dressed in a babydoll-ish nightie and giggly tries to seduce Tatiana.
203	* GroinAttack: She attempts to be on the giving end when she tries to kill Bond at the end by kicking him in the crotch with her poison tipped shoe.
204	* HateSink: She's a very cruel, hateful, malevolent, and all-around despicable bitch.
205	* TheHeavy: While Grant carries the plot in the physical sense, it's Klebb who sets up SPECTRE's plan at the beginning of the movie and the functional BigBad throughout it, even showing up at the end to make a last-ditch effort to ensure the plan succeeds.
206	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Shot by her own henchwoman in the climax, with the gun she brought.
207	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Her choice of people wind up derailing SPECTRE's plan. She thought Tatiana would be loyal enough to entrap James Bond, but didn't count on her actually falling for him, while it never occurred to her that hiring a psychopath like Grant might be a bad idea.
208	* ImprobableWeaponUser: The famous [[TrickedOutShoes spring-loaded knife-tipped shoe]] she uses against Bond.
209	* KarmicDeath: Shot through the heart by her own protege, who had ''really'' fallen for the man she had groomed her to fake falling for.
210	* NerdGlasses: She wears particularly hideous thick-framed ''and'' thick-lensed glasses in many scenes.
211	* NeverMessWithGranny: In the book, she is a late middle-aged BigBad who can dish out serious hurt and fights dirty.
212	* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: She gives Tatiana the choice of either participating in her honey trap of James Bond, or get shot.
213	* OlderThanTheyLook: In the book, she's mentioned to be in her forties, but looks much older. Why is never explained.
214	* PoisonedWeapons: She has a poisoned dagger in the toe of her shoe. At the end of the film, she has a kicking fight with James Bond who pushes her against the wall with a chair until Tatiana Romanova shoots her.
215	* PragmaticVillainy: After Grant and Morzeny's attempts to capture Bond and retrieve the Lektor end up costing them their lives, Klebb takes the much simpler step of disguising herself as a maid to sneak into Bond's hotel suite and quietly steal the Lektor. It nearly works, too, only failing firstly because of Bond walking back in at an inconvenient moment, and then Tatiana recognizing her.
216	* PsychoLesbian: Her sexuality is kept ambiguous in the film but there's some hints towards it. Not so much in the book, in which... well, it's a lot more overt.
217	* ReadyForLovemaking: In the book, she tries to seduce Tatiana by putting on nighties and posing seductively on a sofa, inviting her to come beside her. Tatiana runs away in revulsion. Later, Tatiana reclines invitingly under the bedsheets in Bond's hotel room (nude except for choker and stockings) as part of her seduction of 007.
218	* RenegadeRussian: Defected from SMERSH in the movie. Totally loyal in the book.
219	* RoomDisservice[=/=]JanitorImpersonationInfiltration: Her last gambit to kill Bond and steal the McGuffin is to disguise herself as a hotel maid.
220	* ShoePhone: In the book, she has a machine gun built into her phone.
221	* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Goes from being a member of SMERSH in the novel to SPECTRE in the film.
222	* TortureTechnician: In the novel, she has a reputation for overseeing the interrogations of enemy agents in which, after exacting various methods of torture on the target, she speaks to them in a warm and motherly tone in an unusual and apparently effective method of extracting necessary information.
223	* TrickedOutShoes: She has a poisonous blade in her shoe.
224	* VillainousBreakdown: She's mostly calm throughout the movie, until she fights Bond, where's she noticeably starts to lose it and become more anxious. Justified in that if she fails to kill Bond and get the Lektor, she'll end up like Kronsteen.
225	* WhipOfDominance: The film adaptation gives her a riding crop during the scene where she interrogates Tatiana, to make her look even more authoritarian and imposing. Klebb uses it to great effect, lashing it on the table or in the chair when she wants to make a point.

He devised a plan to lure James Bond into Turkey and then kill him, humiliating the British government and getting revenge for the death of Dr. No. In the film, when the plan fails, he is killed with a spring-loaded, poison-tipped knife concealed in a shoe.
238	----
239	* AdaptationalKarma: There is no mention of anything happening to Kronsteen, either from [=MI6=] for trying to kill one of their agents or from SMERSH for failing in the book. He doesn't get the same treatment in the movie adaptation.
240	* AdaptationalVillainy: He's not a nice man in the book, but he's still [[PunchClockVillain just a Soviet Colonel doing his job]]. The film makes him into a board member for the world's most powerful terrorism-for-hire organization and gives him about a million levels in smugness.
241	* AmbiguouslyJewish: He has a first name in the book, "Tov", which is a Jewish name.
242	* AscendedExtra: He has an expanded role in the movie, being that he becomes the secondary antagonist, and is executed by Blofeld for being a SmugSnake.
243	* BatmanGambit: His plan revolves around making several deductions about how the British intelligence will act (such as them suspecting a trap but going along with it anyway in the hope of getting a Lektor, and them sending James Bond). All of his predictions come true.
244	* BlofeldPloy: Blofeld's first victim; it looks like Klebb will get the poison-knife kick, only for Morzeny to kick Kronsteen instead.
245	* TheChessmaster: He is SPECTRE's chief [[TheStrategist strategist]], and also a literal chess master. In the book, he gets a summons from SMERSH during a championship match but waits to obey it until he's won, risking his superiors' displeasure and possibly his life. They let it slide after he explains that he would have raised suspicion by suddenly resigning the match.
246	* CoDragons: He and Rosa Klebb head different departments, but both report to SPECTRE Number One.
247	* DeathByAdaptation: He doesn't die in the book; he ''fears'' that he will by delaying the SMERSH meeting to finish his chess match, but he's spared by General G. In the film, he's killed by a poisoned dagger as punishment.
248	* DeathByIrony: He was correct- it WAS Klebb who was at fault (or at least, more at fault) in the end, as the assassin she chose fatally chose to mock and toy with Bond [[BondVillainStupidity rather than kill him quickly]]. Unfortunately, either Blofeld didn't realise that and honestly thought it was him who screwed up, or- more likely- he was annoyed with how [[SmugSnake smugly certain]] Kronsteen was being and made an example of him for the crime of [[TheDreaded not fearing the boss enough]].
249	* DirtyCoward: While Kronsteen [[JerkassHasAPoint is correct]] that Klebb's man Grant was the reason the plan failed, he had no proof or actual knowledge that this was the case, so blaming Klebb comes across as little more than arrogance and Kronsteen trying to save his own neck at her expense.
250	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the movie, we're first introduced to him in the middle of a chess match. When he received the message from SPECTRE to report in at once, he very calmly disposes of the message, and then very calmly ''crushes'' his opponent with a single move. It demonstrates the reasons he's so dangerous: not only is he very smart, but he loves to toy with his opponents and have a little fun with them. When he's done screwing around, heads roll.
251	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Averted, actually; it's mentioned that he has a wife and children in the book, but his years as a merciless Soviet intelligence agent has left him unable to see them, or anyone, really, as anything other than pieces on a chessboard. Furthermore, depending on what he exactly meant by having to "put one of [his] children in hospital" as a cover for his being summoned away from a chess tournament in the book, it's possible he's willing to hurt his own family to protect his cover.
252	* EvilGenius: As SPECTRE's "director of planning", he's one of their top evil geniuses and charged with planning out criminal operations for them. In the movie specifically, he's shown as the mastermind behind the Lektor decoder plot.
253	* FatalFlaw: His arrogance and smugness bite him hard in the ass. When asked by Blofeld to defend his plan, he could with ease, but doesn't think it's necessary. Instead, he simply remarks, "Who is Bond, compared with Kronsteen?" That's a bunk answer and it lets Klebb off the hook. The competition wasn't between Bond and Kronsteen, it was between Bond and Grant. Kronsteen stupidly lets Klebb change the parameters of the argument and pays for it with his life.
254	* JerkassHasAPoint: Although he's blatantly trying to throw Klebb under the bus, Kronsteen isn't wrong when he suggests that it was the failure of Klebb's man Grant that led to the EvilPlan failing (of course, neither he nor Klebb or even Blofeld were aware of this).
255	* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Deconstructed, as his failure to obtain the facts about Q Branch and the fact that he wasn't prepared for Bond comes back to bite him dearly.
256	* NeverMyFault: Denies any responsibility in the failure of the plot to kill Bond and obtain the Lektor. In Kronsteen's defence, it was actually Grant's fault, but all any of them knew was that Grant had been killed while Bond escaped, so the trope still applies to an extent.
257	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: In the book, he's implied to have a dim view of non-Russian minorities within the Soviet Union. After beating his opponent Makharov, the Georgian chess champion, his first thought is that Makharov should go back to Georgia and stay there.
258	* {{Pride}}: This is his FatalFlaw and [[YouHaveFailedMe it costs him dearly]], when his plans to kill Bond and get the Lektor fail.
259	* RightForTheWrongReasons: Kronsteen's assumption that Grant bungled the job is at least partly accurate, but his conclusion is based on sheer arrogance, not actual evidence.
260	* SeriousBusiness: In the book, he endangers his life by ignoring a message from General G to meet at once, because he has to finish a chess tournament that would make him Grandmaster. He justifies his action by claiming security considerations — his fans are as dedicated to the 'People's Sport' as he is, and would realize he'd only forfeit the match if he was summoned by a powerful official.
261	* SmartPeoplePlayChess: A literal chessmaster in both the book and the film, ''and'' [=SPECTRE's=] chief [[TheChessmaster strategist]]. In the book, he's been Chess Champion of Moscow for two consecutive years, and upon winning his game is implied to become the future Grandmaster of Russian Chess. He loves the game and appreciates his fans so much that he defies a direct order to attend a SMERSH meeting to finish the match.
262	* SmugSnake: Excessively arrogant in the film, to the point where not even Klebb likes him. It's part of what gets him killed; rather than offer any kind of defense for his plan's failure, Kronsteen just insists it was perfect and tries to throw Klebb under the bus without any actual evidence to support it and expects Blofeld to take his side anyway (ironically, the mission failing was at least partly her fault, but no one present could have known that). As such, Blofeld has Kronsteen killed for both his failure and his arrogance, as well as making an example to motivate Klebb.
263	* TheStrategist: The brain behind the SPECTRE operation to get rid of Bond and acquire a Soviet coding machine.
264	* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Goes from being a member of SMERSH in the novel to SPECTRE in the film.
265	* UnderestimatingBadassery: Kronsteen wasn't prepared for Bond, and missing the facts about Q Branch, a part of [=MI6=] he didn't research, [[YouHaveFailedMe earns him a poisoned dagger in the leg]].
266	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: In the book, he's a famous Russian chess champion who's about to become Grandmaster and has enough admirers to rival any star athlete's, with his games being household talk, sports commentary and the source of great excitement all around the Soviet Union. He even has his own nickname, the [[RedBaron Wizard of Ice]].
267	* WickedCultured: A member of SMERSH in the book and SPECTRE in the movie, and a chess prodigy who is celebrated as a sporting hero and genius in the Soviet Union.
268	* WouldHurtAChild: Suggested in the book, depending on what he meant by having to "put a child into hospital" to support his story that one of his children had fallen gravely ill to force him to leave an important chess championship as quickly as he did, although all this is because he's mortally ''terrified'' of what the office might do to him simply for not leaving ''immediately'' (as opposed to staying long enough to finish the game) without one ''hell'' of an excuse.
269	* YouHaveFailedMe: Blofeld has him killed when his plan to assassinate Bond and obtain the Lektor fails.

272	[[folder:Red Grant]]
273	!!Donald "Red" Grant
274	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/redgrant.png]]
275	[[caption-width-right:300:''"You may know the right wines, but you're the one on your knees. How does it feel, old man?"'']]
276	!!! '''Played by:''' Creator/RobertShaw
277
278	Along with Oddjob, Baron Samedi and Jaws, he is one of the most iconic Bond villain henchmen. Grant is a tall, burly, blond SPECTRE agent (SMERSH in the books) and a sadistic, ruthless and psychotic killer. Grant's backstory in the movie and book are completely different but both effectively amount to: "''This is a horrible person you don't want to mess with''".
279	----
280	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He lacks the red-tinted skin that was a RedRightHand in the books.
281	* AdaptationalNameChange: His first name was changed from Donovan to Donald.
282	* AdaptationalWeaponSwap: In the novel, he killed people with a gun concealed in a copy of ''Literature/WarAndPeace''. In the film, he uses a wristwatch containing a garrotte wire.
283	* AloneWithThePsycho: Again, one of the only times Bond is totally gotten the drop on by an enemy.
284	* BadassNormal: Unlike later notable Bond henchmen, he doesn't have any fancy gimmicks or superhuman attributes. Unlike GiantMook guys like Hans or Kriegler, he's not even noticeably larger than Bond either (in fact, Robert Shaw was shorter than Sean Connery). He's just a ruthless, extremely efficient covert operative, [[EvilCounterpart just like Bond himself]].
285	* BerserkButton: The one time he loses his cool is following Bond's "lunatic asylum" insult. His reaction is to slap Bond across the face.
286	* BondVillainStupidity: Robert Shaw's chilling, brilliant performance obscures the fact that Grant may be the single most JustForFun/{{egregious}} example in the entire series. For once, [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim shooting Bond]] is the actual plan, but Grant manages to muck it up with an inexcusable bout of EvilGloating and JustBetweenYouAndMe. Further, after revealing to Bond that he's going to kill him and Tatiana and make it look like Bond committed murder-suicide, Grant [[EvilGloating gloats]], "The first one [bullet] won't kill you. Not the second. Not even the third. Not till you crawl over here and kiss my foot!" Of course, if Grant had succeeded in doing this, with four or more bullets in Bond's dead body, it wouldn't look like a suicide. {{Justified\|Trope}} in that its mentioned he used to be in an insane asylum--beneath his seemingly professional exterior, [[AxCrazy he's just a homicidal lunatic]]. Also, Blofeld explicitly mentions that he wants Bond's death particularly humiliating and painful which fits Grant's methods in the scene pretty solidly so he might just be following orders.
287	* TheBrute: He's tall, sturdy enough to withstand a brass knuckle to the chest, and serves as an assassin for SPECTRE.
288	* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: During the fight in the Gypsy camp, he snipes a knife-wielding Bulgar who rushed Bond from behind, as it doesn't suit SPECTRE's plan to have Bond dead at that point.
289	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the novel, Bond shoots him. In the film, he strangles him with his own garotte wire.
290	* TheDragon: He's the one Rosa Klebb selects to carry out SPECTRE's plan in the movie.
291	* DrinkBasedCharacterization: He orders a Chianti with his grilled soul, albeit red instead of white. This tips Bond off that he's an imposter.
292	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He is introduced hunting down and killing a fake James Bond in a training exercise, demonstrating his cunning and brutality.
293	* EvilCounterpart: To Bond. Both are highly skilled operatives who loyally serve a shadowy organization, equally skilled in combat and make good use of gadgets; Grant has a watch concealing a garrote and Bond has the suitcase, among others.
294	* EvilGloating: Lampshaded:
295	-->I don't mind talking. I get a kick out of watching the ''great'' James Bond find out what a bloody fool he's been making of himself.
296	* FatalFlaw: His greed proves to be this in the film. For all the BondVillainStupidity mentioned elsewhere, none of it would actually have mattered if Bond hadn't been able to dupe him into trying to steal the fifty gold sovereigns (little more than $1000 in 2019 terms) from one of the two field equipment briefcases, which causes him to unwittingly activate a tear gas cartridge that gives Bond the opening he needs to take it down.
297	* FauxAffablyEvil: Still gregariously refers to Bond as "old man" after outing himself as an agent of SPECTRE.
298	* GadgetWatches: He kills people with a garotte concealed in his wristwatch.
299	* GeniusBruiser: He's quite the ManipulativeBastard.
300	** Sets up the entire Krilencu subplot by killing a Russian agent's driver, knowing that Krilencu would try to bomb Kerim's office.
301	** Follows Bond and Kerim to the gypsy camp, where he saves Bond's life from an attack from behind. This ensures that after Kerim kills Krilencu, Bond would return to his hotel, where he would meet Tanya. They would be filmed by Klebb.
302	** Ensures that Bond gets Tania's map by killing the Russian agent who gets his hands on it.
303	** Compromises the secrecy of Bond's escape by killing Kerim and Benz (a Russian security agent who follows Bond, Kerim and Tania onto the train and is overpowered by the former two), forcing Bond to send for another agent, whom he kills and impersonates (Captain Nash). Bond is entirely fooled until Grant has pulled a gun on him.
304	* {{Greed}}: Not above trying to take money from his targets. This proves to be his AchillesHeel in the film.
305	* GunsAkimbo: Of the "New York Reload" type. Grant carries at least two pistols, a Mauser [=C96=] and a Llama XVIII 25-caliber pistol in an ankle holster. The latter serves as [[PistolWhipping an effective bludgeon]] when he stuns Bond on the Orient Express via TapOnTheHead.
306	* TheHeavy: Red Grant is the primary operative charged with carrying out SPECTRE's plan and the main obstacle James Bond faces for most of the movie, driving [=SPECTRE=]'s actions from when Bond arrives in Istanbul to the Orient Express. After he was killed with about 20 minutes left in the film, the only obstacle left was the helicopter {{Mooks}}, while the boats were called in last-minute.
307	* HeroKiller: His task is to ''kill James Bond'', so we already know he's going to be dangerous. Grant kills agents on both sides of the Cold War left and right, but he cements his status as a HeroKiller when he kills Kerim on the Orient Express.
308	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Killed with his own garrote. This is ironic because the plan was to kill Bond with his own (Bond's) gun.
309	* IAmVeryBritish: While masquerading as Nash, he puts on a British accent and peppers his speech with stereotypical Briticisms in an attempt to maintain his cover. Lampshaded by Bond once he's caught on to the ruse.
310	-->'''James Bond:'''You won't be needing this, 'old man'
311	* ImpersonationGambit: He takes the place of Bond's Orient Express contact Captain Nash.
312	* ImposterForgotOneDetail: He pretends to be a British agent, but consumes red wine with fish, something a Brit would never do. He also says "cheero" instead of "cheerio", and "old man" instead of "old chap". Bond doesn't put two and two together until after Grant gets the drop on him, then curses himself for missing it.
313	* IKissYourFoot: He is enough of a psycho sadist that merely killing Bond wouldn't be enough, so he intends to force Bond to perform this trope on him:
314	-->The first shot won't kill you. Neither will the second, nor the third...not until you crawl over here and ''kiss my foot!''
315	* JustBetweenYouAndMe: While Bond actually works out SPECTRE's plan entirely by himself (once he's told it ''is'' SPECTRE, that is), Grant is perfectly happy to fill in the details for Bond while he has him cornered [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim at gunpoint]].
316	* KarmicDeath:
317	** Killed going for some gold coins.
318	** Also getting choked out by his own garrote.
319	* KneelBeforeZod: The first thing he does to James Bond when he captures him:
320	-->'''Grant:''' All right, now get up on your knees. Put your hands in your pockets. Keep them there.\
321	'''Bond:''' Red wine with fish. That should have told me something.\
322	'''Grant:''' You may know the right wines, but you're the one on your knees. How does it feel, old man?\
323	[...]\
324	'''Grant:''' The first one won't kill you. Not the second. Not even the third. Not till you crawl over here and you '''kiss my foot'''.
325	* LightIsNotGood: He's a blond henchman for [[NebulousEvilOrganization [=SPECTRE=]]]. Grant wound up as the first of several blond henchmen that Bond would fight throughout the rest of the series, such as [[Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice Hans]], [[Film/ForYourEyesOnly Eric Kriegler]], [[Film/TheLivingDaylights Necros]], and [[Film/TomorrowNeverDies Stamper]].
326	* MadeOfIron: Doesn't flinch when hit in the stomach by a pair of brass knuckles. This is a slight exaggeration from the book, where he doubles over slightly and stands upright again, looking pissed, from a blow that the narration notes would have left any normal man cringing helplessly on the floor. Averted when he actually fights Bond towards the end of the film; he and Bond trade blows on a fairly even basis, and he doesn't NoSell hits like later GiantMook henchmen like Odd Job, Jaws, Hans, Kriegler, or Mr. Hinx do (though he powers through Bond's attempt at a NeckSnap and quickly recovers from a double-handed chop to the throat).
327	* MasterActor: Impersonates a [=MI6=] agent (Captain Nash) by adopting an upper-class accent, as well as the man's hat and travelling case. Bond is entirely fooled until Grant has him at gunpoint. Downplayed in the book, where Bond is still fooled by the impersonation, but senses ''something'' is badly wrong.
328	* MrFanservice: Practically alone amongst male Bond villains, Grant is actually incredibly handsome and in excellent shape. He even gets a scene where he's wearing nothing but a towel (and not a very big one at that) during some downtime with his glistening physique on full display.
329	* PaperThinDisguise: His disguise as Captain Nash in the film is simply Nash's hat, briefcase, and an upper-class English accent. ''And it works. On Bond.'' In the book, it's a little more complicated, with a macintosh and suit and special tie, but it still works on Bond. It does somewhat help that Grant is actually originally English (one of the criteria requested by Kronsteen) and lacks any glaringly obvious red flags in terms of appearance.
330	* TheParanoiac: Described as a particularly murderous version of this.
331	* PsychoForHire: He's a homicidal paranoiac on the service of a criminal organization.
332	* TheQuietOne: Bordering on TheVoiceless. He does not speak for most of the movie, and when he finally does, it's to imitate someone he has just murdered.
333	** Ironically, once he starts talking for real in his last scene, he won't shut up.
334	* RazorFloss: His garrote, which is concealed in his watch. Bond uses this to strangle him to death.
335	* {{Sadist}}: As shown with the aforementioned "Kiss my foot!" line and, if you look closely, you can see a SlasherSmile on his face as he prepares to use his garrote on Bond.
336	* ShadowArchetype: Red Grant and Bond are both loyal agents, and are blunt instruments serving their respective organizations. Also, both are highly skilled, great physical combatants, and utilized gadgets in their respective arsenals. However, he is Bond without the moral restraint.
337	* SlasherSmile: He has one on his face as he prepares to use his garrote on Bond.
338	* SlippingAMickey: He puts chloral hydrate in Tatiana's drink.
339	* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Goes from being a member of SMERSH in the novel to SPECTRE in the film.
340	* UnbuiltTrope: Of the classic Bond henchman, he was mostly chosen for his strength and effectiveness as a killer with no attention payed to his sanity or control over his desires. This leads him to try and kill Bond in a way that would ruin the plan and to make a mistake that allows Bond to kill him. Also, while he's shown to be extremely fit and physically disciplined, he's not overwhelmingly physically superior to Bond or MadeOfIron to the ludicrous degree of later major henchmen.
341	* UrExample: He's the earliest example of the classic Bond henchman in the films being a big, quiet, strong, and having a unique weapon, unlike later examples he does talk though only really at the end.
342	* VillainBall: He could have easily shot Bond at any point, killed Tatiana, made it look like a murder suicide and carried out the plan without a problem. Instead he chose to gloat and be greedy, letting Bond trick him. Even if he hadn't, his initial plan of shooting Bond until Bond kissed his feet would have probably put the plans in serious danger. This is what you get when you hire a semi-intelligent sadistic psychopath to be your primary assassin, KGB.
343	* VillainousRescue: He shoots a knife-wielding Bulgar who charges up behind Bond.
344	-->'''Grant:''' I've been your guardian angel. Saved your life at the Gypsy camp.
345	* WickedPretentious: Grant's lack of knowledge about wine is one of the hints about his true nature that Bond kicks himself for missing.
346	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He states this to Bond on the train. The only reason SPECTRE kept Bond alive up to that point was for him to get the Lektor, and with it within their grasp, Bond and Tatiana are now expendable (That and the fact that the half the point of the mission was to kill Bond in a way that would embarrass [=MI6=], which Grant was now set up to do). Unfortunately for SPECTRE, things don't go as planned.

Just as Vida appears to gain the upper hand and prepares to bludgeon Zora with a wine bottle, the fight is interrupted by Krilencu and his men, who intend to kill Ali Kerim Bey. During the battle that follows, James Bond saves the chief's life, who in gratitude concedes Bond's wish to prevent the fight between the two from continuing, and delivers the decision to him, sending both women to Bond for the rest of the night. The next day, they say goodbye to Bond without the audience knowing of his decision.
416	----
417	* AdaptationalModesty: In the novel, it's stated that the fighting gypsy girls ripped each clothes off until being completely naked. This would never have passed the censors in 1963, so they were given (scant) clothing that remains through the fight.
418	* CatFight: They famously engage in one to settle their dispute over the hand of the Gypsy camp chief's son.
419	* FanserviceExtra: They are minor characters, and their appearance (i.e. their CatFight) is simply for fanservice purposes.
