->'''M:''' ''[to James Bond]'' I see the good doctor has cleared you. Notes you have exceptional stamina.\\
'''Miss Moneypenny:''' I'm sure she was touched by his dedication... to the job in hand.

A [=MI6=] physician for agents. She diagnoses Bond with a dislocated collarbone and advises him to stay out of action. Not wanting to be taken off the active duty, Bond seduces her into clearing him as fit for duty.
----
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: M is savvy enough to guess what Bond did so that his physician gave him "a clean bill of health," and Dr. Warmflash lands in hot water.
* DoctorsOrders: Subverted. She certainly has the authority to keep Bond off active duty, but his silver tongue persuades her not to use it.
* HospitalHottie: A [=MI6=] physician who Bond seduces (and not for the first time) to get her to clear him for duty, provided he stays in close contact and shows sufficient stamina.
* MrExposition: She gives a briefing on Renard, explaining his cerebral damage and the FeelNoPain DisabilitySuperpower it gives him.

!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/DeniseRichards

An American nuclear physicist working in former USSR to dismantle nuclear warheads.
----
* ActionSurvivor: After her introduction, she's present in almost all of Bond's actions scenes, and manages to hang on pretty efficiently, all things considered.
* BrainyBrunette: She's dark haired and a brilliant physicist.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: She actually doesn't seem to mind the name "Christmas," but she's tired of all the jokes that come with it.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Even Elektra admires Christmas' beauty, calling her a "pretty thing".
* GirlOfTheWeek: The main Bond Girl of the film.
* ImprobableAge: Narrowly averted. Denise Richards was 28 at the time of filming, playing a scientist leading a nuclear research project. In real life she would have barely qualified as a doctor at such an age.
* MsFanservice: The tank tops and shorts are just the start; it's even used in-universe when she and Bond go to Zukovsky's caviar factory. Even Elektra admires her looks.
-->'''Elektra:''' Pretty thing! You've had her too?
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: Subverted: After Jones introduces herself to Bond at their first meeting as "Dr. Christmas Jones", she tells him that she doesn't want him to make any jokes about it, clearly referring to her name "Christmas", but Bond instead mentions that he doesn't "know any doctor jokes". Not that it stops him from making a Christmas joke eventually.
* NiceGirl: After an initial distrust of Bond, she is quite sympathetic for the rest of the film.
* PunnyName: Which lends itself to one of the most cringeworthy {{pun}}s in the franchise's history.
* TrueBlueFemininity: She wears a [[http://prop-replica.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/5/7/12574326/1408229_orig.jpg light blue dress]] when celebrating Christmas with Bond.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Christmas Jones doesn't want to hear any jokes about her name (and who could blame her, really?)

[[caption-width-right:300:''"There's no point living if you can't feel alive."'']]
!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/SophieMarceau

The daughter and heir of an oil magnate, she was once kidnapped for ransom by Renard. She is under the protection of [[UsefulNotes/SecretIntelligenceService MI6]] after her father's assassination.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Although he shoots her dead, Bond takes a moment to mourn for her before going off to stop Renard.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Turns out to be the true mastermind behind Renard, who is really carrying out ''her'' plan]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Gets in some snarky double-entendres to match Bond's.
* DamselOutOfDistress: [[spoiler:Elektra the kidnap victim seduced her captor, Renard, to the point that by the time of the film, is Renard who's having LimaSyndrome]].
* DecoyDamsel: It's a bait-and-switch: the reveal that Elektra [[spoiler:is not only a Bond girl but a villain]] is a great way of subverting audience expectations.
* DiabolicalMastermind: [[spoiler:A wealthy oil heiress who secretly orchestrates terrorist attacks in a covert bid to bolster her own profits.]]
* EroticAsphyxiation: [[spoiler:She enjoys torturing Bond with her neck-breaking chair]].
* {{Expy}}:
** [[spoiler:While not as blatant as Max Zorin in ''Film/AViewToAKill'', Elektra's plan to use Renard to nuke Istanbul in order to make her the sole transporter of Caspian oil to the west once again recalls the plot of ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}''. Interestingly, Elektra also has an ally capable of resisting pain with Renard, just like Goldfinger did with Oddjob, though Renard plays more of a key role in comparison.]]
** [[spoiler:She's also meant to invoke aspects of ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'', as the creators suggested that Bond believed he had found another ''Tracy'' in her, but his new beloved turned out to be a ''Blofeld'', to his horror.]]
* FatalFlaw: [[UnstoppableRage Wrath]] and {{Pride}}. Her Wrath is directed towards her father and M while her {{Pride}} is such that she believes that her beauty, wealth and power render her invincible, [[spoiler:to the extent that she believed Bond wouldn't be able to kill her even when he was pointing a gun at her and she had been torturing him just a few minutes ago]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:Ultimately what her focus is. For all of her complaints about her father's real or alleged misdeeds, disappointment at being "left" by M, and so on, she is completely remorseless towards anybody else's lives or well being.]]
* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:(To Renard) "Dive! Bond is..." (shot by Bond)]]
* KlingonPromotion: [[spoiler:To her own father, no less.]]
* LadyInRed: She wears a [[https://supposedlyfunblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/elektra-king-2.jpg red dress]] when visiting Zukovsky's casino.
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:Renard exists to make the audience believe ''he'' is the BigBad while we're meant to think Elektra is just a one-off love interest, with the major plot twist later being that Renard's actions are based on his services to Elektra's plan. The former point was [[invoked]][[WordOfGod confirmed by director Michael Apted]] when discussing a deleted scene involving Renard's introduction in the film]].
* ManipulativeBitch: [[spoiler:She plays M, Bond and the rest of [=MI6=] for fools, all the while pretending to be the innocent victim]].
* MeaningfulName: The name "Elektra" comes directly from Greek mythology, where Elektra is the princess of Argos. She plans to seek revenge for the murder of her father, king Agamemnon. There are some similarities between both Elektras in the first half of the film, [[spoiler:when the viewer still believes Elektra is the victim, not the villain.]]
* MoreThanMindControl: [[spoiler:Her time in captivity caused Elektra to become a victim of StockholmSyndrome; however, Elektra claims she always had it in for her father, believing that he stole her mother's oil reserves]].
* MsFanservice: Her scene with Bond in bed in which only her arm is (barely) covering her breasts (numerous takes were required for that scene because Sophie Marceau's nipples often showed, which is a big no-no if the filmmakers wish to retain a PG-13 rating. The final film still has one or two frames where they are visible.) [[spoiler:There's also when she's in bed with Renard, where despite her being covered in a blanket her entire profile can be seen completely uncovered.]]
* {{Narcissist}}: [[spoiler:She will stop at nothing to become a hyper-rich, successful and famous businesswoman, including nuking Istanbul, believes she is entitled to everything, considers herself to be irresistible and thus invincible and all-powerful, and is extremely vengeful.]]
* NeverASelfMadeWoman: {{Subverted|Trope}}. She may talk a lot about her father and becomes the owner of his oil company through heritage, but then it turns out that it was her mother's family that built up his wealth in the first place.
* NonActionBigBad: [[spoiler:Subverted. She never does any form of active combat herself, but she shoots Valentin Zukovsky when he storms into the room were Bond is tortured, and then kicks his machine gun away from him. What she did ''not'' know however, was that Zukovsky's cane could be turned into a single-shot gun in an emergency, which he used to shoot one of the restraints holding Bond's hands so he could escape from the torture chair]].
* {{Patricide}}: [[spoiler:Blows up her father to secure rights to his new pipeline]].
* PleaseKeepYourHatOn: While Renard has a gimmick scar, Elektra has [[spoiler:a grotesque disfigurement: [[RedRightHand She is missing her right ear lobe]]. Shrewdly, she conceals it behind an earring, symbolising Elektra's camouflage as a Bond girl instead of a Bond villain. Better yet, the wound was self-inflicted, as Renard refused to hurt her when she was held captive, as he had fallen in love with her]].
* PsychopathicWomanchild: [[spoiler:Just look at the positively girlish way that she runs to the window to see Renard arriving, flings herself into his arms when he enters, then leads him off to present the captive M to him as a gift]].
* ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful / ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: [[spoiler:Utterly convinced that no one will ever suspect her of wrongdoing, even in the case of blatant terrorism. The worst part is she isn't even wrong; she has to spell out for M that she's the one behind everything, and M is properly horrified.]]
* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:She orchestrates her father's death in revenge for not paying her ransom]].
* StartOfDarkness: [[spoiler:M's insistence on not negotiating with terrorists causes Elektra's father not to pay the ransom for her, pretty much letting Renard have his way with her. The result was erasure of any goodwill she might've had, inciting a plan that would destroy countless lives (both figurative and literal), and she is more than happy to take revenge on M in the process.]]
* TragicVillain: [[spoiler:She was kidnapped by Renard and held for ransom, which her father refused to pay on the advice of M. Being embittered by what she saw as her father's betrayal is what motivated her to join forces with Renard, falling in love with him in the process]].
* UnlimitedWardrobe: Justified given that Elektra's character is the heir of an oil magnate.
* TheVamp: She's really keen on having a relationship with Bond and guilt-tripping him, and the reveal that [[spoiler:she's the true BigBad of the film]] cements her as this, to the point that [[spoiler:she thinks that [[YouWouldntShootMe Bond wouldn't shoot her]]. She's wrong]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Well, with all those spoiler tags, she isn't likely to ''just'' be the GirlOfTheWeek, is she?
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Her reason for her acts is having been abandoned to her fate by her own father. And at the advice of M, the BigGood, no less. This did no wonders for her sanity.]]
* YoureNotMyFather: [[spoiler:Was deeply embittered by not just her father's actions during her kidnapping but also by his actions against the Azeri people from whom she and her mother were descended. She decided that for these reasons he had lost the right to live.]]
** Of course the fact that these actions were supported by the Azeri military in what they viewed as [[MundaneHorror thoroughly routine pipeline clearance actions]] and the fact that Istanbul contains one of the world's most sizable Azeri diasporas [[spoiler:who would have been wiped out indiscriminately in the nuclear meltdown]] [[MoralMyopia "conveniently" escape her mind.]]
* YouWouldntShootMe: [[spoiler:She says this to Bond, [[{{Pride}} saying that he'd miss her]]. Nope]].

!!Victor Zokas / Renard (the Anarchist)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/renard_1.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"A man tires of being executed."'']]
!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/RobertCarlyle

He is a (formerly) Soviet terrorist, Elektra's kidnapper and her father's killer. He has an almost superhuman invulnerability to the feeling of pain due to a bullet lodged in his brain from a failed assassination attempt on his life by MI-6 agent 009.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: When he learns of that [[spoiler:Elektra, who he loved, is dead]], he goes absolutely insane and starts screaming "LIAR!". Even Bond himself feels bad for Renard, as he says that he'll meet [[spoiler:Elektra]] after his death.
-->'''Bond:''' She's waiting for you!
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Even ''if'' that bullet in Renard's head could suppress his ability to feel pain (more than likely he'd be comatose), that does NOT simply grant him immunity from any damage. In the scene where he picks up the burning rock, his hand would still have had the skin burned off, just like Davidov (while Davidov's hand is totally bandaged in his next scene, Renard's hand remains unmarked for the rest of the film).
* BadBoss: Renard burns Davidov's hand with a burning rock just to show his inability to feel pain and kills Arkov after he wants him out of their scheme. He also shoots through his own men on a couple occasions.
* BaldOfEvil: He has one, and apparently almost ''every member'' of his terrorist ring also does.
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: [[spoiler:By the end of the film, Elektra only cares about money and power, which are the only things (she claims) her hated father ever cared about, and proves to be far, Far worse than he ever was.]]
* BombThrowingAnarchists: Renard is also known as "Renard the Anarchist", and it's stated that "his only goal is chaos." His career as a terrorist has been spent blowing things up ForTheEvulz. [[spoiler:And by the time of the movie, for love.]]
* BrokenBird: He completely loses it after Bond of [[spoiler:Elektra's death]]. He doesn't believe him but is still terrified that he might be telling the truth, hence the NoHoldsBarredBeatdown he subsequently subjects Bond to.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: His childhood was particularly traumatic as he was raised in poverty, often beaten by his drunkard mother and frequently ridiculed by his three half-sisters. He ran away from home at 14 and lived on the streets before joining the army.
* DeathSeeker: The bullet wound that left him impervious to pain will still kill him nonetheless, so Renard doesn't care about death.
-->'''Renard:''' You can't kill me. I'm ''already'' dead.
* DisabilitySuperpower: His bullet wound is [[FeelNoPain killing off his senses]] and will actually kill him eventually, but in the meantime it's effectively given him super-human stamina.
* DragonTheirFeet: [[spoiler:Elektra is killed before he is, leaving an angry and vengeful Renard to fight Bond one last time.]]
* TheDreaded: His mooks are ''terrified'' of him, Cigar Girl for instance opting for BetterToDieThanBeKilled rather than face his [[YouHaveFailedMe wrath]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Upon capturing Elektra at first and holding her for ransom, Renard never anticipated the fact that Elektra's father would refuse to pay the ransom to save Elektra on the advice of M; he even lampshades this after capturing M, holding her responsible for breaking Elektra's heart in the first place, something that even M conceded out of regret.
-->'''Renard:''' (to M) When I took her, she was promise itself, and [[WhatTheHellHero YOU left her at the mercy of a man like me]]! You ruined her.... for what, to get to me? She's worth 50 of me!\\
'''M:''' (regretfully) For once, I agree with you.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite his insane, ruthless and murderous nature, he really deeply loves [[spoiler:Elektra, to the point that he agreed to orchestrate a nuclear meltdown of Istanbul just to please her.]]
* {{Expy}}: His baldness and scar, on top of being a terrorist mastermind, bring to mind Blofeld. [[spoiler:The fact that he resembles a pastiche of a classic Bond villain was likely done to conceal Elektra's role as the real BigBad.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Before Bond launches the missile into his stomach, Renard seems to have accepted that Elektra is dead and calmly resigns himself to his fate in the hope that he will at least be together with her in Hell.
* FromCamouflageToCriminal: He joined the Soviet Army and worked for the KGB before becoming a freelance terrorist.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Bond tells Renard "she's [Elektra's] waiting for you!" just before he plunges an iron rod through his chest, and before he dies, Renard gives one more quick glance to Bond with a small, comforted smile.]]
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Renard has a big scar on his forehead from the entry wound of the bullet that's slowly killing him. He gains another one on his forehead after Bond pistol whips him at the nuclear testing facility, after Renard mocks Bond about Elektra.
* TheHeavy: He's the one carrying out the bombings on the oil pipelines and the one Bond is after for most of the movie. [[spoiler:After Elektra dies, he becomes the FinalBoss]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Gets impaled by the nuclear rod that he was using in his plan]].
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:He doesn't die from his head bullet. Instead, Bond replugs the reactor and flips a switch to shoot the plutonium rod he inserted out and into his torso. By then, however, the rod being in for only 30 seconds had sealed the sub's fate, and it took flooding to inhibit the explosion which otherwise would have destroyed the city]].
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Although he exhibits many [[BadBoss classic]] [[DeadpanSnarker Bond]] [[BlofeldPloy villain]] [[RedRightHand traits]], Renard is uniquely humanised in his interactions with [[spoiler:Elektra]]. He's motivated by love and happy to throw away his life for it, even if his feelings might not be fully reciprocated; rather than solely presenting his DisabilitySuperpower as a weapon, the film also shows Renard privately resenting it for having robbed him of touch, as he can't have a fulfilling sexual relationship with [[spoiler:Elektra]] anymore. Bond overcoming him feels less like a triumph and more like [[TragicVillain putting a broken man out of his misery]].
* LimaSyndrome: Renard [[spoiler:fell in love with Elektra while holding her captive]]. While his life until that point seems to have been in the nihilistic pursuit of chaos for its own sake, loving Elektra seemed to give his life new meaning so he used his talent for destruction to please her, to the point of being willing to give his own life to carry out her plan, though he was already dying and in his opinion, was already dead.
* MeaningfulName: "Renard" means [[CunningLikeAFox "Fox"]] in French.
* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: Averted. One of his mooks mentions that they had to rent the equipment they used for the skiing trip hit and are going to get in trouble since Bond blew it all up, suggesting Renard's resources and funding are realistically limited.
* PostRapeTaunt: When Bond holds him at gunpoint at the Russian ICBM base, Renard taunts Bond about his kidnapping of Elektra, gloating that he "broke [Elektra] in". The film never outright confirms that Renard raped Elektra, and he may have just been lying to make Bond angry, but it adds an even darker subtext to [[spoiler:Renard and Elektra's relationship]] if he's telling the truth.
* RedBaron: Is sometimes referred to as "Renard the Anarchist".
* RedRightHand: A bullet in his forehead that gives him superhuman endurance to pain. It also appears that as a result of the loss of his senses, the right side of Renard's face (the same side containing the bullet wound) has been stricken with Bell's Palsy, which has also caused noticeable Ptosis in the eye.
* SenselessSacrifice: He's fully committed to carrying out his plan to destroy Istanbul even after Bond tells him that Elektra is already dead, which otherwise renders his would-be victory completely meaningless. He insists that Bond is lying and carries on with the plan. May double as a case of TakingYouWithMe as he would not only kill Bond, but also deal a devastating blow to the West.
* ThrownFromTheZeppelin: His EvilGenius, Mikhail Arkov, wants out after Bond singlehandedly wipes out the armada of {{mooks}} Arkov had sent. Renard accepts Arkov's resignation with a round through the heart.
* TragicVillain: He genuinely felt [[spoiler:Elektra's death]] deeply.
* VillainHasAPoint: When Elektra captures M, the latter accuses Renard of turning Elektra to his side and ruining her. However, Renard coldly points out that M is really to blame as she told Elektra's father not to pay the ransom and instead leave her to her fate in the first place, the very same event that drove an embittered Elektra to side with Renard and initiate the plot to cause a meltdown, something that even M regretfully admitted.
* VillainousBreakdown: Crosses with NiceJobBreakingItHero. When Bond smugly tells Renard that [[spoiler:Elektra is dead]], he loses any sanity he had and starts pummeling 007, screaming, "Liar!" And he goes forward with inserting a plutonium rod into the core, which overloads its already radioactive contents.
* WesternTerrorists: A former KGB agent turned terrorist.

Valentin Zukovsky's traitorous gold-toothed bodyguard.
----
* BaldOfEvil: Well, actually a crew cut, but he's TheMole.
* BodyguardBetrayal: A seemingly loyal bodyguard to Valentin Zukovsky, Bullion actually was working for Elektra King, and tipped her off about Bond's location at the caviar factory.
* ConspicuousConsumption: Has a gold tooth. His actor is a gold-grill wearer in real life, by the way. Lampshaded by Bond:
-->'''Bond:''' I see you've put your money where your mouth is.
* DirtyCoward: During the Maiden's Tower assault in Istanbul, after seeing that Zukovsky is still alive, Bullion nervously tells him that he's glad to see him alive, to which Zukovsky responds "Me too!" and shoots him dead.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He is gunned down by the very man he tried to kill just earlier in the day.
* TheMole: Within Zukovsky's organization, for Elektra's.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: The {{novelization}} gives his name as Maurice Womasa.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Doesn't take part in any of the action himself, but he manages to trigger two assassination attempts against his boss and Bond, the latter of which nearly kills Zukovsky and leads to Bond's capture by Elektra.
* TheStoolPigeon: Even before his bomb attack, his true allegiance is revealed and the helicopter attack on Zukovsky's caviar factory occur when he rats Bond out to Renard and Elektra upon spotting his car.
* VillainousGoldTooth: He is Valentin Zukovsky's [[TheMole traitorous]] gold-toothed bodyguard. Though not a part of the action himself, he manages to trigger two assassination attempts against his boss and Bond.

A woman Bond meets in Bilbao, Spain, when he meets with the Swiss banker Lachaise to retrieve money belonging to Sir Robert King. At first seemingly just the deliverer of a DoubleEntendre, she turns out to be more than meets the eye.
----
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: She kills herself rather than face Renard's wrath (and possibly even [[spoiler:Elektra's]]) for her failure.
* DarkActionGirl: She gives the film a quite [[{{Pun}} explosive]] opening sequence.
* DoubleEntendre: She probably didn't intend it that way, but Bond, as always, jumped at the occasion in the following exchange:
-->'''Cigar Girl:''' ''[after handing Bond a receipt]'' Would you like to check my figures?\\
'''James Bond:''' Oh, I'm sure they're perfectly rounded.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: The novelization gives her the name Giuletta [[Creator/LeonardoDaVinci da Vinci]].
* NamedByTheAdaptation: The {{novelization}} gave her name as Giulietta da Vinci. Other related media eventually took to calling her "Giulietta the Cigar Girl" because of this.
* NoNameGiven: She goes unnamed in the film, "Cigar Girl" not even being an InSeriesNickname, but rather a name given in the closing credits because when she enters the office in which Bond and Lachaise have their meeting, she's carrying a box of cigars to offer to them.

!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/PatrickMalahide

A Swiss banker involved in a number of deals with terrorists and other international criminals. He acts as a middleman between MI-6 and the anarchist Renard as the latter attempts to return Sir Robert King's money.
----
* AssholeVictim: As a MorallyBankruptBanker who worked for criminals and terrorists; his death doesn't seem to attract sympathy in-universe or out.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: He smokes a cigar during his meeting with Bond, seemingly falling in the "characters who smoke cigars because they're rich and {{jerk|ass}}s" camp. Especially poignant given Brosnan's Bond's great dislike towards smoking[[note]]Except for the one cigar he smoked in ''Die Another Day''[[/note]] (he takes a cigar, but only to give it as a souvenir to Moneypenny).
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Killed by the Cigar Girl before he could give information to Bond.
* InTheBack: The Cigar Girl kills him by throwing a knife to the back of his neck.
* KilledMidSentence: Demands Bond's protection for the information he offers ''just'' as a [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice knife lodges itself in the back of his neck]].
* MorallyBankruptBanker: A banker who deals with terrorists and international criminals. He's {{Swiss|BankAccount}}, just to drive the point home.
* SwissBankAccount: Is said that the Swiss bank he worked for acted as a middleman between Sir Robert King and Renard on the purchase of a document that, unbeknownst to King, was stolen. Lampshaded by Bond when he meets with Lachaise:

[[caption-width-right:300:''"Be careful, M, I might try to steal him from you."'']]
!!!'''Played by:''' David Calder

A British oil tycoon and personal friend of M after they studied together at Oxford, and father of Elektra King.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Most of the non-novel versions of the story (such as the video games) solely focus on his legacy as an oil baron and concerned father that is an opponent of terrorism, so he comes across much better.
* AllThereInTheScript: In the script, it is explained in more detail how he inherited the oil fortune from his wife's family: Her father had no male heirs, so he left the property to his son-in-law.
* AltarDiplomacy: Implied; his wife's father was an oil baron from Azerbaijan with no male heirs that could inherit the business, and Sir King was a tycoon from the British gentry.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: How good or bad you view him as depends heavily on how much trust you give to Elektra's posthumous characterization of him. It is confirmed that he married into the oil fortune of Elektra's maternal grandfather, and that he was willing to bulldoze his way across the countryside (and quell local protests against that with armed force) but everything else is unconfirmed hearsay from his [[spoiler:thoroughly manipulative, violent]] daughter.
* AssholeVictim: He turned out to be kind of a {{Jerkass}}, all things considered. He was willing to destroy an ancient church in Azerbaijan--his wife's homeland, no less--for his oil pipeline (which caused the local villagers to riot), and he stole his wife's inheritance to further his own ambition and greed. Of course, [[UnreliableExpositor this is all assuming one believes Elektra]], and [[spoiler:by this point in the story she has been shown to be a thoroughly manipulative, violent woman.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: When he first appears, he is very polite and courteous and M describes him as an old friend. Later, it turns out his response to project difficulties was to [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney bulldoze through countless villages and landmarks]] while [[AppealToForce using the Azeri military to quell any opposition.]] On top of this, [[spoiler:Elektra]] claims that he was a CorruptCorporateExecutive who financially abused his family, [[spoiler:but that requires trusting [[ConsummateLiar Elektra]] [[ItsAllAboutMe King]]]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Implied, given that he authorized the construction of an oil pipeline that left many villages in its path at risk and was perfectly willing to call upon military force to keep the local population from interfering. M also mentioned how he was going use his own resources to rescue Elektra until she sends back a piece of her own ear to show how serious the ransom was.
* DeathByIrony: Elektra assassinates him with a booby-trapped briefcase full of money, meaning he dies showered in the only thing (she claims) he ever cared about.
* GoldDigger: A rare gender inversion with Sir Robert King and his Azeri wife; Robert married her to gain access to oil-rich lands near the Caspian Sea that her family owned. According to Elektra, her father was nothing before he married her mother. As a British man with a foreign wife, he was able to seize control of the assets which should've rightfully belonged to Elektra's mother, but the sexism and racism which existed at the time meant that she couldn't reclaim what her husband stole.
** Of course, [[UnreliableNarrator this relies upon taking Elektra at her word, which is always a dodgy thing.]] The script establishes that her father had no (male) heirs, and oil culture in general (especially in Azerbaijan) would have made transmitting it to a woman unlikely. As such the marriage (of a prominent British aristocrat to an heirless Azeri oil baron's daughter) is likely a case of NobilityMarriesMoney with King getting an in on the Azeri oil fields and Elektra's grandfather getting a meaning to continue the dynasty.
* HateSink: [[FreudianExcuse He's the reason why Elektra turned to evil in the first place]].... [[UnreliableNarrator assuming you believe her, of course]]. A CorruptCorporateExecutive, he used his British citizenship to con his immigrant wife out of her own company, emotionally and financially abused her and Elektra, bulldozed centuries-old landmarks to make room for oil pipelines, badly mistreated the people living around said pipelines, and rather than pay a ransom sent his own men and later [=MI6=] to kill her hostage taker and boyfriend. Elektra assassinates him with a booby-trapped briefcase full of money, meaning he dies showered in the only thing he ever cared about and the audience rejoices.
** A more charitable interpretation is that he was no saint but also not the monster his daughter paints him as. The only undeniable misdeeds he committed was the forced clearance of local people to make way for the oil pipelines, which is unethical but also terribly common in the Azeri oil industry (and elsewhere; Eminent Domain is a cruel mistress). It is routine to consult with law enforcement and intelligence before paying a ransom to a hostage taking terrorist, and many companies refuse to pay [[MortonsFork precisely that gives the hostage-takers more resources and the motivation to take more hostages.]] Likewise, his father-in-law was an Azeri oil baron who viewed himself as having no (male) heirs that could inherit his business and so would have found passing the business to his son-in-law (and whatever heirs he produced with his daughter) to be a legitimate way.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Only cared about his money, and was quite abusive to his wife and daughter, conning them out of the company which rightfully belonged to his wife. [[UnreliableNarrator Assuming you believe his daughter's narrative.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: He was abusive towards his wife and daughter, conning them out of the company which rightfully belonged to his wife, and instead of forking out a ransom when Elektra was kidnapped, he abandoned her. [[invoked]][[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Assuming you trust Elektra, which is probably a bad idea.]]
* PetTheDog: He showed, that he somewhat cares about his daughter, by asking M about help to save her from Renard. Also, it seems that he didn't pay for Renard only because M asked him not to do so.
* RichJerk: To locals in the way of his pipeline, who (correctly) viewed him as an out-of-touch, greedy foreigner who would bulldoze their cherished heritage in order to further his construction projects and who would sic the military on them for trying to oppose. Beyond that it gets murkier, with Elektria painting him as someone who only cared about his money, married only to gain access to oil rich lands in Central Asia, destroyed an ancient church (which caused the locals to riot) and abandoned his daughter to be kidnapped rather than paying off a ransom. [[AssholeVictim Which is when he's killed by Elektra, the audience rejoices.]] [[UnreliableNarrator Assuming you believe Elektra's justifications.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: His murder (On the orders of his own daughter) thrusts Elektra to the top of his company and puts her in a position to use her terrorist ties to monopolize its already powerful place as a leading oil tycoon.
