Characters specific to ''Film/CasinoRoyale''. For those in the entire [[Film/JamesBond film franchise]], see [[Characters/JamesBond here]].

----
!'''Vesper Lynd'''
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Vesper_Eva_3244.jpg]]
->Played by: '''Creator/EvaGreen'''

Vesper Lynd is a treasury agent who is tasked to accompany Bond to the poker tournament at Casino Royale, posing as his wife. Bond and Vesper eventually fall in love in the aftermath of the mission and Bond is prepared to leave the service for her. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, it turns out that Vesper is being blackmailed into helping the BiggerBad behind Le Chiffre (Quantum in the film, SMERSH in the original novel) into betraying her country, and she subsequently commits suicide (directly in the novel, and by not allowing Bond to rescue her from drowning in the film).]] Vesper is the very first Bond Girl to appear in the novels, and she is arguably Bond's love of his life in the Craig continuity. [[spoiler: Her death impacts Bond severely and defines his later relationships with women in the novels, and revenge for her death is the driving focus of ''Film/QuantumOfSolace''.]]

%%* AfraidOfBlood
* AlwaysVSexy: Vesper, and the fact that it's Eva Green playing her.
%%* BrainyBrunette
* BreakTheCutie: She [[spoiler: has to play along with everything to steal Bond's money and rescue her kidnapped/dead boyfriend.]]
* CartwrightCurse: As expected in a Bond movie.
%%* DarkSecret
* DeadpanSnarker: A regular goldmine of sarcastic barbs.
* DistractedByTheSexy: What she is supposed to do to Bond's adversaries in the poker tournament. It actually winds up working more on Bond himself in practice.
%%* FemmeFatale
* [[GamblerGroupies Gambler Groupie]]: She is used by Bond as a strategic distraction for the other competitors during the card game.

* HeroicBSOD: She goes through one after seeing Obanno and his henchmen getting killed by Bond.
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler: For Bond in ''Film/QuantumOfSolace''.]]
* LoveInterestTraitor: [[spoiler: She has no choice however, and she doesn't want to harm Bond.]]
%%* TheMole
* MsFanservice: When she walks into the poker room in either dress, but especially the latter. When she revives Bond via MagicalDefibrillator, her cleavage, and there is a lot of it, is on full display.
* MeaningfulName: Vesper Lynd is a [[PunnyName pun]] on "West Berlin". Berlin was a city split down the middle during the UsefulNotes/ColdWar. [[spoiler:Vesper's loyalties are equally split]].
%%* RavenHairIvorySkin
* ShowSomeLeg: She wears a low-cut dress given by Bond to be a distraction during the card game.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: As revealed in ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'', her boyfriend was a Quantum agent who was using her to get information, then faked his own kidnapping to force her to betray her country.]]

----
!'''Le Chiffre'''
[[quoteright:241:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lechiffreCR_6988.jpg]]
->Played by: '''Creator/MadsMikkelsen'''

The main villain of the film. He is a banker for terrorist funds who uses them in his own moneymaking schemes (wherein he short sells massive shares of a company's stock, then stages terrorist attacks on said company's major assets to drive them into bankruptcy). After one goes disastrously wrong due to Bond's interference, he is forced to hold the poker tournament at Casino Royale to hastily win back the losses.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the original novel, Le Chiffre is described as an overweight, unattractive man. In the film, however, he's trim and handsome. Note that Mads Mikkelsen has been voted "Denmark's sexiest man" multiple times.
* AdaptationalBadass: This Le Chiffre is ''far'' more dangerous than his counterpart in the [[Film/CasinoRoyale1967 1967 film]]
* BadassInANiceSuit: Le Chiffre always wears all-black. His tuxedo shirt is also this color.
* BoomHeadshot: When Mr. White kills him.
%%* TheChessmaster

* DarkIsEvil: He has dark hair and dresses entirely in black.
%%* DiabolicalMastermind
* DragonInChief: Works for Mr. White, who is {{the man behind the man}}.
%%* EvilGenius
* EyeScream: Implied. He has scars near his left eye, which weeps blood during moments of stress, suggesting that he sustained an eye injury in the past.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's calm, collected, and polite, even when torturing Bond for the password to the winnings, but loses it when he realizes that Bond has no intention of giving him said information.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has small scars near his left eye.
%%* TheHeavy
%%* HollywoodNerd
* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: Obanno threatens to mutilate his girlfriend Valenka if he doesn't secure his money. Le Chiffre doesn't do much about it, though it's never explicitly stated whether this is because he doesn't care, is just too cowardly, or is calling Obanno's bluff.
%%* KarmicDeath
* MeaningfulName: Le Chiffre means "The Number" in French. In the novel, it was an alias deliberately chosen by the villain (real name never provided) because he was nothing more than a "number" to the displaced persons bureaucracy.
* ObviouslyEvil: If the [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience all black suit]] and his bearing and demeanor wasn't enough, he tells his [[TheDragon second-in-command]] to throw the guests he had just beaten in poker overboard if they weren't gone in five minutes.
* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: Everyone refers to him as Le Chiffre ("the number") instead of using his birth name.
* ProfessionalGambler: He's a skilled card player. A major plot event is when he arranges a high-stakes card game in order to secure $100 million he lost in an investment gone wrong.
* RedRightHand: He weeps blood from his left eye when stressed. It gets lampshaded.
-->'''Le Chiffre:''' Weeping blood comes merely from a derangement of the tear duct. [[BlatantLies Nothing sinister]].
* SmugSnake: A rather creepy version of this trope.
* TheStateless: His nationality is indicated as such on his MI6 file.
* TearsOfBlood: Blood comes from his left eye during moments of stress. Nothing sinister, though.
* TortureTechnician: Knows a very simple and [[GroinAttack very painful]] way to interrogate someone.
* VillainsWantMercy: One of the interesting things about him is that, despite him being the film's BigBad, the plot largely revolves around he himself being in financial trouble with some other evil organizations and desperately trying to save his own ass.
* VillainousBreakdown: He's very calm until Bond refuses to give him what he wants while torturing him.
* VillainousCheekbones: He's played by Mads Mikkelsen. Enough said.
* WealthyYachtOwner: First seen playing poker aboard a yacht.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Mr. White kills him for his failures and untrustworthiness.

->Played by: '''Malcolm Sinclair'''

Dryden appears in the DeliberatelyMonochrome prologue of the film. He is a corrupt 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.

* BondOneLiner: He gets one in on Bond, [[ItWorksBetterWithBullets but it proved premature.]]
-->'''Dryden''': Shame. We barely got to know each other.
* CasualDangerDialogue: He's [[StiffUpperLip entirely too British]] to get upset by something as [[SarcasmMode mundane]] as a government assassin lying in wait in his office.
%%* DoubleAgent
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He'll sell state secrets to terrorists without batting an eye but keeps a framed photo of his family on his desk. This is one of the first indications that Craig's interpretation of Bond is a ''decidedly'' more morally ambiguous one.
* GenreBlindness: He assumes that if M wanted him dead, she'd have sent a Double O. Turns out M doesn't seem to consider him quite as important as he does, though she does send him the next best thing.
* HopeSpot: For a moment, he honestly thinks he has gotten the drop on Bond.
* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: Bond knows where Dryden keeps his gun and removed the bullets [[ForTheLulz evidently just to troll him.]]
* KilledMidSentence:
-->'''Dryden''': Made you feel it, did he? Well, you needn't worry. The second is -- [''BAMM'']
-->'''Bond''': [[BondOneLiner Yes. Considerably.]]

!'''Fisher'''

->Played by: '''Darwin Shaw'''

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.

* AllThereInTheManual: His name is not mentioned in the movie.
%%* {{Mook}}
* NotQuiteDead: Bond attempts to drown him in a sink. After several seconds of struggling, the man's body goes limp and crumples to the floor. Fisher is [[FakingTheDead feigning his death]] and as Bond turns to retrieve his pistol from the floor, the thug snatches his own weapon and takes aim. With lightening-fast reflexes, Bond turns and shoots first. Silhouetted against the white tiles and shot from the perspective of Fisher's gun barrel, this is shown on screen as a modified version of the traditional BondGunBarrel sequence and leads into the film's opening credits.

!'''Dryden'''
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dryden_malcolm_sinclair_-_profile_6848.jpg]]
->Played by: '''Malcolm Sinclair'''

Dryden appears in the DeliberatelyMonochrome prologue of the film. He is a corrupt 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.

* BondOneLiner: He gets one in on Bond, [[ItWorksBetterWithBullets but it proved premature.]]

* CasualDangerDialogue: He's [[StiffUpperLip entirely too British]] to get upset by something as [[SarcasmMode mundane]] as a government assassin lying in wait in his office.

!'''Fisher'''
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fisher_cr_7546.png]]
->Played by: '''Darwin Shaw'''

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.

* AllThereInTheManual: His name is not mentioned in the movie.
%%* {{Mook}}
* NotQuiteDead: Bond attempts to drown him in a sink. After several seconds of struggling, the man's body goes limp and crumples to the floor. Fisher is [[FakingTheDead feigning his death]] and as Bond turns to retrieve his pistol from the floor, the thug snatches his own weapon and takes aim. With lightening-fast reflexes, Bond turns and shoots first. Silhouetted against the white tiles and shot from the perspective of Fisher's gun barrel, this is shown on screen as a modified version of the traditional BondGunBarrel sequence and leads into the film's opening credits.
