* NeverMyFault: He blames Bond for scarring his face, because Bond set the bombs planted in the chemical factory for three minutes instead of six. He omits the important detail that by the time Bond did that, he had faked his death, which is what made Bond shorten the timer. It's implied he thought that Bond would keep the timer the same no matter what apparently happened, and that in his perspective, cutting the timer in half [[DisappointedInYou had confirmed his suspicions that Bond cares more about getting the job done]]. This despite him telling Bond to "blow it all to hell."

** Likewise, he also has a personal grudge against Bond over his facial disfigurement, as Bond shortened the timer on the bombs they set and therefore didn't give Alec enough time to escape the blast unscathed. This despite the fact that Bond believed they were both about to be taken prisoner, and as he then watched what he thought was his friend being executed, had every reason to believe that Alec was already dead.

* EvilCounterpart: To Bond of course, and probably the most out of anyone in the series. Alec's character is the most similar to Bond, being a former 00 agent and matches him in physique, skill and spycraft. Out of all the villains in the series he's one of the few BigBads to match James Bond blow-for-blow, as shown in their brutal close quarters fight atop the dish array. Unlike Bond's loyalty to queen and country, his loyalty is only to himself. While both Bond and Trevelyan kill in cold blood, Bond usually kills only when necessary, but Alec is a straight up villain and will kill whomever he pleases. Sean Bean works so well because he's almost as perfect as James Bond as he is as James Bond's enemy. Along with Creator/PierceBrosnan, Bean was in fact one of the actors initially considered to replace Creator/RogerMoore before Creator/TimothyDalton took the role.
