History Characters / GoldenEye

* FormerRegimePersonnel: According to Moneypenny, she was a fighter pilot for the Soviet Union back in the day. This is a HandWave as to how she's able to pilot the Tiger prototype. Well, sort of, since fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft are entire different beasts.

* TheImmodestOrgasm: ''And how''. Onatopp vocally expresses her sexual satisfaction to an insane degree.

* MessyHair: In the sauna. In the rest of the film, Onatopp is dressed and styled in a manner befitting someone higher up on the payroll of a criminal organisation, and actually appears quite classy, if obviously a villain.

* MurderousThighs: A notorious example. This results in [[spoiler:a KarmicDeath for her]].

* PunnyName: ''Xenia Onatopp'', pronounce it out loud.

* SexGoddess: The novelization actually describes her as a very satisfying lover and having enough stamina to have sex multiple times with Chuck Farrel, before she [[OutWithABang decided to kill him]].

* YouKilledMyFather: Deconstructed. Trevelyan's motive is revenge against the British government for betraying his parents. Bond calls him out on using this as a justification for his evil plan.

* AdaptationalSkimpiness: In the {{novelization}}, she's completely naked when Bond meets her in the steam room. Both her and Bond's nakedness are the subject of a joke from her after her defeat, Xenia asking if James would like to meet Janus ''with clothes on''.

* AxCrazy: She is a PsychoForHire for the Janus Syndicate who actually derives ''sexual pleasure'' from the act of killing. Her favourite murder method is asphyxiating men between her MurderousThighs while having sex, and she practically orgasms when gunning down unarmed technicians at the Severnaya facility.
* TheBaroness: Sexpot variant.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She does a good job of seeming harmless and fun-loving during the opening car race.
** This carries across to later scenes; in the casino she's quite pleasant - albeit smug - with Bond as she's winning, but quickly turns to cussing upon losing. Her mood also sours quickly when Bond brings up her car's counterfeit plates in the midst of flirting. Appearing later in the spa, she presents herself as somewhat innocent and merely interested in sex with Bond, but is soon biting him, kicking him around and crushing the air from his lungs.

* BondageIsBad: She is really into S&M. And crushing men's chests with her thighs.
* BottomlessMagazines: Exactly ''how long'' is she standing there machine gunning the programmers on a single magazine? How long can Bond fire an AK-74 before reloading?

* CombatSadomasochist: Xenia literally gets off on murdering people, as shown during the Severnaya massacre. It's enough to get an EyeTake from Ourumov himself. On the masochist side, she loves Bond hitting her in the sauna scene. She also seems rather excited by the idea that Bond is going to derail the train she's on.
* CovertPervert: A '''very''' dark example.

* DeadpanSnarker: Typically when she loses out to Bond, the key one being her refusal to let him have the last word after their confrontation in the sauna.

* DeathBySex: The perpetrator of it, in a [[OutWithABang literal]] intepretation.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: In sheer contrast with Bond's sexual encounters of the past, this is deliberately played with and averted. Onatopp's treatment of Bond in the sauna basically implies rape with her forcing sexual stimulation from an unwilling Bond in a very violent situation, and it's even treated as something Bond has to fight back against, and then it's totally played for laughs a scene or two later.
* TheDragon: For Ourumov and Trevelyan.

* [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Dropped a Bridge on Her]]: Downplayed but, [[spoiler: for all of her prominence in the movie, Xenia is yanked to her death less than a minute into her final fight with Bond, right as she seemed to have the upper hand.]]

* EvilCounterpart: Much like Trevelyan is meant to be a dark mirror image of Bond himself, Xenia can easily be read as a psychotic perversion of the traditional sultry Bond Girl.

* FemmeFatale: Fitting, as TheBaroness.

* MeaningfulName: "Xenia" means roughly "stranger" in Greek, and she certainly is strange..

* ModestyTowel: Invoked in the sauna with a robe in place, despite the nature of the scene; in the original script and novelisation of the scene, she actually has the towel, but loses it early on.

* MsFanservice: Big time, with her theme of InterplayOfSexAndViolence.

* TooKinkyToTorture: She seems to enjoy getting beaten up almost as much as killing people. Her fight scenes with Bond indicate that she wasn't going to stop fighting simply out of pain. Up until he burns her ass on a hot radiator. . . guess she was only into SOME types of pain, which is rather TruthInTelevision.

** Subverted. He has another Eye Take when Bond tells him that Trevelyan is a Lienz Cossack, and therefore the child of a traitor. [[HypocriticalHumor It's interesting that this shakes Ouromov]], as he already knows Trevelyan is a traitor to a former employer, and had planned to kill one of his colleagues while enacting his exit strategy. Not to mention Ourumov himself being a heinous traitor to his own government, and party to the massacre of his own subordinates. Perhaps he's still a Soviet at heart, and judges himself and others [[MoralMyopia based on that]] rather than some uniform standard of loyalty.

* ChewingTheScenery: When ''isn't'' he?

The following bulleted items are miscalleannous characters who are described on other character pages:

* HeKnowsTooMuch: Ourumov takes Bond's gun and shoots him dead right after Bond and Natalya Simonova make some revelations about Ourumov's activitiesn then intends to blame Bond and Natalya for it.

* ArtisticLicenseLinguistics: Neither "Xenia" nor "Onatopp" are names from UsefulNotes/{{Georgia|Europe}}, where Bond's remark on her accent suggests she's from.

* ArtisticLicensceLinguistics: Neither "Xenia" nor "Onatopp" are names from UsefulNotes/{{Georgia|Europe}}, where Bond's remark on her accent suggests she's from.

Perhaps he's still a Soviet at heart, and judges himself and others [[MoralMyopia based on that]] rather than some uniform standard of loyalty.

* BadBoss: He has no qualms about expending dozens of his own soldiers in the name of helping Trevelyan fake his death. At one point, he shoots one of his own men said soldier shoots a trolley Bond is using as a shield, as he previously told his men not to shoot at it because of the explosive barrels in it that could kill all of them. Then, at Severnaya, he has Xenia gun down an entire base of his own subordinates. Ourumov might well be one of the absolute ''worst'' people to work for in any Bond film all things considered.

* RenegadeRussian: Is working against the Russian government, but unusually for this trope, isn't actually trying to start a war.

A renegade 00 agent and the main villain of the film. Having come from a family of Lienz Cossacks who were betrayed by the British when attempting to defect from the USSR in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, Alec seeks revenge on all of England. Quite possibly Bond's most personal enemy in any of the films, having been his friend while serving in the [[UsefulNotes/SecretIntelligenceService MI6]].

** Some of the theme song's lyrics foreshadow his immense hatred of England for their past transgressions and a personal grudge with Bond for changing the bomb's timers during the Arkhangelsk mission (the other reason being that he hated 007's loyalty to Her Majesty, skills, and constant womanizing to cover up for their deaths).

* ItsAllAboutMe: Bond suggests this is Trevelyan's real reason to destroy England's economy. 006's revenge scheme will have global consequences for tens, perhaps hundreds of millions of people who have nothing to do with his parents being dead, but Alec doesn't care as long as he gets to settle his grudge and make some payday while he's at it.

* CanonForeigner: Like a good number of villains past the Roger Moore era, he did not exist in any of the books. He ''might'' be partially based on Hugo Drax of ''Literature/{{Moonraker}}'', who was also TwoFaced and wanted to blow up London to settle a grudge dating back to World War II.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Hands out to Bond left and right, mocking him on his preference to duty over friends, his FatalFlaw for women, and how [[FailureHero he frequently loses allies while on missions]].

* CatchPhrase: "For England, James?" Which starts to veer in a ArmorPiercingQuestion as the movie goes by.

* WeaponOfChoice: Trevelyan seems to favor either the Browning [=BDA=] and [=BDM=], double-action semi-automatic pistols based off the Browning Hi-Power.

* ArtisticLicenseLinguistics: Neither "Xenia" nor "Onatopp" are names from UsefulNotes/{{Georgia|Europe}}, where Bond's remark on her accent suggests she's from.

A Soviet colonel who Bond and Trevelyan face off with during their mission to blow up the Arkangel Chemical Weapons facility. Truth is, Ourumov is in league with Trevelyan, and works his way up to be the head of Russia's new Space Division after helping stage Trevelyan's defection. One of Trevelyan's two henchmen (the other being Xenia), he is the one who stole the control keys for the [=GoldenEye=] satellite and detonated the first of them over Severnaya. He meets his end when he murders Defense Minister Dmitri Mishkin and kidnaps Natalya, leading to Bond gunning him down on board a missile train.

* [[ArtisticLicenseMilitary Artistic Licence - Military]]: A few subtle relatively subtle examples. The branch of the armed forces of the Russian Federation Ourumov is the nominal head is probably the Missile and Space Defense Troops (''Войска ракетно-космической обороны''), or PKO, formed by a merger of more clandestine services of the Soviet Military Air Forces inherited by Independent Russia--as such, all of its heads wore air force uniforms (unlike Ourumov, who very clearly wears army uniforms). More obviously, Ourumov is a proper colonel in 1986, but after the demotion from his failure at the hands of Bond and return to service ("rehabilitation" by no less than Mikhail Gorbachev), is a colonel general ("three-star general" in American parlance)--effectively a three-rank promotion, something you wouldn't see even for a successful career office in less than a decade, much less a formerly disgraced one. Publicity photos show him wearing a lieutenant general's uniform (with two stars on his rank insignia), suggesting this is a wardrobe issue as much as anything.

* IndyPloy: The cover story he came up with when he shot Defense Minister Dimitri Mishkin with Bond's gun when the former realized Ourumov's treachery.
--> '''General Ourumov:''' Defense Minister Dimitri Mishkin... murdered by British agent James Bond.... himself shot while... trying to escape. Guards!

* SanitySlippage: Develops into a half-drunken, nervous wreck when his involvement with Trevelyan started to catch up with him, leading to him killing the Minister of Defense and a guard, then frame Bond for it.

!!Minister of Defense Dmitri Mishkin

The Russian Minister of Defense sometime after the fall of the Soviet Union, and General Ourumov's superior.

* BigBadFriend: Trevelyan was once Bond's partner and best friend, but after faking his death, becomes the BigBad of the film.

* CatchPhrase: "Boys with toys!", said not long after she encounters a man who's not exactly very serious and creates a conflict. Which happens a lot.

* FormerRegimePersonnel: According to M, she was a fighter pilot for the Soviet Union back in the day. This is a HandWave as to how she's able to pilot the Tiger prototype. Well, sort of, since fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft are entire different beasts.

* CatchPhrase: '''"I AM INVINCIBLE!"''' ...which [[TemptingFate leads immediately]] to his death the final time he says it, after he survives the destruction of Trevelyan's base, only to be frozen solid by bursting liquid nitrogen tanks.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Initially seems like just the workplace douchebag at Severnaya, but turns out to be a truly nasty little prick working for the BigBad all along.

* ManChild: He comes across as an adolescent who sees his hacking as mere games with no grasp of how it affects people. Natalya even calls him out on this.

* SmugSnake: He is not nearly as smart, charming or cunning as he thinks he is. This leads to his VillainousBreakdown when he realizes Natalya one-upped him by reprogramming the [=GoldenEye=] satellite to burn up in orbit AND deliberately changed the access codes to inhibit Boris's chance of correcting that program. It only gets worse when Bond ''manually'' sabotages the antenna to make it impossible to catch [=GoldenEye=] after he DOES break Natalya's code.

** She arguably also serves as one to Bond directly, reflecting elements of his character and habits he used to maintain taken to an extreme; she smokes cigars - Bond no longer smoked at this point - and shares the same favoured drink; her physical skill and ability also reflect Bond, and her violent sexuality - bordering on rape - reflects prior characterisation of Bond as being more forceful and coercive - even cruel and physically violent - to some of his Bond Girls.

* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Trevelyan nicknamed himself "Janus" as his right cheek is heavily scarred from the explosion, but the left side of his face does not have matching scars.

* SaveTheVillain: [[spoiler:Subverted. Bond saves him from falling ... and then lets him drop after a brief verbal exchange.]]
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: After outing himself as the villain, he holds a cynical belief of queen and country, and even asks Bond if he had any qualms killing people.

** Some of the lyrics in the theme song hint at his how he grew to despise England for their perceived past transgressions, as well as a personal hatred for Bond for changing the bomb's timers during the Arkhangelsk mission (the other reason being that he hated 007's loyalty to Her Majesty, skills, and constant womanizing to cover up for their deaths).

** It's ironic for him to mock 007 for being [=MI6=]'s "loyal terrier," when "mad little" Alec himself is still stuck in the past, considering his grudge against England involves settling a grudge that caused his parents to kill themselves of the shame of surviving Stalin's death squads at the end of WWII.

* StartOfDarkness: He describes how his parents' suicide out of the [[SurvivorGuilt shame of surviving]] the British betrayal and Stalin's death squads after WWII became the moment he decided he'll get his revenge against England. [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse However]], Bond points out that most of the people involved are too old or are already dead, and the people he's going to kill have nothing to do with it.

* WeCanRuleTogether: In addition to mocking Bond's womanizing nature, he also belittles Bond's loyalty to queen and country, stating that he even thought of including 007 to join in his scheme, but chose not to, aware that Bond would prioritize the mission over friendship.

** Some of the lyrics in the theme song hint at his how he grew to despise England for their perceived past transgressions, as well as personal hatred for Bond partly because he blamed Bond for changing the bomb's timers during the Arkhangelsk mission (the other reason being that he hated 007's loyalty to Her Majesty, skills, and constant womanizing to cover up for their deaths).

** Some of the lyrics in the theme song hint at his how he grew to despise England for their perceived past transgressions, as well as personal hatred for Bond (probably because he hated 007's loyalty to Her Majesty, skills and womanizing).

* FamousLastWords: "For England, James?"
