History Characters / JamesBondRecurringCharacters

* WeHavePeopleEverywhere: Says this to M as he's being interrogated, cueing Craig Mitchell to reveal himself as a traitor. M is ''livid'' this turns out to be NotHyperbole.

* RedRightHand: His height (Richard Kiel was 7'2) and steel teeth.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is also alternatively spelled as "Rublevich" and "Rublevitch".

* AllThereInTheManual: The novelization gives him a backstory. His real name is Zbigniew Krycsiwiki, born in Poland, the product of a union between the strong man of a travelling circus and the Chief Wardress at the Women’s Prison in Cracow. The relationship and subsequent marriage had been a stormy one and, when it broke up, the young Zbigniew stayed with his mother and attended school and subsequently university in Cracow. He grew to a prodigious height but in temperament he followed his father and was surly and uncooperative, given to sudden outbreaks of violent temper. Because of his size he commanded a place in the university basketball team, but he was sluggish of reaction and his lack of speed was constantly exposed by more skilful but less physically endowed players. After a failed attempt at a basketball career, Krycsiwiki was arrested by the secret police for having taken part in the (fictitious) "1972 bread riots". While he was imprisoned, the police "beat him with hollow steel clubs encased in thick leather" until they thought he was dead, leaving his jaw broken beyond repair. Krycsiwiki later escaped and stowed aboard one of Stromberg's vessels. Eventually he was caught, but instead of turning him in, Stromberg hired a prestigious doctor to create an artificial jaw. After 14 operations Krycsiwiki's jaw was restored using steel components that created two rows of terrifying razor-sharp teeth, although Jaws was left mute.

--> '''Bond:''' I admire your courage, Miss...?\\

* DamselInDistress: She's captured by Hinx from her clinic, and Bond rescues her. Later, Blofeld captures her again in London and Safin abducts her and [[spoiler: her daughter Mathilde]] in Norway. [[spoiler: However unlike before she is a DamselOutOfDistress instead and frees herself on time to see Bond and Mathilde again.]]

* DidNotGetTheGuy: [[spoiler: At the end of ''Film/NoTimeToDie'', she ends up permanently losing Bond when he sacrifices himself to save her and Mathilde. Though she decides to create a better life for Mathilde and tell her about her father.]]

* FinalGirl: [[spoiler: {{Downplayed}} because other supporting characters survived too, but Madeleine is the first Bond Girl to be this trope.]]

* GlamorousSingleMother: [[spoiler: She was pregnant when James cut ties with her. She gave birth to a daughter named Mathilde.]]

* IconicSequelCharacter: She doesn’t show up until the fourth (and second to last) film of Craig’s tenure, but she becomes his SecondLove and the [[spoiler: mother of his child]].
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Played with. She and Vesper Lynd are polar opposites in terms of looks (she's blonde and blue eyed in contrast to Vesper's dark hair), but they both have a DarkAndTroubledPast and are both forced to do something nefarious because of a threat to someone they love. The key difference is that Madeleine survives and would have lived happily ever after with Bond [[spoiler: had ''he'' not died.]]

* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler: In ''Casino Royale'', Mathis leaves the dead bodies of Steven Obanno and his bodyguard in Le Chiffre's ally's trunk to get him out of the picture by framing him. In ''Quantum of Solace'', he is apparently [[NotQuiteDead killed]] and his body is left in Bond's trunk for the police to "find" and frame Bond]].
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler: He dies in Bond's arms in ''Quantum of Solace'']].

* PunkInTheTrunk: In ''Casino Royale'', he places the dead bodies of Steven Obanno and his bodyguard in the police chief's car trunk to frame him. [[spoiler: This is turned against him in ''Quantum of Solace'', where he is beaten by the Bolivian police and placed in his own car trunk in order to frame Bond]].
* {{Retirony}}: A variation in ''Quantum of Solace''. He's retired already, and would have been fine if he ''stayed'' retired, but [[spoiler: agreeing to help Bond on one last job got him killed. Once he left his happy little villa (and hot girlfriend), you knew he wasn't going to get to go back to it]].
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Is killed in ''Quantum of Solace'' in a display of how far the connections of the bad guys reach]].
* ShipperOnDeck: Continuously hints at James and Vesper's attraction toward each other. When he and Bond meet again after [[spoiler: Vesper's death]], he assures Bond that Vesper did in fact love him, and urges him to forgive her for her betrayal [[spoiler: seconds before he succumbs to a gun wound.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Quite unexpected for a ''Bond'' villain. [[EnsembleDarkhorse The character proved to be very popular]] after the release of ''The Spy Who Loved Me''. That's why he didn't die in it, [[spoiler: finally turned to the good side and even found love in ''Moonraker''.]]

* CoolGuns: In ''Moonraker'', he is seen firing an Ingram MAC-10 with a barrel-extension rather than the standard silencer, as he chases James Bond in a speedboat.

** In ''The Spy Who Loved Me'': Having rubble fall over you? [[MadeOfIron Get back out]]. Being left in a ruin the desert? Walk back on foot. Being thrown out of a train or falling off a cliff? Walk away as if nothing happened. His eventual fight with Bond in the climax ends in a standstill. [[spoiler: Falling in a SharkPool? Kill the shark. Being left in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight? Swim for shore anyway.]]

* DragonTheirFeet: [[spoiler: Not only does he live longer than Stromberg to fight Bond, he doesn't ''die''.]]

* EvenMooksHaveLovedOnes: [[spoiler: Dolly in ''Moonraker'', a nameless female scientist in the novelization of said film. Listening to Drax's NewEraSpeech is what persuades him to HeelFaceTurn in both versions, but it's only explicitly because Dolly will have no place in Drax's new world in the movie -- in the novelization, Bond's thoughts indicate that it's ''Jaws'' who will have no place in Drax's world, due to being a "freakish mutate", and it's as likely the woman he rescues is just a scientist who appealed to Jaws when she realised he wasn't too dumb to realise not to get when the getting's good.]]

* EvilSoundsDeep: Subverted; his sole line of dialogue toward the end of ''Moonraker'' is spoken in an impressively deep voice, [[spoiler: but he had long undergone his HeelFaceTurn by that point]].

* GentleGiant: [[spoiler: After his HeelFaceTurn in ''Moonraker''.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: In ''Moonraker'', after realizing that Dolly will have no place in Drax's new world of "superior beings", Jaws turns against Drax.]]

** [[spoiler: In ''Moonraker'', Bond tricks Hugo Drax into [[EvilGloating talking about his plan]] to exterminate everybody who doesn't fit into his genetically perfect "master race" [[RightInFrontOfMe in front of Jaws]], who then sees his bespectacled, short, and somewhat plain looking girlfriend standing beside the supermodel-level women that make up the female half of Drax's group, making him turn against Drax.]]

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Novelization only - in stark contrast to the LoveRedeems angle of his defection in the movie, it's portrayed as Jaws abandoning [[spoiler: Drax]] after realising that a "freakish mutate" like himself would have no place in [[spoiler: Drax's]] Nazism-inspired "genetically perfect world". Likewise, though he does take a woman with him, Bond cynically notes that it's most likely a scientist who realised that Jaws wasn't TooDumbToLive and who played on her beauty to make him take her with him.

* ThrowTheDogABone: He get a lot of abuse in ''Moonraker'', but he not only does get a girlfriend out of it, but [[spoiler: he gets to live, unlike everyone else in Drax's employ, and unlike most henchmen who cross paths with 007.]]

* TheVoiceless: He's completely silent through the course of both films [[spoiler: until the climax of ''Moonraker''.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Jaws:''' Well, here's to us.]]

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: In ''Film/{{Spectre}}'', White commits suicide and it's portrayed very sympathetically]].

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: In his scene in ''Spectre'' with Bond, he displays a surprising amount of DissonantSerenity for a dying man, which could possibly double as CasualDangerDialogue given that he was poisoned by Spectre's agents. He does so without any hint of remorse, only regret that he got in with the wrong crowd and with the hope that Bond can protect his daughter.]]

* NebulousEvilOrganization: Quantum, the criminal organisation of which he's the liaison with Le Chiffre. [[spoiler: It's eventually revealed that Quantum is just one branch of Spectre]].

* PreMortemOneLiner: Before shooting [[spoiler: Le Chiffre in the head]].
--> '''Mr. White:''' [[spoiler: Money isn't as valuable to our organisation as knowing who to trust. ''*BANG*'']]

* VillainousRescue: [[spoiler: Saves Bond's and Vesper's lives when they are tortured by Le Chiffre.]] Unlike his book counterpart (who left them alive because there were no instructions to deal with them), he has a more {{pragmatic|villainy}} reason for this: [[spoiler:[[CantKillYouStillNeedYou he needed Bond alive]] for the password to his poker winnings, and Vesper to transfer the money to him.]]

--> '''Bond''': That's detente, comrade. You don't have it... I don't have it.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Dies after being shot by Elektra in ''The World Is Not Enough'', but not before using a LastBreathBullet to shoot out one of the manacles securing Bond to Elektra's torture chair and free him.]] However, a deleted scene showing [[spoiler: Dr.Molly Warmflash removing the bullet from him leaves his fate more ambiguous.]]

* RussianGuySuffersMost: Most notably in ''The World Is Not Enough'', when Elektra King destroys his cavier factory. [[spoiler: He's later killed in that film, too.]]

---> '''Sheriff J. W. Pepper:''' UH-UH! Spin around boy! Ten fingers on the fender!

---> '''Sheriff J. W. Pepper:''' Now, I know you! You're that secret agent! [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment That English secret agent from England!]]

* {{Eagleland}}: An oddly sympathetic portrayal of Type 2. He is a bit obnoxious, and not the extraordinary wetwork operative like Bond, but he is still in the same business as Bond and is competent at it. It goes with his "Stale Beer" contrast to Bond's "Martini" style.

* BusmansHoliday: Goes on vacation to Thailand only to get roped into another wacky adventure with Bond.

** In ''Live and Let Die'', he's about to subdue and arrest Adam, one of Kananga's major and dangerous henchmen, when Bond flying a boat overhead him helps Adam escape in the ensuing chaos and continue the chase. Subsequently, two of Pepper's colleagues arrive and share a joke at the Sheriff's expense. Then, noticing that he lacks the resources to keep up with Bond, J. W. attempts to enlist the help of his brother-in-law, Billy Bob – who apparently owns the fastest boat on the river. A boat which quickly falls into the hands of Adam, who speeds off to join the chase by water. ''Then'' en route to intercept Bond, Pepper and several of his squad cars are involved in a series of crashes, caused by Bond ''once again'' leaping the bank ahead of them. And after all that, he attempts to bring him into custody, only to be revealed Bond's identity and authority, much to his frustration.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: His use of the term "Black Russians" to describe Kananga's minions who are pursuing Bond in his boat isn't exactly racially sensitive. In addition, he refers to the people of Thailand as [[AllAsiansWearConicalStrawHats "pointy heads."]]

* CompositeCharacter: ''Film/NoTimeToDie'' makes her one of [[spoiler:Tracy, Bond's Second Love and Kissy Suzuki, the mother of his child in ''Literature/YouOnlyLiveTwice''.]]
