[[caption-width-right:207:''"Mr. Bond, these orders come from the highest possible authority."'']]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/GemmaArterton

Fields is a MI6 agent who works at the British consulate in Bolivia. She is tasked to force Bond to return to the UK immediately; nonetheless, Bond soon seduces her before they attend a party Greene holds that night. There, she helps Bond escape by causing Elvis to fall down the stairs.

[[folder:Camille]]

Camille is a Bolivian former agent of Russian descent who is seeking revenge for the murder of her family (her father was Medrano's political opponent). She first meets Bond in Haiti where she has her own agenda in killing Medrano, due to the fact that he killed her family when she was only a little girl (he shot her father in the head, then raped her mother and older sister before strangling them to death). She seduced Dominic Greene as a way to get to Medrano, but it didn't work. At first she clashes with Bond, but soon begins to realize he is the only one she can trust. They then team up and go after Greene and Medrano.

* {{Revenge}}[=/=]YouKilledMyFather: She wants revenge against General Medrano for killing Camille's whole family.

* DiabolicalMastermind: As a member of Quantum, he has all the resources to be a bonafide supervillain, though he's a more toned down version to emphasize the hidden and secret nature of the film's contemporary villains.

* NonActionBigBad: He has no fighting skills, and it shows dramatically in the final fight. All he can do against Bond is mere ConfusionFu. While he [[NotSoHarmlessVillain momentarily succeeds to incapacitate Bond]], it ends with a [[AgonyOfTheFeet very painful]] result for him. He is, however, the only BigBad of the Daniel Craig-Bond era to even fight 007. Silva, Oberhauser, even Le Chiffre, might be more physically imposing, but Greene not only is the only one to get into combat, but thanks to the InterestingSituationalDuel aspect of the fight, hold his own against Bond.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Pay attention to his fight with Camille. ''He is kicking her ass.''

->Played by: '''Jesper Christensen'''

Bond captured him at the end of ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006''. He manages to escape his interrogation by M in Siena. He is later seen attending a Quantum meeting set in the middle of a representation of ''Theatre/{{Tosca}}'' at the festival of Bregenz, Austria.

* ActionGirl

Camille is a Bolivian agent of Russian descent who is seeking revenge for the murder of her family (her father was Medrano's political opponent). She first meets Bond in Haiti where she has her own agenda in killing Medrano, due to the fact that he killed her family when she was only a little girl (he shot her father in the head, then raped her mother and older sister before strangling them to death). She seduced Dominic Greene as a way to get to Medrano, but it didn't work. At first she clashes with Bond, but soon begins to realize he is the only one she can trust. They then team up and go after Greene and Medrano.

* DrivenToSuicide: [[In ''Film/{{SPECTRE}}'']]

Director Marc Forster rejected any EvilIsHammy traits for the character to emphasise the hidden and secret nature of the film's contemporary villains.

%%* BestServedCold
%%* BrokenBird
%%* {{Brownface}}
%%* ConvenientlyAnOrphan
%%* DarkAndTroubledPast: And how.
* FireForgedFriends: With Bond.

* PrimalFear: Pyrophobia in her case. From her conversation with Bond, we learn that she got the burn mark on her upper back from the fire in her family's household that was caused by Medrano, it is likely the source of her pyrophobia. Also notable is the fact that she and bond are more comrades in arms/friends
%%* {{Revenge}}
* YouKilledMyFather: She wants revenge against General Medrano for killing Camille's whole family.

* GirlOfTheWeek: Deconstructed. Since she shows that Bond's cold manipulation of the people around him can actually ruin or end their lives.

* OhCrap: Just have a look at her face (picture). This is when she [[AwfulTruth realizes that she has been made a fool]] of by Yusef.

%%* BiggerBad

** KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler: He's the first main Bond antagonist to die this way. The last time he's seen in the movie is when Bond dumps him in the middle of the Bolivian Desert with a can of motor oil (Bond states that since Greene failed his mission and then ratted out Quantum, they'd be looking for him, but he SHOULD be hard to find out there). At the close of the movie, M informs Bond that Greene was found dead there, with two bullet holes in his head and the oil in his stomach.]]

Bond captured him at the end of ''Film/CasinoRoyale''. He manages to escape his interrogation by M in Siena. He is later seen attending a Quantum meeting set in the middle of a representation of ''Theatre/{{Tosca}}'' at the festival of Bregenz, Austria.

* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler: In ''Quantum'', he is apparently [[NotQuiteDead killed]] and his body is left in Bond's trunk for the police to 'find'. In ''Film/CasinoRoyale'', this same method was used by Mathis to get Le Chiffre's ally out of the picture.]]

Vesper Lynd's Algerian lover, who secretly works for Quantum. He seduces high-ranking women with valuable connections, getting them to give up government assets as ransom for himself in fake kidnappings where he is supposedly held hostage. He was believed to be dead at the end of ''Film/CasinoRoyale''. Bond confronts him in Kazan (Russia) at the end of ''Quantum of Solace'', and opts to capture him alive to be interrogated by the MI6 instead of killing him out of revenge for Vesper's death. His fate is unknown after that point.

* EvilAllAlong: He was said to have been kidnapped and killed by Quantum in ''Film/CasinoRoyale''. Turns out he faked both and worked for Quantum all along.
