* DiabolicalMastermind: C is in charge of a proposed merger of MI5 and [=MI6=], but [[spoiler:peddles his influence to Spectre for more power, which would further enable Blofeld to humiliate 007]].

* CoolGuns: Uses a double-barreled pistol. It's powerful enough to tear through an aircraft fuselage, as he demonstrates when opening fire on the plane Bond's using to chase him in Austria.

* CombatPragmatist: Hinx does not mess around when it comes to fighting. During his introduction, he challenges another member to fill the recently vacated position of Spectre's top hitman. Hinx doesn't give him the slightest chance to fight back; he just smashes the guy's head onto the tables, pokes out his eyes and then breaks his neck.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When we're first introduced to him, he bashes the skull of a fellow henchman who was supposed to substitute Marco Sciarra in the Spectre meeting, before [[EyePoke gouging his eyes]] and killing him with a NeckSnap. And noticing his hands covered in blood, grabs a handkerchief from his pocket to clean up a bit before taking his seat.

* EyePoke: In his EstablishingCharacterMoment, he [[EyeScream does this brutally]] to a fellow Spectre member that was supposed to substitute Sciarra's position in Rome, and later attempts to poke Bond's eyes when [[spoiler:they fight on the train out of Tangier]].

Head of the Joint Intelligence Service (the fusion of [=MI5=] and [=MI6=] after the events of ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'') who wants to get rid of the 00 section in favor of mass surveillance. He is nicknamed C by James.

* DisneyVillainDeath: Bond kicks him and the pilot off the helicopter, leading to their deaths.

* MinorCrimeRevealsMajorPlot: Sciarra's crimes in Mexico, while minor, not only reveals the ugly truth behind Spectre, but also [[spoiler:enables C's campaign to shut down the 00-agent program and hand the collective intel gathered by the world's major intelligence agencies to Blofeld.]]
* MinorMajorCharacter: Sciarra may have had limited screen time, but his death early on kicks off the film's plot.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: His death leads to Bond uncovering the AwfulTruth behind Spectre.

!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/MonicaBellucci

The widow of Spectre member Marco Sciarra.

* AdvertisedExtra: Has little screen time or much connection to the plot.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She acts frosty when meeting Bond, [[spoiler:but it doesn't much for Bond to defrost her.]]
* DrowningMySorrows: Upon returning to her villa, she quickly takes a drink knowing that her time is up.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: She accepts her imminent execution with resignation, but is narrowly saved thanks to Bond's intervention.
* LettingHerHairDown: Once she returns from her husband's funeral, she undoes her bun which reveals her long hair.
* MsFanservice: Considering the actress' age, she's 50 years old, the oldest woman Bond has ever seduced onscreen by far, and she can still rock a merrywidow-and-garters ensemble.
* RomancingTheWidow: [[spoiler:Bond doesn't let things like grief get in the way of his advances.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:After Bond presses her for information, he tells her to find Felix Leiter, where she'll purportedly be safe in the American embassy. That's the entire extent of her contribution to the plot.]]
* WidowsWeeds: She absolutely despised her husband but grieves at his death, not for his sake but hers - she's now a loose end to be cleaned up by Spectre. She wears all black, right down to her underwear.

!!Hannes Oberhauser
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hannesoberhauser.png]]
!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/ThomasKretschmann (photo)

An Austrian climbing and skiing instructor, he is the father of Franz Oberhauser and adopted Bond when he was an orphaned at a young age.

* CoolTeacher: Taught skiing and climbing to Bond when he was in his teens.
* DeadAllAlong: He's long dead before the events of ''Spectre'' take place.
* GoodParents: Hannes regarded an orphaned 007 as a second son, making him the GreaterScopeParagon to James.
* GoryDiscretionShot: While his death was done off-screen long before the events of ''Spectre'', the article also shows that Hannes was crushed to his death in the staged avalanche.
* GreaterScopeParagon: Became a ParentalSubstitute and mentor to a young 007, and 007 still holds him in high regards.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Hannes encouraged Franz to refer Bond as his younger brother, unaware that Franz hated this. After Bond moved out, Franz kills his own father in a staged avalanche out of pure malice.
* LikeASonToMe: After 007 lost his parents in a climbing accident, Hannes adopted him and began treating him like a second son. This causes Franz to committ {{Patricide}} [[DrivenByEnvy out of envy]], before faking his death and creating Spectre.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: If we're going by the newspaper article about Hannes' death, it's shown that he was very nice towards his neighbors and son. He's a stark contrast to Franz, who later became to be a totally violent and psychopathic monster.
* MentorArchetype: Bond still held him in high regards even after his death, and was visibly angered when Franz told him that he committed {{Patricide}}.
* MinorMajorCharacter: He taught climbing and skiing in Kitzbühel before taking temporary custody of the young James Bond following the death of his parents in a climbing accident.
* NiceGuy: Implied to be the case, as the newspaper article shows that he was nice to his family and neighbors, and a stark contrast to his son, who turned out to be sociopathic.
* ParentalFavoritism: Bitter about his father caring for Bond, Franz commits patricide out of nothing but a pure desire to be favored more than 007. This is also why Franz, now calling himself Ernst Blofeld, refers to Bond as a [[AnimalMetaphor "cuckoo hatching inside another bird's nest]]." It doesn't excuse Franz of his crimes, [[FreudianExcuse but it gives a good reason why]] he held [[ItsPersonal an enormous]] but totally IrrationalHatred of Bond. Franz blames 007 for creating a wedge between him and his father, but it was obviously the other way around.
* ParentalObliviousness: He had no clue that his son was plotting to kill him for showing ParentalFavoritism towards Bond.
* ParentalSubstitute: Adopted Bond after he lost his parents in a climbing accident. Bond regarded him as a substitute father.
* PlotBasedPhotographObfuscation: The photo Bond looks at early on in the film features him as a boy with the older Oberhauser and the face of the other boy has been burned away. This foreshadows the relationship between Bond and Franz, as Franz retains a whole copy of the photo.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: While Hannes was long dead, this also triggered the CainAndAbel relationship between Franz and James in later years.
* PosthumousCharacter: He was already dead by the time ''Spectre'' takes place, but his role formulated the CainAndAbel relationship between 007 and Blofeld in later years, and indirectly shaped the Creator/DanielCraig era.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: He was an Austrian climbing and skiing instructor in ''Literature/OctopussyAndTheLivingDaylights'', but is Bond's foster father prior to the events of ''Spectre''.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: While he's dead by the time ''Spectre'' takes place, it's shown that his death also indirectly shaped the events of ''Casino Royale'', ''Quantum of Solace'', and ''Skyfall''.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: The newspaper article about his death shows Blofeld sharing some of his father's facial features.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Unknowingly showing ParentalFavoritism towards Bond is what caused Franz to kill him out of jealousy by murdering him in a staged avalanche and become a DiabolicalMastermind.

!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/StephanieSigman

A Mexican woman Bond seduces in the course of his mission to track and kill Marco Sciarra in Mexico City. She accompanies him at the Día de Muertos parade.

* AdvertisedExtra: For all the talk that happened when Stephanie Sigman was cast by request of UsefulNotes/{{Mexico}}'s own government (among other concessions) in exchange for tax rebates on the production, the character has a grand total of one minute and a half screentime and exactly one line.
* AllThereInTheManual: The character and official Bond sites credit her as "Estrella", that's the only way to know her name.
* SpearCarrier: She appears alongside Bond, accompanies him though the Día de Muertos parade, they go into a hotel room, start kissing, then Bond leaves the room through the window just like that to find and kill Marco Sciarra. She has exactly one line, "Where are you going?".

* AdvertisedExtra: For all the talk that happened when Stephanie Sigman was cast by request of UsefulNotes/{{Mexico}}'s own government among others for tax rebates on the production, the character has a grand total of one minute and a half screentime and exactly one line.

* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:For a guy who's actively involved in shutting down [=MI6=] and sold himself out to Spectre to enhance his EvilPlan, and furthermore, is an ObstructiveBureaucrat to begin with, it's ironic that he calls M a "paper-pusher" when he ''himself'' is one once he's exposed for being the MoleInCharge within the British government.]]

* WidowsWeeds: Right down to her underwear. Fitting, as she's (ostensibly) grieving for her dead husband.
* WidowWoman: She absolutely despised her husband but grieves at his death, not for his sake but hers - she's now a loose end to be cleaned up by Spectre.

* WeaponOfChoice: A [[CoolGuns double-barreled pistol]]. It's powerful enough to tear through an aircraft fuselage, as he demonstrates when opening fire on the plane Bond's using to chase him in Austria.

* WalkingSpoiler: Like [[Film/TheLivingDaylights Georgi Koskov]], all those white spaces...

* LameLastWords:: [[spoiler: "...shit."]]

* PsychoticSmirk: Hinx's default expression unless he's mad. Mostly seen during Bond's attempt to flee the Spectre conference in Rome.

* SilentAntagonist: [[spoiler:His last words after he is attached to various steel barrels and is about to be thrown off the train are a simple "[[OhCrap Shit]]".]]
