parents died when he was eleven. They were killed in a climbing accident in the
Aiguilles Rouge above Chamonix. His father, Andrew Bond of Glencoe, Scotland,
was a foreign representative of the Vickers armaments firm. His mother, Monique
Delacroix, was Swiss. She attended to his early education and taught him to speak
German and French fluently. After their deaths, Bond was
sent to live with his aunt, Charmain Bond, in the quaintly named hamlet of Pett
Bottom. She prepared Bond for entry into public school and at age 12 he attended
Eton. After only two semesters the school requested Miss Bond to remove him. There
had been some trouble concerning one of the boy's maids. James then transferred
to Fettes, his fathers old school. By the time he graduated, at age 17, he had
gained a reputation on the school boxing team and had helped organize the first
judo class at an English public school. He went on to Cambridge, but left to join
the Royal Navy. He excelled in his training, becoming a
crack shot and an expert in self-defense. But he was not content. He would push
himself beyond the normal requirements of the service and always seemed bored
by the mundane aspects of navy life. His exemplary skills and psychiatric profile
were brought to the attention of Admiral Sir Miles Messervy (the former M), who
had Bond investigated. Sir Miles arranged for the then Ensign Bond to act as a
courier to East Berlin, ostensibly because of Bond's command of German. In reality,
MI6 was having trouble using that courier route. M hoped that Bond would be able
to root out the trouble. Bond went well beyond M's expectations and not only uncovered
the double agent but dispatched him efficiently. M then recruited Bond directly
in to the Investigation and Enforcement Branch, where he has proven his value
time and again. Bond's role with MI6 has changed somewhat
since the new M, Barbara Mawdsley, replaced the now retired Sir Miles Messervy.
The new M was somewhat reluctant to utilize Bond in the field. She found his methods,
while fitting for the Cold War, were not as effective in the new politically correct
bureaucracy. However, she has since come to realize that there are missions that
require brutal violence and that these are the missions in which 007 excels. |
