M
(Bernard Lee, Robert Brown, Judi Dench)
The codename for the head of MI6, a post occupied by three people during Bond's service as a 00 agent. M reports directly to the Minister of Defence and the Prime Minister, and has carte blanche (within reason) to requisition whatever is needed for operations, up to and including entire submarines. The long-serving secretary to M is Miss Moneypenny.
1: Known in social circles as Sir Miles Messervey (sp?), a former Royal navy admiral who lives in a large country house and collects butterflies. He is a pipe smoker who since beginning his tenure as M has seen a 40% drop in 00 section casualties, even with Bond's habits for getting into trouble. Bond frequently annoys him (especially with his snobbery and tendency to show off his superior knowledge), but he still considers him to be MI6's best agent, having great respect for 007's instincts. He even covers up for Bond on several occasions, looking the other way when Bond enters Chinese airspace after Scaramanga and arranging it so that Bond can continue his mission to locate the stolen Moonraker space shuttle even after he has been ordered to take 007 off the case. M once went on an assignment in Tokyo with Bond, where he had an interesting experience with a woman (or women) that clearly embarrasses him. Although M is a great ally of Bond, ill-health eventually causes his retirement - he develops a liver condition which forces him to stop drinking alcohol. (DN, FRWL, GF, TB, YOLT, OHMSS, DAF, LALD, TMWTGG, TSWLM, MR)
2: Sir Miles's replacement as M is Admiral Hargreaves, one of the senior naval officers investigating the disappearance of HMS Ranger. A drinker of cognac, he is rather less tolerant of Bond's attitudes than his predecessor, but still grants 007 enough leeway to do things in his style. This tolerance runs out when Bond begins a vendetta against Franz Sanchez after his attack on Felix and Della Leiter instead of carrying out his next assignment - he goes to Florida to personally revoke Bond's licence to kill and take his weapon, responding to Bond's resignation with an outraged splutter of "We're not a country club, 007!" Despite being kicked in the stomach as Bond escapes, M still refuses to allow the other agents nearby to shoot him, on the grounds that there are too many people around - though the speed with which he accepts Bond back into the fold suggests that he was simply unwilling to lose Bond. (OP, AVTAK, TLD, LTK)
3: The third M is a woman, from a background of accounting and probability assessments rather than actual field work, who considers Bond to be a "sexist, mysogynist dinosaur, a relic of the Cold War" and is dismissive of his "boyish charms". She drinks bourbon rather than Admiral Hargreaves's cognac and has at least two children, telling Bill Tanner (who just called her the 'evil queen of numbers', unaware that she had just entered the room) that if she wants sarcasm, she'll talk to them. Although she is well aware that Bond doesn't approve of her methods, and possibly even her herself, she warns him that she has no compunctions about sending him to his death if it's necessary for a mission. Despite this, she does assure him that she would rather he come back alive. (GE, TND)

Macadams
(Peter Madden)
The Canadian finalist in the Venice chess championship. He is beaten by Kronsteen.

madvlad@mosu.comp.math.edu
Boris Grishenko's e-mail address. (GE)

Magda
(Kristina Wayborn)
Although she appears to be one of Kamal Khan's associates, Magda is actually working for Octopussy. She passes on the message to Khan at Sotherby's that General Orlov needs the genuine Coronation Egg back, and after Gobinda's methods of taking the egg from Bond in Delhi fail, she uses a more subtle approach. However, since Bond has had a bug implanted in the egg, this is exactly what he wants. She has an octopus tattoo on her back, to show where her true loyalties lie, and is an expert juggler, acrobat and pickpocket. (OP)

Maggots
Disgusting insect larvae used as part of an experiment by Wavekrest Marine Research to grow larger fish to feed the Third World, and also a hiding place for cocaine. (LTK)

Manta Ray
A large batwing-shaped fish. Bond uses a dead one as a cover to swim to the Wavekrest undetected. (LTK)

Manticore
A luxury yacht leased to a known corporate front for the Janus crime syndicate. Bond sees the vessel in Monaco, where it is acting as a temporary home for Xenia Onatopp in preparation for her hijacking of the Tiger helicopter. MI6's files on the Manticore show that it may be armed to military specifications. (GE)

Mantis
A small one-man submersible owned by Kristatos, which he despatches to the wreck of the St Georges to destroy Melina Havelock's Neptune sub - with her and Bond inside. Although the Neptune suffers severe damage from the Mantis's claws and drill, Bond manages to ram the smaller sub into the hole in the St George's hull, where it becomes entangled in the twisted metal and unable to free itself. (FYEO)

Manuel
(Brian Worth)
Manager of the Palacio Hotel in Estoril, Portugal, who knows Bond from past visits and is anxious to look out for his special needs. (OHMSS)

What is commonly known in the trade as a 'big red button', this one being located on the control console for Scaramanga's solar energy plant. It is at just the right height to be activated by carelessly placed buttocks. (TMWTGG)

Master Satellite Control Tape
An ordinary cassette tape, which in reality holds the data controlling Blofeld's laser satellite. It is disguised as a tape of brass band music, called 'World's Greatest Marches'. (DAF)

Masterson, Jill
(Shirley Eaton)
Goldfinger's accomplice in his cheating at cards, telling him his opponent's hand over a radio disguised as a hearing aid. He pays her well to be seen in his company ("Just seen," she assures Bond), and so pays the price for betrayal after being won over by Bond - Oddjob kills her by covering her body in gold paint, causing skin suffocation. (GF)

Masterson, Tilly
(Tania Mallet)
The sister of Jill, she pursues Goldfinger to Switzerland with the intention of killing him in revenge for her sibling's murder. Bond stops her assassination attempt, but in doing so sets off an alarm. Tilly is killed soon afterwards by Oddjob's razor-brimmed hat. (GF)

Matsu
Japanese island on the route between Kobe and Shanghai, where SPECTRE's secret base is located in an extinct volcano. (YOLT)

Materassy Sardadream
A Sardinian mattress company, one of whose twin-trailer lorries causes a potentially terminal hold-up for Bond on a winding coastal road. In the end, the rear trailer - and its feather-filled contents - are destroyed by a rocket-propelled bomb. The company is based in Sausari, and its phone number is 423391. (TSWLM)

Max
1: A Las Vegas gambler who loses all his money on the tables to impress Plenty O'Toole, and is then dismissed without even a peck on the cheek. (DAF)
2: Sir Timothy Havelock's parrot, who has beautiful plumage and a liking for pistachio nuts. He is also an excellent mimic, able to repeat anything said in his presence - which helps Bond learn where Kristatos is taking the ATAC. (FYEO)

Maxim
The first automatic machine gun, .303 calibre, bloodied in combat on the north-west frontier of Afghanistan in 1895 by the King's Royal Rifles, who wiped out a superior force with its help. Whitaker has a Maxim in his military museum. (TLD)

Maxwell
(Burt Metcalfe)
A CIA agent on duty at Circus Circus, codenamed 'Tight End', keeping tabs on Tiffany Case. He and his associate are spotted when Tiffany goes into a hall of mirrors, and she loses them by ducking out of an emergency exit when Zambora turns into a 'gorilla'. (DAF)

Maxwell, Paul
Official at the British consulate in Venice who helps Bond with his travelling arrangements. (FRWL)

May Day
(Grace Jones)
Max Zorin's bodyguard and lover, a product of the same Nazi experiments that created the psychotic tycoon - she has enormous physical strength, and is powerful enough to lift a grown man above her head. When not teaching Zorin how to kickbox, May Day is usually found wearing extraordinary outfits, murdering French detectives, CIA agents and British aristocrats, or parachuting from tall buildings. In bed, she always goes on top, as Bond discovers. Although she seems to have no compunctions about Zorin's plan to flood Silicon Valley (which will kill thousands), when she realises she's been betrayed after Zorin floods the Main Strike mine with her in it, she changes sides and helps Bond remove the detonator from the huge stack of explosives. Discovering that the mine cart on which they are trying to get the detonator from the mine has a faulty handbrake, she rides on the cart all the way to its destruction. (AVTAK)

McCarran International Airport
Serving Las Vegas, this airport is where Tiffany Case leaves the smuggled diamonds for safekeeping. (DAF)

Meat Locker
A cold room in the Monsoon Palace, where Bond hides from Kamal Khan's men. It also houses two guards whom Gobinda had just killed, in order to ensure their silence about the fake jewels they had put onto General Orlov's helicopter. Bond ended up locked in the cold room overnight. (OP)

Mehmet
(Nushet Ataer)
One of Kerim Bey's many sons, employed by him at Station T. (FRWL)

Metz, Professor Doctor
(Joseph Furst)
An employee of Tectronics, in charge of development of Blofeld's laser satellite. He is regarded as one of the world's greatest laser experts, and a committed idealist who realises far too late that Blofeld's aims for the laser satellite are far from altruistic. He is presumably killed when US forces destroy the rig. (DAF)

Metz's Aide
(Constantin de Goguel)
Metz's assistant and phone-answerer. (DAF)

Mexican Gun
A Q Branch dummy which looks like someone taking a siesta in poncho and sombrero, but actually pops apart to reveal a multi-barrel machine gun. (MR)

Miami Beach
Stopover for Bond after leaving Latin America, where he first encounters Auric Goldfinger. (GF)

Michelin
Manufacturers of the tyres on Sir Godfrey Tibbett's Rolls-Royce, which save Bond's life - not by superior roadholding, but by providing him with air after Zorin and May Day push the Rolls into a lake and wait for its occupants to drown. (AVTAK)

Micro Comparitor
A machine which Q uses to compare the microchip recovered by Bond from 003's body in Siberia to the one developed by Zorin Industries. The monitor for the machine is made by Philips. (AVTAK)

Microdot
Means of concealing information on another document, by reducing it photographically to a very small size. One was hidden on a document detailing the murder of an American tourist who had inadvertantly photographed the Ning Po near SPECTRE's volcano base. (YOLT)

Microfilm
A small cassette (made by Minolta) containing partial plans for Stromberg's submarine tracking system, held by Max Kalba, who surrenders it to Jaws in absolute terror at the mere sight of the killer. The incomplete plans were intended merely to whet the appetite of those bidding for it. (TSWLM)

Microfilm Reader
One of Bond's gadgets, disguised as a cigarette case and lighter. He uses this on the boat to Cairo to determine that Kalba's microfilm only contained part of the necessary information to duplicate Stromberg's submarine tracking system. (TSWLM)

Midge
(Cherry Gillespie)
One of Octopussy's numerous female associates at the Floating Palace. Midge is short, with long frizzy dark hair. (OP)

Miklos
A boatman working for Melina Havelock in Corfu. (FYEO)

Miklos, Rosika
(Julie T Wallace)
MI6's 'man' at the Trans-Siberian Pipeline station in Bratislava, who has worked with Bond before. She keeps the other attendant occupied with her ample charms while Bond gets Koskov into a capsule that will propel him down the pipeline. (TLD)

MiG-29
An advanced Russian fighter aircraft, built by Mikoyan-Gurevich. Three are despatched to investigate the distress call from Severnaya following General Ouromov's attack, but by the time they arrive the assailants are gone - instead, they receive the full force of the Goldeneye weapon, which destroys their control systems. Two of the MiGs crash into each other, and the third ploughs into the installation's radio dish. (GE)

Military Air Command
The Swiss military air traffic control, which despatches fighters to investigate Draco's unauthorised passage into controlled airspace. He persuades them to withdraw by telling them that he has numerous journalists aboard. (OHMSS)

Milk Bottles, Explosive
The weapon that Necros uses to devastate the MI6 safe house at Blayden while he goes after Koskov. (TLD)

Milk Float
The stolen Unigate vehicle that Necros uses to breach security at Blayden. (TLD)

Miller's Bridge
Site of an (unsuccessful) roadblock that tries to stop Bond and Kananga's men from chasing through the waterways of Louisiana. (LALD)

Milovy, Kara
(Maryam D'Abo)
A very talented Czechoslovakian cellist, and the girlfriend of General Georgi Koskov, who bought her a Stradivarius cello (using Brad Whitaker's money). She is used a pawn in Koskov and Whitaker's plans, being set up as a KGB sniper trying to prevent Koskov's defection, thus proving its validity - Kara is using blanks, but Koskov hopes that Bond will kill her, as she knows too much about his connections with Whitaker. However, Bond instantly spots that she doesn't know how to use a gun, and just grazes her by shooting her rifle from her hands. Once it becomes clear that Kara isn't in the KGB, Bond tries to find her, as she is the only lead MI6 has to locating Koskov. He poses as a friend of Koskov's and gradually gains her trust as he helps her escape from Czechoslovakia, but when she finally contacts Koskov again in Tangier, he tells her that Bond is a KGB agent, and she drugs him. However, she realises her mistake when Bond tells her that he was the man who was supposed to kill her in Czechoslovakia - though she would probably have guessed anyway when Koskov ordered her to be imprisoned in Afghanistan. She reveals an unexpected talent for violence at the airbase, booting one soldier in the head from her horse and punching out another when he tries to climb into her jeep, though she can't fly a plane worth a damn. Once Koskov and Whitaker have been dealt with, Bond and M make an arrangement with General Gogol that allows Kara to go on tour around the world with her cello. (TLD)

Mines, Magnetic
Small explosive devices that Bond attaches to fuel tanks in Trevelyan's Cuban base. They look rather like a Simon game, and aren't very subtle - they make beeping noises when armed, so it's lucky Bond's captors all appear to be deaf! (GE)

Mini Camera
A tiny camera the size of a cigarette lighter. Bond uses one to record the locations of Blofeld's 'angels of death' (OHMSS); another (with '007' on its front, the first '0' containing the lens, the second a tiny flash) to photograph the plans for Drax's nerve gas globes (MR)

Mini Missiles

A large grey government building on Whitehall, London, the home away from home of Sir Frederick Grey for several years. (FYEO)

Minolta
Japanese camera company, which also manufactures microfilm cassettes. (TSWLM)

Mint Julep
Drink enjoyed by Goldfinger, Bond and Pussy Galore at the former's Kentucky stud farm. Bond likes his drink made with sour mash, not too sweet. (GF)

Miramonte
Bond's hotel in Cortina. He stays in room 300. (FYEO)

Mirror
Surprisingly low-tech ruse used to end Bond's escape attempt from Goldfinger's Swiss factory. The reflection of Bond's own headlights makes him think he was heading for a collision, causing him to swerve and hit a wall. (GF)

Mischa
The codename for one of the two functional Goldeneye satellites. After the first, Petra, is used to eliminate any trace of the theft of the Goldeneye key from Severnaya, Trevelyan plans to fire Mischa at London - partly to get revenge on the country for betraying his family at the end of World War II, and partly to cover up the massive computer theft Boris has just carried out for him. However, while only Boris can disarm the weapon, Natalya knows how to alter its course, which she does, firing the satellite's retro-rockets and causing it to burn up harmlessly before firing. (GE)

Mishka
(David Meyer)
Brother of Grishka, and part of a knife-throwing double act in Octopussy's circus. The pair are also killers working for Kamal Khan and General Orlov, murdering 009 as he attempts to flee East Berlin with the fake Faberge egg he had stolen and trying to do much the same to Bond. Bond returns the favour by dropping a cannon barrel onto Mishka's head, dumping his corpse inside the cannon and stealing his clothes. (OP)

Mishkin, Defence Minister Dimitri
(Tcheky Karyo)
The Russian in charge of his nation's defence, and the man to whom General Ouromov reports. He dismisses Ouromov's 'theory' about Siberian separatists stealing the Goldeneye, and when Bond and Natalya Simyonova are captured, soon learns that it is Ouromov who is the traitor. He learns this too late to do anything about it, though - Ouromov kills first his bodyguard, then Mishkin himself, planning to blame Bond for the murders. (GE)

Missile Train
Alec Trevelyan's secret hideout, a former Soviet military mobile command and control centre from which he can now run the Janus syndicate. As well as an elegantly appointed stateroom for Trevelyan and worldwide communications links, the armoured train also contains a small helicopter in one of the carriages. This turns out to be useful for Trevelyan and Xenia, after Bond derails the train by parking his tank on the line. As Trevelyan leaves, he sets the train to self-destruct with Bond and Natalya Simyonova trapped inside. (GE)

Mistral
The type of homing missiles carried by the Tiger helicopter, which can be programmed to home on a radar target - or to lock onto a specific set of co-ordinates. When Trevelyan has finished with the helicopter, as well as Bond and Natalya Simyonova, said co-ordinates are centred on the Tiger's cockpit. (GE)

Misty
A horse that was the ancestor of one of Zorin's horses. He uses the horse's picture as a pretext for Bond to present his profile to a computerised identification system hidden in his office. (AVTAK)

MI6
The organisation for which James Bond works, MI standing for 'Ministry of Information' and the 6 being the department number. For years, MI6's existence was not officially acknowledged, as it operated under the cover name of Universal Exports. However, increasing media awareness (and the fact that MI6 constructed a huge new headquarters in Vauxhall on the south bank of the River Thames) eventually led to it becoming officially recognised. During the Cold War MI6 was concerned with espionage and threats to national security; after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it also works against international terrorism. The head of MI6 is known as M, who works in co-operation (not always close) with senior officials of the Ministry of Defence and Britain's armed forces. As well as having numerous Sections and Stations carrying out undercover work abroad, it is also home to Q Branch, which devises equipment and weaponry for field agents.

MI7
Department of the British Secret Service. M claims in Dr No to be the head of this department, but since all subsequent references have been to MI6, either it was merged with MI6 or M made a slip of the tongue. (DN)

MLO 973B
Registration number of Tilly Masterson's Ford Mustang. (GF)

Moet & Chandon
Scaramanga's brand of champagne. (TMWTGG)

Moneypenny, Miss
(Lois Maxwell, Caroline Bliss, Samantha Bond)
M's long-serving secretary, remaining constant in the post through several changes in staff at the top. She has long carried a torch for James Bond, but despite his constant promises she has never succeeded in catching him. Her feelings for him have helped save Bond's career and even life, though - she prevented him from making a rash decision to leave MI6 by changing his resignation letter into a request for a leave of absence, and located him while he was hunting for Sanchez so that Q could fly to Isthmus City and provide him with some useful equipment. She also saved Bond from considerable embarrassment (and a possible international incident) by keeping quiet about the fact that Bond had a missing Italian agent, Miss Caruso, stashed in his hall cupboard, just feet away from M.
Moneypenny claims to cook a wonderful angel cake, and was quite taken with the idea of being put across Bond's knee for a spanking. She has a makeup kit with a pop-up mirror hidden in one of her filing cabinets, and enjoys listening to Barry Manilow. The only time her efficiency at work is affected is when she's worried about Bond, which causes her to make typing errors, but her affection for him doesn't stop her from leading a life of her own - at the start of the Goldeneye crisis she is coming back from a date with a 'gentleman', to Bond's feigned dismay. She jokingly warns him that his actions towards her might be considered sexual harrassment, the price for which would be making good on his innuendoes. (DN, FRWL, GF, TB, YOLT, OHMSS, DAF, LALD, TMWTGG, TSWLM, MR, FYEO, OP, AVTAK, TLD, LTK, GE, TND)

Monorail
No villain's gleaming high-tech headquarters would be complete with one of these! (YOLT, LALD, TSWLM)

Stromberg's monorail goes one better than those of his villainous forebears - one of the cars can be shot from the side of the Liparus, jettisoning its outer shell en route to reveal a speedboat! (TSWLM)

Monosodium Glutimate
Chemical manufactured by Osato Chemical, which Bond, acting as Mr Fisher of Empire Chemicals, enquires about. (YOLT)

Moon Buggy 1
A prototype lunar rover equipped with grappling claws, being developed at Tectronics in Nevada. Bond steals it to escape from the guards and crashes it through the wall of the facility into the desert. The buggy is a true all-terrain vehicle - even though its wheels keep falling off, it still keeps going! (DAF)

Moonraker
The name for the space shuttles built by Drax Industries for NASA, and also of his own secret fleet of six ships. When one of his own shuttles developed a major fault during manufacture that could not be rectified in time for Drax's plan to be put into operation, he is forced to hijack one of the shuttles delivered to NASA. Two of his men are concealed aboard a shuttle that is being flown to Britain on loan; they start the engines mid-flight and take off, destroying the 747 carrying the shuttle. (MR)

Moonraker 1

Morgan's Reef
Jamaican island searched by Strangways and Quarrel for the source of the interference with American rockets. (DN)

Mortner, Dr Karl
(Willoughby Gray)
Maz Zorin's 'breeding consultant' - in more ways than one. Though he now concentrates his efforts on horses, Mortner's past as a Nazi scientist - his real name is Hans Glau - working on the Reich's selective breeding programme gave rise to both Max Zorin and May Day, though the use of steroids on pregnant prisoners in concentration camps. After the war, he was employed by the Russians to develop steroids for their athletes, and went with Zorin in his 'defection' to the West - in reality, a sleeper programme planned by the KGB. When he sees his greatest achievement - Zorin - plunge to his death from the Golden Gate Bridge, Mortner seeks revenge by hurling a stick of dynamite at Bond. Bond quickly severs the cable holding Zorin's airship to the bridge, causing the dynamite to fall back into the cabin, where it blows Mortner and the airship to bits. (AVTAK)

Morton, Charles
A manufacturer's representative from Leeds visiting East German furniture factories, and also Bond's cover when he goes into East Berlin after Octopussy and Kamal Khan. (OP)

Morzeny
(Walter Gotell)
One of SPECTRE's functionaries, in charge of training at SPECTRE Island, but also trusted enough by Blofeld to carry out the killing of those who have failed him - as he does to Kronsteen. Morzeny has a scar on his left cheek, and a poisoned spike in the toe of his boot.
Morzeny is sent by Klebb to intercept Bond's speedboat and take the Lektor, but he is killed when Bond dumps his leaking fuel drums into the water and sets them ablaze, Morzeny catching fire in the inferno as his boat explodes. (FRWL)

MOS Type
Classification of the two nuclear bombs carried aboard the Vulcan bomber hijacked by Angelo. (TB)

Mountain Grille
Italian restaurant in Jamaica suggested by Bond as a place for himself and Miss Taro to dine. (DN)

Mouton Rothschilde '55
An inappropriate wine Wint attempts to serve Bond at his 'last supper', tipping off 007 that all is not what it seems. He then interrogates Wint on his knowledge of fine wines - when the answer turns out to be wrong, he and Kidd try to bring the meal to an abrupt end. (DAF)

MP5
A machine gun made by Heckler and Koch of Germany, used by the SAS. The models they use in the exercise to defend Gibraltar have been modified to fire paintball pellets. (TLD)

Mud Bath
Part of the plastic surgery process intended to be performed on Blofeld's doubles. The temperature of the mud has to be precisely 80 degreeF. One of Blofeld's doubles is submerged and drowned in it. (DAF)

The Cairo establishment where Fekkesh was meant to meet Max Kalba, the club's owner, along with the bidders for the sumbarine tracking system, on Wednesday, August 3rd, at 9.40pm. (TSWLM)

Munger, Sir Donald
(Laurence Naismith)
A senior representative of De Beers, who briefs Bond on the current diamond smuggling crisis. Although stones are being stolen at an alarming rate, none of them have reached the market. Munger fears that either the stockpiler will flood the market and depress prices, or blackmail De Beers with the threat of doing so. (DAF)

Murphy, James
A DEA informant, who provided information about Sanchez - until his untimely demise. (LTK)

Murren
The Swiss alpine village at the foot of the peak housing Piz Gloria. (OHMSS)

Museum Guide
(Anne Lonnberg)
A guide at the Museum of Antique Glass in Venice. (MR)

Museum of Antique Glass
Part of the Drax-owned Venini Glass in Venice, the museum is home to some extremely valuable glass artefacts - until the fight between Bond and Chang smashes them all! (MR)

Music Box
A disguised two-way radio at the Peoples' Rest and Recuperation Centre used by Anya Amasova and her lover. (TSWLM)

M1
M's private submarine, complete with an office for the head of MI6 and another, with hatstand, for Miss Moneypenny. It was used to recover the 'corpse' of Bond from the sea off Hong Kong, and later to pick up 007 and Kissy Suzuki after they destroyed Blofeld's base. (YOLT)
