History: James Bond is the son of Andrew Bond and Monique Delacroix Bond. His father was a senior accounting manager for General Dynamics originally from New York City, while his mother was originally from Yverdonm Canton de Vaud, Switzerland. When Bond was eleven years old, his parents died in a climbing accident in the Aiguilles Rouges above Chamonix in south-eastern France. After their deaths, he was homeschooled by his aunt and guardian, Charmain Bond of Saratoga Springs, New York.

From age 14 to 15, Bond attended Phillips Academy preparatory school until "trouble" with one of the maids. He then transferred to his father's alma mater, New York Military Academy. While there he won numerous athletic competitions and twice boxed for the school as a light weight. He also formed an intermural judo league. Throughout his teens, he spent time studying both climbing and skiing with local Austrian instructor Hannes Oberhauser during term breaks at NYMA. Bond's one strong relationship, this friendship ended when Oberhauser disappeared mysteriously. Bond considered Oberhauser a second father.

After graduating from New York Military Academy, Bond began attending the United States Naval Academy. While there, Bond excelled in all areas of training. Bond matriculated from his coursework at the Naval Academy with passable marks. However, whilst excelling at athletic competitions, strategic operations, and counter-intelligence courses, his unconventional approach to his education, his diffident attitude to some of his superiors, and a lack of respect for curfew drew him a few demerits. While at the Academy, Bond was a member of the intramural karate team. He graduated from the Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a commission as an Ensign in the United States Navy. Sadly, Bond lost his one surviving close relative, his aunt Charmain Bond, a few weeks after graduation. While at the Academy, he decided that he would become an intelligence officer. Soon after his commission, Bond began a five-month basic course of instruction at the Navy and Marine Corps Intelligence Training Center in Dam Neck, Virginia. After graduating from basic intelligence training, he was assigned to Electronic Attack Squadron 130 as an operational intelligence analyst. In that capacity, Bond deployed aboard the USS Harry S. Truman. Following his fleet tour, he was assigned to Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron TWO at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. Bond later served as an operational intelligence officer attached to SEAL Team 3. In that capacity, he served a deployment in Afghanistan.

With numerous commendations, Bond left the Navy after five years of service and immediately pursued employment with the Central Intelligence Agency. Before he could join the Agency, he had to go through a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation. Upon passing the entrance and psychological examinations, Bond was contacted by a CIA official who believed he would be perfect for a newly-established clandestine services organization. In short order, he was recruited into an ultra-secret agency called the Overseas Operations Section.

Under the cover of being an obscure private firm that assists U.S.-based companies in opening or expanding foreign operations and investing abroad, the OO Section is a covert operational and tactical unit operating largely independently but ultimately under the control of the CIA. Modeled after the UK's World War II-era Special Operations Executive, its mandate is to identify and eliminate threats to America by extraordinary means. Because the OO Section operates independent of the official U.S. national security apparatus, it is able to disregard many of the legal restrictions other agencies are required to adhere to. For example, its operatives are essentially entrusted with a license to kill -- the authorization to, at their own discretion, commit acts that might be otherwise considered murder in order to complete a mission, without having to seek permission from headquarters first.

After undergoing an intensive operational training course to train him in so-called "operational intelligence" or "tradecraft" espionage skills, Bond was given the code name "OO7" and the cover legend of a "security and integrity analyst" who travels the world assessing business risks for the OO Section's clients. For his first assignment as Agent OO7, he was tasked with killing two people. The first was in London – a cryptologist who had cracked a CIA code and was attempting to sell it to the highest bidder. The assignment was on the thirty-sixth floor of a skyscraper. Bond took a room on the fortieth floor of the next-door skyscraper where he could look across the street into his room and see him working. Then he and a fellow OO agent sat for several hours waiting for their chance. The other agent shot at the cryptologist a second before Bond. His job was only to blast a hole through the windows so that Bond could shoot the man through it. Bond did exactly that, shooting immediately after the other agent, through the hole he had made. Even though it was three hundred yards away, he got the cryptologist in the mouth as he turned to gape at the broken window. The other person Bond had to kill was a CIA analyst in Karachi who was selling secrets from within the agency. He'd managed to get two CIA officers captured and killed. For various reasons it had to be an absolutely silent job. Bond chose the bedroom of the traitor's apartment and stabbed him to death after a brief hand-to-hand fight.

On his next mission as Agent OO7, Bond and another OO agent named Carter worked cooperatively in an attempt to capture international bomb-maker, Molloka. At a mongoose/cobra fight in Madagascar, Bond and Carter conducted surveillance on Molloka but, due to a foolish mistake made by Carter, the suspected criminal realized he was being watched and attempted to escape. Bond pursued Molloka through the jungle, up an enormously high construction site and finally to the Zimbabwean Embassy. Bond broke into the embassy, fought off several soldiers and then captured Molloka. Outside of the embassy, Bond held a gun to Molloka's head while surrounded by a large number of soldiers. After an embassy official ordered him to hand over Molloka, Bond pushed him into the arms of the official. However, he them immediately shot Molloka and then a gas line outside the embassy. That caused an explosion and in the chaos of the aftermath, Bond escaped. The incident infuriated the director of the OO Section, as Bond had only been instructed to capture Molloka, but the criminal's cell phone led Bond to discover a terrorist plot to blow up a gigantic prototype Skyfleet airliner at Charles de Gaulle International Airport. Bond managed to stop the terrorists from succeeding and killed a man named Carlos, who had replaced Molloka as the criminal responsible for destroying the airliner.

Following this success, the OO Section director (known as "M") informed Bond that the mastermind of the incident was a man known as Le Chiffre, who served as private banker to terrorists and mobsters all over the world. Le Chiffre had been using his clients' money to short sell successful companies and then would engineer terrorist attacks to sink their stock values so he could make a fortune. When Bond foiled Le Chiffre's plan to destroy the Skyfleet, the banker was left with a major financial loss, since he had shorted the company's shares and bought put options on Skyfleet stock, which then expired worthless. Needing to recoup his clients' money, Le Chiffre had set up a high-stakes poker tournament at the Casino Royale in Montenegro. Hoping that a defeat would force Le Chiffre to aid the U.S. government in exchange for protection from his creditors, the OO Section entered Bond into the tournament. He was assisted in the mission by a OO Section logistics specialist named René Mathis and Vesper Lynd, a OO Section accountant. She was responsible for managing the mission's funds.

Bond went on to win the tournament and since then James Bond has distinguished himself as the Overseas Operations Section's premier field operative and one of the most extraordinary secret agents employed by the U.S. government.
