History: James Bond was born of an English-American father, Andrew Bond of New York City, and an African-American mother, Monique Delacroix, from Baton Rouge. His father being a global account manager for a leading defense contractor, his early education, from which he inherited a first-class command of French and German, was entirely abroad. 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 in Syracuse, 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. He 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 a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. Sadly, Bond lost his one surviving close relative, his aunt Charmain Bond, a few weeks after graduation.

While at the Naval Academy, Bond decided to become a ground intelligence officer. After The Basic School, he went on to the Navy and Marine Corps Intelligence Training Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia. There, Bond was trained as a human source intelligence officer. Afterwards, he was assigned as a platoon commander to the 2nd Intelligence Battalion at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Eventually, Bond was elevated to the position of company executive officer. Soon after being promoted to Captain, he returned to the the Navy and Marine Corps Intelligence Training Center and attended the Marine Air-Ground Task Force Intelligence Officer Course. Upon completing the course, Bond was assigned to 3rd Battalion 6th Marines as the battalion intelligence officer. He was later assigned as an intelligence watch officer to the National Military Joint Intelligence Center at The Pentagon. Eventually, his exemplary work caught the attention of a high-level official with the Defense Intelligence Agency who believed he would be perfect for a newly-established and highly unconventional clandestine services organization. In short order, Bond was recruited into an ultra-secret black ops agency called the Optimum Operations Section.

Under the cover of being "Transworld Consortium," an obscure private advisory 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 mandated to identify and eliminate threats to America by extraordinary means. Concerned with the increased public scrutiny of the the U.S. intelligence community and the resulting red tape, the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies had been impeded in doing their job to the fullest. So, the OO Section was set up as a covert agency independent of the official U.S. government national security apparatus and therefore unhampered by the bureaucratic chain of command.

Enhanced with specialized gadgetry, it marks a return to classical methods of deep-cover unilateral espionage operations. Instead of relying on foreign human intelligence assets or filtering the world through satellites and antennas, its operatives physically infiltrate dangerous and sensitive enemy locations to collect the required intelligence by whatever means necessary. In other words, they go back to the nitty-gritty world of spies risking their lives in covert and clandestine field operations and undercover assignments.

Since the OO Section has no provable ties to the U.S. government, its personnel are authorized to operate outside of the law. They are given carte blanche to do whatever is required to fulfill a mission and can use any means they deem necessary to protect U.S. national security. For example, its field officers (known as "OO agents") 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. However, if a OO agent were to ever be captured or killed, the U.S. government would completely disavow any involvement in their actions.

Soon after accepting the position with the OO Section, Bond was honorably discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps after eight years of distinguished service. He then underwent an intensive operational training course to train him in so-called "operational intelligence" or "tradecraft" espionage skills. Afterwards, Bond was given the cover legend of a Transworld Consortium risk analyst whose job is to travel the world and assess business risks for the firm's clients.

After being given the code number "OO7", he was tasked with killing two people. The first was a cryptologist in London who had cracked an NSA 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 OO Section director (known as "M"), 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, 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 Group 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 Optimum Operations Section's premier field operative and one of the most extraordinary secret agents employed by the U.S. government.
