EspañolLIST OF JAMES BOND ALLIES
The following is a list of recurring and notable allies found throughout the James Bond films and novels.
M is Bond's superior in the Secret Service. The real name of the male M portrayed by Lee and Brown was Admiral Sir Miles Messervey, K.C.M.G.
★ Bernard Lee (1962–1979)
★ John Huston (1967): unofficial ''Casino Royale''
★ Robert Brown (1983–1989)
★ Edward Fox (1983): unofficial ''Never Say Never Again''
★ Judi Dench (1995–current)
Also, in the 1967 spoof ''Casino Royale'', Sir James Bond (David Niven) is promoted to the position of M.

★ Pamela Salem (1983): unofficial ''Never Say Never Again''
★ Caroline Bliss (1987–1989)
★ Samantha Bond (1995–2002)
The character of Moneypenny does not appear in the 2006 Bond film, ''Casino Royale''. Samantha Bond has claimed that she would not consider returning to the role, in any event—she has stated that she "doesn't believe Moneypenny should be older than Bond" , therefore if Moneypenny returns for the next Bond film it seems likely the role will be recast. Moneypenny's first name is not mentioned in any of the films, but is revealed in the 2005 book ''The Moneypenny Diaries'' as Jane.
Q is the Secret Service's resident inventor, who provides Bond with his life-saving (and life-taking) equipment.
★ Peter Burton (1962): ''Dr. No'' only (referred to as Major Boothroyd/Armourer)

★ Geoffrey Bayldon (1967): unofficial ''Casino Royale''
★ Alec McCowen (1983): unofficial ''Never Say Never Again'' (also referred to as Algernon)
★ John Cleese (1999–2002): first appearance in ''The World Is Not Enough'' referred to as "R". Became Q in ''Die Another Day''.
''Live and Let Die'' is the first Bond film in which the character Q is absent, although he is referenced in an early scene when Moneypenny gives Bond his only gadget, a specially modified Rolex Submariner with hyper-magnetic properties and a spinning bezel.
The character Q does not appear in the 2006 version of ''Casino Royale'', although Cleese, at the present time, remains the assigned actor for the role.
At one point in ''Die Another Day,'' Bond says to Q, “Thank you, quartermaster,” implying that Q may have been an abbreviation.
Felix Leiter is Bond's longtime friend and colleague. Originally a Central Intelligence Agency officer, in the films Leiter later becomes a member of the Drug Enforcement Administration; in the books he becomes a member of Pinkerton's and later goes into business for himself. In the reboot of James Bond, he goes back to the CIA.

In the end credits of the film, his first name is listed as Anatol. Gogol is played by Walter Gotell. Although with the KGB, Gogol often allies himself with Bond to stave off the possibility of war with the West, an ideal that is not always shared with his comrades. Only in ''For Your Eyes Only'' and ''A View to a Kill'' does Gogol act as an enemy, but even then his actions are benign. He particularly opposes the methods of the villain Max Zorin in ''A View to a Kill''. General Gogol also has a secretary, who is called Miss Rublevitch.
Main articles: Mary Goodnight
Mary Goodnight is Bond's second personal secretary. She first appears in the novel ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service'' and ''You Only Live Twice''.

Main articles: Bill Tanner
Bill Tanner is MI6's Chief of Staff. Tanner is a regular literary character from Fleming and Gardner's novels, as well as Amis' ''Colonel Sun'', but has never been considered a regular cinematic character. His biggest role in the films was in 1981's ''For Your Eyes Only'' in which after the death of Bernard Lee (M), Tanner was given a bigger role to substitute while M was "on leave."
In 1965, Kingsley Amis wrote the authorised spin-off ''The Book of Bond, or Every Man His Own 007'', a tongue-in-cheek guide to being a spy. The book is not credited to Amis, but rather to Lt.-Col. William "Bill" Tanner.

Played by Robbie Coltrane, Zukovsky makes two appearances in the films before being shot and mortally wounded by Elektra King in ''The World Is Not Enough''.

Main articles: Bill Tanner
Bill Tanner is MI6's Chief of Staff. Tanner is a regular literary character from Fleming and Gardner's novels, as well as Amis' ''Colonel Sun'', but has never been considered a regular cinematic character. His biggest role in the films was in 1981's ''For Your Eyes Only'' in which after the death of Bernard Lee (M), Tanner was given a bigger role to substitute while M was "on leave."
In 1965, Kingsley Amis wrote the authorised spin-off ''The Book of Bond, or Every Man His Own 007'', a tongue-in-cheek guide to being a spy. The book is not credited to Amis, but rather to Lt.-Col. William "Bill" Tanner.

Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky
Main articles: Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky
Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky is an ex-KGB agent turned Russian mafia head who runs a bar, a casino, and a caviar factory. When he was younger (and a KGB agent), a conflict with James Bond ended with Zukovsky having a limp; however, after leaving KGB, Zukovsky does not keep a grudge towards Bond, especially when dealing with Bond can mean profit. Played by Robbie Coltrane, Zukovsky makes two appearances in the films before being shot and mortally wounded by Elektra King in ''The World Is Not Enough''. He lives long enough after being shot to execute a trick shot using a gun hidden within his cane that allows Bond to escape King's trap. His first appearance was in ''GoldenEye''.

00-agents
The 00 Section of MI6 is considered the elite of the Secret Service. Agents with the 00 prefix have proven themselves capable enough in the field to be entrusted with the licence to kill — the authorisation to, at their own discretion, commit acts of assassination and other controversial activities in order to complete their missions, without having to seek permission from headquarters first.
