Commander James Bond is a member of MI6, the international arm of the British Secret Service, under which he holds the code number “007″. The ‘double-oh’ prefix indicates his discretionary licence to kill in the performance of his duties.

Fleming named James Bond after an ornithologist of the same name who had written Birds of the West Indies. Fleming, a keen birdwatcher, was in Jamaica with a copy of Bond’s field guide when he chose Bond’s name for the lead character of his first novel, Casino Royale in 1953. He later explained that the man’s name was “brief, unromantic, Anglo-Saxon, and yet very masculine… just what I needed.”

The look of James Bond is famed for being “suave and sophisticated.” In Casino Royale the character Vesper Lynd says of Bond, “He reminds me rather of Hoagy Carmichael, but there is something cold and ruthless.” Carmichael would later be the basis as James Bond for artist Mike Grell and his series of James Bond comic books, while the Hoagy Carmichael description would be repeated in later Bond stories written by John Gardner.
