    Morton Slumber?

    Morton Slumber from DAF is the correct answer.

    1) You should have no trouble finding me.
    His name is on the outside of the building. Slumber Inc.

    2) I cast a long (fore)shadow(ing).
    We see his shadow before we see him enter the room.
    He casts a long shadow - i.e. he seems to be a person of power and influence.
    Lastly, the foreshadowing of him showing Bond the coffin entering the cremation chamber.

    3) We are all pretenders.
    Bond is pretending to be Peter Franks and that the real Peter Franks is his brother. Bond has fake diamonds. Slumber has fake money.

    4) The beginning of the end.
    "If we're ready to begin the final journey." As he is sending the casket into the cremation chamber.

    5) Struggling with memory loss? I've got just the thing for you!
    He sends Bond to the Garden of Remembrance to place the urn in the niche.

    6) You may have thought you saw me in Chicago.
    He looks a lot like Joe Maddon, manager of the Chicago Cubs. Moreso when Maddon was clean shaven.
    Also, David Bauer was born in Chicago.

    7) Chances are, you really don't ever want to meet me.
    It would mean someone that you care about has recently passed away.
    Plus, you might end up in a burning casket!

    8) I kept my cool until my last moment onscreen.
    He slams the casket shut.

    9) There's been a slight change in plans.
    They didn't get the real diamonds.

    10) My assistant gave Bond something that was important to us.
    The urn containing the (fake) diamonds.

    11) There's no shortage of memorable characters here.
    The three Slumber Inc. goons who drove Bond here. Wint and Kidd. Shady Tree. Quite a group.

    12) My fate remains unknown.
    Was he eliminated like the others in the pipeline?

    13) We almost did the impossible.
    Killed James Bond.

    14) I get the sense that you're ready to leave.
    To Bond - "At a time like this, I'm sure you'd rather be left alone, for reflection."

    15) Oh, the frustration of not completing my mission!
    He's visibly upset that they didn't get the diamonds.

    16) It would appear that communication is not our strong suit.
    No one told Wint and Kidd not to eliminate Shady Tree until it was too late. No cell phones in 1971.

    Good clues Pachazo. 'There's no shortage of memorable characters here' got me thinking of DAF.

    If folk want to take a break that's fine but I will put my first clues up for whenever people want to restart.

    1) I don't really live up to the hype
    2) one may perceive that I bat for the other side
    3) I'm not reprimanded by my boss - maybe he realises he's even more incompetent

    @Thrasos has it, congrats.

    I feared that would happen haha - need to make my clues more cryptic. I didn't even get to use my star clue 'what was the point of him'.

    over to you Thrasos.

    Thanks, Scaramanga12--good round! Perhaps it helped that I watched Thunderball about 3 weeks ago for the first time in a while, and it boosted my appreciation for that film.

    I'm just heading to work and will have the first clues for the next character up right after that!

    Thanks pachazo.

    This is an EON speaking character. For two clues, googling the film scripts might help.

    Clues:

    1) One of the "simple word association" words spoken during the exam in Skyfall relates to me.
    2) Danger? I don't mind some.

    Incorrect guesses:

    - Claus (FYEO)
    - Elektra King
    - Lucia Sciarra
    - Scaramanga

    No one has it yet. But speaking of the lovely yet dangerous Fiona Volpe, another clue's been added.
