    Not him. Clue #13 narrows down the field considerably for you gents.

    #13 would be easier with Bill Conti instead of Barry ;)

    Edit: obviously not him as he's unnamed.

    Not the bomb defuser, although I feel like he has a name. Maybe not. I put today's clues up, everyone.

    No, it's not our friend Mr. Solo.
    Thanks @Thrasos for clearing that up.

  • Gebrüder Gumbold?

    Gebrüder Gumbold?

    Pedantically, I should point out that "Gebrüder" is German for 'brothers', so the name of the company is Gumbold Brothers. I don't think we know Herr Gumbold's first name.

    Shoot, thanks for clarifying that @Tokoloshe2. Of course you are right!

    I actually didn't know that either. Fascinating stuff. Okay, let's try some more clues.

    Named, Eon Character :

    1) The organization that employs me has a long and detailed history with Bond.
    2) By chance and happenstance.
    3) James, don't leave me!
    4) Am I sleeping with the fishes?
    5) Look up at the stars for the answer to the previous clue.
    6) I certainly know how to create a distraction.
    7) It's what's on the inside that counts.
    8) If you can't trust a Swiss banker...
    9) ...try, try another profession Mr. Wint!
    10) Bond nearly blew the mission thanks to me.

    11) Instead of thinking outside the box, perhaps you should be focusing within the rectangle.
    12) It wasn't too difficult for Bond to find this hidey-hole.
    13) John Barry provides the music.
    14) You've had your six.
    15) It's risky to take me out in public like this.
    16) Mr. Osato believes in me!
    17) Bond has a clearer view of me than the audience does.
    18) Although my appearance is brief, I help to establish one of Bond's character traits that will come into play later on in the film.

    How could I forget her. It looks so obvious now. I even played her myself last year X_X

    I have no idea who that is.

    She's the centrefold model in the copy of Playboy in Gumbold's office. All the clues seem to fit well.

    Ahh ok. It all makes sense now

    That's right, @Birdleson has it. It's Lorrie Menconi, the Playmate of the Month from February 1969 that Bond feasts his eyes upon in Gumbold's office.

    https://www.thebondbulletin.com/the-ohmss-playboy/

    1) The organization that employs me has a long and detailed history with Bond.
    Playboy had a long history with Bond, featuring Fleming's short stories to Bond Girls posing to interviews with the actors etc..

    2) By chance and happenstance.
    Bond just happens to come across the magazine.

    3) James, don't leave me!
    He ends up taking "her" with him. Incidentally, Tanya Roberts once posed for Playboy in 1982.

    4) Am I sleeping with the fishes?
    5) Look up at the stars for the answer to the previous clue.

    She is a Pisces. Look at the article I posted for further reference. QBranch, you were on the right track.

    6) I certainly know how to create a distraction.
    7) It's what's on the inside that counts.

    Self explanatory.

    8) If you can't trust a Swiss banker...
    9) ...try, try another profession Mr. Wint!

    Gumbold is a Swiss lawyer, of German descent apparently.

    10) Bond nearly blew the mission thanks to me.
    He is looking at the centerfold in the lobby and almost exposes it to Gumbold.

    11) Instead of thinking outside the box, perhaps you should be focusing within the rectangle.
    The centerfold is a rectangular shape.

    12) It wasn't too difficult for Bond to find this hidey-hole.
    13) John Barry provides the music.

    Again, self explanatory, and I love that piece by Barry!

    14) You've had your six.
    The combination to the lock has six numbers.

    15) It's risky to take me out in public like this.
    Bond brazenly looking at the centerfold in the lobby.

    16) Mr. Osato believes in me!
    A healthy chest.

    17) Bond has a clearer view of me than the audience does.
    18) Although my appearance is brief, I help to establish one of Bond's character traits that will come into play later on in the film.

    Bond seems to have a complete lack of self control when it comes to women, easily distracting him from the mission. That is how he is discovered to be a fake by Blofeld at Piz Gloria.

    I admit that it was little devious of me to call this a named character, but it fits just the same. goldenswissroyale, I had forgotten you played this character so recently. I wonder how similar our clues were (or weren't) now. Give a hand to @Birdleson, our master sleuth. Over to you, maestro.
