    I'll throw out a guess for Goldfinger Gatekeeper Lady, following the same logic as Birdleson. Thought about her, can't quite fit all the clues, but why not.

    It's not Green Four or the Gatekeeper.

    Not the lovely Severine, underused though she is.

    Two more clues added...

    1. I don't need to visit Barnard Castle; there's nothing wrong with my eyes

    2. I may not look it, but I am hard and strong.

    3. I'm only a minor character, but I am discussed in more detail later in the same film...

    4. ... and by Bond fans, who want to see more of me.

    5. I wouldn't fancy having this guy just turn up on my doorstep! octopussy.jpg

    6. My top priority is to maintain a lie.

    7. I only say four words. My associate only says two words, rather rudely.

    8. Bond has no idea who I am... but he's keen to find out.

    Guy Haines?

    Sounds right!

    Yes indeed @Last_Rat_Standing it is the mysterious Quantum member Guy Haines, played by Paul Ritter.

    1. I don't need to visit Barnard Castle; there's nothing wrong with my eyes

    Like the notorious Dominic Cummings, Haines is "one of the Prime Minister's closest advisors". Unlike other audience members he's watching Tosca without any opera glasses (or any glasses at all).

    2. I may not look it, but I am hard and strong.

    When looking at the photos, Mathis comments that Bond "has some hard friends", and Bond comments "they say you're judged by the strength of your enemies".

    3. I'm only a minor character, but I am discussed in more detail later in the same film...

    As above.

    4. ... and by Bond fans, who want to see more of me.

    Haines featured in a deleted scene with Mr White filmed for an alternative ending to QOS, which has still never been made public.

    5. I wouldn't fancy having this guy just turn up on my doorstep! octopussy.jpg

    The fire juggler is Mark Heap, who would much later start alongside Paul Ritter in "Friday Night Dinner" as the annoying neighbour Jim who keeps turning up uninvited. A tricky clue but it leads you there if you know who the juggler is!

    6. My top priority is to maintain a lie.

    Haines's only four words "I'm working on that" are in relation to preventing the Americans from finding out they are being duped over the Tiera Project. It's clearly Haines's "top priority" as well as Greene's.

    7. I only say four words. My associate only says two words, rather rudely.

    Haines's bodyguard's only words are "Piss off!"

    8. Bond has no idea who I am... but he's keen to find out.

    Mathis asks Bond is he knows he Haines is... but that's what Bond is there to find out.

    Great clues. It was clue 7 that got it for me. Clue 6 made me think of him maintaining as a member of Quantum and Special Branch. Anywho i have one to start with

    Named and Speaking EON character.

    1.My book character goes by a different name and is much more fleshed out.

    2. I may share a similar sentiment shared by Dr. Goodhead

    3. I cater to the request of another.

    It's not Red Grant, Saunders or Pat Fearing . There's a few more clues below.


    Named and Speaking EON character.

    1.My book character goes by a different name and is much more fleshed out.

    Simmons in the novel is Julius Dupont who has a history with Bond and he treats him well in exchange for his help.

    2. I may share a similar sentiment shared by Dr. Goodhead

    " I dislike being spied on"

    3. I cater to the request of another.

    He lets Goldfinger have his usual seat for his suntan.

    4. Cuckoo

    Simmons is referred to as a pigeon

    5. Bond helps me but I am unaware of how he does it.

    Bond exposes the cheating against me but Simmons doesn't know how he does

    6. The government has a slight bit of intelligence on me. But nothing incriminating.

    Felix has been monitoring Simmons and Goldfinger for a week. Hence the knowledge for Bond

    7. Things are about to turn very quickly.

    My luck

    8. I travel with the villain, metaphorically.

    Goldfinger has been taking me to the cleaners. But not to the actual cleaners

    9. My opponent is spoken highly of.

    Felix says that Goldfinger is a fabulous card player.

    10. But we end up finding out the reason very shortly
    Goldfingers cheating

    Phew... that’s a relief 😅 Would have looked like a fool if it had been wrong.
    All clues matched perfectly except the one with Dr. Goodhead - how does this one fit?

    I just finished editing them. The quote "I dislike being spied on " one would think he would since Jill is spying on his cards.

    Also when I began the round, I thought it was Zimmer not Simmons. Its when I dove deeper into the character that I got the name right.
