    Danso Mollaka?

    1. Science was my strong point - bomb maker with a knowledge of chemicals, circuitry etc.

    2. It sounds like Downing Street is aware of my death. - M has to report to the PM.

    I'm afraid that answer has bombed. Not Mollaka.

    Two more clues:

    1. Science was my strong point.

    2. It sounds like Downing Street is aware of my death.

    3. It's all about the money... but cheaper options were available!

    4. There's a department near here that specialises in problems like this.

    The Chief Chemist from LTK? Although I'm not sure if his fate was revealed or not now...

    @Tokoloshe2 I really like the characters you come up with, almost feels like you're selecting them just for me ;)
    Would that be Perringe, the assassinated scientist mentioned by Number 10 in TB's Spectre meeting?

    *** clue #2 is the only one that leaves me a bit puzzled as Perringe is French, so if he is in fact the right character, I don't see the connection with Downing street.

    @R1s1ngs0n is correct, it is Perringe whose assassination is reported in the SPECTRE board meeting in TB. Explanations:

    1. Science was my strong point.

    He is an antimatter specialist. By contrast Blofeld, who received the report, later said that science wasn't his strong point.

    2. It sounds like Downing Street is aware of my death.

    His death is reported by "Number 10", which sounds like Downing Street :)

    3. It's all about the money... but cheaper options were available!

    The financial report states that SPECTRE received $3million - a massive fee for an assassination! Even Scaramanga would have done it for one-third of the price!

    4. There's a department near here that specialises in problems like this.

    $3million received from the "special department" of the Quai D'Orsay, which is in Paris where we know this SPECTRE board meeting is happening. Quai D'Orsay is a street, but it is also a byword for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs located there (much like "Langley" for the CIA).

    5. I was punished for my betrayal.

    Perringe defected to the Russians. It never ends well, does it?

    6. This is the second of five. Specifically: 7, 10, 5, 11 and 1[/b]

    The reports from SPECTRE operatives at the meeting.

    Well done. I thought it was that guy, but couldn't explain clue #2 either.

    @Tokoloshe2
    Nice twist on clue #2 ;)
    I'll try and come up with a new character later on.

    I liked those clues @Tokoloshe2. I was also thinking about the SPECTRE meeting but didn't remember this scientist.

    Named EON character.

    1. Although I've just met Bond, I know details about him that very few people know.
    2. My boss is very pleased with me.
    3. When this round is over I will take my place right next to the previous character.

    Well done @goldenswissroyale
    It is indeed Phidian, the adjoint to Sir Hilary Bray.
    I admit that prior to this round I had no idea what this character’s name was, so had to look it up.
    For some reason I thought his name was Higgins (maybe his last name) as that’s how it sounded when Sir Hilary complimented him on his work.
    As for the clues:
    Phidian (who will be listed right under Perringe, once @Birdleson updates his list) is complimented by Sir Hilary on his splendid job designing Bond’s coat of arms (and hence, having knowledge of his family tree).

    Thanks @R1s1ngs0n I'm not good when it comes to names of minor characters. But Phidian is an exception since he gets a lot of attention in Helfenstein's book about OHMSS. I would have loved to see this planned scene where Bond is chasing Phidian over the roofs.
    I hope I can start a new round with a (named!) character tonight.

    New round.
    Named EON character.
    1. K, J, Bond
    2. I'm obviously not talking about Scaramanga's place.
    3. They are able to convince me.
    4. I show some respect for one person we are discussing.
    5. Bond is wearing a bow tie.
    6. The money is on the table.
    7. I defintely look less perfectly maintained than my visitors.


    Guesses:
    Colonel Smithers
    Vijay
