    Thank you @Birdleson ! I've only ever guessed one of these correctly before - you and some of the other successful contestants on this page must be wizards at cryptic crosswords!

    Solid lateral thinking required to come up with some challenging clues. I'll percolate on a character - and will be back in a day with a guess (sorry - going to see Sigur Ros play tonight! So will be back as soon as possible.)

    Clues 1, 2, 3 and 6 guided my thinking.

    By the way - I'd never noticed that Stromberg mispronounced Sandor's name!

    congrats @mreame ! It is indeed Truman-Lodge!

    1.) I'm always on the case
    (He's always holding a briefcase)

    2.) I'm a product of my time
    (An archetype 80s yuppie)

    3.) salvation is often on my mind

    (In the final scenes he says to Sanchez twice that they have to try and save the facility)
    [/b]
    4.) I have a lot of explaining to do
    (He performs lengthy explanations of the operations to visitors on two different occasions)

    5.) you might think I'm an honest person
    (His name is Tru Man)

    6.) I expect to lead but some won't follow

    (At one point he keeps walking expecting the tour to follow him but they instinctively follow the more powerful Sanchez instead - I like this as a piece of character development.)

    7.) my final words are the lowest form of wit
    (Sarcasm - 'Brilliant Franz!)

    8.) i love marketing but not keen on showing my wares

    (He talks about 'aggressive marketing' to the potential investors but is reticent to show them the labs)

    Over to you @mreame

    Well done @mreame and welcome to the game.

    For this one, how about Hai Fat?

    Thank you Tokoloshe! You are correct. It is Hai Fat.
    1). He supports local schools- "Take Mr. Bond to school."
    2) He keeps his business venture off shore - the power plant on Scaramanga's island.
    3) He is not fond of spotlight- "Hai Fat takes his privacy very serious"

    It's all yours!
