film Licence to Kill
.
Wade is named after Kevin Wade

, acting as a memorable and effective foil to the ultra-suave Bond. However, this should not imply that Wade is any less effective than his predecessor, Leiter. So far Wade has been just as helpful — and just as willing to bend the rules — as Bond's original contact was.
In GoldenEye, Bond and Wade initially didn't get along, as Wade had no patience for the cloak-and-dagger code
s and password
s that "stiff-assed Brits" like Bond relied on. They quickly grew to like each other, however, as they shared a disdain for rules and official etiquette. Through his access to CIA intelligence and Marine
forces, Wade helped Bond foil Alec Trevelyan
's plan to rob the British
government of millions.
Wade tends to give nicknames to Bond, including "Jimmy" and "Jimbo." He also has a tattoo of a rose from his third marriage that says "Muffy."
At the end of Goldeneye, he revealed that he had several squads of Marines as well as three attack helicopters standing by as "backup" for Bond.
Wade was present in Tomorrow Never Dies
. Wade meets up with James Bond again when 007 gives back an US Navy Global Positioning device to a US Navy GPS expert. Wade helps 007 orchestrate a HALO jumpout of a US Army plane. Wade is muttering to himself as 007 is falling out of plane that he would have to testify in a United States Congress
or United States Senate
intelligence committees hearings.
Wade was not present in The World Is Not Enough
or Die Another Day
. In Die Another Day, however, there were two NSA
agents, Giacinta 'Jinx' Johnson (played by Halle Berry
), and Damian Falco (played by Michael Madsen
). He is also "heard" in GoldenEye 007, for the N64, in the Water Caverns level via radio. He does not appear in the Wii remake.
, in the first Timothy Dalton
Bond film, The Living Daylights
. This casting parallels that of Charles Gray
, who first played Bond's contact, Henderson, in You Only Live Twice

in Diamonds Are Forever

actress Izabella Scorupco
.
Natalya first appeared in Goldeneye
in the Severnaya bunker, where General Ouromov killed everyone except her. Natalya says that she was accused of betraying her home, which was untrue; it was in fact Ouromov who betrayed Russia. Later on, when James Bond and Natalya were on their way to the Cuban jungle, Jack Wade gave Natalya some basic firearms training. Natalya also was able to locate the Janus base while on Alec Trevelyan
's armored missile train by tracking down the data trail left by computer hacker Boris Grishenko. Natalya, while protected by Bond, was able to prevent the Goldeneye weapon from firing on London, and even changed the password so Boris could not hack the system. After defeating Trevelyan and foiling his plot, Bond and Natalya are lying in a field of tobacco plants kissing, as Jack Wade and the U.S. Marines arrive to make sure Natalya and Bond had survived. The ending shows the troops, Wade, Bond, and Natalya being taken away in three helicopters.

, is an ex-KGB
agent turned Russian mafia
head who runs a bar, a casino, and a caviar
factory. When he was younger (and a KGB agent), a conflict with James Bond ended with Valentin being shot in the leg, as well as Bond stealing his car and "his girl". Eventually, Valentin set up a meeting for Bond with Janus, in St. Petersburg, Russia
.
After leaving the KGB, Valentin Zukovsky initially held a grudge against James Bond, but this disappeared when Bond revealed that he had shot Valentin in a way that wouldn't kill him, terming it "professional courtesy." He later made a fortune out of a beluga caviar factory. He is consistent, throughout both films, in ironically addressing Bond as "Bond, James Bond."
In The World Is Not Enough
, his personal assistant and driver named Bullion debuts. Later, after Bullion was revealed to have worked with Elektra King, and set off a bomb in Valentin's radio facility and former KGB safe house in Istanbul, Turkey (which he uses to try to contact his nephew Nikolai, whom is running a Victor 3 class submarine), Valentin shoots Bullion. Valentin Zukovsky makes many appearances in the films, before being shot and mortally wounded by Elektra King
in The World Is Not Enough
. Valentin tells Elektra King
to give him the officer's hat of his nephew Nikolai by saying "I'm looking for a submarine, it's big, black, and the driver is a very good friend of mine! Bring it to me!", but instead, she shoots Valentin through the hat. He lives long enough after being shot to execute a trick shot using a secret gun hidden within his own cane that allows James Bond to escape Elektra King's trap.
There was a deleted scene in which Bond later checks Valentin's pulse. Another scene cut out from the movie, is when Dr. Warmflash takes Valentin in and finds out he was shot in the ribs, and she eventually gets the bullet out. It is unknown if he actually lived or died.

are captured at St. Petersburg after the helicopter explosion, Defence Minister Dmitri Mishkin interrogates them both in the Russian Military Archives, believing that they were responsible for the incident in Severnaya. During the interrogation, however, Dmitri Mishkin had learned from Natalya that it was General Ourumov who massacred the programmers and fired the GoldenEye satellite at the installation. General Ourumov stormed into the room, demanding access to the prisoners. Minister Mishkin confronted Ourumov with the allegations "From what I am hearing it is you who is out of order", and Ourumov shot a guard and Mishkin in the head with Bond's PPK
in an attempt to frame Bond for the murders. Strangely his murder is not featured in the game, although it is possible for him to be killed after he hands Bond the key to the safe which contains the black box proving Alec Trevelyan
's involvement in the theft of the GoldenEye satellite.

". She sings off-key and in a heavy Russian accent, causing Bond to ask "Who's strangling a cat?".
