Xenia Sergeyevna Onatopp (Russian: Ксения Сергеевна Онатопп) is a fictional character in the James Bond film GoldenEye, played by actress Famke Janssen.

[edit] Biography

Xenia, born in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, was a fighter pilot in the Soviet Air Force. After the collapse of the USSR, she joined the crime syndicate Janus, led by renegade MI6 agent Alec Trevelyan. Early in the movie, Bond gets into a car chase with her, meets her at a casino, and places her under surveillance.

Her main characteristic is the fact that she is generally perceived as being a classic representation of a "femme fatale", and can apparently receive sexual satisfaction through killing. In a memorable scene, she lures Canadian admiral Chuck Farrell (Billy J. Mitchell) onto a yacht moored off Monte Carlo. Ferociously making love to him, clad in revealing lingerie, she suddenly turns over, wraps her incredibly strong legs around him and crushes his chest between her thighs, achieving orgasm whilst squealing "Yes, yes... YES!"

On board the Manticore, a Janus-owned yacht, Xenia dispatches Admiral Chuck Farrell, whilst achieving orgasm.

During the act, a man steals the admiral's ID, enabling her and an unidentified Janus operative to steal a prototype of the Eurocopter Tiger, which was scheduled for a high-profile test flight the following day.

Her sadistic sexual proclivities, coupled with her overall lack of conscience, would seem to qualify her as a psychopath; however, Xenia does not meet any of the other characteristics of psychopathy such as disorganized thought or unreliability.

Later, she and turncoat Russian General Arkady Ourumov use the hijacked Tiger in an attack on the Severnaya satellite control center in central Siberia, where they steal the controller for the GoldenEye electromagnetic pulse (EMP) satellite weapon. During the attack, she fires an AKSU-74 carbine around the control room, murdering all the military personnel and technicians present, again getting sexually aroused in the process.

She encounters Bond three more times during the film, attempting to crush him between her thighs on two occasions. It should be noted that this is a popular wrestling hold called 'bodyscissors', though Xenia certainly uses it in a more sexual manner than any wrestler would. The first time, she comes on to him in a turkish bath in a Russian hotel, and after being flung to the floor by Bond, tells him that "You don't need the gun, Commander" to which Bond replies '"That depends on your definition of safe sex."' Clad in only a bathrobe, she initially puts her arms around him and kisses him, lowering Bond's guard enough for him to drop his gun. Xenia pulls away, with Bond's lower lip clenched in her teeth. Bond pushes her to the wall, observing her obvious sexual arousal, before going for his gun, but Xenia kicks him to the ground before he can get it. She climbs atop him and they roll around the floor together, Bond eventually on top of Xenia, much to her apparent delight, and grabs her throat. Xenia smiles, stroking Bond's face and asking "Y'think you can hurt me?" before laughing. After James gets off of her, he goes for his gun once more. Xenia gets up too and lunges at him, pushing him onto the massage table, before she flips him over, jumps on him and after pulling his head toward her chest, wraps her long legs around his waist.

In a St Petersburg steam room, Xenia gives James a taste of her rough style of loving, as she squeezes him with her trademark bodyscissors technique.

Forcing him back, he moans in pain whilst she groans loudly in pleasure, still choking him with her thighs and hands, which are around his neck. As James slaps his hands on her knees and attempts to break her hold, she again achieves orgasm after writhing on Bond's lap whilst squeezing him. Bond gets up, with Xenia still hanging on with her legs and a hand around his neck, and slams her against the wall, to her pleasure. His head against her collarbone, Xenia roughly grasps his hair, and asks him "Y'think you can break me, eh?" before she kisses him passionately, wrapping her arms around him and squeezing harder with her thighs, apparently breaking a bone or two, based on the cracking sounds during the scene. Enraged, Bond begins slamming Xenia into walls harder, which only causes her to squeal '"Yes! Yes! Yes!!"' in pleasure. After Xenia attempts to squeeze him once more, whilst kissing his neck, Bond finally frees himself from her deathly grip by setting her rear down on the hot rocks in the sauna. A man armed with a cosh attempts to intervene, though it is unknown whether he is a Janus operative, or merely a pool attendant. Bond dispatches him with a water bucket, before slamming Xenia on the floor, pulling his gun on her, and demanding to be led to Janus.

After knocking her out when she leads him to the Statue Graveyard, Bond next encounters Onatopp on Trevelyan's train, where an annoyed Trevelyan enquires of him "Why can't you just be a good boy and die?", Bond replies "You first," before pointing his gun at Onatopp and adding "You, second." Prior to the encounter, she displays sexual excitement at Bond's imminent derailing of the train.

The third and final time is after he and Natalya Simonova, the only innocent survivor of the Severnaya attack, enter Cuba to stop Trevelyan. After their plane is shot down by a missile, Onatopp rappels from a helicopter onto Bond, who is just awakening following the crash, and quickly gains the upper hand in their battle. She gets Bond between her muscular legs and tells him "This time, Mr. Bond, the pleasure will be all mine." After this she licks his face and begins to crush his ribcage with her legs, again becoming sexually aroused by the encounter. Just as Bond is ready to pass out from the pressure, Natalya intervenes, attempting to hit Onatopp with a log, Onatopp blocks her attempt and headbuts her. Bond then connects the rope she rappelled down to her safety harness, grabs her AK-74 rifle that was slung across her back and kills the helicopter's pilot by shooting into the helicopter's cockpit from the ground. The chopper veers away, pulling Onatopp off Bond and trapping her in a fork of a tree, with her chest being crushed by her safety harness.

Onatopp and Bond fighting in the jungles of Cuba, shortly before her defeat.

After, Bond tells Natalya that "She always did enjoy a good squeeze."

[edit] Other appearances

Onatopp has appeared in a number of James Bond video games as a playable multiplayer character. Her first appearance was in the 1997 video game adaptation of GoldenEye, GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64. She is with Trevelyan on the train stage of the game. If the player quickly shoots her after eliminating Ourumov, she will yell to Trevelyan that she is wounded and to wait up for her. This buys the player more time to escape from the train. She later reappears in the jungle stage. Similar to the film, she is killed in the jungles of Cuba after battling with Bond, although Bond is unable to make her die by way of the tree trunks.

In the James Bond game Nightfire, Xenia also appears as a multiplayer character. She can be unlocked by a cheat on the cheats menu and the code is JANUS, the organisation she worked for in the movie.

She later appeared in the spinoff Bond game, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent where she worked for Dr. Julius No and was GoldenEye's alluring opponent, and appears to be commander of an army of Dr. No's that has taken over Hoover Dam. She is killed in Rogue Agent after being blown off the Hoover Dam when attempting to crush GoldenEye between her legs. In the game she was voiced by actress Jenya Lano. However, in the Nintendo DS version of Goldeneye, the OMEN kills her because there is no Hoover Dam level.

[edit] Trivia

• After her portrayal by Famke Janssen, Xenia was voted the 2nd most memorable Bond Girl, only narrowly beaten by Ursula Andress's legendary performance as Honey Ryder^{[citation needed]}.

• She is the first Bond girl to make love to someone other than Bond onscreen, and the first to express anything close to an orgasm.

• Famke's character also caused the cancellation of the Goldeneye miniseries of comics, due to the sexually provocative cover to Issue #2, which featured her straddling Bond with a gun to her face. The opening pages also depicted her orgasmic killing at Severnaya. A few copies are available, however, due to the writer paying for a select number to be printed.

• She is the second woman ever killed by Bond, the first being Naomi, Karl Stromberg's helicopter pilot, in The Spy Who Loved Me and later on Elektra King (played by Sophie Marceau) in The World Is Not Enough, bringing the total to only three.

• The admiral who is killed by Xenia was orgininally supposed to be in the United States Navy. However, after reviewing the script, Hollywood and the Pentagon threatened to have the film boycotted due to the unfavorable portrayal of the US military in film. The character was then changed to a Canadian naval admiral, as Canada is not known for demanding its military personnel always be portrayed favorably. This, as well as influence on other films, has raised concerned for some Americans as to the Pentagon's clout over moviemaking to demand positive portrayal of military personnel for public affairs and recruiting purposes.

[edit] Boris Grishenko

James Bond character
Boris Ivanovich Grishenko
Gender	Male
Role	Henchman
Affiliation	Russian Defence Space Division / Janus
Current status	Frozen
Portrayed by	Alan Cumming

Boris Ivanovich Grishenko (Russian: Борис Иванович Грищенко) is a fictional character in the James Bond film GoldenEye played by Scottish actor Alan Cumming.

He is a brilliantly talented computer programmer and cracker who has hacked the United States Department of Justice. He is also backstabbing and arrogant, often shouting "I am invincible!" whenever he succeeds. Boris frequently spins pens with his hands while working.

Boris works at the Severnaya observatory in Siberia which watches over the two weapons satellites, Petya and Mischa. Boris left the observatory for a cigarette only minutes before its destruction by the Petya satellite. He had actually slipped away and flew off with General Arkady Ouromov and Xenia Onatopp, having allied himself with Alec Trevelyan to steal the GoldenEye satellite. His main purpose with Janus is to operate the GoldenEye satellite in exchange for a share of the profits.

Boris helps his comrades kidnap Natalya Simonova, the only other survivor of the attack on Severnaya.

While attempting to crack the access codes for the GoldenEye, he obtains a grenade disguised as a pen from Bond's wide arsenal of gadgets. The explosive properties of the pen are unknown to him. The pen needs to be clicked three times to arm the grenade, and an additional three times to disarm it, which Boris does out of a nervous habit. Bond knocks the pen out of his hand leading to an explosion that destroys much of the control center, giving Bond and Natalya a perfect opportunity to escape.

After the satellite control room is destroyed, Boris is amazed to see he managed to survive the incident, prompting him to jump up and shout his trademark exclamation ("I am invincible!") — at which point a vat of liquid nitrogen explodes, freezing him instantly. He shows up in the videogame chronologically earlier than the incident at Severnaya.

[edit] Boris in GoldenEye 007 video game

Boris appears twice in GoldenEye 007, a video game for the Nintendo 64 based on the movie. The first time the player meets him is in the Severnaya observatory, where he is simply known as "Programmer". The player coerces him into disabling the security on a mainframe. This event does not occur in the movie, as Bond never goes to the observatory in Severnaya in the movie.

The next time the player sees him is in the satellite control center. When they meet, Boris fumbles with a PP7, then begs for his life claiming "Trevelyan made me do it!" If the player waits a moment, Boris will run away shouting his trademark line from the movie, "I am invincible!" The player can follow him until he ducks into a vent and mysteriously vanishes in a secret room with a Body Armor powerup. This, like the player's previous encounter with him, is exclusive to the game. If Boris is killed in this scene, Natalya gets angry with Bond and refuses to operate the computer. As a result, the player will fail the mission. If he is killed in the secret room, however, Natalya will not be aware of his death.

Boris is also playable as a multiplayer character.

Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov (Russian: Аркадий Григорович Урумов) is a fictional character in the James Bond film GoldenEye, played by Gottfried John.

[edit] Biography

Joining the Russian Army at 18 Ourumov always had a zeal for power, and would constantly use any means necessary to get his way to the top. 27 years later Ourumov who had grown tiresome of having little power was finally promoted to Colonel and was given the important job of being in charge of a Soviet Russian Chemical Weapons Factory. During his early days in his new position he meet a young and bitter Alec Trevelyan, who tells Ourumov of his past, his hatred for MI6 and his future intentions, but making sure to leave out a few vital details about himself. Alec offers Ourumov a part in his plan and that he will be paid well and receive his status as the next "Iron Man Of Russia", Ourumov graciously accepts and the two would not see each other for a few years. Until Alec and James Bond were to go on a mission to destroy Ourumov's base, only Ourumov and Alec had different plans. Alec deliberately gets himself caught by Ourumov and his men, and Bond witnesses as Ourumov shoots Alec in the head. Ourumov attempts to catch Bond and almost succeeds, but Bond just manages to escape.

The shooting was staged however, unbeknownst to Bond; Trevelyan lives however left scarred on the right side of his face. He becomes an international terrorist under the name "Janus" (The two faced Roman God). Ourumov originally supposed to be executed for the destruction of chemical weapons base, frames one of his soldiers for the incident and instead gets promoted to General, earning more power and becoming in charge of the Severnaya Space Facility in Siberia. Ourumov also has the job of employing another member for The Janus Crime Syndicate, he hires Xenia Onatopp Ex - Soviet Fighter Pilot whom he is familiar with and trusts. For the next nine years The Janus Crime Syndicate would terrorize Russia without getting caught and all their identities remaining secret, and Ourumov was earning more and more power which was starting to worry the Russian Government.

A year before the main plot of Goldeneye takes place, Ourumov completes the establishment of their syndicates greatest weapon "Goldeneye". Two Goldeneye satellite dish were built: one in Siberia, and one hidden in Cuba. Anyone who became suspicious of Ourumov ended up dead at the hands or perhaps thighs of Xenia. The Syndicates first act was to take place, the stealing of The Tiger Helicopter Ourumov and Xenia personally took care of the operation under the strict order of Janus to not fail. They successfully manage to steal it before Bond could stop them, and arrive in Siberia hours later where the Second Act of their operation would take place. Ourumov made sure to hire the most intelligent computer programmer to take care of the goldeneye weapon: Boris Grishenko. Ourumov and Xenia enter the satellite base where the corrupt general orders one of his men to give him the goldeneye and authorization codes as they are going to testfire Goldeneye. Upon receiving the Goldeneye Xenia suddenly shoots everyone in the base, and they arm the Goldeneye to fire at Severnaya. The two leave pleased with their success not knowing one person is still alive: Natalya Simonova.

Ourumov and Xenia take Boris with them and escape moments before The Goldeneye weapon goes off, and their witness Natalya only just escapes. Afterwards Ourumov heads back to Russia to report to defense Minister Mishkin, Ourumov soon learns that Natalya Simonova is alive and he leaves immediately frustrated with Xenia's failure in killing "everyone". He assigns Boris and Xenia to find her, which doesn't take them long. Ourumov takes Natalya to Alec's secret hideout where he ties her up in the Tiger helicopter to await her death. Bond also ends up tied up in the helicopter moments after learning Alec is alive and the he has turned on him and MI6. Bond and Natalya only just escape as the Tiger helicopter explodes but are soon caught by Ourumov's men and taken to a large castle like base where they wait in a prison cell.

Later, upon hearing that Mishkin had Bond and Natalya in custody, Ourumov arrives and storms into the cell wherein Mishkin is interrogating the pair. Ourumov argues with Mishkin trying to convince him Bond is the traitor. Mishkin yells for a guard to arrest Ourumov but the general turns and shoots both the guard and Mishkin with Bond's gun. Ourumov then calls for the guards to come and kill Bond and Natalya, but is grabbed by Bond and beaten and thrown into a wall knocking him flat. Ourumov leads his soldiers to catch Bond and Natalya through the base. Ourumov's men capture Natalya leaving Bond to escape on his own. Ourumov takes one of his men and Natalya and they escape out into the streets by car, but soon Bond comes bursting through a wall behind them in a tank. He leaves behind a path of destruction as he chases Ourumov through the streets of St. Petersburg. Ourumov escapes and arrives at Alec's personal Bullet Train. He kills the soldier who drove them there in order to prevent him from revealing what Ourumov has done. Ourumov boards the train with Natalya, and explains to Trevelyan what has happened and that Bond has escaped. Later, their journey is halted by Bond who fires at the front end of the train with the hijacked tank. Bond boards the ruined train and holds Trevelyan and Onatopp at gun point. Ourumov is called in and he holds Natalya with a gun to her head. Bond reveals to Ourumov that Alec is a Lienz Cossack, leaving Ourumov shocked. Alec wins him over by telling him how rich and powerful he will be. Bond demands that Natalya be released, Alec nods for Ourumov to shoot Natalya but really only using him as a sacrificial lamb. But Ourumov is too slow and ends up being shot by Bond's AKS-74U putting an end to the "Iron Man Of Russia".

[edit] Ourumov in GoldenEye 007 video game

In GoldenEye 007, a video game for Nintendo 64 based on the movie, Ourumov appears in a number of the game's missions, initially when the then-Colonel murders 006, another in which Bond infiltrates a Russian facility in Kyrgyzstan to investigate an unscheduled test firing of a missile, believed to be a cover for the launch of a GoldenEye satellite, and lastly in a mission aboard Janus' armoured train, where the General is holding Natalya Simonova at gunpoint. As in the movie, Bond shoots the General while in the train, thus saving Natalya's life.
