Rene MathisAppears in: Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace

Portrayed By: Giancarlo Giannini

Country: France (presumably)

Status: Deceased

Who he is:
  • Rene Mathis is Bond's ally in Casino Royale, working for MI6. However, it is unclear as to whether or not his loyalty truly lies with Bond. When Bond and treasury officer Vesper Lynd are taken captive by Le Chiffre, Le Chiffre boasts Mathis' loyalty to him. Mathis is accused of sharing Bond's knowledge of Le Chiffre's bluffing twitch with Le Chiffre himself. Bond has MI6 take Mathis into custody under the suspicion of being a traitor. However, when Vesper Lynd is revealed as a traitor, it is questionable as to whether or not Mathis was truly the culprit responsible for sharing Bond's secrets. M claims that the case on Mathis has been cleared.
  • In Quantum of Solace, Bond turns to Mathis when no one else will help him regarding Dominic Greene. Mathis helps Bond to identify the Quantum members who were photographed at the opera and travels with Bond to Bolivia. During a party with Greene and Bolivian officials, Bond leaves Mathis and Strawberry Fields. Later, arrested by two Bolivian police agents, he finds a beaten Mathis in the boot. The agents shot Mathis in the back but Bond finally gains the upper hand and kills them. Dying, Mathis tells Bond to forgive Vesper. In a hurry before the authorities catch up with him, Bond then surprisingly disposes of Mathis' body in a dustbin, claiming to Camille that he wouldn't have cared. Mathis was betrayed by his "friend", the chief of the Bolivian Police Department, who was later shot by Bond during the climax in the desert hotel.
  • Rene Mathis was actually a cover name. It is unknown what his real name was.

when Vesper says "I have to go, Mathis needs me," how did Bond know she was about to be kidnapped?
