Vesper Lynd

British Intelligence operative for Station S

Vesper Lynd is an intelligence operative for MI6’s Station S, assigned to assist 007 on his mission to bankrupt Le Chiffre, one of SMERSH’s chief agents in France. She poses as an assistant to René Mathis, who is undercover as a radio salesman, and as Bond’s companion to help him infiltrate the casino at Royale-les-Eaux, where Le Chiffre frequently gambles.
