Characters for the 2006 film.

Treasury agent who is tasked to accompany Bond to the poker tournament at Casino Royale, posing as his wife.
- Break the Cutie: She has to play along with everything to steal Bond's money and rescue her kidnapped/dead boyfriend.
- Heroic BSOD: She goes through one after seeing several men get killed.
- Meaningful Name - Vesper Lynd is a pun on "West Berlin". Berlin was a city split down the middle during the Cold War. Vesper's loyalties are split down the middle.
- Show Some Leg: She wears a low-cut dress given by Bond to be a distraction during the card game.
Adolph Gettler

- Evil Genius
- Hollywood Nerd
- Meaningful Name: Le Chiffre means "The Cypher" in French. In the novel, it was an alias deliberately chosen by the villain (real name never provided) because he was nothing more than a "number" to the displaced persons bureaucracy.
- Red Right Hand: He weeps blood from his left eye when stressed. It gets lampshaded.

"Weeping blood comes merely from a derangement of the tear duct. Nothing sinister." |

- Smug Snake: A rather creepy version of this trope.
