Colonel Moon (Will Yun Lee)

Character

Lee's character is Colonel Moon, a power-crazed North Korean Colonel hell-bent on reuniting North and South Korea by destabilising relations between the countries and overthrowing the South, before eventually waging war against Japan and the US. Educated at Oxford and Harvard, he is at odds with his peace loving father, General Moon, and is aided by his accomplice, Zao.

Bond first meets Colonel Moon during a weapons deal - Moon is frequently occupied with the illegal smugging of diamonds from Africa.

Between them they own an arsenal of deadly weapons. Amongst his small army is an arsenal of military hovercraft and several sports cars, which he uses to capture Bond during the film's pre-title sequence. It appears that Colonel Moon is an extremely ruthless man, even with his own men. "He likes to put them on the edge" one report said.

The Colonel Moon character is one of the film's main villains; the others are Graves (Toby Stephens) and his chief henchman Zao (Rick Yune).
