Charles
Robinson (Colin Salmon)
Character
Robinson
is a fairly senior operative in MI6, having been seen in high level briefings
with M and Tanner. It is Robinson whom 007 reports to when he needs to contact
HQ.
Though originally written into "Tomorrow Never Dies" to replace
Bill Tanner when Michael Kitchen proved unavailable, Charles Robinson returned
in "The World Is Not Enough" and now "Die Another Day".
Robinson
joins Falco and several NSA agents on the Korean border when Bond is handed back
to the West.
"Robinson" is shot and killed during the VR training
sequence where Bond fails to protect M. Although only a simulation, Bond's reaction
at seeing Robinson "killed" is real.
