Hai Fat
(Richard Loo)
A Taiwanese industrialist and multi-millionaire, who is rich enough to employ Scaramanga on a permanent retainer as his quite literal troubleshooter. He lives on a huge guarded estate outside Bangkok, which features a grand mausoleum into which he intends to be put when he dies.
When his underlings' attempts to kill Bond fail, Hai Fat decides to flee Bangkok to a safer place. Scaramanga has other ideas, though. Having already secured himself a seat on the board of Hai Fat's corporation, he shoots his erstwhile employer with his golden gun and instructs that he be put in his own mausoleum, before taking over the business himself. (TMWTGG)

Hair Across Door
Low-tech means used by Bond to determine if anyone had attempted to go through his belongings while he was out. (DN)

Hairbrush
Part of Bond's shaving kit, which also includes a bug detector, the hairbrush contains a radio transmitter and, for if his room was bugged, a morse transmitter. (LALD)

Hairdryer
Magda's use of this piece of beauty equipment plays havoc with Bond's bug radio reception while he tries to eavesdrop on Kamal Khan and General Orlov. (OP)

Hammond
A member of MI6, working as M's bodyguard and driver at his residence. (OHMSS)

Handbag
Part of the "standard CIA equipment" (what, even for men?) used by Holly Goodhead. This particular bag has a telescopic aerial and a radio receiver hidden inside. (MR)

Hang Glider
A silent aircraft that Bond uses to enter the Kananga estate on San Monique undetected, towed aloft by Quarrel Jr's fishing boat (LALD), and also to escape his boat's inexorable rush toward a waterfall in the Brazilian jungle (MR).

Hans
1: (Ronald Rich) Blofeld's bodyguard at SPECTRE's volcano base off Japan. As well as his defensive duties, it was also Hans's job to feed Blofeld's piranha fish - which after tangling with Bond, he ended up doing in a more hands-on manner than usual. (YOLT)
2: (Heinz Winter) The hotel concierge in Vienna, who knows Bond as a regular customer with regular habits. He is quite surprised when Bond requests a room with two bedrooms, one for himself and one for Kara Milovy. (TLD)

Hard Hat
Protective headgear that Bond is ordered to wear by the gate guard at the Main Strike mine. (AVTAK)

(Robert Brown)

Harpoon Gun
Weapon intended for underwater use, powered by compressed gas. In Bond's hands it is invariably deadly. In the webbed hands of Stromberg (he has one with a very long barrel and explosive harpoons concealed under his dining table), it's not quite as effective. (TB, TSWLM, LTK)

Harris
A San Francisco police officer who was told he could forget about his segeant's promotion after his car was wrecked in the pursuit of Bond, though he probably escaped having to pay for the car after his captain's vehicle went much the same way seconds later. (AVTAK)

Harrods
Britain's most famous and exclusive store, located in Knightsbridge, London. Bond takes Koskov a hamper from here after he complains about the food at Blayden. (TLD)

Hat, Bowler
For most people, a simple piece of headgear. For Oddjob, a lethal weapon, his particular chapeau being fitted with a razor-sharp steel brim, making it deadly when thrown. (GF)

Hatstand
Clothes hanger in M's office (wherever in the world it may happen to be, be it in a submarine or a pyramid), invariably used by 007 for target practice.

Hat, Reversible
One minute it's a flat cap, the next a Cuban army colonel's hat. Just what you need to infiltrate a Cuban airbase. (OP)

Hat, Top
A symbol of high society - unless you're into voodoo, in which case a small black top hat with a bloodstained feather in the brim is a warning of death. A white top hat was used to summon up Baron Samedi - actually an animatronic dummy - at a voodoo ceremony. Bond also wore a grey one as part of his morning suit at Leiter's wedding, complete with bullet hole. (LALD, LTK)

Havelock, Iona
(Toby Robins)
The Greek wife of Sir Timothy Havelock and mother of Melina. She and her husband are killed on their ship by Hector Gonzales. (FYEO)

She uses a detective agency to track Gonzales to Italy, where she kills him with a crossbow. She escapes with the help of Bond (whose life she had saved twice), but is determined to kill whoever had hired Gonzales as well - Locque. Realising the danger, Locque sends a fake telegram in Bond's name to lure Melina into a trap at Cortina, but 007 saves her. When he meets her again off Corfu, Bond tells her about the St Georges so that she can help him locate it - she is the only person who could read the shorthand her father used for his log. After an underwater battle first with a man in a JIM diving suit and then the Mantis submersible, she and Bond return to the Triana - only to find that Kristatos and his men have boarded it and killed the crew. Kristatos plans to keel-haul them through a coral reef, but Bond is able to use the coral to cut the rope binding them. Melina accompanies Bond and Columbo to St Cyrils, where she uses her crossbow to good effect on the guards before confronting Kristatos. Bond cautions her about the futility of revenge, but in the end she doesn't have to worry, as Columbo kills Kristatos for her. She returns with Bond to the Triana, where she enjoys a night with him as Max the parrot talks to Margaret Thatcher over his watch radio. (FYEO)

Havelock, Sir Timothy
(Jack Hedley)

Heart
Koskov and Necros use one of these, wired up to keep beating, in order to smuggle diamonds from Tangier. The gems are hidden amongst the ice in the organ's refrigerated transit case. Sanchez also makes use of a heart, this time a genuine human one, when he orders it cut from the chest of Alvarez, Lupe Lamora's lover, as warning to his girlfriend not to cheat on him again. (TLD, LTK)

Heat Signature Recognition
The means by which Q surmises that Stromberg's submarine tracking system locates its prey, detecting the faint temperature changes caused by a submarine's wake. (TSWLM)

Helen
One of the girls at Piz Gloria, ostensibly there for allergy research but in reality being brainwashed by Blofeld to help spread his crop sterility virus. (OHMSS)

Helicopter Pilot

Heller, Colonel
(Don Stroud)
Sanchez's head of security in Isthmus City. The US Attorney general made a deal with him, granting him immunity if he would arrange for the return of four stolen Stinger ground-to-air missiles that Sanchez was threatening to use against an American airliner. Unfortunately, Bond's attempt to assassinate Sanchez causes Heller to panic, telling Pam Bouvier - the go-between - that the deal is off. When it looks as though Sanchez's plans are in danger, Heller decides to flee with the Stingers, but Bond has already warned the drug lord, and Heller ends up impaled by a forklift truck as punishment. (LTK)

Henderson
(Charles Gray)
A trusted associate of both MI6 and the Japanese SIS, Henderson has a wooden leg (his right), having lost his real leg in Singapore in 1942, and has lived in Japan for 28 years, during which time he has become a friend of SIS head Tiger Tanaka.

Unfortunately, he is cut short when a SPECTRE assassin impales him through a partition wall. (YOLT)

Hergersheimer, Klaus
(Ed Bishop)
A technician at Tectronics's desert facility, who works for G Section, checking radiation shields. He has been at the company for three years and, luckily for Bond, always carries spare radiation detector badges. (DAF)

Hip, Lieutenant
(Soon-Taik Oh)
One of MI6's agents in Hong Kong, whose cover is that of a police detective. Hip is assigned to protect Gibson, but he is no match for Scaramanga. Following Gibson's murder, Hip prevents Bond from being drawn into a potentially tricky situation with the police by taking him to the MI6 station aboard the Queen Elizabeth.
Hip goes to Bangkok with Bond to investigate Hai Fat's connection to Gibson. He provides backup as Bond, posing as Scaramanga, enters Hai Fat's estate, and later helps him escape from Hai Fat's karate school, showing off his own martial arts skills. He isn't quite as efficient at this as Bond might have hoped - assuming that Bond had already got into his car instead of being a gentleman and closing the door for his nieces Cha and Nara, Hip sets off without Bond! (TMWTGG)

Hip's Nieces
These two Thai schoolgirls, Cha and Nara, proved to be two of Bond's more unusual allies - as their father owns a karate school, they are more than capable of defeating the agent's less skillful pursuers! (TMWTGG)

HMS Ark Royal
A British aircraft carrier upon which Bond served as Commander during his naval career. (TSWLM)

Hockey Players
A trio of ice-hockey thugs who try to take Bond out of the game in Cortina, but who end up scoring own goals. However, they keep Bond occupied long enough for Locque to murder Luigi Ferrara. (FYEO)

Homer
A homing device. Bond's Aston Martin DB5 came with two of these, one large for tracking vehicles and a smaller one that fitted in the heel of his shoe. The larger of the two is magnetic. The location of the homer is displayed on a screen inside the DB5, which can pick up a homing signal from 150 miles away. A smaller version is fitted as standard issue in the bottom button of female agents' dresses in South-East Asia. (GF, TMWTGG)

Hosein, Sheikh
(Edward de Souza)
An old friend of Bond from his days at Cambridge, now a wealthy Egyptian sheikh.
