PRIMARY TARGET - ALEC TREVELYAN
STATUS - Jammed by a radio antenna

Formerly Agent 006, Alec (played by Sean Bean) defects after a mission at a Russian chemical plant. He was thought to be shot, but in reality, it was a blank. He becomes "Janus" to keep his real identity covered. His plan to rob the Bank of England is second in danger to what the GoldenEye will do to London's economy. Alec is probably Bond's most capable villian because he, too, has had MI6 training. He even deactivated one of Bond's Q-Branch bombs.

SECONDARY TARGET - BORIS GRISHENKO
STATUS - Left out in the cold

A pathetic computer hacker (Alan Cumming) who worked at a Russian Space Center, he wastes his time by cracking into restricted places, like the Department of Justice. He even created a "spike", which traces a tracer and allows him to type in a message for them. He is the computer mastermind behind the theft involving the Bank of England.

SECONDARY TARGET - XENIA ONATOPP
STATUS - Had a pressing engagement

A former KGB assassian and Soviet pilot, Xenia (Famke Janssen) now works for the Janus Crime Syndicate and helps to steal the Tiger helicopter. She gets her kicks by killing and even uses her thighs as her weapon of choise. She also likes motoring and baccarat, two of Bond's favorite pasttimes also. She has a little problem keeping up with the French registration practices though.

ASSOCIATE - NATALYA SIMINOVA
STATUS - Unknown(Last seen with 007)

A level two systems programmer at Servanya, Natalya (Izabella Scorupco) was really the only true survivor at Servanya. Helping Bond by first locating where the second Goldeneye satellite was being operated from, and second by reprogramming the satellite itself, she seemed to end up in the arms of Janus a little two often.
