16. Aristotle "Aris" Kristatos



Evil deeds: Aristotle Kristatos (Julian Glover) is a deceiving and calculating criminal in For Your Eyes Only. Kristatos doubles as a friend to both England and Russia during the cold war. Kristatos, like Dr. Kananga in Live and Let Die runs a heroine smuggling operation, however, his main evil plot is to steal a British naval targeting system called the ATAc and give it to the Soviets. Kristatos beats his niece Bibi when she challenges him and orders his merciless goon, Emile Locque, to kill a countess who revealed Aristotle's plan to Bond. Kristatos earns villainy points for attempting to kill Bond his female associate Melina by dragging them through reef and shark infected waters.

Hurting His Cause: In For Your Eyes Only the plot centralizes on James Bond's investigation of the missing ATAC. Kristatos does not become a main character in the plot until mid way through the film and still does not appear to be the main villain until the final scenes. While his plan to give a British targeting system the Soviets, would give Russia a leg up in the cold war, Kristatos still is not quite as devious as the majority of Bond villains
