Ranking EVERY James Bond Henchman From Worst To Best

Described quite simply as "that slimy bugger" by M, Dimitrios is a perfectly serviceable early-film henchman, representing a new, edgier tone for the Daniel Craig era.

As a third-party criminal middleman tasked with hiring nefarious rogues for terrorist acts, he's immune from Le Chiffre's apparent policy against outshining the blood-eyed baddie. Good thing, too, as Dimitrios appears in a couple of unforgettable sequences in Craig's prestigious debut.

Fans will remember Dimitrios as the owner of a "rather beautiful" Aston Martin in the Bahamas, which James Bond wins in a hotel poker game. 007 even has the audacity of asking for the valet ticket - forcing a fuming Dimitrios to hand it over before attending to more urgent business.

It's this mysterious business that Bond is interested in, however. He's able to determine that the malevolent middleman is embroiled in an upcoming terrorist plot at Miami Airport - after seducing Dimitrios' girlfriend.

Fresh off the humiliating double-whammy of losing his wheels and his girl, then, Dimitrios is finally dispatched in a knife duel before his body is sat down in public - masked by a busy casino thoroughfare.

Though he's merely an appetizer before the main course of Le Chiffre, the slimy bugger oozes menace.
