KABIRA, YUSEF

Contributed by: The James Bond Movie Encyclopedia by Steven Jay Rubin

Algerian boyfriend of Vesper Lynd (Eva Green)—the one she was trying to save by betraying Bond and MI6 in Casino Royale—portrayed by Simon Kassianides in Quantum of Solace. He was believed dead, washed up on a beach in Ibiza, but M (Dame Judi Dench) ordered a DNA check based on a lock of hair found in Vesper’s apartment. It was not Kabira.

He’s later revealed as an agent of Quantum, turning up in Kazan, Russia, ready to seduce another woman—in this case, Canadian intelligence operative Corrine (Stana Katic). Bond captures him and turns him over to MI6.
