He retires there with a younger woman named Gemma.īond eventually shows up at Mathis' door, looking for information about the organization behind Le Chiffre.

After Vesper is revealed as the traitor, M says that her treason at least proves Mathis' innocence, but Bond insists that he still may have worked for Le Chiffre, and to 'keep sweating him'.Īfter he is found innocent, the British government buys Mathis a villa in Italy and a private jet, presumably to keep him from suing and revealing state secrets. Later, after Le Chiffre is killed and Bond and Vesper rescued, Bond tells MI-6 authorities that Mathis is a traitor, and they arrest and torture him.

When Le Chiffre takes Bond and Vesper prisoner later that night, he gloats that 'your friend Mathis is really my friend Mathis,' meaning that Mathis is in his pocket. That night, Mathis watches with Vesper as Bond beats Le Chiffre in a high stakes game of poker. The following day, he plants the corpses of warlord Steven Obanno and his henchmen, killed by Bond the night before, in Le Chiffre's henchman's car, resulting in the man's arrest.

They then watch with amusement as Mathis has the chief arrested using Photoshopped evidence. Mathis first appears when welcoming James Bond and Vesper Lynd to Montenegro, explaining to them that Le Chiffre has bribed the police chief.
