Fan Casting Quen Low in Portrait of a Lady

The head of Chinese intelligence, haunted by a jungle war he fought decades ago against a warlord whose son has now grown into a global threat. He despises Bond on principle—everywhere the British agent goes, death follows—but he is not a fool. When the evidence points toward Sir Henry, he swallows a lifetime of suspicion and grants Bond the one thing harder to give than trust: permission. His voice carries the gravel of old grief, and his eyes hold the memory of friends who did not return from the mission that made him.
