For England, James?
No, for me.
-Alec Trevelyan and James Bond

Alec Trevelyan was a former 00 Agent and head of the Janus Crime Syndicate. He serves as the primary villain of the 1995 film Goldeneye and was portrayed by British actor Sean Bean.

Janus

In 1986, 006 was paired with 007 and the two were tasked with destroying the Soviet Arkangelsk chemical weapons facility. It was on this mission, conspiring with Soviet Colonel Arkady Ourumov, that Trevelyan staged his own death. In the course of the mission, the two are surrounded and 006 is supposedly taken prisoner at gunpoint. Under the pretense of allowing 007 to surrender, Ourumov gave him ten seconds to come out. On reaching one, Alec was shot.


Bond escaped the facility shortly afterwards and succeeded in destroying the facility by setting limpet mines with a three minute fuse. Trevelyan had not anticipated that Bond would change the detonation fuse from the agreed upon six minutes. Although he narrowly escaped death, the right half his face was left horribly disfigured by the explosion.


Now supposedly dead, he founded a criminal organization under the pseudonym of Janus (the two headed Roman god of beginnings and endings) and set in motion a plan to take revenge against Britain. His scheme involved hijacking a secret Soviet space weapon, codenamed Goldeneye. With the weapon's control key in his possession and a duplicate control center in Cuba, Trevalyan planned to steal billions of dollars from the Bank of England and transfer the money to other organizations before erasing all of its financial records with an electromagnetic pulse generated by the GoldenEye satellite, concealing the theft and destroying Britain's economy.

Reunion

Trevelyan reveals himself to Bond.


Assigned to investigate the detonation of one of the two GoldenEye satellites, Bond travels to St. Petersburg, Russia in search of the culprits. Through ex-KGB operative, Valantine, he arranges a meeting with representatives of the Janus crime syndicate, unaware that it is headed by his former colleague. After a tense reunion, 007 and Natalia (a witness to Trevelyan's scheme) are bound and placed in a stolen helicopter rigged to destroy itself. They narrowly escape using the aircraft's ejection system and are captured by the Russian authorities.


After attempting to frame Bond for the murder of a Russian government official, General Ourumov is ordered by Trevelyan to kidnap Simonova and rendezvous at his armored train. Despite initially escaping, Bond manages to intercept the train and derails it using a Russian T-54 tank. Boarding the train, Trevelyan traps Bond for a second time in one of the carriages.

"Good luck with the floor, James. I've set the timer for six minutes, the same six minutes you gave me. It was the least I could do for a 'friend'."― Trevelyan taunts Bond over the loudspeaker.

Blaming Bond for his disfigurement, Trevelyan sadistically informs him that the carriage is rigged to explode and wishes him luck cutting his way out. The timer had been set for the same amount of time Bond had given him to escape; exactly three minutes.

The downfall of Trevelyan

Before escaping the train, Bond and Simonova trace the location of the GoldenEye control antenna to Cuba. Infiltrating Trevelyan's control facility, the two split up; Bond attempting to plant explosives and Simonova hacking the GoldenEye's guidance systems. Shortly after completing their objectives they are captured and brought to Trevelyan. Using his experience as a 00 operative, he casually disarms Bond's limpet mines. However, unbeknownst to Trevelyan, his programmer Boris Grishenko had begun fumbling with an explosive pen which Bond had been provided with by Q-branch. He unknowingly detonates the pen, destroying the computer controls and several fuel tanks; providing the distraction for Bond's escape.


Trevelyan hangs over the Uplink Dish.


Leaving Boris in the unenviable position of attempting to reverse Natalya's interference at gunpoint, Trevelyan proceeds to the Antenna itself to activate the satellite manually. 007 pursues him and he uses an escape ladder to avoid being shot but at risk of falling off the antenna meanwhile Alec Trevelyan watching James calls for a helicopter to come pick him up the two fight directly over the dish. Alec uses stealth to attack James and they battle viciously.


Alec uses ninjujutsu and Capoeira moves, and also makes three attempts at shooting the 00 agent. They also use a chain against each other and resort to close-quarters jujitsu and Capoeira fighting styles, and Bond begins to lose to Trevelyan. Alec then intensifies his attacks and near breaks several bones in his attempts at killing the 00 agent. He eventually manages to corner Bond against a wall, but Bond fights back and Trevelyan throws him over a table. he fight ends with Trevelyan holding Bond at gunpoint. Exhausted, bloodied and virtually disabled by the duel, Trevelyan goads to James that he was always a better fighter than him. Bond tries to escape just as Trevelyan tries to shoot him. He ends up hanging directly from the antennae. Trevelyan calls for a helicopter then goes down. Bond and Alec fight continuously, which ends with Alec choking James, smiling maniacally. Just as the helicopter pilot is taken prisoner by Natalya Simonova, James uses the distraction to outthink and overpower Trevelyan. Losing his footing, Trevelyan falls but is grabbed by Bond.

Trevelyan: "[hanging over the dish] For England, James? "Bond: "No. For me. [lets go of Trevelyan's boot] "―Bond and Trevelyan's last exchange.

In revenge for Trevelyan's callous betrayal, letting go of Trevelyan's boot, 007 sends him plummeting to the dish below. Although barely clinging to life after the initial fall, the falling debris from the disintegrating structure above finishes the job by crushing him to death. Later, the entire base explodes, killing Boris Grishenko and the rest of the Janus Crime Syndicate. This time, Alec Trevelyan, 006, double agent, evil genius and James Bond's old friend and teammate stays dead.
