The 007 First Light Characters
Rather than one flat list, we file the 007 First Light characters the way MI6 would — by allegiance. Below are the agents and allies on Bond's side, the antagonists working against him, the supporting cast, and the real-world cameos, each with the voice actor who plays them. Where a role rests on a single report we mark it; story twists stay sealed in the Classified Files further down.

Rumor CheckVerdict: Fake
Is the Chris Chan cameo in 007 First Light real?
No. A screenshot from X user @WiggerMaggot claiming Chris Chan (Christine Weston Chandler) appears as a cameo in 007 First Light went viral, but the image is fake — most likely AI-generated, and was debunked by outlets covering the game.
Chris Chan is not in the official 007 First Light cast or cameo list. The genuine cameos are the creators and musicians above — like the DJ duo Chase & Status shown here. We don't reproduce the faked screenshot.

Classified Character Files
Spoilers and unconfirmed details about the 007 First Light characters live here — including the rogue agent at the heart of the plot. Nothing below is shown until you open it, and where sources disagree we say so instead of guessing. Tap a file to declassify it.
Agent 009 — identity revealed, voice still classified
Post-launch, 009 is no longer a mystery: he is Rhys Beckett, a former MI6 Double-O framed over Operation Nightfall, and his full story — including his fate in Aleph — is on the 009 character page (/characters/009). The one thing that genuinely stays classified is who voices him: IO Interactive still has not credited an actor for the role. We will name them here the moment an official credit appears.
🔒REVEALED POST-LAUNCH███████████████████████████Does John Greenway turn on Bond?Declassify ▸Reseal ▾
Does John Greenway turn on Bond?
No. Post-launch, the pre-release "mentor-antagonist" framing did not hold up: John Greenway never betrays Bond — he stays MI6 to the end. What actually happens to him is sadder, and a real spoiler; we cover his full role and fate on the John Greenway character page (/characters/greenway).

One source reports that Ms. Roth also goes by an alias; other cast lists don't mention it. Treat it as a single-source detail until a second source confirms.

Bawma's full role
Beyond being an antagonist connected to the Aleph black market, Bawma's specific story role is something guides say is best discovered in-game, and one source explicitly held it for post-launch.

007 First Light Characters FAQ
Who plays James Bond in 007 First Light?
[ + ][ – ]
James Bond is played by Patrick Gibson, who portrays a younger, pre-00 version of the character at the centre of this 007 First Light origin story.
Who voices M, Q and Moneypenny in 007 First Light?
[ + ][ – ]
Among the core MI6 characters, M is played by Priyanga Burford, Q by Alastair Mackenzie, and Miss Moneypenny by Kiera Lester — the team Bond reports to and works alongside.
Who is the villain in 007 First Light?
[ + ][ – ]
The most prominent named antagonist is Bawma, played by Lenny Kravitz, who is tied to the Aleph black market. Several guides also describe a former MI6 agent that Bond must hunt as the story's central antagonist; that character's casting has not been officially revealed, so we keep their identity off the main cast list.
Is John Greenway a villain in 007 First Light?
[ + ][ – ]
No. John Greenway (Lennie James) is Bond's mentor and a former 00 agent, and he does not betray Bond — the pre-launch "mentor-antagonist" rumour didn't hold up. See the John Greenway character guide (/characters/greenway) for his full role and fate.

[ + ][ – ]
Yes. Real-world figures appear in cameo roles, including Khaby Lame, JackSepticEye, Shroud, Dimitri Vegas and Chase & Status.
Is the Chris Chan cameo in 007 First Light real?
[ + ][ – ]
No. A screenshot posted by X user @WiggerMaggot claiming Chris Chan (Christine Weston Chandler) appears in 007 First Light went viral, but the image is fake — most likely AI-generated — and was debunked by outlets covering the game. Chris Chan is not in the official 007 First Light cast or cameo list.
How many characters does 007 First Light have?
