Biography: Nick Nack is an all-round personal assistant to Francisco Scaramanga, acting as butler, housekeeper, and chef, as well as a henchman to Scaramanga’s criminal activities. After his master’s defeat and death, Nick Nack tries to kill Bond and Mary Goodnight on the junk and after a short fight, Bond stuffed him in a suitcase and locked him in a wooden cage.

A distinctive feature of Nick Nack was his height, standing only 1.18 metres (3’11”) tall.

Although Nick Nack is very loyal to Scaramanga, at times he would hire other assassins to kill him. Scaramanga tolerates it as a means to practice his skills, but Nick Nack is also the sole heir to Scaramanga’s estate; if the assassin succeeds, then Nick Nack would inherit everything. After Scaramanga’s demise, Nick Nack is captured by Bond; his current status is unknown.
