The Man With Gift Bag is a minor character in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace, and was played by Christian Heller,

The man is spotted by Bond at the Tosca performance near Lake Constance. Quantum members are given a special gift bag from under the table by the staff, unlike other guests who received bags indiscriminately from on top of the table. This captures Bond’s attention, and he follows the man into the bathroom. Moments later Bond is seen looking through the man’s gift bag, and finds among the contents a lapel pin in the shape of the letter Q and an earpiece. Bond puts on the earpiece and exits, breaking the door handle.

The man is then shown, without his eyeglasses and unmoving, presumably dead in the bathroom. He later turns out to have been a Quantum member. From high vantage point overlooking the audience, Bond uses unnamed Quantum member’s earpiece to spy on a secret and otherwise undetectable meeting between major Quantum masterminds. The importance of the unnamed Quantum member in the organisation is not specified, but he is presumably significant as bodyguards are not seen putting on earpieces.
