Brad Whitaker
Brad Whitaker is a fictional character in the James Bond film ''The Living Daylights''. He was portrayed by American actor Joe Don Baker. Baker also played in his last two Bond films as Jack Wade, Bond's CIA contact in Pierce Brosnan's first two films, ''GoldenEye'' and ''Tomorrow Never Dies''. Steven Rubin describes Whitaker as a "smarmy bad-guy arms trader."
==Background==
Brad Whitaker is an international black market arms dealer. He is fascinated by war, but his actual military career is a failure, so he turns to arms dealing to organize his own personal military force. Expelled from West Point for cheating, he spends a short stint as a mercenary in the Belgian Congo before starting to work with various other criminal organisations that would help organise his very first arms deals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brad Whitaker )〕 He loves military history and it is implied that he wargames various historical conflicts using automated miniature figures and effects, such as the battles of Agincourt, Waterloo, and Gettysburg. In a conversation with Bond during the confrontation, Whitaker believes that Pickett's Charge should have been made up Little Round Top and that if Ulysses S. Grant was in charge of the Union at Gettysburg, he would have crushed the Army of Northern Virginia, thus ending the battle. He says "Meed Should have taken another 35,000 dead at Gettysburg!".
Whitaker has a personal pantheon of "great military commanders" in his headquarters, which includes some of history's most famous and infamous figures, such as Adolf Hitler, Napoleon Bonaparte, Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Oliver Cromwell, and Attila the Hun. Whitaker holds these men in high regard and calls them "surgeons who removed society's dead flesh". All representations of these "surgeons" (or "butchers" as Bond's ally, Pushkin, describes them) are sculpted to resemble Whitaker himself, which is highly noticeable when Whitaker hides among the statues waiting for Pushkin to visit him.
