Ernst Stavro Blofeld
Ernst Stavro Blofeld is a Polish fictional character and a supervillain from the James Bond series of novels and films . As head of the organization, Blofeld is commonly referred to as Number 1, an official numerical position given to members of SPECTRE. Blofeld is also, arguably, the primary antagonist of the entire James Bond franchise.
Blofeld appears or is heard in three novels: Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and You Only Live Twice; and six official James Bond films: From Russia with Love (1963), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) and Diamonds Are Forever (1971) and his final appearance is the pre-title teaser of For Your Eyes Only (1981). He also appears in Never Say Never Again, the 1983 remake of Thunderball.
He was played on screen by Donald Pleasence, Telly Savalas, Charles Gray and Max von Sydow, among others. It was initially a convention of the films not to show Blofeld's face, only a closeup of him stroking his white Persian cat.
