Info: By the time the main story from GoldenEye takes place, Ourumov is a General and the Russian head of the space division. Previously, he was a former Soviet Colonel in charge of a Russian chemical weapons factory in the pre-title sequence. It is there that he interrupts Bond and Alec Trevelyan in the middle of a mission, shoots Trevelyan in the head and nearly captures Bond, who nurtures a grudge against the colonel for years afterward, believing that he killed his partner and friend.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The shooting was staged though, Trevelyan lives and becomes an international terrorist and thief called "Janus." He employs the now-General Ourumov, who is in charge of the Severnaya Space Facility in Siberia, to help him steal the GoldenEye satellite. Ourumov accompanies Xenia Onatopp to Severnaya, where she murders all the staff she can find. Ourumov later reports to Dmitri Mishkin, who informs him that the Severnaya incident was the work of Siberian separatists and that only one computer technician, Boris Grishenko, was missing. Mishkin criticises Ourumov for coming to such a fast conclusion when unbeknownst to Ourumov, Natalya Simonova also lived and escaped the incident.
Later, upon hearing that Mishkin has Bond and Natalya in custody, Ourumov storms into the cell wherein Mishkin is interrogating the pair. Ourumov shoots Mishkin using Bond's gun to make it look like 007 shot Mishkin, and then attempts to kill him and Natalya to make it seem they were killed while trying to escape. Although they both escape the cell, Natalya is eventually captured by Ouromov's men. In the following sequence Bond drives a Russian tank through the streets of St. Petersburg following Ouromov's car, leaving behind a path of destruction. Ourumov boards Trevelyan's armoured train, taking Natalya with him. Bond parks his tank in the path of the train and brings the train to a halt. Bond boards the train, and after holding Trevelyan and Onatopp at gunpoint, he demands Natalya's release. Ourumov is killed when Trevelyan and Onatopp make the General into a sacrificial lamb, throwing him in the path of Bond's machine gun so they can escape. [edit]
Ourumov in GoldenEye 007 video game
In GoldenEye 007, a video game for Nintendo 64 based on the movie, Ourumov appears in a number of the game's missions, initially when the then-Colonel murders 006, another in which Bond infiltrates a Russian facilty in Kyrgyzstan to investigate an unscheduled test firing of a missile, believed to be a cover for the launch of a GoldenEye satellite, and lastly in a mission aboard Janus' armoured train, where the General is holding Natalya Simonova at gunpoint. As in the movie, Bond shoots the General while in the train, thus saving the life of Miss Simonova.
