Boris Grishenko
Goldeneye


Status:
Name: Boris Grishenko
Actor: Alan Cumming
Age: 20's
Weight: Classified
Height: 5' 9 1/2" [1]
Info:He is a brilliantly talented computer programmer and cracker who has hacked the United States Department of Justice. He is also backstabbing and arrogant. He often shouts "I am invincible!" whenever he succeeds.

Boris works at the Severnaya observatory in Siberia which watches over the two weapons satellites, Petya and Mischa. Boris left the observatory for a cigarette only minutes before its destruction by the Petya satellite.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

He had actually slipped away and flew off with General Arkady Ouromov and Xenia Onatopp, having allied himself with Alec Trevelyan to steal the GoldenEye satellite. His main purpose with Janus is to operate the GoldenEye satellite in exchange for a share of the profits.

Boris helps his comrades kidnap Natalya Simonova, the only other survivor of the attack on Severnaya.

While attempting to crack the access codes for the GoldenEye, he obtains a grenade disguised as a pen from Bond's wide arsenal of gadgets. The explosive properties of the pen are unknown to him. The pen needs to be clicked three times to arm the grenade, and an additional three times to disarm it, which Boris does out of a nervous habit. Bond knocks the pen out of his hand leading to an explosion that destroys much of the control center, giving Bond and Natalya a perfect opportunity to escape.

After the satellite control room is destroyed, Boris is amazed to see he managed to survive the incident, prompting him to jump up and shout his trademark exclamation ("I am invincible!") — at which point a vat of liquid nitrogen explodes, freezing him. Whether he actually survives this experience is never revealed in the film.

Boris in GoldenEye 007 video game

Boris appears twice in GoldenEye 007, a video game for the Nintendo 64 based on the movie. The first time the player meets him is in the Severnaya observatory, where he is simply known as "Programmer". The player coerces him into disabling the security on a mainframe. This event does not occur in the movie, as Bond never goes to the observatory in Severnaya in the movie.

The next time the player sees him is in the satellite control center. When they meet, Boris fumbles with a PP7, then begs for his life claiming "Trevelyan made me do it!" If the player waits a moment, Boris will run away shouting his trademark line from the movie, "I am invincible!" This, like the player's previous encounter with him, is exclusive to the game. If Boris is killed in this scene, Natalya gets angry with Bond and refuses to operate the computer. As a result, the mission is failed.

Boris is also playable as a multiplayer character.
