M (James Bond)

M is the title and code letter for James Bond's boss and fictional head of the British Secret Intelligence Service or MI6. The title "M" is believed to derive from the first real life head of MI6, Mansfield Smith-Cumming, who used his initial "C" to indicate he had seen a paper and so became referred to as "C", a practice which carried on with his successors.
