Q (standing for Quartermaster), like M, is a job title rather than a name. He is the head of Q Branch, the fictional research and development division of the British Secret Service. He has two cats and is a gay, or bisexual, with an interest in men. Q has a sarcastic personality but is extremely intelligent and knows it. He’s put up with James Bond’s antics for years and nothing can shake him anymore. He’s notably witty and due to his job can be a little secretive. His real name is Ben.
