*Elektra Vavra King was the daughter of wealthy oil tycoon, Sir Robert King, but also a criminal mastermind associated with, Renard. The main antagonist in the 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, she was portrayed by French actress, Sophie Marceau, and also appeared in the film's accompanying novelisation penned by Raymond Benson as well as its video games. Elektra was a woman who was used to getting what she wants. She did not like to be resisted and will do anything to get her way, including using her charms, torturing and killing anyone who tries to stand in her way. She's also an excellent actress and tactician who passes for an innocent girl, when she was really the brains behind her operation. Elektra King, as portrayed by Sophie Marceau in "The World Is Not Enough," has brown, long hair, hazel green eyes, and a height of 5' 7¾" (1.72 m). A distinguishing feature is a missing right earlobe. Her weight is listed as 131 lbs. The film's costume designer, Lindy Hemming, emphasized Elektra's exoticism by dressing her in "luxuriant textiles". She is 28 years old.

Elektra is the daughter of Sir Robert King and his second wife. Her maternal background is of Azerbaijani descent; the family had fled the country immediately after the Soviet Union was established and relocated to England. Robert King's marriage had become a much noted affair as he managed to acquire his father-in-law's oil business and assimilate it into his own construction enterprise, forming the official King Industries.

Elektra's subsequent birth was also subject of much press coverage, foreshadowing much of the attention she would receive later on in her early adulthood. As the only daughter of a lucrative oil baron, Elektra had a privileged upbringing, becoming a tad bit spoiled in the process. She attended prestigious private schools around Europe and often spent summer vacationing with her maternal family in the Middle East. After college, Elektra decided to follow in her father's footsteps and join King Enterprises.

Much to the media's delight, Elektra's business affiliation and beauty made her a well known figure in the press. The fame eventually drew the attention of the anarchist Renard, who decided to kidnap her in a scheme to extort a large sum from her father. Sir Robert refused to pay the ransom on the advice of family friend (and James Bond's boss) M. Embittered, she became Renard's lover and participated in his scheme to extort money from her family (going so far as to mutilate her own right ear to detonate with her father’s pin murder him so Renard could send it to her father as a warning) but pretended to have been traumatized by the kidnapping. (Bond thought she suffered from Stockholm syndrome, but may have been blinded by his affection for her).

In 1999, Elektra secretly collaborated with Renard to blow up her family's oil pipeline, becoming Bond's lover to throw off suspicion. When Renard publicly threatened to destroy the pipeline, however, she showed her true colors and kidnapped M, whom she blamed for her father's betrayal in not paying her ransom years earlier. Her plan was minutes away from completion when Bond stormed her hideout. Soon Bond and Christmas Jones are captured by Elektra's henchmen. Christmas is taken aboard the submarine, which was seized by Renard's men. Bond is taken to the tower, where Elektra tortures him in a Antique Torture Chair. During said torment, Elektra taunts and seduces Bond, insisting that she had a certain power that no man could resist, and that Bond's affection for her had been his undoing. Bond denied that Elektra ever meant anything to him, even as Elektra slowly but steadily brought him closer to death.
