"I suppose our friend Mr. White will have told you that I have provided reliable banking services for many other freedom fighters over the years
"Do you believe in God, Mr. Le Chiffre
"No. I believe in a reasonable rate of return." 

This great 8x10 of Le Chiffre  and Mr White from the opening scenes of 2006's Casino Royale has been signed by both Mads Mikkelsen and Jasper Christensen. This scene depicts our first introduction to the characters - with Mr. White acting as an intermediary between Quantum and LRA commander Steven Obanno. White introduces Obanno to Le Chiffre, and arranges for Le Chiffre to bank $101,206,000 for Obanno. Le Chiffre loses this money, due to Bond's intervention, and plans to cover the loss by winning up to $150 million at the Casino Royale tournament, hoping to do so before Mr. White and Obanno discover he has lost the funds.

Le Chiffre is the main villain of the official 2006 James Bond film, Casino Royale, portrayed by Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen. Mr White is a villainous deal-maker, and the front for an unknown organization who prefer not to be the centre of attention. Le Chiffre employs a platinum, benzedrine inhaler; not for any form of medication, but because benzedrine is a type of amphetamine. He suffers from Haemolacria, which causes him to cry blood. A banker for various terrorists and uses Alex Dimitrios, a government contractor, as a middle-man for many of his jobs. Believed by MI6 to be born in Albania, Le Chiffre is a mathematical genius and a chess prodigy. His mathematical abilities enable him to earn large sums of money on games of chance and probabilities, and he likes to show off by playing poker.

Le Chiffre works with a man known as Mr. White, who is a representative of an unnamed terrorist organization. White introduces Steven Obanno, a feared leader of the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda to Le Chiffre, and arranges to bank US$101,260,000 for Obanno. Le Chiffre invests the money in an aircraft manufacturer's stock and plans to short the stock by ordering the destruction of the company's new prototype airliner, set to make its first flight out of Miami International Airport. Bond intervenes and foils the plan, costing Le Chiffre the entire investment.

In order to win the money back for Obanno, Le Chiffre sets up and enters a high stakes Texas hold 'em tournament in Montenegro at the Casino Royale in an attempt to recoup the loss before Obanno learns that his money has been misappropriated. Bond is sent to make sure that Le Chiffre does not win back the money. The reasoning is to force Le Chiffre to turn to MI6 for protection, in exchange for information on his creditors and employers. During the tournament, an enraged Obanno and one of his henchmen break into Le Chiffre's hotel room and threaten him and his girlfriend, Valenka. After administering a savage beating, the men give him one last chance to win their money back. However, as they leave the room, the henchman spots Bond; in the subsequent brawl, 007 kills both Obanno and his henchman........
