Profile
Appearing only briefly, Tanner is present with Colthorpe when Bond arrives to get his briefing from M. Tanner only speaks two lines, mentioning that Francisco Scaramanga's fingerprints were on the letter that have been verified by the CIA. When he goes to tell Bond that the reason behind Scaramanga notifying him that he is a target is psychological, M gets impatient and tells them that they are dismissed.
