	Games - Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov

Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov is a fictional character in the James Bond film GoldenEye, played by Gottfried John.

General Ourumov is a former Soviet Colonel in charge of a Russian chemical weapons factory seen in the pre-title sequence. It is there that he interrupts Bond and Alec Trevelyan in the middle of a mission, shoots Trevelyan in the head and nearly captures Bond, who nurtures a grudge against the colonel for years afterward, believing that he killed his partner and friend.

The shooting was staged though, Trevelyan lives and becomes an international terrorist and thief called "Janus." He employs the now-General Ourumov, who is in charge of the Severnaya Space Facility in Siberia, to help him steal the GoldenEye satellite. Ourumov accompanies Xenia Zaragevna Onatopp to Severnaya, where she murders all the staff she can find. Ourumov later reports to Dmitri Mishkin, who informs him that Severnaya technician Natalya Fyodorovna Simonova has escaped. He arranges for Boris Grishenko to meet and kidnap her.

Upon hearing that Mishkin has Bond and Natalya in custody, Ourumov storms into the cell wherein Mishkin is interrogating the pair. Ourumov shoots Mishkin using Bond's gun to make it look like 007 shot Mishkin, and then attempts to kill him and Natalya to make it seem they were killed while trying to escape. Natalya tries to escape, but is caught by Ouromov’s men. In the following sequence Bond drives a Russian tank through the streets of St. Petersburg following Ouromov’s car, leaving behind a path of destruction. Ourumov boards Trevelyan's armoured train, taking Natalya with him. Bond parks his tank in the path of the train and brings the train to a halt. Bond boards the train, and after holding Trevelyan and Onatopp at gunpoint, he demands Natalya's release. Ourumov is killed when Trevelyan and Onatopp make the General into a sacrificial lamb, throwing him in the path of Bond's machine gun so they can escape.

Ourumov in GoldenEye 007 video game

In GoldenEye 007, a video game for Nintendo 64 based on the movie, Ourumov appears in a number of the game's missions, initially when the then-Colonel murders 006, another in which Bond infiltrates a Russian facilty in Kyrgyzstan to investigate an unscheduled test firing of a missile, believed to be a cover for the launch of a GoldenEye satellite, and lastly in a mission aboard Janus' armoured train, where the General is holding Natalya Simonova at gunpoint. As in the movie, Bond shoots the General while in the train, thus saving the life of Miss Simonova.
