Lieutenant-Colonel Thompson Calvin Colton 13th Baronet Southumberland DSO OBE MM Bt. is the main character of Thompson Colton: Agent of MI3. All episodes and specials involve his character in the primary spot. As Double-O Eleven, he is one of the many distinguished British Intelligence agents that are licensed to carry out kills. However, he was transferred to MI3 to provide the service with more agents, due to two factors: a limit of 00 agents in MI6 and the fact that it would be cheaper having more 00-agents in other agencies.

He eventually is promoted back to MI6, during the events of Destination Montenegro.

Bio

He was born on October 29, 1929 to Hobbes Brown Colton and Mary Stewart Colton in a decent family mansion in Southumberland. His father, Hobbes Colton, participated in covert missions in Bulgaria in WWII. After a mission striking at the Ardennes, he was never seen again, leaving Colton with only his mother. He studied in a private grammar school and graduated to Wellington, where he was a member of the rugby and football teams. Following that, he enlisted in the British Army as a Warrant Officer, where he participated in the Zangmurid Reconstruction War, where he received the MM.

He rose through the ranks, and was made a Captain by the time he led an elite operation during the War in Serendipigal, where he first met Commandant Bushkov, who gave him infamous scar. His efforts during the war made him a candidate to be drafted into MI6. After a series of grueling tests, he was eventually made a junior field operative in 1958. He would only be four years in the service before two assassinations granted him 00 status. However, roughly a year later, he was transferred to Military Intelligence Department 3 due to financing problems, and came under the command of C.

Thompson Colton began a partnership with French agent Marriane Suzzette, which began as a love-hate relationship of uneasy chat and distrust. However, across the many missions that the duo have embarked on as the agencies' best, they have grown closer and eventually developed a romantic relationship. Colton was well-liked, resulting in most members of the intelligence community having something or other to do with him. Childhood friend and American agent Sykes Fairbanks often assisted Colton and Suzette on their dangerous endeavors, being a master of technology and communications. Colton also worked closely with MI6 agent James Bond, 007, on a number of occasions as well.

An early mission with his 00 status involved the capture of the Ma Ek Guvyin device, an immensely powerful electromagnetic device. This incident would have large ramifications through the years. In his time, Thompson Colton has prevented revolutions, arrested many murderers, and rediscovered missing test missiles. One of his larger opponents is the organization known as S.C.E.P.T.E.R., headed by the elusive Trenchcoat. However, his most deadly enemy is the failed genetics project known as Free Radical. On one occasion, Free Radical had tried to eliminate ten government figures, an another time, attacked some of 0011's closest friends, and boss, trying to "break" him. Colton just stopped himself from killing Free Radical.

At times, his licence to kill has been revoked. Once, he was framed for charges of police brutality, and was not condoned when he pursued the man who framed him, a German colonel who resented his humiliation at the hand of then Captain Colton. On another occasion, 0011 was brainwashed into assassinating C, and had to kill a hitman to get his 00 status back.

Personality and traits

Thompson Colton is a relatively "cold" character, usually not having qualms about killing in the line of duty. However, when he is off-duty, he is considerably more
