Bond's fellow agent appears as an ally at Facility before emerging as the leader of Janus. Their pursuit ends at the antenna cradle.
Xenia Onatopp
Xenia is a skilled and dangerous Janus operative. Her Jungle confrontation brings heavy automatic fire and explosive attacks to the route through Cuba.

Boris knows GoldenEye's computer systems and works with Janus. His presence helps explain why Bond needs Natalya's skills to disrupt the operation.
Quick notes
- Bond and Natalya divide the work. James Bond handles the player's movement, shooting and gadgets, but Natalya Simonova supplies vital computer expertise.
- Trevelyan changes from partner to target. Alec Trevelyan first appears as Agent 006 during the Facility operation.
- Xenia, Boris and the other obstacles. Xenia Onatopp is a Janus lieutenant whose Jungle encounter brings heavy weapons into a confined route.
During an escort or defense mission, an ally's position is part of your route planning.
