Mollaka
Context
The 2006 movie Casino Royale was widely hailed as a better, much more modern take on James Bond – now played by Daniel Craig.
Its intro sequence featured the athletic talents of Sébastien Foucan, one of the founders of parkour urban acrobatics.
Since I grew up in the birthplace of parkour, I kinda have to write his character up. Another founder of the discipline, David Belle, also has an entry for his Leito character in District B13 and Brick Mansions.

Powers and Abilities
Mollaka is a world-class parkour traceur, running exceptionally fast. His parkour skills make it easy to lose almost any pursuer.
He also has assorted agent skills such as martial arts, bomb-making, gunfighting, etc.
History
Mollaka (first name unknown) is encountered in Madagascar. He is being shadowed by Bond and his co-agent Carter at a mongoose/cobra fight at an abandoned hotel. Due to a foolish mistake made by Carter Mollaka catches on.
He leads Bond on a high speed footchase through the jungle and through a construction site. He reaches the Nambutu Embassy, where he works as an employee.
Bond follows him into the embassy where he incapacitates him and attempts to take him into custody. Bond finds himself surrounded by Nambutu troops. He is forced to kill Mollaka by shooting him in the chest and escaping under the cover of an explosion.
The sequence thus ends in failure, since the British agents were attempting to get intelligence out of Mollaka by either shadowing him or taking him alive.
Description
Mollaka has extensive scarring on his hands and the side of his face, the marks of an explosive that detonated prematurely.

Personality
Well, it wasn’t a role with actual lines and such…
Mollaka may be highly acrobatic, but he also seems cautious and to live on the edge. If something looks wrong he’ll assume several armed men are out to get him and do his — considerable — best to lose them.

While his Running Power does not usually help him it can, as a Power, be Pushed if Mollaka needs that extra bit of running speed. Like he did when Bond chased him with the Cat engine.
