11 Q is the head of Q Branch in 007 First Light, the MI6 division that designs and supplies Bond's gadgets. He is portrayed by Alastair Mackenzie. In this game's continuity, Q is depicted as a working engineer rather than a quirky stage presence: he hands off gadgets personally, runs technical briefings, and explains the engineering rationale behind each device.

Briefings are technical rather than theatrical, with Q walking through how each device works and the operational constraints that shape its design. The performance carries warmth and dry wit without leaning into clownish gadget-show framing.
