The product of a German genetic experiment, Max Zorin is a psychopathic genius, with a daring plan to monopolise the world's computer market. He intends to destroy Silicon Valley through a tremendous earthquake which he will initiate. Like Goldfinger, his desire to win at everything brings 007 onto the scene, and showing his true character to his lover, Mayday, finally brings an end to his scheming.Most memorable quote: Mayday: Wow! What a view... Zorin: To a kill!PersonalityThe product of a cruel Nazi genetic experiment, Maxillium Zorin was born with an extraordinarily high IQ. His genius, however, came with a unstable psychopathic mentally. This did not stop Zorin from becoming a billionaire industrialist, as the head of Zorin Industries, and horse breeder, in fact the combination of his genius and utter madness is the defining force behind his successful. Zorin will not let anything stand in the way of his success cutting personal and business ties at any whim and with deadly force. He has the desire to win at everything and will use any means necessary to do so. This includes using a microchip on his horse Inferno to cheat at the horse race and insure his success. Zorin's initial alliance is to the KGB although his unstable behaviour means he is both the most successful and most unstable agent. Ultimately Zorin has no loyalty and with no feelings kills for business or simply for fun. SchemeZorin's KGB objectives are undermined by his reckless industrial and personal pursuits. His sloppy and suspect racing activities invited inquiry by the French Jockey Association, and his business ventures, like the takeover of Sutton Oil, have left him wide open for accusations of monopolising and the interest of the British secret service.Zorin plans to monopolise the world's computer market and gain control of the world's supply of microchips by destroying Silicon Valley. In Operation Mainstrike Zorin planned to use a huge explosion to flood the San Andreas Fault creating a tremendous earthquake that will flood Silicon Valley killing millions of people and totally destroying the American microchip manufacture.
Thus leaving him the sole manufacturer of microchips. In order to correctly place the necessary explosive it was necessary to take over the Sutton Oil Company and all the wells along the San Andreas Fault that they controlled.
Zorin's scheme is stopped by his personal bodyguard, Mayday, who he betrays. As Zorin attempts to escape in an airship he takes Stacy Sutton hostage but does not count on Bond tagging along for the ride. In an effort to kill Bond, Zorin steers the zeppelin over the Golden gate Bridge.
After Bond manages to secure them to the bridge Zorin attempts to take on Bond himself but ends up falling to his death. Headquarters
Zorin's main headquarters is a French chateau where he breeds horses and Dr. Carl Mortner undertakes his experiments with steroids and microchip technology. However, Zorin is also known to operate from several airships that he owns and act as something as a throwback to his Nazi origins.
"For centuries alchemists tried to make gold from base metals. Today, we make microchips from sillicon, which is common sand, but far better than gold. Now, for several years, we had a profitable partnership, you as manufacturers, while I acquired and passed on to you industrial information that made you competitive, succesful. We are now on the unique position to form an international cartel to control not only production, but distribution of these microchips. There is one obstacle - Sillicon Valley in San Francisco."
