Elektra is the daughter of Sir Robert King, she was kidnapped as a teenager by the terrorist Renard, and her father refused to pay the ransom, she became Renard's lover and participated in his scheme to bilk money from her family (going so far as to mutilate her ear so Renard could send it to her father as a warning) but pretended to have been traumatized by the kidnapping.
Ten years later, she secretly collaborated with Renard to blow up her family's oil pipeline, becoming Bond's lover to throw off suspicion. When Renard publicly threatened to destroy the pipeline, however, she showed her true colors and kidnapped M, whom she blamed for her father's betrayal in not paying her ransom years earlier. Her plan was minutes away from completion when Bond stormed her hideout and, after a tense confrontation, shot and killed her.
