Personality
Q would fit the description of a mad inventor, he has a rather short temper towards James Bond's juvenile and cavalier attitude towards his gadgets. He has a poor sense in fashion, and often prefers to wear his white lab coat, he also appears to have no interests in women, as was displayed during the Octopussy mission when he was being crowded over with women, he seemed to have no time for their games. Q appears to have a very limited sense of humour apart from the odd remark or practical joke. His only interest seems to be working and inventing gadgets for MI6, he is a very loyal ally to Her Majesty The Queen.

Involvement
Q has been fitting out 00 agents with bizarre and often very useful gadgets ever since the first mission - Dr No. Several times Q has been sent out on the field, on the Thunderball mission he was sent to the Bahamas, he also personally delivered Little Nellie to Bond in Japan. On one rare occasion has Q actually had fun on a field assignment to Las Vegas, where he used a gadget to give himself instant pay outs on the slot machines. On three occasions Q has set up a makeshift laboratory during The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker and Octopussy.
