Raoul Silva (also known as Tiago Rodrigues) is a fictional character and the main antagonist in the 2012 James Bond film Skyfall.

A former MI6 agent, he turns to cyberterrorism and begins targeting the agency he used to work for as part of a plan to discredit and kill M, against whom he holds a homicidal grudge.

Upon taking Bond captive, Silva forces him at gunpoint to participate in a game of William Tell, in which the target is a shot glass of scotch balanced on Sevérine's head.

In the following Bond film, Spectre, Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Christoph Waltz) reveals that Silva had been a member of SPECTRE, a worldwide criminal organization, along with Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) and Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), the villains of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, respectively.

The scene in which Silva and Bond first meet attracted commentary among critics and fans alike for its homoerotic subtext.

[Director Sam Mendes] and I were discussing, there were so many scenes in which Bond goes mano-a-mano with the villain, whether it's Dr. No or Goldfinger or whatever, and there's been so many ways to a cat-and-mouse and intimidate Bond, and we thought, what would make the audience truly uncomfortable is sexual intimidation; playing the homoerotic card that is sort of always there subtextually with characters like Scaramanga in Man With the Golden Gun or Dr. No.
