| Name: | Alan Blunt |
| Description: | head of the M16 special operations |
| Book List: | Alex Rider |
Alan Blunt is the head of MI6 Special Operations. He is an aloof, impassive, and ruthless man. He is known for wearing a grey suit and grey glasses, and driving a Rolls-Royce. He is married, but his wife is not mentioned in the series. Blunt is dedicated to his job and has a very analytical mind. Like many spy-masters in popular culture, Blunt is portrayed as being emotionally unattached to anything he does and whatever means he uses.
After Alan Blunt dismissed Alex Rider's suspicions of Damian Cray and his attempt to destroy half the world, he was severely humiliated and was only narrowly able to keep his position. He insists on Alex's continued use despite of his youthfulness, the death of his uncle in an intelligence case, and the fact that he has encountered near death more times than most intelligence agents would be expected to in their careers.
In the film he is played by Bill Nighy.
