Although not the best golf caddy in the world, Goldfinger's mute
Korean manservant, Odd Job, makes up for it in many other ways.

Odd Job an almost invulnerable opponent for 007. However, Bond's
quick thinking finally leads to his shocking end.

Personality
Odd Job was Goldfinger personal chauffeur, servant and assassin,
the multi-talented strongman was one of James Bond's toughest
opponents. His bowler's hat had a reinforced sharp steel brim,
he would use the hat as a weapon, throwing it at a victim, capable
of decapitating them. Odd Job was mute and had never been seen
speaking, however he could still understand Goldfinger's commands.
Involvement
Odd Job, appropriately named, was under Goldfinger's every command,
kind of like a trained poodle. His primary function was as Golfinger's
assassin and bodyguard, he was responsible for the death of Jill
and Tilly Masterson, Jill he painted gold and she died of skin
suffocation, Tilly was decapitated by Odd Job whilst being chased
outside Goldfinger's Swiss factory. In the vault at Fort Knox,
Odd Job was locked in with Bond and Kisch, who attempted to diffuse
the bomb, however he was killed by Odd Job who was protecting
Goldfinger's scheme. Odd Job was electrocuted by Bond with a cut
cable, when he grabbed for his hat which was embedded in the vault's
steel bars.
