Film biography
Dawes becomes one of the three British agents killed on the orders of Dr. Kananga the Prime Minister of San Monique (with Solitaire in tow) prompting M to send Bond to investigate. As Dawes, representing the United Kingdom, watches the U.N meeting, an assassin (unseen by the translator for Canada, America, Australia, New Zealand, Britain and the Irish Republic), breaks into the translation office and removes Dawes' earpiece receiver, replacing it with a plunger device that sends an excruciatingly painful ultrasonic whine to Dawes through his earpiece. Dawes is killed instantly.
