Biography[]
Responsible for managing Phoenix International's Japanese properties, Mayhew was intimately involved in the organisation's scheme for world domination, dubbed "Operation Nightfire". He was responsible for procuring a vital component of the project – a missile guidance chip for the U.S. Space Defense Platform. The handover of the stolen chip, held during a lavish cover party at Rafael Drake's Austrian castle, was an unmitigated disaster. British and American agents James Bond and Zoe Nightshade interrupted the exchange and stole back the chip. Drake then threatened to kill Mayhew, whom he held responsible for the breach of security. Fearing for his safety, Mayhew contacted the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6), offering them vital information in exchange for protection and extraction by 007. Shortly afterwards, Mayhew's Japanese estate was assaulted by Phoenix-affiliated Yakuza; secretly assisted by his treacherous bodyguard Makiko Hayashi. After escorting Mayhew to a hidden safe room, Bond fought his way through the estate, cleaning up loose ends, rescuing Mayhew's servants, and obtaining a valuable file from his safe. As they attempted to escape from the estate, Mayhew was cut down by an assassin. The file subsequently led Bond to incriminating evidence Mayhew's office in the Tokyo Phoenix Building.
