Ernst Stavro Blofeld is a fictional character from the James Bond universe. He is the archenemy of the British Secret Service agent James Bond and head of the evil terrorist organization SPECTRE.
Blofeld usually appears accompanied by a white Persian cat in the films (but not in the novels). It was also briefly a trademark of the Bond films not to show Blofeld's face, only a closeup of Blofeld stroking his cat. This "trademark" was later broken in the film You Only Live Twice and subsequent films. It was also mimicked in the animated series Inspector Gadget, and spoofed in Austin Powers.
Blofeld appears in six official James Bond movies as well as Never Say Never Again, the 1983 remake of Thunderball, which makes him the most persistent and arguably greatest of James Bond's enemies.

1 Based on 2006 Consumer Price Index (http://www.bls.gov/cpi/).
* Figure as of Mon., January 15th (source - BoxOfficeMojo.com, Variety.com). This will increase as Casino Royale is still in cinema release in most countries and has yet to open in others.
** Estimate based on average ticket price of $6.58 (source - BoxOfficeMojo.com).
Note: Casino Royale (1967, David Niven) and Never Say Never Again (1983, Sean Connery) are excluded, because they are not EON Productions films, hence not of the "official" series. See below for more information.
