Ian Fleming, while in the Royal Naval Intelligence, was instrumental in recruiting Crowley to get Rudolf Hess to drop into England which resulted in his capture and interrogation in the London Tower. I guess the Raiders of the Lost Ark wasn't too far off with the Nazi's superstitions...

He used Crowley as the template for his first villain Le Ciffre in Casino Royale, his first James Bond book (corpulent body and general demeanor). Le Ciffre is French for "the cypher".

"He always struck me as a villain." -- Fleming
(quoted from a foggy memory)

"Rudolf Hess arrived in Scotland on May 10th, 1941, reported in the popular press by May 13th.

PIC: letter from Aleister Crowley to Ian Fleming, May 14 [1941?]"
