Krest, Milton



Milton Krest, is one of the many henchmen under Franz Sanchez's employ, he uses his shark hunter to retrieve Sanchez after Killifer sets him free from custody. He owns the Ocean Exotica Warehouse, which is used a front for Sanchez and Killifer, and a marine research vehicle called the Wavekrest, Krest was also present when Sanchez lowers Felix Leiter into a shark tank, and the moment when Leiter's leg is ripped off by a Great White Shark,

Krest nonetheless becomes what would be described as Sanchez's "little alcoholic puppet", he is considerably drunk, at one point, when he attempts and fails to seduce Sanchez's mistress Lupe Lamora, despite the fact that Sanchez ordered henchmen Sanchez to cut out Alverez (Lupe Lamora's lover) heart. Because of his connection to the Leiter issue, Bond sees Krest, as a way of weaving Sanchez's mind that his men are betraying him, Bond steals Sanchez's money from Krest's henchmen, leaving Krest in the so-called "firing line".

Sanchez decides to pay Krest a visit, and to explain how he lost Sanchez's money, Sanchez orders henchmen Braun and Perez to search the Wavekrest, in case Krest is lying. Braun finds the missing $5,000,000, inside the Decompression Chamber, which was planted there by Bond. Sanchez throws Krest into the Decompression Chamber, and begins turning the depth dial, giving intense pain to Krest, who is consistently pleading his innocent nature, Sanchez cuts part of the Chamber with a fire axe, this causes Krest's head to explode, in a bloody mess over the Chamber screen.
