It may be no coincidence that M's rival, MI5's head of intelligence Denbigh (Andrew Scott), is code-named "C". The original "M" (played by Bernard Lee) was named Admiral Sir Miles Messervy, and "M" comes from his initials. Dame Judi Dench's "M" was named Olivia Mawdsley, again the "M" being derived from her initials. Also, Ralph Fiennes' "M" is named Gareth Mallory, with the "M" derivative from the first letter of his surname. The practice of the Director of Intelligence signing with a single letter dates back to Mansfield Smith-Cumming, who signed with a "C", but his first name Mansfield was a word which started with an "M". Also, traditionally speaking, the Head of MI5 was codenamed "K", as in Vernon Kell.
