It also appears that outside of his life as an assassin, White was once a loving husband and father, but his poisoning of a family on SPECTRE's orders led the sole survivor - Safin - to later seek revenge.
In exchange for information, Bond promises to protect White's estranged daughter Madeleine (Lea Seydoux), with who James later falls in love. White is revealed to have been poisoned by Blofeld after a falling out between the two men and is dying when Bond finds him.
