Julian Bashir as a James Bond-esque secret agent

Secret agent was a term used to describe a special kind of spy used by ancient Earth governments of the 20th century. A secret agent was an operative who would go undercover to another country to perhaps garner information, kill someone, or steal something, all to protect their own country.

Doctor Bashir was fond of "Secret agent" holo-programs, and had his friend Felix make some special ones for him - Julian Bashir, Secret Agent, starring him, set in the 1960s during Earth's Cold War.

His character was a spy for MI5, an intelligence agency for Great Britain. His missions often took him to many foreign countries, including France, Germany, and the Soviet Union, and always ended with him "getting the girl", or ending up romantically involved with the lead female holo-character. (DS9: "Our Man Bashir")
