William Samuel Stephenson, also known as Intrepid, was a Canadian soldier, fighter pilot, businessman, and spymaster who played a crucial role during World War II. As head of the British Security Coordination (BSC), he facilitated intelligence exchange among the western allies, shared important British and American secrets, and influenced American public opinion to support entering the war. Stephenson’s significant contributions as a strategic intelligence liaison and his influence on the character of James Bond have secured his place in espionage history.
