Carl Mortner was a former military scientist who performed experiments in order to create a race of gifted super people. Sure enough, babies were born from his work and they turned out to be brilliant but crazy. One of the children was Max Zorin, who was taken in and raised by Dr. Mortner after his family died.
Born Hans Glaub, he orginally worked in Germany but was captured by the USSR at the end of WW2 and sent to work in the USSR. In the 1960s, he fled the USSR and took Max Zorin with him. This is when he changed his name to Carl Mortner and continued his studies and work in genetics, now working on horses.
In A View to a Kill (1985), aboard his blimp, Max Zorin is killed by 007. Carl then attempts to kill 007 with a lit stick of dynamite. Carl dies when it explodes and James Bond escapes by cutting the rope and falls away.
