There is a new book out about Maxwell Knight, it's called Maxwell Knight, MI5's Greatest Spymaster. Within the book it recalls how Maxwell or M recruited young men who were orphaned or lost a parent or had some sort of disability, maladjusted young men as Vesper put it.
Knight was and still is a legend within the intelligence service and some think was Flemings inspiration for his litery character.
It's a fascinating read and gives a good insight into Bonds world https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1109472/m/
It was either that.....or the priesthood
