Biography[]
It was shown throughout the game that Diavolo is completely ruthless and despises Bond and MI6. He is an ex-KGB agent and the KGB were so frightened of him that they let him go to be on his own. His biggest influence for what he was doing was Max Zorin.
So, besides killing Bond for meddling in his affairs, he also wanted to avenge the death of Zorin by killing 007. He was killed when Bond made him fall to his death in Diavolo's own missile silo.
As Bond finally left, the whole building exploded along with the missile silo where Diavolo was trapped in. That was how he died in the platform version for Gamecube, XBOX and PS2.
In the Game Boy Advance version, his body was most likely mutilated by the toxic rays that hit him from the machines Bond shot at.
