Michelle
Michelle Unwin
Portrayed By: Samantha Womack
Appearances: Kingsman: The Secret Service | Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Eggsy's mother.
- Adaptation Name Change: She's changed from Sharon to Michelle.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: In the first movie, Eggsy tells her to lock up her little daughter in the bathroom to prevent her from harming her under the effects of Valentine's Hate Plague. Eggsy manages to stop it just in time as Michelle broke through the bathroom's door Jack Torrance-style.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Barely averted in the sequel. She doesn't appear until the very end at Eggsy's wedding. And only for a brief shot. The baby doesn't appear at all.
- Domestic Abuse: She is the victim of this at her new husband's hands.
- Morality Pet: For her son Eggsy, since he never pursued any of his interests or a similar career to his father like joining the army out of fear of him dying just like him.
- Stacy's Mom: Eggsy's friends tease him about her attractiveness.
Eggsy's Friends
Jamal, Ryan, Liam, and Brandon
Appearances: Kingsman: The Secret Service | Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Eggsy's friends.
- Ascended Extra: They were basically there to showcase some of Eggsy's character in The Secret Service. In The Golden Circle, one of them (Brandon) gets killed alongside J.B. in an attack meant for Eggsy, motivating him to avenge him, while another (Liam) is one of the victims of Poppy's Poison and Cure Gambit.
- Muggle Best Friend: None of them know about Eggy's line of work. Eggsy still maintains his friendship with them into The Golden Circle, and usually has them dogsit when he's off saving the world. Brandon accidentally finds out, but is soon killed minutes later.
- Remember the New Guy?: Eggsy only has two friends in the first movie and their names are barely said on camera. Come the second film, one of the first two friends is swapped with a different actor, and the group of friends plus Tilde are celebrating the birthday of an additional friend named Brandon, who ends up dying when Eggsy's house is blown up via missile while he is dogsitting JB for Eggsy.
Dean
Dean Anthony Baker
Played By: Geoff Bell
Appearances: Kingsman: The Secret Service
Eggsy's step-father, who came in some time after his father died. A small-time crook gang leader and a thug, Eggsy blames him for most of what has gone wrong in his life, since he had to stay home in order to keep his mother safe from him.
- Abusive Dad: As Eggsy's step-father, he is a jerk towards him.
- Ax-Crazy: His behavior sometimes slides into this, the chief example being holding Eggsy and his mother at knifepoint with a meat cleaver and threatening to kill them both.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: He doesn't appear in the sequel, which makes sense due to Eggsy completely kicking his ass in The Stinger of the first movie.
- Domestic Abuse: To Eggsy's mother.
- Given Name Reveal: His full name was only revealed once when Galahad interrupted his attempt on Eggsy's life.
- Hate Sink: He's an asshole whose sole purpose is to make the audience hate him.
- Jerkass: He's a jerk to Eggsy, and physically abusive towards Michelle.
- Karma Houdini Warranty: The post-credits scene shows that Eggsy handed Dean's ass for abusing his mom, in the same way Galahad did when the latter defended him from Dean's mooks.
- London Gangster: He's a Lower-Class Lout who is a small-time crook gang leader and a thug.
- Lower-Class Lout: Pretty much his persona for the entirety of the movie: he speaks crassly, he hits on Eggsy's mom despite not having a problem assaulting her, and he leads a group of thugs at the pub.
- More Hateable Minor Villain: Since the movie's main antagonists are one of the most deliberately-hammy and most childish psychopathic manchildren Samuel L. Jackson has ever played and a down-to-earth Handicapped Badass, it's no surprise that Dean, a drunken wife-beater and abusive stepdad, is far more loathsome for audiences despite having little screentime and no involvement in the bad guys' evil plan.
- Pet the Dog: Almost minor enough not to count, but he at least gave Eggsy some Pounds when he sent him out near the beginning. It was probably within his power to just skip that bit. Ironically, this is one of his first on-screen acts in the movie before his worst qualities are later constantly shown in the rest of the film to give a reason why he is film's Hate Sink.
- Starter Villain: He is the initial antagonist to Eggsy, but he's small potatoes compared to Valentine.
- Wicked Stepfather: He has no problem threatening Eggsy, making good on said threats, or saying lewd things about Eggsy's mother to his face.
Sophie
Lady Sophie Montague-Herring
Portrayed by: Lily Travers
Appearances: Kingsman: The Secret Service
A target for the Kingsman candidates' honeypot mission.
- Ambiguously Bi: As Roxy is sent to seduce her, it can be assumed that she had an equal chance with Sophie as Eggsy and Charlie.
- Everyone Loves Blondes: Literally. Charlie, Eggsy, and Roxy each seem perfectly pleased with the concept of potentially bedding Sophie.
- Girl of the Week: She's introduced as someone our heroes need to seduce in order to advance in training.
- Meaningful Name: "Herring" - as in a Red Herring when the mission turns into something entirely unrelated to Sophie.
- Nice Girl: Despite being essentially barraged by three strangers all vying for her attention while attempting to undercut each other's conversation techniques, she regards them all in a very friendly and attentive manner, even confirming that she'd come back to join them after the interrogator sends her away to answer a phone call.
- Scene Transition: The photo of Sophie provided to the three Lancelot candidates transitions directly into a shot of her during the mission.
- Teamwork Seduction: Eggsy, Roxy, and Charlie all approach in quick succession to chat her up. Subverted in that technically they were each trying to come out on top, so to speak.
Tilde
Princess Tilde of Sweden
Played By: Hanna Alström
Appearances: Kingsman: The Secret Service | Kingsman: The Golden Circle
One of the world leaders who refused to go along with Valentine's plan, and thus was locked in a Luxury Prison Suite while it went into motion.
- Ascended Extra: She goes from a minor character in The Secret Service to Eggsy's full-blown Love Interest in The Golden Circle.
- Brutal Honesty: Bluntly tells Valentine and Lindstrom that they're "completely crazy" upon learning of their scheme. Demands in The Golden Circle, "How the fuck is screwing someone gonna save the world?!" And that's far from a complete list of her straightforward moments. Basically, it's safe to say that an inclination towards speaking her mind is a character trait of Tilde's.
- Covert Pervert: At first, she is portrayed as a prim and proper princess. Later, after Eggsy rescues her, she offers him anal sex as a reward. Bear in mind Eggsy only cheekily requested a kiss. This turns into a Call-Back in The Golden Circle when she reminds Eggsy of what's waiting for him when he returns from saving the world again.
- Damsel in Distress: Captured by the Big Bad in the first movie, poisoned/infected by the new Big Bad in the second.
- Defiant Captive: Despite being locked up with no prospect of getting out in the foreseeable future, she has no problem with insulting her captors.
- Drowning My Sorrows: She turns to taking drugs to cope with Eggsy sleeping with one of his targets. This turns out quite badly since the drugs were poisoned by Poppy.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's a blonde-haired woman who has strong morals.
- Modest Royalty: She's often dressed in simple outfits. In the second film, she good-naturedly accepts Eggsy's friends ribbing her about her pronounced lack of baking talent.
- Ms. Fanservice: In the first movie's ending where she is Ready for Lovemaking with Eggsy and briefly appears nude from the waist down.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: She is a fictionalized version of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden (in status) and her younger sister Princess Madeleine (in looks and age).
- Official Couple: The Golden Circle shows that she and Eggsy have been a couple for a year. They marry at the end.
- Oh, Crap!: Her reaction to seeing Gazelle carve up her bodyguards.
- Promoted to Love Interest: Somewhat surprisingly for someone who was essentially Kingsman's version of a Bond girl, Tilde returns in the sequel as Eggsy's girlfriend. She gets much more screentime, including being the source of some good old-fashioned romantic drama. In the epilogue, she and Eggsy tie the knot.
- Rescue Romance: As opposed to being a Girl of the Week, Eggsy saving her leads to them dating for the following year, after which they get married.
- Royal Brat: Despite behaving in a completely chill and relaxed manner with her new civilian boyfriend, she expects him to propose to her in exchange for her blessing to complete an intrigue mission, with the full implication that he would ultimately need to quit his spy job in order to be her Royal Consort. When he attempts to explain his reservations, she hangs up the phone and refuses to answer any of his attempts to communicate until her Damsel in Distress trope kicks back in.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: Present in the first film where she stands up to the Big Bad and maintains a strong resolve even after months of imprisonment. Subverted in the second film where she smokes poisoned weed and enacts the Quitting to Get Married trope on the main protagonist, despite the former's wishes not to do so.
- Secret-Keeper: Due to him saving her in the climax of The Secret Service, she is the only one outside the organization who knows the full extent of his work.
- Token Good Teammate: In the first film and downplayed. Among the world leaders and global elites, while there are actually many who refused to buy into Valentine's insane genocidal plan (And thus imprisoned for their own safety), she's the only one prominently portrayed throughout the film.
- Uptown Girl: She (the princess of Sweden) and Eggsy (a former Lower-Class Lout).
Elton John
Sir Elton John
Portrayed by: Himself
Appearances: Kingsman: The Golden Circle
The famous musician. Poppy had him kidnapped to serve as entertainment.
- Acrofatic: He's a man quite a few paces past his physical prime, but when the time comes to get some payback on his captors, he demonstrates some pretty amazing martial prowess that many athletes half his age would have trouble with.
- As Himself: Elton John as, well, Elton John.
- The Cavalry: Minor example, but still pretty badass. When Harry is cornered by one of Poppy's robo-dogs and about to be torn to pieces, Sir Elton appears out of nowhere and interposes himself between the Killer Robot and Harry, knowing the tin can is programmed to not attack him. This programming gets revoked quickly, but his intervention still served its purpose and allows the two of them to destroy the bot.
- Combat Stilettos: Kicks a guard with his platform shoes.
- Cool Old Guy: Sir Elton is 70 years old, but during the battle at Poppy Land, he fights off multiple guards and helps Harry kill one of Poppy's dogs.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Who knew Elton could actually kick some ass?
- Defiant Captive: He does what he's told, eventually, but he makes sure to make his displeasure about it abundantly clear. It's even more pronounced when he's talking to Poppy's goons — those "conversations" are usually one-sided strings of curses and insults on his part. When he's forced to appear as a hostage in Poppy's video to the President, the first thing he does upon regaining the ability to move and speak is curse out the attendant who cured him.
- Mythology Gag: The plot point of Poppy stealing him as a hostage/"pet" is one to Mark Hamill having been kidnapped by the Big Bad of the original "The Secret Service" comic (that with Hamill playing another character on the first film).
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Most of his lines have him swearing at his captors.
- Stone Wall: He doesn't directly fight the robo-dog that attacked Harry in the bowling alley (at first, at least), but he weaponizes its inability to attack him (because of its programming designating him as a "friend") to tank for Galahad.
US President
President of the United States of America
Portrayed by: Bruce Greenwood
Appearances: Kingsman: The Golden Circle
The current President by the time of the second movie who took office a year after his predecessor's death in the original movie.
- Bad Boss: He puts his adviser to work 20 hours per day, seven days a week, and she ended up taking drugs to cope with her insane workload. He also doesn't give a crap about her dying, alongside with the millions of Poppy's victims.
- Drinking on Duty: While it's debatable if a President of the United States can be off duty, he does enjoy a glass of whiskey in the middle of the day while making a pretty impactful decision. The fact that he keeps a bottle of Statesman whiskey in his office, complete with a listening bug, is how they learn of his plans.
- Greater-Scope Villain: He fully intends to allow Poppy to kill all the drug users, but never interferes with Eggsy and Harry's mission to stop her.
- Hate Sink: He sees all drug users as "junkie scum" worth killing if he thinks it will win him reelection and completely ignores his advisor's ethical concerns (including the fact that children will die if nothing is done). It is even implied that he is a terrible man to work for as well, his adviser having to self-medicate for a thankless 140 hour work-week and being shipped off to die for her troubles.
- Hypocrite: He thinks drug use is so bad that anyone who ever took it deserves to die while pouring a drink of alcohol in the same conversation.
- Knight Templar: Wants to let the victims of Poppy's Poison and Cure Gambit die, thinking that with all drug users dead, he would have won the War on Drugs.
- Laser-Guided Karma: He gets impeached at the end of Golden Circle by the same adviser he refused to get help for (she took drugs to cope with working for him 20 hours per day, seven days a week).
- Laughably Evil: He's so damn petty and single-minded on wiping out every single person infected with the drug virus that it's pretty much Refuge in Audacity.
- Meet the New Boss: He's a President Evil who is willing to let American citizens die to boost his own approval ratings, while his predecessor was also President Evil who was on board with Valentine's Kill All Humans plot.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: While his attitude on the final cut is a pretty generic President Evil, several cut-off scenes gave him a characterization that showcased a stronger Take That! to the Trump administration.
- No Name Given: He is only referred to as 'the President'.
- President Evil: He's all too happy to let Poppy's victims die.
- Put on a Prison Bus: He is last seen being handcuffed and escorted away from the White House by the Secret Service (after being impeached, of course) for conspiring to have the victims of Poppy's Poison and Cure Gambit die just so he could say he won the War on Drugs.
- Spanner in the Works: His willingness to let billions of people die to "win" the War on Drugs runs counter to Poppy's Poison and Cure Gambit to cancel said War. If it wasn't for the Kingsmen and Statesmen, her plan would have been All for Nothing and it would have ended with genocide.
- Straight Edge Evil: An extreme example, since he wants to commit borderline genocide to clean the world out of drug users. That said, he still has no problems with alcohol.
- Villain with Good Publicity: He puts on a facade of wanting to negotiate with Poppy and sets up hospitals for the victims which really locks them up in stacked cages, while getting praise from the world leaders on how he is willing to help those affected.
- Walking Spoiler: Any details on him in the film reveal his true nature.
- Wham Line:The President: We appear to give in to her demands, and then we let the junkie scum go down in flames.
