The BigBad of the movie, who believes strongly in environmentalism, equality, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and wants to kill off most of humanity to save the rest]].
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Would be if he wasn't hell-bent on committing genocide. See PsychopathicManchild below.
* AffablyEvil: Valentine is a down-to-earth, very friendly, cheerful, and charismatic fellow who's mildly {{Adorkable}}, doesn't care at all about his billions and is primarily concerned with saving the world and humanity. He shows a dislike of politicians who "stand for nothing but re-election", he's genuinely charming, makes friends easily and absolutely believes he is doing the right thing. It's little wonder so many of his co-conspirators come over to his side willingly. [[spoiler:He even mourns the death of his previous kidnap victim, Dr. Arnold.]]
* AfraidOfBlood: He has an aversion to blood and death, which causes him to vomit. Becomes a BrickJoke when [[spoiler:he's impaled by Eggsy and he vomits at the sight of his own blood]].
* AscendedFanboy: Of a sort. As shown in his conversation with Harry over dinner, he absolutely loves the early, campy ''Film/JamesBond'' films, and used to wish he could be that hero. He didn't get to be that, but he did get to follow [[DiabolicalMastermind the opposite end of the spectrum]], and is absolutely loving it.
* BaldOfEvil: Beneath his trademark cap.
* BleedEmAndWeep: After shooting [[spoiler:Galahad]] point-blank between the eyes, Valentine nearly vomits, cringes away, and has to have someone else confirm that the target is actually dead. Not that he doesn't mind [[spoiler:wiping out most of humanity]], but he says that pulling the trigger himself is "horrible."
* BigBad: Of the entire film.
* TheChessmaster: He's cautious and works very hard at making sure any problems will be dealt with before they become a threat.
* DarkMessiah: To some degree. He at least encourages his guests by comparing his plan to Noah's Ark. Claiming that [[NoAntagonist neither Noah, God, nor the animals are the villains]], and that like them, they will all bring in a new age.
* DirtyOldMan: At one point, Valentine casually cops a feel off Gazelle’s bum... though she doesn’t seem to mind.
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: He has a noticeable lisp.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Gazelle is the ''sole'' person in the movie Valentine genuinely cares about beyond a brief friendship (as is the case with his kidnapping victims).
* EvilLaugh: [[spoiler:The second time Valentine puts his hand on the machine,]] he shows the audience how happy he is.
* {{Expy}}: Of just about every Roger Moore-era Bond villain, but ''especially'' Hugo Drax from ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'' and Karl Stromberg from ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe''. Furthermore, as shown throughout the film, [[MetaGuy he's completely aware of it]].
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Though unlike most evil characters, his glasses are pretty goofy-looking.
* GenreSavvy: Lampshades BondVillainStupidity and forgoes it by [[spoiler:shooting Harry in the head]]. He brings up how stupid it would be for him to [[spoiler:put the ExplosiveLeash implant in his own head or [[TheDragon Gazelle]]'s]], hence why he did not do so. When he realizes that an unknown organization is on to him, he immediately boosts production to accelerate the implementation of his plan. Instead of putting his EvilPlan into an easily hackable system, he connected it directly to his biometrics, meaning the only way to stop it was to go to him personally, and the plan could not be averted through external hacking. Lastly, [[spoiler:rather than rely upon either his own satellite network or Gazelle's presumable murder of Eggsy before bringing his plan into action after losing a satellite, he piggybacked on an associate's nearby one instead to shorten the time span to the completion of the network needed and made sure to never lift his hand from the control providing the power for the EvilPlan until he was killed]].
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:After being impaled by Eggsy, he calmly asks if Eggsy's going to deliver a BondOneLiner. Eggsy gives him an IronicEcho of Valentine's earlier statement, "This ain't that kind of movie, bruv." Valentine smiles, says "Perfect," and dies.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Eggsy throws one of Gazelle's blade legs right through his back, which erupts out his chest.]]
* IronicName: "Valentine" is widely known as the holiday to offer love towards your fellow man. On the other hand, ''this'' Valentine has nothing but contempt for humanity [[spoiler:and is engineering a worldwide HatePlague]].
* LargeHam: Jackson clearly had fun playing him, even adding the lisp [[ThrowItIn off his own volition]].
* ManipulativeBastard: He's charismatic and affable enough to convince [[spoiler:most world leaders and Arthur himself]] to join him in his twisted plan to save the world.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The [[NonActionBigBad non-action]] Feminine Boy to Gazelle's AxCrazy Masculine Girl.
* MetaGuy: Frequently comments on the various TuxedoAndMartini tropes as he either [[GenreSavvy averts]] or [[AscendedFanboy revels in them]].
* MisanthropeSupreme: Bizarrely subverted - he wants to wipe out most of humankind to stop destruction of nature, but he does it to preserve humankind, not nature, as he believes that Earth will eventually destroy humanity to stop pollution.
* NerdInEvilsHelmet: DiabolicalMastermind he may be, but he's surprisingly {{adorkable}} about it.
* NonActionBigBad: He has no stomach for blood or violence, and he's a feeble techie to begin with, so he lets [[DarkActionGirl Gazelle]] do the fighting for him. Well, except for [[spoiler: shooting Galahad. And even then, he [[AfraidOfBlood isn't terribly happy]] about it]].
* PetTheDog: Even though he could've just forced Princess Tilde to have a chip implanted or torture into doing so, he doesn't. Yes, he keeps her imprisoned, but [[GildedCage makes sure her accommodations are good and she's properly fed]].
* PyrrhicVictory: For the most part, all his plans were successful, [[spoiler: a good portion of the global population is gone including the mass majority of the world's leaders who denied climate change for monetary reasons. It's just that everyone he wanted to save including himself died.]]

* DarkIsEvil: Gazelle mostly wears dark clothing.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Gazelle's had both feet amputated (why is never stated), but compensates with weaponized prosthetics that make her kicks deadly.
* TheDragon: To Valentine, especially since he's afraid of blood.
* EnigmaticMinion: Not much is revealed about her during the movie. We know that she's extremely loyal to Valentine, she has a pair of bladed prosthetic legs, she's an incredibly deadly fighter, and she seems to be pretty proficient with technology, but that's pretty much it.

* UndyingLoyalty: She is nothing but loyal to Valentine to the bitter end.
* VillainousFriendship: Gazelle genuinely cares about [[BigBad Valentine]].

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:After being kicked out of the Kingsmen training program, he and his family join Valentine's plan, being some of the chosen few who will be spared from the upcoming genocide.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In case you thought him training to be a Kingsman indicated some inherent need to do good in him, [[spoiler:not only does he spill all their secrets to save in his skin in a SecretTestOfCharacter, but he also joins Valentine's faction in the end and gives up Eggsy who's managed to infiltrate Valentine's secret base.]]

->'''Played By:''' Geoff Bell

Eggsy's step-father, who came in some time after his father died. 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.
----
* AxCrazy: His behaviour sometimes slides into this, the chief example being [[spoiler: holding Eggsy and his mother at knifepoint and threatening to kill them both.]]
* BastardBoyfriend: To Eggsy's mother.
* GivenNameReveal: His full name was only revealed once [[spoiler: when Galahad interrupted his attempt on Eggsy's life.]]
* HateSink: 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.
* KarmaHoudini: Subverted. [[spoiler: 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.]]
* LowerClassLout: 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.
* PetTheDog: 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.

[[caption-width-right:358:"[[KillAllHumans Humanity's the disease, and I'm the cure!"]]]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/SamuelLJackson
->'''Appearances:''' ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService''
The BigBad of the movie, who believes strongly in environmentalism, equality, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and wants to kill off most of humanity to save the rest]].
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Would be if he wasn't hell-bent on committing genocide. See PsychopathicManchild below.
* AffablyEvil: Valentine is a down-to-earth, very friendly, cheerful, and charismatic fellow who's mildly {{Adorkable}}, doesn't care at all about his billions and is primarily concerned with saving the world and humanity. He shows a dislike of politicians who "stand for nothing but re-election", he's genuinely charming, makes friends easily and absolutely believes he is doing the right thing. It's little wonder so many of his co-conspirators come over to his side willingly. [[spoiler:He even mourns the death of his previous kidnap victim, Dr. Arnold.]]
* AfraidOfBlood: He has an aversion to blood and death, which causes him to vomit. Becomes a BrickJoke when [[spoiler:he's impaled by Eggsy and he vomits at the sight of his own blood]].
* AscendedFanboy: Of a sort. As shown in his conversation with Harry over dinner, he absolutely loves the early, campy ''Film/JamesBond'' films, and used to wish he could be that hero. He didn't get to be that, but he did get to follow [[DiabolicalMastermind the opposite end of the spectrum]], and is absolutely loving it.
* BaldOfEvil: Beneath his trademark cap.
* BleedEmAndWeep: After shooting [[spoiler:Galahad]] point-blank between the eyes, Valentine nearly vomits, cringes away, and has to have someone else confirm that the target is actually dead. Not that he doesn't mind [[spoiler:wiping out most of humanity]], but he says that pulling the trigger himself is "horrible."
* BigBad: Of the entire film.
* TheChessmaster: He's cautious and works very hard at making sure any problems will be dealt with before they become a threat.
* DarkMessiah: To some degree. He at least encourages his guests by comparing his plan to Noah's Ark. Claiming that [[NoAntagonist neither Noah, God, nor the animals are the villains]], and that like them, they will all bring in a new age.
* DirtyOldMan: At one point, Valentine casually cops a feel off Gazelle’s bum... though she doesn’t seem to mind.
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: He has a noticeable lisp.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Gazelle is the ''sole'' person in the movie Valentine genuinely cares about beyond a brief friendship (as is the case with his kidnapping victims).
* EvilLaugh: [[spoiler:The second time Valentine puts his hand on the machine,]] he shows the audience how happy he is.
* {{Expy}}: Of just about every Roger Moore-era Bond villain, but ''especially'' Hugo Drax from ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'' and Karl Stromberg from ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe''. Furthermore, as shown throughout the film, [[MetaGuy he's completely aware of it]].
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Though unlike most evil characters, his glasses are pretty goofy-looking.
* GenreSavvy: Lampshades BondVillainStupidity and forgoes it by [[spoiler:shooting Harry in the head]]. He brings up how stupid it would be for him to [[spoiler:put the ExplosiveLeash implant in his own head or [[TheDragon Gazelle]]'s]], hence why he did not do so. When he realizes that an unknown organization is on to him, he immediately boosts production to accelerate the implementation of his plan. Instead of putting his EvilPlan into an easily hackable system, he connected it directly to his biometrics, meaning the only way to stop it was to go to him personally, and the plan could not be averted through external hacking. Lastly, [[spoiler:rather than rely upon either his own satellite network or Gazelle's presumable murder of Eggsy before bringing his plan into action after losing a satellite, he piggybacked on an associate's nearby one instead to shorten the time span to the completion of the network needed and made sure to never lift his hand from the control providing the power for the EvilPlan until he was killed]].
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:After being impaled by Eggsy, he calmly asks if Eggsy's going to deliver a BondOneLiner. Eggsy gives him an IronicEcho of Valentine's earlier statement, "This ain't that kind of movie, bruv." Valentine smiles, says "Perfect," and dies.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Eggsy throws one of Gazelle's blade legs right through his back, which erupts out his chest.]]
* IronicName: "Valentine" is widely known as the holiday to offer love towards your fellow man. On the other hand, ''this'' Valentine has nothing but contempt for humanity [[spoiler:and is engineering a worldwide HatePlague]].
* LargeHam: Jackson clearly had fun playing him, even adding the lisp [[ThrowItIn off his own volition]].
* ManipulativeBastard: He's charismatic and affable enough to convince [[spoiler:most world leaders and Arthur himself]] to join him in his twisted plan to save the world.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The [[NonActionBigBad non-action]] Feminine Boy to Gazelle's AxCrazy Masculine Girl.
* MetaGuy: Frequently comments on the various TuxedoAndMartini tropes as he either [[GenreSavvy averts]] or [[AscendedFanboy revels in them]].
* MisanthropeSupreme: Bizarrely subverted - he wants to wipe out most of humankind to stop destruction of nature, but he does it to preserve humankind, not nature, as he believes that Earth will eventually destroy humanity to stop pollution.
* NerdInEvilsHelmet: DiabolicalMastermind he may be, but he's surprisingly {{adorkable}} about it.
* NonActionBigBad: He has no stomach for blood or violence, and he's a feeble techie to begin with, so he lets [[DarkActionGirl Gazelle]] do the fighting for him. Well, except for [[spoiler: shooting Galahad. And even then, he [[AfraidOfBlood isn't terribly happy]] about it]].
* PetTheDog: Even though he could've just forced Princess Tilde to have a chip implanted or torture into doing so, he doesn't. Yes, he keeps her imprisoned, but [[GildedCage makes sure her accommodations are good and she's properly fed]].
* PyrrhicVictory: For the most part, all his plans were successful, [[spoiler: a good portion of the global population is gone including the mass majority of the world's leaders who denied climate change for monetary reasons. It's just that everyone he wanted to save including himself died.]]
* PsychopathicManchild: His choice of clothing and serving UsefulNotes/McDonalds at a formal dinner heavily implies this.
* RaceLift: White in the comic.
* SissyVillain: Valentine has a lisp, dresses fairly casually (and when he DOES go formal, is very foppish), and is sickened by acts of murder. ''Direct'' murder, that is. He's fine with having people kill each other.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Valentine has proven to be an incredibly intelligent, genre savvy individual.

Eggsy's step-father, who came in some time after his father died. 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.
----
* AxCrazy: His behaviour sometimes slides into this, the chief example being [[spoiler: holding Eggsy and his mother at knifepoint and threatening to kill them both.]]
* BastardBoyfriend: To Eggsy's mother.
* GivenNameReveal: His full name was only revealed once [[spoiler: when Galahad interrupted his attempt on Eggsy's life.]]
* HateSink: 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.
* KarmaHoudini: Subverted. [[spoiler: 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.]]
* LowerClassLout: 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.
* PetTheDog: 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.
* WickedStepmother: A GenderFlipped example. He has no problem threatening Eggsy, making good on said threats, or saying lewd things about Eggsy's mother to his face.

->'''Appearances:''' ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService'' | ''Film/KingsmanTheGoldenCircle''
One of the world leaders who refused to go along with Valentine's plan, and thus was locked in a LuxuryPrisonSuite while it went into motion.
----
* CovertPervert: At first, she is portrayed as a prim and proper princess. [[spoiler:Later, after Eggsy rescues her, she offers him anal sex as a [[RescueSex reward]].]]
* DefiantCaptive: Despite being locked up with no prospect of getting out in the foreseeable future, she has no problem with insulting Valentine and making it clear she'll never agree with his insane plot.
* EuropeansAreKinky: [[spoiler:She barely hesitated to add anal to her offer for RescueSex when Eggsy goes to save the world.]]
* FictionalCountry: Seemingly played straight at first, as she and Lindstrom are only mentioned as being "Scandinavian" at first, but then a single clip of news footage identifies the latter as the Prime Minister of Sweden.
* MsFanservice: [[spoiler:The viewer gets a view of her backside in one of the closing scenes just before the RescueSex.]]
* OnlySaneWoman: Is the only person shown directly approached by Valentine who points out how utterly insane and monstrous his plans are.
* RescueSex: [[spoiler:She happily rewards Eggsy with sex for saving the world.]]
* SexyScandinavian: A ''very'' sexy Scandinavian princess.
