** The Kingsmen are officially a group of high-priced tailors. Thing is, when your clientele are among Britain's wealthy and powerful who are grieving for the sons they lost in World War I, their collective fortunes are ''more'' than enough to finance an ElaborateUndergroundBase and a dozen modern "knights."

''Every single one in this series'' dies in [[CruelAndUnusualDeath very cruel circumstances:]] [[spoiler: the very "first", Conrad, is mistaken as a German spy and is shot by his own comrade; the "would-be" Lancelot in the first movie, Eggsy's father, gets blown to bits covering Harry from a suicide grenade explosion; the "previous" Lancelot was sliced in half by Gazelle; the "last" Lancelot, Roxy, didn't even know what hit her when a missile nuked the Kingsman compound, flattening everything in it.]] In fact, Eggsy only survived the whole ordeal because he ''failed'' to gain the Lancelot position, always [[PlotArmor conveniently placing him out of harms' way.]]

Added DiffLines:

* GentlemanAndAScholar: It's a requirement to perform well as a Kingsmen agent and is given more emphasis than the standard SpyFiction will devote. The Kingsmen are well-educated, well-groomed, articulate and polite, and their training includes dinner etiquette, proper formal attire, and how to conduct yourself when meeting with royalty and government officials. If you want to be a spy who can infiltrate the echelons of high society without raising suspicion, you have to know how to act the part properly.
