Kingsman Secret Service
A secret intelligence agency behind a London tailor's shop.
Kingsman is a secret independent intelligence agency. The King's Man shows its beginnings: after the First World War, Orlando Oxford buys the Kingsman Tailor Shop as a front for his organisation. Orlando, Shola, Polly, King George V, Archie Reid and the US Ambassador to the UK form the original agency, each taking a codename from the King Arthur legend in honour of Orlando's son Conrad.

Lore & Background
In Kingsman: The Secret Service the agency is led by Chester King, codenamed Arthur, and Harry Hart serves as Galahad. Merlin is its technical support operative and supervises the training of candidates. Roxy Morton becomes Lancelot, and Eggsy Unwin later takes the Galahad title. In The Golden Circle, Poppy Adams launches missiles that destroy the headquarters and kill its agents in Britain; Eggsy and Merlin survive and turn to Statesman, the agency's American counterpart. Statesman later buys a distillery in Scotland to help rebuild Kingsman, which acquires a new tailor shop in London.
