Hey, Valentine! I've caught a f-cking spy!—Charlie as he holds a knife to Eggsy's throat.
It's ironic, isn't it? You look like a gentleman; I look like a pleb.—Charlie encountering Eggsy again.
Charles "Charlie" Hesketh is a major antagonist in the 2015 spy comedy film Kingsman: The Secret Service and the secondary antagonist of its 2017 sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
He was one of the many candidates dismissed from Kingsman before becoming the highest-ranking member in the Golden Circle criminal organization years later, following the orders of Richmond Valentine and Poppy Adams. He is the archenemy of Gary "Eggsy" Unwin.
He was portrayed by Edward Holcroft.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Originally a failed Kingsman recruit, Charlie becomes resentful and turns on everything the agency stands for.
- Revels in fighting and killing, clearly enjoying violence for its own sake.
- Displays smug arrogance and mockery even when killing or attempting to kill former comrades.
- Willingly joins a terrorist organization and uses his insider knowledge to help destroy most of the Kingsman agents and facilities.
- Charlie sides with Poppy Adams and the Golden Circle, a drug cartel responsible for mass murder, global drug trafficking, and extortion.
- He shows no hesitation or remorse about assisting in the deaths of millions to help Poppy hold the world hostage.
- Driven not by desperation or fear, but pure spite and envy toward Eggsy and Kingsman for his rejection.
- Aids in the near-complete destruction of Kingsman by leaking intel to Poppy, resulting in the deaths of countless agents, including Merlin and other innocents.
- Personally attacks Eggsy and is involved in violent confrontations that nearly kill him and his allies.
- Supports a plan to poison and kill millions of drug users globally just to push Poppy’s agenda and gain power.
- He shows no hesitation or remorse about assisting in the deaths of millions to help Poppy hold the world hostage.
- Unlike many villains, Charlie lacks a layered or understandable motivation. His evil is rooted in pettiness, vanity, and pride.
- Charlie never expresses guilt or second thoughts. He dies still acting on Poppy's behalf, arrogantly believing in his superiority and mission.
