hamish mycroft, also known as "merlin" (mark strong), is kingsman's scottish tech support officer and head of recruit training. he is based on rupert greaves from the graphic novel. upon the revelation of arthur working with valentine, merlin brings eggsy and roxy directly to valentine's secret lair, as it is unknown which other kingsman agents have sided with valentine. the trio successfully stop valentine's plan with their teamwork. in "kingsman: the golden circle", merlin and eggsy are the two surviving members of kingsman after the organisation is wiped out by poppy's missiles (eggsy was out of his house when it was bombed and merlin's address was not listed on the hacked database poppy used to target them). following the doomsday protocol, they team up with their american counterpart statesman in their mission to stop the golden circle from killing millions of people affected by their drugs. upon their arrival at the golden circle's lair in cambodia, merlin saves eggsy from a land mine by temporarily freezing the trigger mechanism and putting his own weight on it. in order to give harry and eggsy an opening, he distracts the guards by singing "take me home, country roads" (by his favourite singer john denver), causing them to surround him. once surrounded, he steps off the landmine, killing himself and the guards.
