Tequila

## Agent Tequila

"*You know, my momma... she always told me, 'Us Southerners get our good manners from the British.' So I was thinkin', "Ain't that a pity? Y'all ain't keepin' none for yourself." Y'all ain't ever heard of knockin' before you enter?*"
― Tequila when meeting with Eggsy and Merlin[src]
Agent **Tequila** is a former agent of the American independent spy agency Statesman. He is portrayed by Channing Tatum in the film *Kingsman: The Golden Circle*.

## *Kingsman: The Golden Circle*

After Ginger Ale began picking up a signal 11 miles from the base, she asked Tequila to get her to the location of the signal. Unknown to them, the signal was caused by Richmond Valentine as a test for his mass culling. Ginger and Tequila arrived just after Valentine had left and found a man Valentine had shot in the head, who unknown to either of them was Harry Hart, an agent of Stateman's British counterparts, Kingsman. While Ginger used Tequila's Alpha-Gel, Tequila looked in the church and found everyone in it had been killed.

Tequila was seen with a rifle when catching Eggsy and Merlin for hacking into the Statesman security systems. Eggsy told Tequila that they were from the Kingsman Tailor Shop and asked him if he had ever heard of them. After complimenting on Eggsy and Merlin's appearances, Tequila prompted both of them to get down onto their knees. Shortly after, he suspected that they were lying to him and pushed them to tell him who they really are before spitting at the hole made in a cask of whiskey (note: the size of the barrelhead would indicate that this is actually a 'tun', a barrel size that is never used in the production of whiskey). Tequila then spun his rifle and began to fight both Merlin and Eggsy and knocked them out. In the control room of the Statesman Building, he tied both Merlin and Eggsy onto some chairs.

Tequila showed them the still living Harry Hart and threatened him until Ginger came in and confirmed the two men were telling the truth. Realizing his error, Tequila apologized and welcomed them.

Tequila met with Champagne in the conference room for a discussion whilst Eggsy and Merlin were introduced to him. Champagne admonished him for his behavior, for which Tequila apologized. Champagne later noticed that Tequila had a blue rash on his neck and had him report to the sick bay. It seems that he'd been on drugs which had Poppy Adams' virus in them. The effect on him went as far as reaching the dancing phase, dancing in the hallway of the Statesman Distillery. Ginger and Merlin noticed and with help from other Statesman stored his body in order to save him from suffering any other stages. Once Eggsy and Harry released the antidote, Tequila recovered and didn't know what happened to him as Ginger told him to stick to drinking now.

He was present as Harry and Eggsy were honored as heroes. He agreed with Champagne about one of them accepting Whiskey's position since it was confusing for both to be Galahad. Neither accepted and Ginger volunteered to take it up instead, which was met by open arms from the other members. Champagne made a remark on Tequila's outfit and he seemed confused on it.

Tequila showed up at Eggsy's wedding and congratulated him on his achievement.

At the end, he decided to join Kingsman and was seen walking to Berry Bros. & Rudd. He took Champagne's advice and had changed attire to that of a new black suit complete with Kingsmen Glasses and a Bowler hat.
