- "I thought... I thought I knew what I wanted. My father warned me. My father warned me. I... I didn't listen... and now it all makes sense. I didn't even get to say goodbye."

Biography[]
Early Life[]
Conrad Oxford was born to Orlando and Emily Oxford in 1897, England, Oxford. His parents were the Duke and Duchess of Oxford, but most of all they were part of the Red Cross; helping people when it was needed. In 1902, Conrad, then 5 years old, was traveling with his parents and their family bodyguard Shola to a camp to bring supplies to the General and his troops. When the family arrived with the supplies, Conrad stayed back at the cart with Shola, waiting for his father and mother to finish discussing business. But before massive discussion could happen a sniper begins firing at soldiers in the camp. One of the bullets hit Conrad's father in the mid-thigh; making him have to use a cane to walk properly.
Conrad, still in the cart was advised by Shola to duck down and wait until the shooting stopped. Shola went to go after the sniper, but even though he stopped the sniper, he couldn't stop the sniper's last shot. The last shot hit Emily in the abdomen, killing her in a matter of minutes. Conrad at that moment exited the cart and ran to his parents. But before getting to his mother's body, his father used his suit jacket to cover his mother's face up.

Death[]
Conrad, upon learning he was to be stationed back in London by King George V, swapped positions with fellow soldier Archie Reid and sent him to give his father to not have Reid reprimanded as he was following orders. During a battle, there was report of a British Spy with Conrad being among the volunteers. While he managed to recover the spy, who died regardless, a soldier who knew Reid believed Conrad was a German spy and shot him in the head before Conrad could explain his real name. Conrad was buried among other dead soldiers, a medal was given to Orlando in Conrad's honor, and the Kingsman Agency was created as a result, in his honor.

Trivia[]
- Conrad is right-handed, he used it to shoot a gun at Grigori Rasputin and used it to hold his knife.
- He is briefly compared to Icarus who flew too close to the sun, seemingly foreshadowing his death due to his own over-eager behaviour and refusing to heed the words of his father, just like in the legend of Icarus.
- Conrad can be considered a honorary Kingsman since his father honoured him by having a portrait of him hung in the boardroom of the Kingsman Tailor Shop.
