List of House of Cards Trilogy Characters - Corder

Corder

Corder (Nick Brimble) serves as Francis Urquhart's bodyguard and is responsible for most of the assassinations carried out on Urquhart's behalf. He appears to feel no compassion for the people he kills, among them Urquhart himself.

It is implied in To Play The King that Corder is having an affair with Mrs Urquhart.

Corder is responsible for the assassinations of Tim Stamper and Sarah Harding, two people who had originally been the Prime Minister's most loyal supporters but who had decided to expose him after a tape implicating him in the murders of Mattie Storin and Roger O'Neill surfaced. Stamper wants him removed so he can replace him, while Harding is genuinely shocked by the news, thinking that her boss and lover Urquhart could never commit such an evil action. Corder has their cars rigged with bombs, killing them both.

At the unveiling of Margaret Thatcher's statue, Corder has Urquhart and Evanghelos Passolides killed by a sniper on a balcony above Parliament Square, just after honouring the memorial with singing "God Save the King". Passolides was investigating the deaths of his brothers, Georgios and Euripides, whom Urquhart murdered on his tour of duty in Cyprus in 1956.
