Who is Tommy Shelby? A gang member and a politician, a business leader and a brawler, a war hero and a criminal, a philosopher and an assassin, a drinker and a drug-taker, a lover and a fighter, a gentleman and a gypsy, hero and anti-hero. Thomas Michael Shelby Esquire is a big bundle of contrasts and contradictions, but a number of themes run constantly and form the core of his character. The importance of family, preparation, patience and swift, decisive action combine to make Tommy the supremely powerful character he is. But what can we learn from him?
