* BecauseImGoodAtIt: PlayedWith. Over the course of season 1, Eddie wants to leave the business behind. But it's undeniable he's very good at being a criminal (he's constantly told so by others) and it's clear he enjoys some parts of the "job". In the end, he willingly becomes part of the Glass family's business, but he doesn't do it solely for fun although that may play a part here.



* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: Eddie starts out the series as a soldier and aristocrats who doesn't want to have anything to do with the illegal business of the Glass family and only cooperates with them to pay his brother's death. He spends most of season 1 trying to get out of the business, only to realize he's very competent as a criminal. In the season finale, he finally embraces this side of himself and willingly takes part of the drug business.

And while he agrees to Tommy’s offer to cut down out the interest in exchange for an embarrassing video of Freddy, he quickly gets sick of Tommy putting Freddy through further humiliation with an impromptu rehearsal where he belittles Freddy constantly and tries telling him to get it over with.
