* MagnificentBastard: Eddie Temple is an English crimelord who has become a feared and renowned figure in the British underworld, establishing himself as a [[VillainWithGoodPublicity legitimate businessman and member of upper society while secretly running a criminal empire behind the scenes]]. When Temple's lifelong associate Jimmy Price lost a large sum of money in a bad overseas investment, blaming Temple for it and attempted to have Temple's beloved daughter kidnapped to use her as a hostage, Temple quickly undercuts this scheme by revealing his findings about Jimmy being a police informant to Jimmy's [[SocialClimber young and ambitious]] cocaine manufacturer XXXX during a HighAltitudeInterrogation, who kills him for the betrayal. Temple then cuts a deal with XXXX for a batch of ecstacy pills that were stolen on Jimmy's behalf from a group of Serbian gangsters, only to confiscate the drugs during the rendezvous and offering XXXX exclusive membership to a high-class social club instead. Temple is a ruthless gangster while at the same time being [[AffablyEvil courteous, witty, and polite]], reminding XXXX that it takes years of time and dedication to ascend the layer cake of life.
