While having this goal and believing in it fervently, Van Alden is as far from a KnightInShiningArmor as he can get. He's revealed to be a disturbed man, prone to inflicting intense violence if he's pissed off enough. He eventually goes off his rocker and [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope becomes a gangster himself]], before [[spoiler: meeting his end courtesy of a headshot.]]

* StimulantSpeedtalk: Seen snorting coke at various points in the series, and as his usage increases, he can frequently be found ranting on at high speed, usually accompanied by several loud sniffs. By the time of his meeting with Luciano in "[[Recap/BoardwalkEmpireS5E04Cuanto Cuanto]]", Capone can barely stop sniffing or stop talking, even while showing off a newsreel of his most famous crimes, indicating his mind is beginning to suffer as a result. [[note]] In the real world, Capone's use of cocaine is still debated: he was diagnosed with a deviated septum and his behavior did become more volatile over the years, but both symptoms can be attributed to his untreated [=STIs=] and prison doctors claimed to have found no evidence of narcotics abuse during his routine physicals.[[/note]]
