->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/TonyCurran
->'''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Daredevil 2015}}''

->''"Man takes my son. I lose a boy. He takes my money. I'm getting it back! We will beat every mother's son in this city till I have my money in my hands, and this shooter's on his knees, alive. [[BadBoss Or there'll be more of you shining the inside of a box!]]"''

An Irish mobster with interests in both Ireland and New York.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Finn Cooley in the comics was an ex-Irish Republican Army bomber who was disfigured by one of his own bombs. In the show, he looks normal. [[spoiler:Although he *does* eventually get his face blown off like his comic book namesake, it's by a shotgun, and he doesn't survive it]]
* AxCrazy: He comes off as a little unhinged when he suddenly and brutally murders an old friend at his son's funeral.
* BadBoss: The man does not give a solitary shit about the people under his command; he threatens them with death should they fail, and it's not an idle threat.
* BeardOfEvil: Finn is psychotic gangster with a short red beard.
* BerserkButton: His son. He kills a friend who suggests he just accept his son's death, and takes a drill to Frank's foot when Frank implies he didn't care about his son.
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Frank.]]
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:Even when Frank turns the tables on him and has him at gunpoint demanding to know who killed his family, Finn doesn't flinch or beg.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Finn wants his money back, and puts that first, but his son's death is still a ''very'' touchy subject.
* EvilRedhead: Fiery red hair.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He turns up at his son's funeral, brutally murders an underling before popping pills for his nerves and shrieks that he wants his money back. All of this establishes who Finn is; psychotic, unhinged and greedy.
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:When Frank asks who was responsible for his family's death, this is all Finn has to say before having his brain plastered on the walls.]]
-->'''Finn:''' [[spoiler: ''[[DefiantToTheEnd Who cares?]]'']]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:A literal case; he breaks Frank by threatening to torture his dog in the same way he tortured Frank.]]
* ThisIsADrill: In true IRA style he bores through Frank's foot with a drill.
* TortureTechnician: He's handy with a drill.
* YouLookFamiliar: Tony Curran played Odin's father, Bor, in ''{{Film/Thor}}''.

!!Mr. Nesbitt
->'''Played By:''' Andy Murray
->'''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Daredevil 2015}}''

An Irish-American mob boss in Hell's Kitchen.
----
* BadBoss: He prepares to kill an unruly member of the inner circle for an implied past betrayal, as a cap to his speech. [[spoiler:He doesn't get the chance.]]
* BigBadWannabe: Nesbitt is an intimidating crime lord about to launch a campaign of violence to win back Hell's Kitchen for the Irish. [[spoiler:The Punisher makes short work of him and his inner circle within a space of three minutes.]]
* NewEraSpeech: After the fall of Fisk, he gives a speech to his underlings about how the Irish will rise again and take control of Hell's Kitchen.

[[folder:Grotto]]
!!Elliot "Grotto" Grote
->'''Portrayed By:''' [=McCaleb=] Burnett
->'''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Daredevil 2015}}''

An Irish-American mob goon, who manages to escape the Punisher and contacts Nelson and Murdock for a protection deal.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: Matt feels terrible after failing to save him from the Punisher. Followed up in his funeral.]]
* BlatantLies: [[spoiler:He majorly underplays his role in the Irish mob until Frank gets him to reveal that he killed people on his bosses orders.]]
* ChurchgoingVillain: He was a catholic that went to Matt's church every Sunday, and always donated, hoping for redemption.
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:While a recurring character in the comics as a frequent partner to Turk, here he's killed off after three episodes.]]
* LonelyFuneral: [[spoiler: Only Matt, Foggy, and Karen are at his funeral. Granted all his associates were dead.]]
* PunchClockVillain: He claims to be little more than a low-level thug who simply does some delivery work. [[spoiler:However, Frank manages to get him to admit to Matt that he has killed under orders from his superiors and killed an old woman when she wouldn't keep quiet.]]
* ReformedCriminal: He wants to be this, but he's too weak and greedy to really be successful. Self-preservation is more of a motivator than any hope of redemption.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He wants to get out of Hell's Kitchen before the Punisher gets to him.
* SoleSurvivor: When the Punisher massacres the Irish mob meeting, Grotto has the good sense to jump behind the bar and play dead. He is hit by a piece of shrapnel but manages to survive.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/turk_dd.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"That tin in my trunk couldn't kill a rabbit."'']]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Rob Morgan
->'''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Daredevil 2015}}'' | ''Series/LukeCage2016''

A figure in Hell's Kitchen's organised crime circles.
----
* ArmsDealer: He sells firearms illegally out of his car trunk. They don't work.
* BaldOfEvil: A bald man whose EstablishingCharacterMoment shows his involvement in sexual slavery.
* ButtMonkey:
** After the introductory episode, a lot of his appearances involve things going south for him. His guns don't work properly, he gets beaten up by Daredevil ''really'' thoroughly ''twice'', and then the FBI arrests him. Given what he gets up to, it's deserved.
** This continues in the ''Series/JessicaJones2015'' prequel comic, where Jessica pays him a visit in the hospital where he's recuperating from being beaten up by Matt yet again. Jessica pulls out his IV and takes money from his wallet to pay off his child support.
** His first scene in Season 2 continues the streak by having Daredevil breaking his hand and throwing his car keys in the sea, ''right'' after he was released on parole.
** [[spoiler:In the final episode of Season 2, he gets kidnapped by the Hand for being connected to Daredevil, and his foot is almost cut off when they discover his tracking anklet.]]
* DisappearedDad: Apparently has multiple baby mommas, and yet despite being a moderately successful crook he hasn't paid child support to any of them.
* HonestJohnsDealership: He assures Healy that his black market guns will work perfectly. Healy gets one that jams. Shown again during Season 2, where he tries to sell a bunch of shotguns to potential costumers, overly praising them, and when Daredevil interrogates him, he admits they couldn't even kill a rabbit.
* JiveTurkey: His demeanor, if not his lingo.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While he gets the crap kicked out of him and seems to be a pretty incompetent arms dealer, he still gets involved in slave trading and sells out the Russians.
* OpportunisticBastard: Sells out [[AntiVillain the Russians]] so Fisk can blow them all up.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Introduced trafficking young women.
* VillainCred: He's pretty impressed when Wesley explains the plan that led to the destruction of the Russians and their operations.
-->'''Turk''': Got mad respect for a smart move.

A powerful drug lord who is responsible for the deaths of Frank's family.
----

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:He lost his right arm after leading his men into an ambush that Frank had to save them from.]]
* BigBadEnsemble: With [[spoiler: the Hand in Season 2, though the Blacksmith plays a fairly passive role compared to them]]. Its Frank's search for him to avenge his family that drives the plot.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: It's possible he knew the gang meeting at the park was a sting operation, which is why he didn't show up.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:Spends his last seconds mocking Castle and daring him to kill him.]]
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: He eventually turns out to be [[spoiler:Frank's former officer]], a character who only showed up for a few minutes in an earlier episode as [[spoiler:a witness during Castle's trial.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: [[spoiler: A given with Clancy Brown;]] the Blacksmith has a deep gravelly voice.
* AFatherToHisMen: After his identity is revealed, he is shown to be very upset that Frank killed one of his loyal soldiers. [[spoiler:One of his underlings, Gosnell, served under him during the war and had such fierce UndyingLoyalty for Schoonover that requested to serve him again as enforcer for his drug trade.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler:When Karen meets him at his house for a chat, he is very warm and courteous. It glides down once she realizes Schoonover is the Blacksmith Castle is looking for.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: He doesn't actively drive the plot for most of the season, but he was indirectly responsible for the death of Frank's family, making him the very reason the Punisher exists to begin with.
* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:He was about to call Frank a "stupid son of a bitch", but was interrupted by a bullet to the brain.]]
* SociopathicSoldier: [[spoiler:He is a retired US Marine colonel with no qualms about murder. The same counts for his men.]]
* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:Considering the fact that Frank saved the lives of his men, and himself, when his stupid action almost got them all killed and he not only caused the deaths of Frank's family and proceeded to mock him when cornered he definitely counts.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: His existence isn't revealed until the second half of season 2, and his identity is only revealed in the second to last episode, so this is a given.

Another retired mobster and one of Urich's sources.

-->'''Silvio:''' Used to be when you killed a man you sent his wife flowers. Now? Now you send his wife with him!
* FriendlyEnemy: While he wasn't necessarily an enemy of Ben's, he was still a retired criminal that was still involved enough in the scene to act as Ben's informant. However, he was a good enough friend of Ben's to act as a pallbearer at his funeral.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodGangster: When compared to the likes of Fisk or Wesley, he's a downright chummy criminal.
* OnlyOneName: His surname is never mentioned.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After the death of Rigoletto he decides to flee New York City.
