Added DiffLines:
* AffablyEvil: While he's FauxAffablyEvil to everyone else, he's sincerely kind to his men and the women he protects.
Added DiffLines:
* BenevolentBoss: Outside of his rather harsh punishments, he treats the people working for him quite well and is deeply loyal to them.
Added DiffLines:
* HiddenAgendaVillain: Subverted. He's kept quite a mysterious character at first and he's certainly a WildCard, but ultimately what Limehouse wants is exactly what he says it is: for Noble's Holler to be left alone. Everything he does is in service of that goal.
Added DiffLines:
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not really evil, but Limehouse is quite ruthless and can be quite a jerk to anyone he doesn't like. He also sincerely cares about the people of Noble's Holler, always keeps his promises, and is quite prone to [[PetTheDog petting the dog]].
Added DiffLines:
* PetTheDog: He has quite a bit of these moments.
** He's angry at Errol especially because he got Trixie killed, who was one of their loyal informants. Limehouse forces him to donate money to Trixie's family as penance.
** He hates Dickie, but goes out of his way to rescue him from Ash and Lance's thugs when he didn't have to, because he promised Mags he'd keep him alive.

* BadBoss: Downplayed, especially in comparison to some of the other villains in the series. Limehouse treats his men well, but he won't tolerate failure and the first time his men screw up, he offers them a choice: they can stick their hand in lye and scar their hands, making them "square", or get off without a punishment with the threat Limehouse won't be so merciful next time.

Added DiffLines:
* FauxAffablyEvil: Limehouse is quite folksy and affects a demeanor of amiability, but it's clearly an act for anyone who isn't part of Noble's Holler, and he views most people from outside it with contempt.
Added DiffLines:
* HumbleGoal: Limehouse just wants Noble's Holler to be left alone, and really doesn't want to be involved in criminal activity. But if he's pushed, [[WellIntentionedExtremist he'll push back hard]] to protect his home.
Added DiffLines:
* MorallyBankruptBanker: He was Mags's banker, though according to WordOfGod he refused to be involved in her business any more than that, and hates being involved with gangland activity.
Added DiffLines:
* SoftSpokenSadist: He's quite calm and rarely raises his voice, but it's because Limehouse doesn't have to because everyone is terrified of him and wisely quite wary around him,
Added DiffLines:
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He's the descendant of a community of sharecroppers and former slaves, and he's had to protect his community from Harlan County's bigots for years. This has left him quite ruthless and willing to do anything to protect Noble's Holler, no matter how amoral.

->'''Played By:''' Mykelti Williamson
The unofficial king of Noble's Holler, he often acts as a banker for the local gangsters' illegal cash.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Limehouse chops off Quarles' left arm with a meat cleaver in "Slaughterhouse."
* {{Badass}}
* BriefcaseFullOfMoney: He likes to transport large quantities of cash in coolers.
* TheButcher
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: He gave once gave Arlo the beating of a lifetime, but when Raylan refers to the event Limehouse does not seem to remember it.
** Turns out, Limehouse lied. He later admits to remembering the entire incident to Raylan, and earlier alluded to it when talking with Boyd.
* [[ChekhovsGun Chekhov's Meat Cleaver]]: And what an Act Three usage THAT turned out to be...
* FamilyBusiness: He is just the latest of his family to act as protector of Noble's Holler.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: There is simply no way to tell what side Limehouse is on at any given time.
* HeelRealization: In Season 4.
* IGaveMyWord: He might actually be in the process of backstabbing you but if he made you a promise, he will keep it.
* KnowledgeBroker: He has informants all over the area and always knows what is going on. If you are a client of his unofficial bank he will share this information with you.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: He did not want to get involved in the Boyd-Quarles conflict but now that he is part of it, he will play both sides against each other to make sure that they wipe each other out.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: If you screw things up for him, he might give you one of these rather than having you hurt or killed.
* PlayingBothSides: He messes with everyone's shit, since other people generally need his help much more than he does theirs. In season 4, [[spoiler: he takes in Shelby and Ellen May, then arranges a trade with Boyd, but stalls them, allows only for one hostage exchange and lets Ellen May go after a little while. This way, he has his small revenge against Shelby, robbs Crowder out of a lot of money and helps defuse the Drew Thompson and Ellen May drama without compromising his neutrality.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He is quite willing to give a subordinate a second chance but if the subordinate screws up again, he will treat it as a personal betrayal and act accordingly.
* RefugeInAudacity: His plan to take down Boyd, Quarles and Dickie Bennett all at once relies on the fact the setup is so crazy that no one will suspect it was all pre-planned. Boyd and Raylan see right through it.
* ScaryBlackMan: Boyd was not afraid of Bo Crowder or the Bennetts, but Limehouse is an entirely different matter. Even as a young man he was able to give Arlo a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that neither Arlo or Raylan have forgotten.
* StopBeingStereotypical: Gives a rather impresssive verion of this speech to Errol when he attempts to get Nobles' Holler involved in the Oxy trade.
* SimpletonVoice: He uses a 'country bumpkin' accent when talking to outsiders. It is most noticable when he is talking to Quarles and he does not use it when talking to Boyd. When he tries to pull the routine on Raylan, Raylan tells him to knock it off.
* SocialServicesDoesNotExist: In the absence of regional domestic violence shelters, he takes in battered women who are fleeing their abusive husbands and boyfriends.
* TeamSwitzerland: His base is in a remote mountain community, he maintains neutrality in the various gang wars and acts as a banker for many of the criminals in the area. He believes that the only way for his community to survive is not to take sides in the disputes of the white gangs in the area.
* [[{{ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks}} Throwing Your Meat Cleaver Always Works]]: In "Measures," he hurls his meat cleaver across the room, lodging it into the wall and narrowly missing Quarles' head.
* WifeBasherBasher
