* KickTheSonOfABitch: Subverted when, after an attempt on his life okayed by Jimmy, he shows up at Jimmy's house to murder him and instead finds Angela and her lesbian lover... and kills the both of them; the lover right after coming out of the bathroom - thinking it was Jimmy - and in Angela's case after she pleaded IHaveAFamily which places this firmly into KickTheDog territory.

* StraightEdgeEvil: In Remus' own words, "Remus shuns gambling". While Remus isn't above enjoying the company of remunerated ladies, Remus is rarely seen drinking, if ever. The historical Remus was a teetotaller despite owing his empire to breaking the Volstead Act.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: There was originally a casting call for Santo Trafficante, Sr., a real Sicilian gangster stationed in Florida that had a long time alliance with Joe Masseria (although Trafficante wasn't Masseria's cousin, his son and heir, Santo Jr., was sent to New York to learn under him). Since Petrucelli wass not in the casting calls and Trafficante never turned up in the show, it seems obvious that Petrucelli is standing in for Trafficante.

** Also [[ShownTheirWork in line with Kashrut standards]], when he sees the Commodore's hunting trophies he shows immense disapproval of killing animals purely for sport/status. In the same speech, he implies to Jimmy that he finds his attempted assassination of Nucky to be dishonorable, both because he did not pull the trigger himself and also because he did so purely to show his partners that he was tough.
