->'''Played by''': William Forsythe.

A part time kosher butcher, part time capo of Philadelphia's Jewish quarter who has a personal feud with local gangster Waxey Gordon. He becomes Jimmy's partner in crime after Mickey Doyle introduces them to each other in season 2. Played by William Forsythe.

* BoomHeadShot: [[spoiler: Dies this way at the hands of Al Capone]].

* BoomHeadShot: [[spoiler: Dies this way along with Lucien and Sixtus]]

* EnfantTerrible: The fact he has a police file as big as any of his big brothers leaves little doubt about it. Played by Nicholas Martino.

* 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 is not in the casting calls and Trafficante has not showed up in the show yet, it seems obvious that Petrucelli is standing in for Trafficante.

** BigBadWannabe: While he wants to take control of Atlantic City, he and his brothers are really just nuisances in the beginning. It's only after Arnold Rothstein decides to back them that they truly become a threat, and even that ends once Rothstein and Nucky come to a truce at the end of the season. Afterwards, the D'Alessios are sold out and Nucky's men kill Leo and his brothers with barely any effort.

* NotSoHarmless: While his gang is initially considered to be little more than a nuisance by the powers governing Atlantic City, he and his brothers ultimately pose a genuine danger to Nucky's grip on power after obtaining the backing of [[BiggerBad Arnold Rothstein, one of the most powerful underworld kingpins in New York City. ]]

* FiveManBand: Six, actually. But who really cared to differentiate between Lucien and Sixtus?

* AffablyEvil/FauxAffablyEvil: Skirts the border between them. He's friendly, professional, even fatherly. He loves his wife. Push him too far, and you and ''your'' wife will regret it--briefly.

* WeHaveWaysOfMakingYouTalk: Extracts a confession from Herman, before [[BlueAndOrangeMorality having Jimmy finish him off.]]

* TheDragon:

* BaitAndSwitch: Nucky and co. first take him as an adult and resolve to kill him to make an example. They find that he is a scared 15-year old who ignores what they did to his partner, Nate. Then they find that he is actually an adult (and a liar) and Nucky kills him. Up to that point, the episode looked like a tailor-made introduction for Rowland as a new recurring character.

* StaringDownCthulhu: When Nucky comes to kill him he suit-talks him into giving him a job. It fails.

* HotBlooded

* FiveBadBand: Six, actually. But who really cared to differentiate between Lucien and Sixtus?

* AnyoneCanDie: In the season 3 premiere, he opens the door to Richard Harrow and gets a shotgun blast to the face. Making it the fourth consecutive episode ending with a major character death, a cycle that had started with Angela, by Manny's own hand, and the reason Harrow had come knocking.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's a ''kosher'' butcher... he won't kill an already-injured man in the same freezer as his meats. Injuring that man himself and then telling a non-believer to kill him is fair game, though.

A teenage wheelman from rural Pennsylvania that steals liquor from other bootleggers to sell it for a profit. Played by Nick Robinson.

[[ThirdPersonPerson George Remus]] is a prominent Cincinnati lawyer and major supplier of "legal" alcohol, as Remus exploits a loophole in the Volstead Act that permits its trade for medicinal purposes. Remus is played by Creator/GlennFleshler.

* AnyoneCanDie: In the season 3 premiere. Making it the fourth consecutive episode ending with a major character death. The first of this series of deaths was Angela, by Munya's own hand.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: While far from anticlimactic, he got a significantly abrupt and shocking death in the Season 3 premiere.

* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: In an evil version of this, after an attempt is made on his life, he considers no amount of blood money sufficient to stop him from taking revenge.

** Ironically, Mickey Doyle ends up trying to take the credit for Munya's death.

* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Lampshaded by Jimmy, who asks him if "Waxey" is a nickname or a diminutive. Waxey declines to respond.[[labelnote:In real life...]]The whole name was fake. His birth name was Irving Wexler.[[/labelnote]]

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He and his brothers are loosely based on the Lanzetta Brothers, a gang of bootleggers that operated in Philadelphia in the 1920s.

* {{Expy}}: His gangster-butcher persona is reminiscent of Bill Cutting in ''GangsOfNewYork''.

* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: Invoked when Nucky reminds Remus that it was he who put Remus and Daugherty in contact, even though both are based on Ohio.

* TheInformant: [[spoiler:Becomes a federal informant after being arrested, to avoid full prosecution]]. His new friends barely tolerate his antics.

* PunchclockVillain: Remus enters bootlegging with the express purpose of making a pile of money and makes plenty of deals with mobsters, but Remus is neither violent nor apparently capable of hurting someone himself.

* ThirdPersonPerson: In case you didn't notice, [[OverlyLongGag Remus]] has a habit of referring to himself in the third person, constantly. It takes a man with the tenacity of Hoover to [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness snap him out of the habit for the first time]].

-->Remus has paid! Remus has kept recipts!
* 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 teetotaler despite owing his empire to breaking the Volstead Act.

-->'''Remus:''' Remus finds you petty and resentful

* FamilyThemeNaming: They are all named after Popes.

* [[Starter Villains StarterVillain]]

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: He is forced to leave Philadelphia at the end of the second season, since it has been swallowed hole by Gordon, and seek refuge to Nucky in Atlantic City. It doesn't serve him much in the end.

* [[spoiler:DeceasedFallGuyGambit: After killing them in the first season finale, Nucky pins the Woods Massacre and by extension Hans Schroeder's death on them.]]

* [[spoiler: SlashedThroat[=/=]DangerouslyCloseShave: The way he is killed in the first season finale.]]
