| 48 | * AFatherToHisMen: When Gio becomes threatening, Dan becomes protective. |
| 49 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: Like Raylan says, Miami is a sunny place for shady people. Dan has his hands full with the cartel and other fugitives, usually off-screen. |

| 63 | * CoolOldGuy: Shown when he drives away in an expensive sports car with millions of dollars, laughing at how he was able to get away with it. |
| 64 | * DirtyCop: A sympathetic and downright fun version. He steals a great deal of money from the evidence locker to ensure his retirement. He's last seen driving off in an expensive sports car, laughing as he goes. |
| 65 | * NiceGuy: Charlie is pleasant and accomodating to pretty much everyone he meets. |

| 84 | |
| 85 | The Assistant Director of the United States Marshals Service. She is essentially Series/KarenSisco, but is unable to go by that name due to copyright laws. The explanation here for the name change is that she's since married. |
| 86 | ---- |
| 87 | * ActionGirl: She's able to easily throw down with mobsters. |
| 88 | * AmicableExes: Implied with Raylan from some of their interactions, and the slightly plaintive look she gives when she sees Raylan kissing Winona. |
| 89 | * TheCameo: For Karen Sisco, under a different name. |
| 90 | * CowboyCop: Much like Raylan, she's willing to use colorful methods to do her job. She's slightly more restrained and mature than Raylan, however. |
| 91 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
| 92 | * {{Expy}}: Of Karen Sisco. |
| 93 | * LawyerFriendlyCameo: Legal problems meant the creators couldn't use Karen Sisco exactly, but merely changed her last name, cast the person who'd played her in the Karen Sisco series and heavily alluded to it. |

| 110 | ---- |
| 111 | * DeadpanSnarker: Largely due to being played by David Koecher, who dials his usual [[Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy Champ Kind]] mannerisms back to a restrained wit. |
| 112 | * {{Foil}}: To Raylan; he manages to be competent without being a CowboyCop and has successfully balanced his work with his family life. |

| 122 | [[caption-width-right:350:''"[[HonorBeforeReason Once you make a decision, set down the path, you follow it right to the end, at least. That's the way I always saw it.]]"'']] |
| 123 | ->'''Played By:''' Creator/BrentSexton |
| 124 | |
| 125 | -->''"Raylan, you listen to what your mama taught you and not that old son-of-bitch you may turn out all right. But I wouldn't count on it, 'cause we both know whose voice it is that makes you do what you do."'' |
| 126 | |
| 127 | Hunter Mosley is the sheriff of Harlan -- and, like sheriffs before and after him, can be counted on to be in bed with various criminal elements, particularly the Miami drug cartel. He has a long-standing hatred of the Crowder criminal family, however, due to a tragic and violent event in his own family's history. |
| 128 | ---- |
| 129 | * AffablyEvil: Hunter is a pretty fun guy, even after revealing his true colours. |
| 130 | * CowboyCop: While he was still a cop. |
| 131 | * CynicismCatalyst: The brutal death of his niece seemed to have turned him from an honest cop into a DirtyCop willing to make a DealWithTheDevil in order to get revenge on the killer. Subverted, when he tells Raylan that he has always been a RevengeBeforeReason type of person. |
| 132 | * DirtyCop: A pretty sympathetic version. He allows the Cartel to run drugs through Harlan for the purpose of keeping local home-grown threats like Bo Crowder behind bars. His deputies are pissed off when he's put in jail. |
| 133 | * DeadpanSnarker: Hunter has some fantastic lines. |
| 134 | * DealWithTheDevil: He made a deal with the Miami cartel. In exchange for the location of his niece's killer, he agreed to become their man in Harlan. |
| 135 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His StartOfDarkness was due to the violent death of his beloved niece. |
| 136 | * EvilAllAlong: He seems like a helpful ReasonableAuthorityFigure before it's revealed he's a DirtyCop. |
| 137 | * FallenHero: He was an honest lawman before the murder of his niece set him down a darker path. |
| 138 | * AFriendInNeed: When he finds out that people are looking for his friend Drew Thompson he declines a generous deal from the Marshals and goes as far as kill Arlo Givens to protect his friend. He knows that without the Marshals' protection he will be brutally tortured and killed in prison but to him friendship is more important. |
| 139 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: Mosley killed a horrible pedophile who killed his niece...and in doing so, became a criminal himself. |
| 140 | * HonourBeforeReason: Strongly believes in this. His code of ethics isn't tied up with the law, but with honour, revenge, loyalty and blood for blood. It's somewhat telling that the Cartel couldn't buy him with money, but with the prospect of revenge. |
| 141 | * KeepingSecretsSucks: Because he knows who Drew Thompson is, he has to deal with questioning and intimidation from Raylan, as well as possible threats from the Dixie Mafia and the Detroit Mob. |
| 142 | * KillerCop: Kills Mr. Duke, tries to kill Raylan and Ava, and later murders Arlo (though he's no longer a cop at that point). |
| 143 | * MirrorCharacter: From Raylan. Both are CowboyCop types who count the Crowders as archenemies. Hunter even seems to have some insight as to why Raylan acts the way he does. He's certainly not wrong; by the end of the season Raylan has reached out to Sammy like Hunter reached out to Gio Reyes. They are now both complicit in the murder of someone who harmed their family. |
| 144 | * NothingPersonal: Spoken word-for-word when he shivs Arlo. |
| 145 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Before the revelation that he's a DirtyCop. |
| 146 | * RevengeBeforeReason: He sells himself out to the Miami cartel to get revenge when a Crowder rapes and kills his niece. Even now he seems to hold a major grudge against the remaining members of the Crowder family. |
| 147 | * SecretKeeper: He knows who Drew Thompson is. |
| 148 | * TookALevelInBadass: Prison hardened him considerably. |
| 149 | * TragicVillain: Something horrible happened to his family, and even when he was a DirtyCop he was still trying to protect Harlan from major threats. |

| 159 | [[caption-width-right:350:''"The shit follows me home like a three-legged dog."'']] |
| 160 | ->'''Played By:''' Creator/DavidAndrews |
| 161 | |
| 162 | Tillman Napier is the sheriff of Harlan -- and, like sheriffs before and after him, can be counted on to be in bed with various criminal elements. He is particularly connected with the Dixie Mafia. Unlike some other crooked officials in the region, he has few redeeming qualities and is liked and trusted by almost no one on either side of the law. |
| 163 | ---- |
| 164 | * DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: He was a popular incumbent virtually guaranteed to win re-election but as soon as another candidate showed up he started cheating. |
| 165 | * DirtyCop: Overlapping with CorruptPolitician, since the office of sheriff is an elected one. He barely hesitates when Quarles shows up with a BriefcaseFullOfMoney. |
| 166 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: He is almost guaranteed to win the election but his attempts to discredit Shelby inspire Boyd to think of new, ingenious ways of stealing the election from under him. |
| 167 | * {{Jerkass}}: Napier is a smug jerk at his most basic; arrogant, corrupt, greedy and snobbish. |
| 168 | * TheSheriff: Of Harlan County. |
| 169 | * {{Slimeball}}: His attempt at charm comes across as condescension. He's also seen drunkenly moping around at a swinger's party. |
| 170 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: He makes it look like Boyd tried to kill him so he can get voter sympathy and discredit Boyd's candidate at the same time. |

| 180 | |
| 181 | The police officer turned security chief for the Black Pike Mining Company. After his life is saved by Boyd, he agrees to run against Tillman Napier for Sheriff… Or at least that’s what we’re supposed to believe. [[spoiler: In reality he’s Drew Thompson; Former member of the Detroit Mob who tried (and failed) to kill Theo Tonin before making off with millions in cocaine and cash before faking his death, landing in Harlan County and putting down roots. ]] |
| 182 | ---- |
| 183 | * BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler: Becoming a police officer was just a way to be HiddenInPlainSight but after decades of doing the job he has become an honorable lawman who tries to do the right thing.]] |
| 184 | * BlatantLies: During an armed standoff he tells his opponents that he is dying of cancer and thus has nothing to lose. |
| 185 | * CoolOldGuy: He might be in his later years, but Shelby is still a total badass who regularly outwits much younger people. |
| 186 | * DealWithTheDevil: With Boyd as the devil, albeit a NobleDemon. |
| 187 | * TheDogBitesBack: In season 4, he grows tired of the bullying and manipulation he endures from Boyd's criminal organization. He secretly provides sanctuary to Ellen May and tries to build a case against Boyd. |
| 188 | * FakingTheDead: [[spoiler: In order to get away from the FBI and to escape Theo Tonin's vengeance, he threw a man out of a plane and made everyone think that the dead man was him.]] |

| 192 | %%* HonourBeforeReason |
| 193 | * HookersAndBlow: While serving in the Vietnam War, he met Arlo outside of a brothel. |
| 194 | * ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: While not a bad guy, he technically is this to everyone who dabbled in crime in Harlan in the past few decades - his cocaine and cash essentially transformed the shitkickers of Kentucky into crime lords.]] |
| 195 | * MoralMyopia: Raylan and Rachel accuse him of this. They do not believe that he really regrets [[spoiler: sabotaging Waldo's parachute and watching the man plummet to his death and think that he is still trying to justify his actions as something that he needed to do. ]] |
| 196 | * NiceGuy: Even when he is in Boyd's pocket, he's still a much more decent fellow than his opponent. |
| 197 | * ReformedCriminal: He was a [[spoiler: drug runner and murderer]] who became a (mostly) honest police officer. |
| 198 | * RefugeInAudacity: [[spoiler: And how. The man betrayed Theo Tonin, faked his own death, parachuted into Kentucky with enough coke to jumpstart the entire criminal economy in Harlan, became a police officer, and after losing that job managed to come back as sheriff of the entire county.]] Art in particular is especially impressed once he puts all the pieces together about him. |
| 199 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Shelby seems to dictate his actions by this; as Sheriff, he does work with Boyd if he sees it as harmless or for the greater good. |
| 200 | * SecretIdentity: [[spoiler: He's Drew Thompson with a new identity.]] |
| 201 | * TheSheriff: He was the Sheriff of Harlan County before ending up in Black Pike Security. He eventually gets his job back. |
| 202 | * WalkingSpoiler: Much of the fourth season hinges on the fact that he’s [[spoiler: actually Drew Thompson.]] |

| 208 | ->'''Played By:''' Creator/WilliamGregoryLee |
| 209 | |
| 210 | A corrupt deputy who worked under Doyle Bennett, Tillman Napier and Shelby Parlow before becoming Harlan County Sheriff himself, Nick Mooney is out only for himself, and will do anything to advance his career. He's in bed with numerous criminals, first working as muscle for Doyle as a member of the Bennett Police Department, and then working with, in order, the Dixie Mafia, Boyd Crowder, and Lee Paxton after transferring to the Harlan County Sheriff's Department. Smug, underhanded, and more than a little stupid, Mooney can be counted on to sell out his bosses as soon as he gets a better offer. |
| 211 | ---- |
| 212 | * AmbitionIsEvil: Mooney wants to be the sheriff so much that he typically betrays whoever is in charge at the time. |
| 213 | * AssholeVictim: Nick Mooney was a repulsive excuse for a lawman, so not many tears were shed when Boyd arranges his murder. |
| 214 | * BigBadWannabe: He wants to be the all-powerful corrupt Sheriff. Yet even after Shelby is revealed as Drew Thompson, Mooney can't do any better than acting as someone else's hired thug. |
| 215 | * CharacterDeath: Capped in broad daylight during "Shot All To Hell". |
| 216 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Betrays Doyle to Boyd, Tillman to Shelby, Boyd to Paxton, and Paxton to Boyd. |
| 217 | * ConspicuouslyPublicAssassination: Boyd arranges for him to be murdered in a busy diner. |
| 218 | * DirtyCop: He's massively corrupt, working for the Bennetts, Boyd, and the Clover Hillers. |
| 219 | * DragonWithAnAgenda: To Doyle, and later begrudgingly to Doyle's come-and-go successors. |
| 220 | * DumbMuscle: For Doyle, Napier, Boyd and Paxton. |
| 221 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Mooney has a son with special needs. |
| 222 | * GroinAttack: Mara does this to him in "Good Intentions" while Boyd threatens him. |
| 223 | * {{Jerkass}}: Mooney is a vile, repulsive man who intimidates Mara with the implied threat of sexual violence. |
| 224 | * KarmicDeath: Shot to death in a diner by an agent of one of the men he betrayed. |
| 225 | * OpportunisticBastard: A ''very'' low-functioning one. Mooney has no real loyalty to anybody, and will gladly work for anyone who will advance his "law-enforcement" career, from Doyle Bennett to Lee Paxton. His refusal to just pick a side in the Boyd Crowder/Lee Paxton war is what ultimately gets him killed. |
| 226 | * {{Slimeball}}: He tries to clumsily play the white knight to a woman by her comatose husband's hospital bed. It makes the skin crawl. |
| 227 | * SmugSnake: He's overconfident of his abilities to an idiotic degree, believing that Boyd is scared of him. Boyd doesn't even view him as an equal, much less a threat. Doyle, Napier and Shelby were all smart and crafty but Mooney is too stupid to be anything but the muscle for someone else. |
| 228 | * TheStarscream: To whoever is the Sheriff at the time. |

| 243 | * JurisdictionFriction: Averted, despite being a State Trooper, he has no problem working alongside Raylan and tends to be quite helpful. |
| 244 | ** Played straight with the corrupt Doyle Bennett. Both Raylan and Bergen go from a relaxed posture to a resting their hands on their guns when Doyle pulls up on a crime-scene they're investigation. |
| 245 | * NiceGuy: Tom is just an affable and genial fellow. |

| 254 | |
| 255 | -->'''Raylan Givens:''' People underestimate Bob at their peril. |
| 256 | |
| 257 | A poorly paid constable eager to prove himself. |
| 258 | ---- |
| 259 | * TheAllegedCar: Drives a beat-up 1974 AMC Gremlin equipped with police lights, since the government doesn’t provide him with a vehicle and his salary is too meager to afford him a proper police car. |
| 260 | ** By the end of the series it’s shown Bob acquired a much more appropriate Ford Crown Victoria for his constable duties. |
| 261 | * ATeamFiring: During a gunfight with Gerald Johns and Lee Paxton, he pumped plenty of bullets into the house and landscape, but he couldn't hit either of his opponents. |
| 262 | * BerserkButton: DO NOT disrespect him while he is performing law enforcement duties. Two Clover Hillers belittled him when he came to their house on behalf of Raylan, resulting in a gunfight. |
| 263 | * {{BFG}}: He pulls out a machine gun during a gunfight with Gerald Johns and Lee Paxton and sprays their house with bullets. |
| 264 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: He might have an overinflated self-image, but he saved Raylan's life by using his knife at the right moment during a standoff. Also when Yolo was beating Bob for information, he found out the hard way that he probably should have taken Bob more seriously and had him tied up first. |
| 265 | * [[ChekhovsGun Chekhovs Knife]]: When we first see Bob, he brags about the knife he carries on his belt. The knife ends up saving the day later in the episode and then has a triumphant return many episodes later when it once again saves the day. |
| 266 | * CombatPragmatist: When Bob is cornered he does not fight fair. As a child he put a bully in a coma by hitting him on the head with a hammer. When shot at by two drunk Clover Hillers, he brings out [[MoreDakka an automatic assault rifle]]. He carries a knife on his belt specifically so that during a close-up fight he can stab his opponent in the groin or leg. |
| 267 | * CorneredRattlesnake: In high school, he clobbered a bully with a hammer during shop class. Yolo also found out Bob can be dangerous when cornered. |
| 268 | * CrazyPrepared: Bob tries to be this, wearing a knife to use on someone going for his gun, and keeping a "go-bag", complete with loaded assault rifle, in his squad car. |
| 269 | * CowardlyLion: Bob does let his fear get to him. Not that it stops him from stepping up when he's needed. |
| 270 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: As Raylan says, people under-estimate Bob at their peril. He endures brutal torture from a Tonin henchman, and even manages to turn it around on his captor, killing Yolo with his knife while not even being able to stand. |
| 271 | * {{Determinator}}: Bob's chief asset. He may not be on the same level as Raylan or Boyd when it comes to genuine combat skills, Bob will simply ''not go down easy,'' as many opponents have learned to their detriment. |
| 272 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Bob's story regarding the bully he took out with a hammer in high school. It shows that when Bob is outmatched, he will do ''anything'' to win. |
| 273 | * HeroWorshipper: He feels the same way about Raylan that the fans do. |
| 274 | * IJustWantToBeBadass: Little Bob's dearest wish: but why, Bob, you were a badass all along! |
| 275 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He's a small town constable earning a pittance salary, but he constantly brags about how tough and well-equipped he is. |
| 276 | * LetsGetDangerous: Underestimating Bob is a ''very'' bad idea. When the chips are down, he shows just what he's capable of. |
| 277 | * MoralityPet: [[spoiler:For Raylan. In "Collateral", Raylan must choose between aiding an injured Bob and killing Boyd. Raylan chooses to drive Bob to the hospital, showing that he still clings to some semblance of a moral code.]] |
| 278 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He's on the receiving end of one from Yolo, before he kills Yolo in self-defense. |
| 279 | * RealMenGetShot: [[spoiler:When he confronts Boyd in "Collateral", Boyd shoots him twice. Raylan drives him to the hospital in time to save his life.]] |
| 280 | * TheReliableOne: May not be as big or as tough as Raylan, but he's always someone Raylan can rely on. |

[[spoiler:It's subverted in Season 6 when it's revealed he was forced to confess to set Ava up as an informant which resulted in him losing his job and his pension. Wynn Duffy also tortures him with a cattle prod for information.]] |

| 391 | |
| 392 | The highly competent Assistant US Attorney investigating Raylan's shootings. |
| 393 | ---- |
| 394 | * AmoralAttorney: A notable aversion; while his actions may be antagonistic, he's only adhering to the law. Vasquez isn't corrupt or amoral, and let's be honest, it's perfectly reasonable to want to investigate a man of the law who shot someone in ambiguous circumstances. |
| 395 | * BigGood: Spearheads the case to take down Boyd Crowder. |
| 396 | * TheBusCameBack: He was recurring in Season 1, and only returned in Season 3. Since then he's turned up off and on. |
| 397 | * DeadpanSnarker: Oh, massively. Every other line is a witty putdown of some sort. |
| 398 | * DefeatEqualsFriendship: Once the investigation against Raylan is behind them, he and Raylan enjoy a pretty friendly relationship (even if it is VitriolicBestBuds). |
| 399 | * GoodIsNotNice: Vasquez can be a jerk from time to time, but only when pursuing cases. It may be part of a charade he puts on. |
| 400 | * GoodIsNotDumb: He's one of the sharpest characters on the show. |
| 401 | * FriendlyEnemy: He's not Raylan's enemy, per se, but he's the guy who's always trying to prosecute Raylan for his latest CowboyCop stunt. Subverted with [[FauxAffablyEvil Katherine Hale]], despite their FirstNameBasis with each other. What seems initially like small talk between the two is filled with vitriol. |
| 402 | * HeroAntagonist: He helps out Raylan when he can, but he's still an attorney and has to prosecute anything Raylan does that's illegal. [[spoiler:In "Collateral", when Raylan goes rogue, he sends out a BOLO for Raylan and intends to indict him.]] |
| 403 | * ItsPersonal: With Katherine Hale. |
| 404 | * {{Jerkass}}: He lashes out at Art and Rachel in "Fugitive Number One" after Ava runs by accusing them of being dirty, which naturally infuriates Art. Later, when [[spoiler:Raylan goes rogue]] in "Collateral", Vasquez lashes out at the staff of the marshals' office, knocking papers off a man's desk and telling everyone that they're accessories to a crime. However... |
| 405 | * JerkassHasAPoint: His repeated insistence that Ava is an unreliable CI and that Raylan is too close to her is entirely correct, and his case against Boyd goes south fast. |
| 406 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:In "Trust", he's frustrated with Ava's poor performance as a CI and decides that she will return to prison once Boyd is arrested. This makes Ava so desperate that she shoots Boyd and flees with the $10 million he stole from Markham, jeopardizing the case against Boyd.]] |
| 407 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Vasquez is doing his job, and he does it well. This means he cuts through the bullshit but is sympathetic to circumstances and character. |
| 408 | * SharpDressedMan: Always clad in a nice suit. |
| 409 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Raylan, eventually. |

| 421 | ---- |

| 423 | * [[BunnyEarsLawyer Bunny Ears Judge]]: Very eccentric, his underwear choices are funny, and he is always armed (especially in court), but he is competent and can't be corrupted. In his first episode he basically admits that his kookiness is a put-on: if people think he's loco they're less likely to oppose him. |

| 427 | * GoodIsNotSoft: He has a reputation for delivering maximum sentences to criminals. He's called "the Hammer" for a reason. |
| 428 | * HangingJudge: Mike is infamous for handing out tough sentences. |
| 429 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mostly to the people he's judging, for whom he shows no sympathy. He also has something of a temper. Still, he does try and do the right thing, and is haunted by a past mistake. |

| 431 | * MyGreatestFailure: The Kit [=McKendrie=] case. Reardon gave [=McKendrie=] a light sentence, only to learn that [=McKendrie=] shot a child and a law enforcement officer soon after. Reardon now gives much more severe sentences to criminals. |

| 443 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: After getting the news that Ava's is being moved to a more high-security facility and there's a new set of charges against her, Wildman goes to inform Boyd. He needs a drink to deliver the news, and can hardly be blamed for it. |
| 444 | * SmarterThanYouLook: Geist is well-aware that he's paid to stick headphones in his ears, but he claims to be a good lawyer and such a claim has been backed up so far. Every suggestion Ava makes, Geist has already thought of. |

| 476 | * BaldOfEvil: He's not as bald as Nicky or as evil as Nicky, but he's still a shiny-headed DirtyCop. Perhaps in the Justified world, baldness is directly related to evil. In which case, they ought to keep an eye out for Art. |
| 477 | * BoomHeadshot: Courtesy of Nicky Augustine. |
| 478 | * CharacterDeath: Not only does he fail Nicky Augustine and the Tonins when it comes to finding Drew Thompson, but he makes things worse by trying to con money out of them. Nicky has enough and casually shoots him in the head. |
| 479 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Nick Augustine. |
| 480 | * DeadpanSnarker: In a very {{Jerkass}} way. |
| 481 | * DirtyCop: He secretly worked for the Tonins before his death in "Kin". |
| 482 | * EvilIsPetty: Still holds a grudge against Raylan. |
| 483 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: Behind those little glasses lurks the soul of a true opportunistic bastard. |
| 484 | * {{Greed}}: And it gets him killed. |
| 485 | * HiddenDepths: After the audience has watched him behave like a jerk for several seasons, they get to see his jovial, friendly side when he talks with his childhood friend Nick Augustine. Before Nick murders him, that is. |
| 486 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Barkley believes Raylan to be dirty and working for the Tonins. This may be averted, though; given the later revelation of his status as TheMole, it seems highly likely he'd know whether or not Raylan was dirty and was just helping his mobster friends take him out of the equation by impeding him. |
| 487 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He goes after Raylan for ostensibly being 'dirty' when Barkley himself is massively corrupt. |
| 488 | * {{Jerkass}}: A massive one. Even when he's not on-screen. He's briefly spoken to on the phone (off-screen) in Season 4, and simply hangs up when Art tries to speak with him. |
| 489 | * JurisdictionFriction: Barkley is disrespectful toward other law enforcement agencies; it's notable, considering the general portrayal of law enforcement agencies on the show depicts them as working together. |
| 490 | * TheMole: For the Tonins. |
| 491 | * MoleInCharge: Barkley leads the FBI team monitoring Sammy Tonin, but he works for the Tonin family. |
| 492 | * NeverMyFault: He fails to apologize to Raylan, and actually tries to maintain that Raylan is guilty despite all the shaky evidence being thrown out. |
| 493 | * OpportunisticBastard: Barkley isn't a planner, but he does try to seize an opportunity for himself by trying to cheat Nicky out of a ridiculous amount of cash. It doesn't work out for him. |
| 494 | * SurprisinglySuddenDeath: It's arguable; re-watching his death scene gives all kinds of hints as to what's coming. The atmosphere in the room, Nicky's anger disguised as buddy-buddy ball-busting...but it's still a shock when he's abruptly shot in the head. |
| 495 | * StupidBoss: In his pursuit of Raylan for being 'dirty', he ignores blatant evidence pointing to such an accusation being false. Or perhaps he was just working on the orders of the Tonin family until he couldn't keep the charade up anymore without drawing suspicion to himself. Whatever the case is, it was still a stupid idea to try and trick Nicky Augustine into paying him for a job he knew he wouldn't be able to do. |
