How can you not love Jimmy? Though he is never the guy to be involved at the deepest level with Tommy and Arthur, he is a trusted and close friend of both.

Not only did Jeremiah fight with Tommy, Arthur, & Freddie in the tunnels underneath no man's land during the First World War, he also was the only man to come out of the experience and vow to never pick up a weapon again. Where Tommy and the boys fight, stab and shoot their way through Peaky Blinders, Jimmy is only ever involved when there is a religious ceremony to be had.

His devotion to the cloth divides him from the rest of his friends, though they clearly have a huge respect for him, we know that Tommy isn't exactly a man of God and that Arthur had his secular crisis before coming to the conclusion that he was 'Old Testament'.

In fact, the only time Jeremiah is willing to break his vow is when Kimber and his men try to attack Small Heath. Then he agrees to handle a weapon again to defend his home.

Though he wasn't seen much through the show, Jeremiah is a great character and lifts the screen whenever he is around.
