4. Aberama Gold - Peaky Blinders
Aberama Gold, introduced in Peaky Blinders' 4th season and played by the supremely talented Aiden Gillen, is a powerful ally to Tommy Shelby. A Romany-Gypsy hitman for hire, he is instrumental in working for the Shelby family when American mobster Luca Changretta arrives on the scene with a vendetta against the entire family.
In season 5, Gold seeks vengeance himself when his son is murdered and crucified by Jimmy McCavern, leader of Glasgow gang The Billy Boys. McCavern is found to have ties with real-life fascist leader Oswald Mosley, whom the Peaky Blinders have plans to assassinate.
Gold agrees to work with the Blinders on the provision that they allow him to kill McCavern as revenge. Unfortunately just as he is preparing his assassination, he is ambushed by one of McCavern's men and stabbed to death himself.
