Interpreter:

After a traumatic experience during the First World War, where he fought in the Battle of Verdun and the Somme, Thomas took over the family business: racketeering and protection, smuggling of tobacco and alcohol, illegal betting... By his ambitious nature and business acumen, Thomas quickly transformed the small Birmingham gang into a veritable empire, creating the Shelby Company Limited, expanding to London and eventually competing with the New York mafia during the prohibition on alcohol.
Highly respected by his family and the people of Small Heath whom he cares for, he is nevertheless merciless towards anyone who dares to threaten his entourage or authority. He has a much calmer personality than his brothers and is very observant, which turns to his advantage in many situations.
