Interpreter:

Despite being the elder of the Shelbys, Arthur is not the leader of the Peaky Blinders, but Thomas' right-hand man. He fought in World War I with the latter. He suffers from numerous shell-related traumas and post-traumatic stress related to his wartime experience. He is prone to violent outbursts of anger and mood swings that are sometimes expressed through suicide attempts.
Under Linda's influence, he became more religious and became more calm and compassionate. Wishing to get him back on track, she urged him to stop drinking and fighting, which earned him mockery from the other members of the Peaky Blinders. However, his combatant nature and his dissolute manners quickly regained the upper hand.sus.
