Alfred ‘Alfie’ Solomons - Jewish Gang Leader from 1920s London.
Age : 35 ( born 15 Feb // 17th of Sh'vat, 5652 // London )
Hair : short, dirty brown.
Body build : about 170 lbs ( 77 kg ) he is well built, as he does various things, physical work included, around his bakery. he also boxes, so.
Notable details : Scar on the right cheek - along the line of his jaw, another one through the right brow, his knuckles are always bruised or cut to the point of scarring. tattoos of crowns on his hands. he always wears rings and bracelets, rosemary he got from Sabini as a gift and a couple of medallions, golden pocket watch.
Hat - hat is an important detail. It belonged to his father.
He’s terminally ill - he has lung cancer, and as it progresses: red rash ( psoriasis ) on face and hands ( mostly knuckles and back of the hand ).
In verses after Margate - whole left side of his face is scarred and his left eye is completely blind.
Spoken languages : cockney english ( london raised, right ), yidish ( he’s jewish ), russian ( his motheris russian, she like to chat with him in her native language ) italian ( this one is simply all he picked up working with Sabini, so it’s just business vocabulary and basic grammar )
Job : owner and chairman of the Aerated Bread Company ( and baker in his free time ) gang leader of the ‘Stop at nothing’ gang ( Bessarabian Tigers // Yiddishers // Alfie Solomon’s East End Jews ) jeweller, ex-military from Royal Marines.
An intelligent, quick thinker who is very analytical and calculative - all his actions and schemes are planned and executed to gain a particular outcome.
He created a violent, unpredictable and simply barbaric, rabid and feral persona for himself
Witty, sarcastic, non-literal. And by this I mean he likes to have two conversations at once - one is a rant about nothing - and second, hidden in that rant - is game of metaphors and references.
Also annoying as hell, disrespectful and arrogant cause he is the one who demands respect and who is to be respected.
Liar and manipulator. Just - not only good with words - but also good with body language.
Good at reading other people. In the end, that’s his main ability - to predict what to do - to intimidate, threat, console or bribe - to get what he wants. And to do so, he has to read people like open books.
Restless, remorseless and ruthless. He likes to belive he is amoral. He is not, though. He just has the ability to silence his conscience, but it catches up with him when he isn’t cautious.
