List of Peaky Blinders characters
Peaky Blinders is a British period crime drama television series created by Steven Knight. Set in Birmingham, it follows the exploits of the Peaky Blinders crime gang in the direct aftermath of the First World War. The fictional gang is loosely based on a real urban youth gang by the same name, who were active in the city between the 1880s and the 1910s.
The programme premiered on 12 September 2013. It was broadcast on BBC Two, with repeats on BBC Four, until the fourth series. It then moved to BBC One for the fifth and sixth series.
Thomas Michael “Tommy” Shelby (portrayed by Cillian Murphy) is one of the main protagonists of Peaky Blinders. He is the son of Arthur and Mrs Shelby, and the brother of Arthur, John, Ada, and Finn Shelby. As patriarch of the Shelby family, he leads the Peaky Blinders, a notorious criminal gang based in Birmingham.
During World War I, Tommy serves as a Sergeant Major and is decorated with medals for gallantry, which he discards into a canal upon returning home. The horrors of the war leave him deeply disillusioned and plagued by recurring nightmares. These experiences fuel his determination to improve his family's social standing and protect them from being mistreated.
After a bitter rivalry with the New York Mafia and amid the chaos of the Wall Street Crash, Tommy becomes a Member of Parliament for the Labour Party, entrusting the management of the family's legal business to his older brother, Arthur Shelby.
Tommy is respected in his community and regarded as dangerous by his enemies. Under his leadership, the Peaky Blinders transforms from a local street gang into a national organization, clashing with major entities, such as the New York Mafia. His wartime experiences make him fearless and nearly impossible to intimidate. Despite his violent ways, Tommy shows moments of remorse, reflecting on his actions throughout the series.
By the fifth series, Tommy is deeply depressed and struggles with suicidal thoughts, attempting to take his own life multiple times. After the death of Polly Gray, he becomes sober and gives up drinking. Later, he is falsely diagnosed with an inoperable tuberculoma, leading him to demolish his home, say farewell to his family, and retreat into the wild to live alone. Upon his return, he watches as his wagon and remaining possessions burn before riding away into the unknown.
Arthur Shelby Jr. (portrayed by Paul Anderson) is one of the central protagonists of Peaky Blinders. He is the eldest son of Arthur and Mrs. Shelby and the older brother of Tommy, John, Ada, and Finn. Arthur is married to Linda Shelby, and together they have a son, Billy Shelby. A key member of the Peaky Blinders, he serves as the Deputy Vice President of Shelby Company Limited and plays a pivotal role in the Industrial Cleaners Association (ICA), working as his brother Tommy's assistant.
