Pat Gallagher

Played by Stanley Townsend

A dangerous creditor whose plans for a prized falcon become part of Eddie’s political bargaining.

Biography

Pat is an Irish criminal and fight promoter with money to lend and legal trouble of his own. Oscar’s debt puts Pat in a position to demand both repayment and an unusual favor.[1][2]

The Gentlemen

Season 1

Reveal Season 1 story spoilers

The retrieved TVmaze record credits Pat Gallagher in 2x04, all in Season 2, and contains no Season 1 appearance. This is a statement about the scope of that published credit record, not a claim about an invented earlier life.[4]

Season 2

Reveal Season 2 story spoilers

Pat wants Oscar to collect a valuable falcon, which he plans to give a sheikh in exchange for help obtaining a Middle Eastern visa. When the bird is missing, he threatens to kill Oscar if it is not returned. Eddie and Susie recover it with Bella’s assistance, allowing the exchange to go forward. Eddie also speaks privately to the sheikh in Arabic, describing Pat as someone who requires caution but may prove useful.[1][2]

Personality

Reveal story spoilers

Pat treats debt as a tool of coercion and is ready to threaten lethal enforcement. At the same time, his visa plan shows an awareness that connections and relocation may be more useful than continuing to compete directly with Bobby at home.[1][2]

Notes

The recap calls the sheikh Khaled Suliman, while the episode-credit listing calls him Sheikh Abdullah Suliman. That unresolved first-name discrepancy is kept separate from Pat’s own confirmed identity.[1][2]
