The Gentlemen

Season 1

Reveal Season 1 story spoilers

Pete becomes one of the outside bidders when Bobby announces the sale of his cannabis operation. Eddie and Susie tell Mercy that Pete has won, manipulating her into killing him so that she can take his place. His bid is therefore used as bait in their elimination of the competition.[1][2][3]

Personality

Reveal story spoilers

Netflix describes him as a smug scammer. His willingness to enter the bidding places him among opportunists seeking a much larger share of criminal power, but the available evidence does not establish an elaborate private motive or personal history.[1][2][3]

Source coverage

Some details are not yet documented by the cited sources; an unrecorded storyline does not establish that a character is absent.

  • Physical Appearance. A verified in-character description is not yet recorded; actor portraits do not establish character appearance.[4][3][5][1]
