'Peaky Blinders' Season 5: Let's talk about Aberama Gold, Aiden Gillen's character who once had a thing with Polly

The Roman gypsy was hired to chop off Luca Changretta's men who were threatening the Shelby family, and he soon became a close associate of Thomas and Polly.

There can be no other more guileful murderer than Aberama Gold (Aidan Gillen) on television at present. The Romany gypsy was introduced to us in Season 4 of BBC One's 'Peaky Blinders', when Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy) was on the brink of a war with the New York-born Italian mafia leader, Luca Changretta (Adrien Brody).

Thomas had hired Aberama to slay Luca's men, so that he could later take down Luca on his own.  However, Aberama, unlike other hired assassins, did not ask for a fortune for his work but instead told Thomas that he would like to see his son Bonnie become a boxing champion, and asked him to fix a match for him.
