The Gentlemen Character Profiles
Eddie Horniman
Edward “Eddie” Horniman is a former British Army captain who unexpectedly inherits the dukedom of Halstead and its sprawling family estate. The inheritance brings an unwelcome discovery: the grounds house a large cannabis operation run by Susie Glass’s family. Disciplined and measured, Eddie initially tries to resolve the danger through conventional means, including selling estate assets to settle his brother Freddy’s debts. His military composure and growing willingness to negotiate with criminals make him an increasingly capable, if reluctant, participant in the underworld.
Susie Glass
Susan “Susie” Glass represents her father Bobby’s criminal syndicate while he is in prison, overseeing its cannabis operation on the Halstead estate. Presented publicly as an antiques dealer, she is a composed, practical negotiator who understands how to balance business, risk and family loyalty. Susie becomes Eddie Horniman’s guide to the criminal world tied to his inheritance, helping him navigate the estate’s hidden enterprise and its dangerous associates. Her partnership with Eddie is shaped by mutual necessity, though she remains firmly connected to her father’s organisation.
Lady Sabrina
Sabrina Horniman, the Dowager Duchess of Halstead, is the mother of Eddie, Freddy and Charly. In a family unsettled by the Duke’s death and Eddie’s unexpected inheritance, she offers a principled counterweight to her sons’ increasingly criminal entanglements. Sabrina is idealistic and maintains the moral high ground, even as Freddy’s debts and the estate’s hidden cannabis business draw the family into danger. Her disapproval reflects a genuine concern for her children, but it cannot by itself remove the pressures surrounding Halstead.
Geoff Seacombe
Geoffrey Seacombe is the long-serving gamekeeper of Halstead Manor, a familiar and trusted presence on the Horniman estate. His role gives him a close connection to the grounds at the centre of Eddie’s inheritance and the cannabis operation concealed there. Taciturn and capable, Geoff is more comfortable with practical matters than drawing attention to himself. His loyalty to the estate and its family makes him a steady ally as Eddie confronts the unexpected responsibilities—and criminal complications—of becoming the new Duke.
Jack Glass
Jack Glass is Susie Glass’s brother and part of the family surrounding Bobby Glass’s criminal empire. His connection to the organisation places him within the world of the cannabis business operating on the Halstead estate, where Susie handles much of its management and negotiation. Jack’s family ties are central to his position, linking him to both Susie and their imprisoned father. He belongs to a criminal network where loyalty and business overlap, as Eddie’s inheritance brings the Glass family’s interests into direct contact with his own.
Freddy Horniman
Lord Frederick “Freddy” Horniman is Eddie’s older brother, an unreliable aristocrat whose cocaine use and poor decisions leave him deeply indebted to a violent crime family. Although their father bypasses him in favour of Eddie when passing on the dukedom, Freddy remains a central concern for his younger brother, who tries to keep him alive and contain the fallout. Impulsive and entitled, Freddy can turn a tense negotiation into a crisis, making his debts a dangerous complication for the whole Horniman family.
