He ends up being one of the characters I like the most on Justified, b/c, he should by every light be a terrible monster. And yet he's inevitably surrounded by monsters so much more terrible (including, at times, Raylan), he's like the local Tim Gunn.
This is a character, I realize (the diplomat by situation) that I love whenever I encounter, and yet one which I never natively try to write.
So it's late in the day for an LJ meme/inquiry, but if you have a character like that, I would love to know who it is.
