Richard Harrow

Richard Harrow was a disfigured war veteran, criminal, and friend of fellow veteran, Jimmy Darmody. He acted as Darmody's bodyguard and bootlegging partner. Richard Harrow is a seemingly calm but deeply troubled and ultimately tragic character. He is not just surrounded by death but finds himself useful chiefly as an instrument of death.

Harrow was a marksman in the US Army during World War I. A war injury caused substantial damage to the left side of his face; he lost his eye, most of his cheek bone, the left half of his upper jaw and endured heavy scarring. In order to enter society with the least amount of distress, Harrow covers his scars with a tin plate that was molded to his face and painted to match his skin tone. Before the timeline of Boardwalk Empire, he had killed at least 55 German soldiers. One of which was a sniper he dueled for 3 days, and kept his mask as a trophy.

Jimmy's former mentor Nucky Thompson is the boss of a political and criminal organization controlling Atlantic City, New Jersey. Jimmy has been living in exile in Chicago because he has been linked to the murders he committed carrying out the Hammonton hijacking by both Arnold Rothstein and Prohibition Agents. When one of Nucky's casinos is robbed and his brother Eli is shot Nucky suspects that Rothstein is responsible. Fearing a war with Rothstein, Nucky meets with Jimmy at the Four Deuces to invite him back to Atlantic City. Harrow accompanies Jimmy to the meeting and is introduced to Nucky as a war buddy.

Harrow then accompanies Jimmy to Atlantic City where he becomes Margaret Schroeder's bodyguard after an assassination attempt is made on Nucky Thompson by Sixtus D'Alessio. Afterwards, he makes sporadic appearances as a hitman for Nucky with mutual enemies as well as his own desires to finally settle down with his own family in Wisconsin.

In 1924, he was sent to Harlem by Nucky to kill Dr. Valentin Narcisse, a rival of his closest ally, Chalky White. As he was set to pull the trigger, Chalky's daughter stepped in front of the bullet, which lead to her death. In a bit of grief, he reacted slowly as he was shot by one of Narcisse's men. He fought his way out of the club, still wounded, but, died out on a nearby beach under the boardwalk.
