I was thinking of Papa Lo

Josey Wales is also an excellent character but not sympathetic in the same way, or at all, from what I remember

tho I did like that the gangsters, at least the important ones, were three-dimensional figures with agency

rather than stereotypical rude bwoys or badmen or whatever
Yeah they all felt well founded which if you know who they were based on it has an interesting layer to it(in the last couple months I've learnt that I'm related to the son of one of em)

Josey Sales is interesting in that her never sympathetic at all but when he "mysteriously" dies in his cell you miss him
