Case File 02 / Psychological Report
A London racecourse boss and established underworld power, Darby Sabini represents the criminal order Tommy is trying to invade. He is not glamorous rebellion; he is old protection money with teeth.
Sabini's psychology is territorial dominance. He has power because people already know the cost of crossing him, so Tommy's arrival is not just competition but insult. Sabini's violence is corrective: he wants the outsider put back in place.
His conflict is that established power can become brittle. He understands intimidation but underestimates Tommy's appetite for asymmetrical war. In real life he would be dangerous through networks, favors, and public humiliation rather than visionary strategy.
