CHALKIE BOARDWALK EMPIRE SERIES

He and Eli were jealous of the attention Susan got from Elenore because of her illness. Susan was a sickly child and died of tuberculosis during Nucky's childhood. He has a younger brother, Eli, and a sister, Susan. Nucky is the first son of Ethan and Elenore Thompson. His expectations are proven right, but at the same time the new business turns out to be more challenging than expected, and consumes his personal life as the gangs competing for a share of the profit become more and more violent. Part corrupt politician, part gangster, part crime boss, and all-greedy, Nucky senses the opportunity to further increase his fortune and power through bootlegging when Prohibition becomes official nationwide on January 16, 1920. He also treated Jimmy Darmody as a surrogate son and protégé when he was growing up, partly out of guilt in his role in exposing his mother Gillian Darmody to being raped by The Commodore when she was only 12, which resulted in Jimmy's conception. He had a casual relationship with former Ziegfield Follies dancer Lucy Danziger for three years by 1920. He has been consumed by his work since but has had superficial relationships with girlfriends. Nucky's first wife Mabel Thompson killed herself in 1905 after losing their infant son. He became involved in politics during his teens under the wing of Commodore Louis Kaestner, whom he eventually succeeded when Kaestner was convicted of election fraud in 1912. His father Ethan Thompson was physically abusive during his childhood. His sister Susan Thompson died of tuberculosis when they were children. In addition, Thompson's political influence extends well beyond his official jurisdiction in Atlantic County, as he managed two successful election campaigns for Walter Edge sending him to the US Senate as well as making sure he was appointed governor, and he is reputed to have the final say among the New Jersey delegation when it is time to nominate a new Republican presidential candidate. Very little happens in 'The World's Playground' that he doesn't know about. Nevertheless, the shrewd and charming Nucky is as beloved by the people of Atlantic City as he can be, shaking all the right hands, kissing all the right babies, and investing no small part of his money back into those same businesses, parties and charities. His popularity is particularly high among Irish immigrants (he being the eldest son of one) and the African-American community, which he controls through his ally Chalky White. Nucky, following in the steps of his predecessor and mentor, Louis Kaestner, is the boss of a political and criminal organization that controls every business (whether legal or illegal) and aspect of life in Atlantic City. His brother, Eli Thompson is the Atlantic County Sheriff.
