Jimmy McCavern is a major antagonist in Peaky Blinders, serving as the secondary antagonist of Season 5. He is the leader of the Billy Boys and a member of the Glasgow razor gang. He is first introduced following the Wall St. Crash and is responsible for the death and crucifixion of Bonnie Gold.
McCavern is a cruel man who is not scared to use others to send a message. He left a scarecrow in Tommy's yard with a message for him despite the fact that Charles Shelby could have been injured by the minefield around. Moreover, he murdered Bonnie Gold in order to send a message to Tommy, showing no remorse for his actions as he strung him up on a cross.
He seems very strongly against catholics and gypsies, despite his temporary agreement with Thomas Shelby.
