September 9, 2010.〕 Nucky is employed as treasurer of Atlantic County, New Jersey, but in effect controls the region as a political boss. Nucky is a corrupt and powerful Republican politician who leads a double life as a gangster, and continuously struggles to meet his interests on both fronts. Charming and intelligent, he is adored by the people of Atlantic City, especially its poor and immigrant inhabitants, for his numerous acts of charity. However, in private he has a tight grip on the politics and vice of Atlantic City. Throughout the series he is portrayed as a Machiavellian politician who makes his henchmen do the dirty work, while showing a more humane side to his friends and family. However, by the end of season 2 he is shown becoming more ruthless in order to compete in the violent bootlegging business.〔

==Fictional biography==
Nucky was born and raised in New Jersey, the eldest child of a poor Irish Catholic family. He had a troubled childhood: His father, Ethan Thompson (Tom Aldredge, Ian Hart as a young man), was an abusive alcoholic who at one point scarred Nucky's hand with a fireplace poker, and his sister Susan died of tuberculosis. As a child, Nucky began working for Atlantic City political boss Commodore Louis Kaestner (Dabney Coleman), who became his mentor in politics. For a time, Nucky attended New Jersey State Normal School in Trenton and planned on becoming a teacher. However, he left college and returned to Atlantic City when the Commodore needed him. As a young man, he worked his way up the ladder to become deputy sheriff. He became sheriff after he arranged for the Commodore to have sex with Gillian Darmody (Gretchen Mol), who was only 13 at the time. Fifteen years prior to the series' timeline, Nucky lost his infant son, Enoch Jr., to pneumonia, a tragedy that drove his wife, Mabel, to commit suicide.
Nucky helped raise Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt), the Commodore's son with Gillian, providing the boy with the guidance he lacked from his indifferent father and pulling strings to get him into Princeton University. Nucky is disappointed when Jimmy drops out of college to enlist in World War I, but still gives him a job as his personal driver after the war ends. When Jimmy finds out that Nucky enabled the Commodore to rape Gillian,〔 it creates a rift between them that sets the stage for a major conflict in season two.
