Valentin Narcisse
fictional character from HBO. TV series
Dr. Valentin Narcisse is a fictional character from the HBO TV series Boardwalk Empire, portrayed by Jeffrey Wright. He is a prominent and highly educated underworld figure based out of Harlem, New York and a Black nationalist orator, active in Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Inspiration[edit]
Narcisse was based on Casper Holstein, a prominent New York mobster who came up from the Virgin Islands, and ultimately became the biggest and first massive numbers-runner in Harlem, early 1920s,” Wright explained numbers rackets" during the harlem Renaissance.[1]
Reception[edit]
Narcisse was the driving force behind the downfall of the few sympathetic characters on Boardwalk Empire, particularly Albert "Chalky" White (Michael K. Williams) and Daughter Maitland (Margot Bingham). His motivations often stem from the need to be right or the thrill of antagonizing people, and he is one of the few characters to never be shown in a good light. Although Wright joined the cast during the show's penultimate season, his character is often cited as one of the series' best villains.[2][3]

Biography[]
Background[]
He claims to have been born in Elgin, Texas, the son of a talented self-taught carpenter. A local notable, T.O. Purcell, heard about Chalky's father's reputation and hired him to build a massive, decorated bookcase in his new home. The work took ten months and after its completion his father brought Chalky to see it. However, the white carpenters in the town didn't like the competition this might bring them and under a scheme they brought Chalky's father out of town and hanged him on a pepper tree. Chalky claims that it was six men who did it; if accurate, this could imply that the young Chalky was present when his father was killed ("Anastasia"). It is known that his father-in-law dissaproved of him at first, believing him to be a "no account" because of where he was from and because he worked as a storefront employee. He claimed that Chalky was half Apache to disparage him. However, once Chalky proved himself dependable by helping him out when he ran into some trouble, his future in-law's perception changed. It is implied that Chalky may have "gotten rid of someone" for him ("Spaghetti and Coffee"). Chalky has shown himself to be a shrewd businessman and a charismatic leader.
Chalky had moved to Atlantic City by the late 1890s, where he ran dice games by the beach. It was there, in 1898, when he first met and began to pay then Sheriff Nucky Thompson a bribe destined to the town boss, the Commodore Louis Kaestner. In 1901 Chalky met the Commodore himself and learned that Nucky had been looking out for him during those three years, keeping him out of trouble. ("The Emerald City"). Chalky also paid bribes to Jim Neary when he was a cop. ("Ourselves Alone")
Eventually, Chalky amassed enough money and power to become the unofficial leader of the town's black community, centered on Atlantic City's North Side. Chalky would charge exorbitant sums of money and other favors to politicians, usually of the dominant Republican Party in exchange for 100 percent of the black vote. In return, Chalky distributed a small part of the wealth in gifts and money among the African-American community and intervened in their favor when they had a problem. He married up, to an educated, light-skinned African-American woman, Lenore White. By 1921 he has fathered three children: two teenagers, Lester and Maybelle, and an infant, Adeline. His house is one of the most luxurious in Atlantic City ("Ourselves Alone").

Season 2[]
- Main article: Chalky White Season 2

In February 1921 Chalky has just paid Jimmy Darmody for a liquor shipment when his warehouse is attacked by the Ku Klux Klan. They use a Maxim machine gun to pepper the warehouse, murdering 4 people in the process. Chalky however survives after one of his own shoots one of the attackers in the arm, causing them to panic and flee the scene. Chalky then grabs a rifle and shoots one of them in the neck, killing him.
The incident soon reaches Nucky Thompson and he along with Eli Thompson quickly meets with Chalky to discuss the situation. Chalky is angry because they are supposed to be protected from the Klan and is at first ready to end the partnership with Nucky, explaining that his people are behind him and that they are needed for the city to run. Nucky goes on explaining that if Chalky proceed in that fashion and it causes problems for his people, they will have more to lose than he does. Chalky agrees not to proceed that way and asks if Nucky will arrest him. Nucky assures him that for now he can handle it without arresting him.
Chalky is later seen listening to Nucky speaking to the black community, assuring them all that the responsible will be brought to justice.
The word soon gets around that the man Chalky shot, Herman Dacus has died from his neck injuries following Chalky shooting him which enrages the white community. This prompts Nucky to have Eli arrest Chalky for his own safety. Nucky himself is also arrested for election rigging. While in jail, Chalky first shares a cell with Nucky, discussing the possibility of the attack on the warehouse coinciding with the arrest of Nucky himself, they both suspect that something has changed and is afoul. Nucky is later released and he asks Chalky to be patient.

Later the same day, Chalky is visited by his wife, Lenore White whom brings him a book from their son Lester White. When Lenore later leaves, a man named Dunn Purnsley makes provocative comments about his wife.
Chalky and Dunn later ends up in the same cell and after Dunn's deduction that Chalky is illiterate, proceeds by mocking Chalky for it and makes it clear that he will beat Chalky up for thinking that he is "better" than him. Before Dunn however is able to do so, Chalky shows Dunn what kind of power he exercises and reveals that he actually knows every other cellmate present, all of them thankful to him for different kind of favors he has granted them. They proceed by beating Dunn to a bloody pulp and one of them later reads the book that Chalky was handed by his wife.
About a month later, Chalky is released from jail but with a trial still looming for him. He returns home to his family where he gets news that his daughter Maybelle White's beau Samuel Crawford has been invited to dinner the next day. Chalky approves of the dinner. During the breakfast he is again reminded that he is illiterate and that he really doesn't belong with the rest of his family that can all read and are light-skinned.
The same day, Chalky attends a gathering for the black community where Chalky as it's unofficial leader gets to answer questions and receives requests from fellow members of the community. The gathering however soon becomes very tense when many relatives of the dead victims in the warehouse asks Chalky out about what's being done about it and if they will ever be compensated for it, blaming him for always promising them services yet nothing ever gets done.
Returning home from the very unsuccessful gathering, Chalky starts to drink heavily and during the dinner with the his daughter's light-skinned beau gets upset about the dinner being served and is later sent into a rage when his wife apologizes for Chalky's "country ways". Samuel tells Chalky that he's sorry and prepares to leave, Chalky however stops him and comments that he is really the one that should go outside since he is the "field n**ger" unlike everyone else present. He gets up and leave for the garage were he starts to carve a stick.
Nucky and Chalky later agrees that his liquor operation should be started again and Chalky joins a coalition between Atlantic City, Philadelphia and New York where Charlie Luciano and Meyer Lansky will deliver Chalky the alcohol in Atlantic City. Chalky reminds them to flash their lights when they arrive since he will not take another chance of having the Klan attack them.
After an unsuccessful attempt on Nucky's life in the summer Nucky pretends to step down, needing time to retaliate. He then summons Chalky to meet with him. In the meeting Nucky asks Chalky to call a citywide African-American strike to give the black community the justice they deserve, Chalky is at first reluctant to do so during the tourist season because it would "shut the city down" but is assured by Nucky that that's exactly what he wants, since it won't be his problem after he has stepped down from his post. Chalky then agrees to this and orders the strike to be set up with the help of his former enemy Dunn Purnsley who will plant the seed among the African-American workers in the Ritz that they are not treated with respect, even though it's them who enables the city to run.
Dunn later comes to see Chalky to feed him information about their plan and he assures Chalky that the workers is as ready as can be and are only waiting for Dunn to give them the word and the strike will be in motion, Chalky orders him to do so and the strike is successfully triggered.
An attempt to thwart the strike is made by strike breakers trying to break up a rallying for strikers outside of The Ritz Carlton. After this fails, Chalky and Dunn have a meeting with the new ruler of Atlantic City, Jimmy Darmody. Chalky asks Jimmy out about his involvement in the moves made against his people, but Jimmy denies it being his idea. He offers Chalky the possibility of dropping the charges for the killing of Herman Dacus. Chalky doesn't think it's enough and, in addition to that, asks for $3,000 for each victim's family and the three remaining KKK members who were involved in the shooting. Jimmy agrees to the former, but not the latter, tipping his hand to Chalky that Jimmy and the Klan are on the same side. The meeting ends without a deal reached.

Jimmy's rule of Atlantic City is, however, soon put in extreme jeopardy with Nucky's successful moves against his organization as well as his wife being murdered. This prompts Jimmy to cave in to the demands of Chalky and as promised he delivers the three Klan members, $3,000 for each family and gets Chalky case dropped with the help of Governor Edwards. Chalky then agrees to call off the strike and also to set up a meeting between Jimmy and Nucky.

Chalky thinks that it is a good idea for her to marry Samuel, seeing it as good for their family as a whole, considering he eventually will become a doctor. Maybelle is not as convinced and explains to her father that she will never be ready to settle down with someone like Samuel, as he is not interesting enough. She eventually compares Samuel to the interesting life of her own father, asking Chalky about how he and her mother, Lenore met. This doesn't sit well with Chalky and he demands her to marry him, explaining to her that her life belongs to him.
Samuel and Maybelle go to Chalky's Honky Tonk later that evening. Samuel, not to happy about Maybelle's dismissal about his marriage proposal, asks her to give him a straight answer if she wants to marry her or not.

In May, after Gyp Rosetti has tried to have Nucky Thompson murdered by a bomb at Babbette's Super Club, Chalky visits Nucky to talk to him about rebuilding of Babbettes. However Nucky is in no condition to discuss that at the moment, he at one time mistakes Chalky for his shoeshiner Harlan. Chalky decides to wait with his proposition until the next time they'll meet.
The next time he arrives to Nucky's office, Nucky has become more lucid and Chalky decides to proceed with his plan. He explains to Nucky that he has a lot of financial backing and connections all around United States that will help him bring in the right acts to a new night club he wants to open on the Boardwalk where black people will work and perform while white people will be it's customers. He also makes it clear to Nucky that he will give him a proper cut of the profit from the club and that nobody wants to be reminded of what happened to the previous club. Nucky is however not as enthusiastic explaining that there is a line for what can be done and tells Chalky that he can't make a decision since he has other things to take care of for the moment. They continue to argue until Nucky angrily asserts that he has told Chalky how things stand and asks why he has a hard time understanding that. Chalky leaves Nucky very displeased.

Not many hours later, Joe Masseria and Gyp makes their move on Atlantic City and their men scattered all over town looking for Nucky. Nucky and his bodyguard Eddie Kessler however has managed to escape from town and arrives in the middle of the day at Chalky's Honky Tonker. Nucky asks Chalky for assistance in fighting Gyp as well as his help to find a doctor to treat the wounded Eddie.

Chalky calls upon Samuel to save Eddie, Samuel agrees to help them and they begin a surgery on Eddie to get the bullet out of his stomach. The surgery is however interrupted by Gyp who has arrived to the north side of town to ask Chalky about Nucky. Chalky walks outside and meets with him and during a long confrontation, weighs his option of giving up Nucky or protect him. He chooses the later and makes sure Gyp is on his way away from there.
Chalky however is worried that some of his men will give Nucky up, since Gyp has offered $25.000 to anyone giving information about Nucky's whereabouts. Nucky then asks Chalky to get him out of town, which Chalky agrees to help him with. In the middle of the night Chalky and Purnsley puts Nucky in the back of a pickup truck to transport him out of town. Along the way they are however stopped by three of Masseria's men. They end up killing them and Nucky then makes it clear to Chalky that it will be a price on his head as well from now on and that he won't leave his own town. Chalky then orders Dunn to head back to the Honky Tonker to fetch their men. They proceed by driving to a lumberyard where [Eli Thompson]]'s eldest son William Thompson is waiting for them and lets them in.
While hold up at the lumberyard, Nucky makes a promise to Chalky that if he get the town back he will give Chalky the club that he's been asking for. After hearing this Chalky decides to help Nucky in his war and the two shake hands. Seconds later cars arrives which the two first believe to be men there to kill them, but they actually turns out to be Dunn with their men from the Honker Tonker as well as Eli and Al Capone arriving with reinforcements from Chicago.

Nucky and his allies makes the lumberyard their headquarter and In the following days a turf war ensues in Atlantic City with both sides suffering casualties.
