Gentlemen Jim Stacey/ Jim the Gent

Post » Wed Aug 25, 2010 8:32 am

I was watching the classic hit a few days ago, when I saw Robert Deniro steal a truck full of cigarattes. The lead role began saying just how much Jim(Deniro) liked stealing. And that he was actually a gentlemen about it. Therefore, he was nicknamed Jim the Gent. In the Thieves Guild, you revive the Bal Molagmer under the graces and nudges of the Master Thief in Morrowind, Gentlemen Jim Stacey.

I was just wondering if there was any correlation between the two?(As far as the naming of Gentlemen Jim Stacey came about.)

Thank-you

Probably an homage, a reference meant to be recognized and appreciated by someone as yourself. There's a lot of stuff like that. Of course, the idea of the gentleman thief is pretty common.

Indeed and I have a vauge memory of a legend about a Thief that was known as "Gentleman [something]".

So it's probably a very used term for a great and known Thief.

Only if said thief wears a "rosetted" pony tail, cravat, and pastel-coloured clothes :dance:
Of course, he could for the more strict, down-played 19-century style as well, but then he would also have to abandon decadency for manners, and what fun is that?
