Most Intelligent: 45-47


#47: Ralph Cifaretto, The Sopranos

*Spoiler Aler*
Tony Soprano would kill anybody for committing even a fraction of the sins Ralphie is guilty of. So why does he get away with it for most of the series? He is, by far, the best earner. Despite his unstable nature and his repeated violent outbursts (he beats a woman to death in one scene), it takes a conversation gone sour that leads to his demise at the hands of Tony, himself.

Weakness: Jealousy, anger, inability and/or unwillingness to predict consequences for his actions







#46: Batiatus, Spartacus

Batiatus, a master manipulator, convinces best friends to turn on each other, lies to his gladiators about the welfare of their families, and even stands by as he allows his own father to be killed to improve Batiatus' standing and preserve his lucrative business.

Weakness: His lack of trust dissolves key allies









#45: Sol Star, Deadwood

The co-owner of the hardware store at the beginning of the series, Sol later helps establish a bank in Deadwood. Star is so smart that he manages to almost single-handedly run the business, keep a spicy relationship with Trixie, and clean up that hot-headed partner Bullock's messes.

Weakness: He shies away from the affairs of the town, thus, misses out on valuable info
