Michael Gray was ambitious. He wanted to take over the family, in hopes he would lead it to something better. He wanted to save the people he loved from the wrongdoings of Tommy Shelby, the man with the touch of death. He wanted to protect his mother from a certain death because there would be nothing else for her but Death.
Michael Gray was ambitious. He wanted to prove himself to his family. He wanted to prove himself to his peers, to his friends, to whoever gave him a speck of attention. He wanted to show that he was a man, a leading man and Tommy Shelby was unfortunately like a thorn stuck in his side. Tommy was seen as the rightful leader, the messiah of the Shelby family. They all looked up to him and followed his orders as if he could never be wrong. Michael hated it. He wanted to take over.
Michael Gray was ambitious. He wanted Mary's love. He wanted her affection. no matter what he did, she always chose Tommy. He was popular with the ladies, wasn't he? He was desired, demanded, courted even and any other woman wouldn't have made Michael angry. Mary's love for Tommy set him on fire. He hated that she picked Tommy. He hated that she rejected him (no matter how polite she had been when she did that). He hated that she didn't love HIM! Michael lusted for Mary. He dreamed of her at night, fucked her when he was fucking his wife...Daydreamed about her and wished he could have had her.
But he didn't.
So if he couldn't have her, then he would make sure that Tommy lost her. Archibald was a mistake but he would try another time. He would try anything to make her fall out of love with the King of Birmingham. Trust Michael Gray to at least try.
