Affable Gangster

**Keith**, better known as **Goldface**, is a supporting antagonist turned character in the *Arrowverse*, serving as a minor antagonist in Season 5, 6, 8, and a major protagonist in Season 9 of *The Flash*.

He is a notorious gangster and black market dealer infamous for his caution that became a recurring enemy of Team Flash after exposing Barry and Ralph when they infiltrated his business. Ultimately, he ended up joining Team Flash as a part of their Rogues team, helping take down Red Death in the process.

## What Makes Him Magnificent?

* He built a highly successful black market operation by always switching locations/scrambling signals at the location and notoriously cuffing potential buyers with meta-dampening cuffs with attached explosives while they were in his market to ward off any potential betrayals.
* He is hilariously affable, witty, and charming. It also helps that he's well-read and has sophisticated taste in literature, even holding a book club with his employees. He's also the one that coins the moniker "Red Death" for the first Big Bad of the final season based on the famous Edgar Allen Poe story.
* He conducted a fool-proof test to expose Barry and Ralph as heroes and revealed he was watching them the whole time after they took down his men.
* After the two agreed to meet up with him, he deactivated his belt that could detonate the explosive cuffs out of respect and gave them a fairer duel to the death.
* While Barry and Ralph were able to defeat him, Goldface prevented them from getting the gadget they came all the way for to recover in the first place.
* He let Amunet do the work of recovering the second machine needed to create an artificial environment for the telepathic flower they both sought from Team Flash and ambushed her at the flower's location.
* He got back together with Amunet after the flower made them realize their love for each other and applied their counselor's words to their criminal enterprises, uniting them as one in order to increase profits.
* He took over the CCPD with a surprise gas attack.
* Despite being beaten at the last second thanks to Captain Kramer and the Flash, he took his defeat quite well.
* He exploited the justice system to get out of prison on a loophole by revealing Amunet as the mastermind of their previous operation.
* Despite having every reason to hate and kill Barry, he remained pragmatic and agreed to help him take down the Red Death that posed a threat to both of them.
* His increasing skepticism over Barry Allen's resources and plan eventually led him to learn that Barry was the Flash.
* When it seems like all hope is lost, he goes back to prison to reconcile with Amunet.
* He comes back with the other Rogues to surprise attack Red Death and save Barry, with Goldface specifically being the one that stops Red Death from delivering the killing blow with his golden chain, allowing Barry and later Batwoman to both defeat Red Death.
* Despite making a semi-redemption and bascially becoming a part of Team Flash, he hilariously was still selling meta-disabling weaponry on his black market right under Team Flash's noses.

## What Makes Him a Baddie?

* He is a deadly black market dealer that has no problems selling things like cop-killing guns or stealing a lifesaving 3-D organ printer to profit off it.
* After taking over the CCPD, he threatened to kill a police officer for every minute Barry and Kramer didn't turn themselves in and give him the metahuman cure bullets he was after.
