Characterization

I was randomly thinking of my life if I was an actor. Thinking of the kind of roles I would accept really had me visualizing a reality on the set of a movie/tv show, in character, delivering my lines of the scene. My character is on the borderline of being an ally or adversary. The type of blackballing character that you won't know about until they are pushed into the corner. Willing to risk everything on the notion that you have no other choice. You may think you have him, but he has calculated your every move, decided the outcome for a number of scenarios and today you just happen to walk upon the one where he has no other choice.

He has some type of dirt on you that could bring you to ruin. For generic purposes, lets say its the sordid details of your past. You know you can't take him out because in the eyes of the world, you two are working for the same cause. And if you were to take him out, the evidence left behind wouldn't be enough to clear your name. Remember, he has calculated your every move.

It is this type of character that I would wish to portray. Looking on it, the character has a familiarity to The Dark Knight. The key difference is, my character would work alone; Batman is able to truly get away with things because is friends with the Police Commissioner. What would qualities would your character possess?
