Who is Berlin in Money Heist?

The elegant tyrant · The Crew

Berlin (The elegant tyrant) is a character in Money Heist, part of The Crew. Berlin commands the Mint operation from inside: a jewel thief of twenty-seven heists, terminal diagnosis in his blood and aristocratic theater in everything else. He treats the hostages as an audience, the crew as a court, and morality as a dress code other people wear badly. Cruel, courtly, and devoted to the Professor in the operation's deepest secret, Berlin is the man you'd never trust — placed, deliberately, where trust matters most.
