CASSIUS FLAVIUS as the CORRUPT POLITICIAN
This politician sees the world through jade-colored glasses. He thinks it's a Crapsack World, with black-and-gray morality. He's gotten family members appointed to positions and his friends get the government contracts he doesn't keep for himself. A constituent who comes to him for help had better be ready to hand over a juicy "campaign donation".
Abusing and twisting the system for their own ends some are fully criminal and allied with The Mafia or some other criminal organization. They use their insider status to steer police investigations away from their crimes and exploit loopholes, engineer loopholes, or simply get rid of the law on their behalf. In the worst-case scenario, a particularly powerful, competent, and ruthless Corrupt Politician will be a fully-fledged Diabolical Mastermind.
