Pinkie is the central villain of Brighton Rock and the dominant figure of the novel. Much of Greene's narrative is dedicated to following Pinkie in his struggle to control the ramifications of his first murder. He is a sixteen-year-old thug who leads a much older gang in Brighton and obsesses about eternal damnation.
