Now, onto Sykes. While he does seem to be one of the more obvious examples, it might help to go over reasons for ambiguity just to make sure. His on-screen cruelty is mostly towards Fagin, who is also a criminal, and is implied to owe a lot of money he repeatedly fails to pay back. This isn\'t to say it justifies Sykes\' cruelty, but it seems to put him in a position to claim a sort of {{Knight Templar}}ish role. There\'s also Sykes\' [[MoralEventHorizon kidnapping of Jenny]], wherein he Jenny to a chair, and chases Fagin\'s vehicle by limo when Fagin tries to free Jenny, but Sykes at least doesn\'t seem to be as cruel to Jenny as he was to Fagin.
