As I said above this fence is the one that Nathan and his friends live and work for, he is Caucasian, he is a fence (fence as in the type of criminal), he falls into the trope The Fagin, he is a bad guy who isn't revealed to be a bad guy at first, has them steal for him, usually through pickpocketing, the Short Con or both, he is the hidden secondary antagonist of the film, he is similar to Fagin from Oliver Twist, Hamegg from Astro Boy, Fagin from Oliver and Company, and Maxwell "Wizard" Wallace from August Rush.

And to let you know what a fence is, a fence (also known as receiver, mover, or moving man) is an individual who knowingly buys stolen goods in order to later resell them for profit. The fence acts as a middleman between thieves and the eventual buyers of stolen goods who may not be aware that the goods are stolen.
