* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When he is first introduced, Billy seems to be a very mellow, mild-mannered criminal who is on the path to reform, although he sneaks a snide remark at a parole officer while sweet-talking his sponsor. When they return to the clubhouse, he initially asks Johnny where his bike is before getting angry that they sold it to cover his legal fees, telling him off while referring to him as "friend" and "brother", showing that while Billy can act nice and reasonable when he feels it'll suit his purposes, but it's all a mask, hinting at his two-faced nature.

**It also shows how short-sighted he is, despite being the gang's leader. Instead of at least recognizing the necessity of selling his bike to avoid 15 years in prison, he is completely ungrateful and unconcerned when Johnny reminds him of people he maimed and killed with the bike, including the son of the Angels of Death, which made appeasing them necessary. Billy routinely ignores the consequences of his actions and does as he pleases, completely apathetic to any harm that's inflicted on those around him.

* EqualOpportunityEvil: In contrast to the Angels of Death (who are white supremacists) the Lost MC are more welcoming letting Clay (a black man) and Jim (mixed-race) join their group. They also have the crippled Angus serving as their mechanic. That doesn't mean they don't have bigoted members themselves like Brian or Billy.
