[[caption-width-right:250:"You want the truth? You're nothing but a piece of ass. That's what I saw when I first talked to you in the office that day. 'Cause I knew you'd put out. That's all you're really good for: dirty, rough sex that I'm too ashamed to tell anyone about. That's how foul you are, you disgusting slut."]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Tom Verica

Annalise's husband, also a professor at Middleton. Revealed to be the corpse the students are trying to cover up in the first episode, and the identity and motivations of his killer is one of the {{Driving Question}}s of the first season of the series.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Amirah Vann

Tegan is a leading and well respected lawyer for Caplan and Gold, who takes Michaela as her intern in season four.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: Her sexuality is presently unclear; however, she openly calls Annalise "still hot" in "Was She Ever Good At Her Job?" No longer ambiguous as she tells Michaela of her former lover, a woman named Cora, in "Stay Strong, Mama".
* BadassGay: Tegan is a gay woman who is just as a good of a lawyer as Annalise.
* BenevolentBoss: Strict and demanding though she is, Tegan does reward good work and loyalty, even buying Michaela a very expensive pair of high heels as a reward for all her good work in "I Love Her".
* HeelFaceTurn: Downplayed, since it's her client [[spoiler:Jorge Castillo]] who's the season's main antagonist, but she appears to support him completely until [[spoiler:the end of Season 4, where she helps Annalise get him arrested by the FBI.]]
* MarriedToTheJob: Tegan was committed to her job to the point that her girlfriend left her.
* TheMentor: After being disillusioned with [[spoiler:and fired by]] Annalise, Michaela tries to adopt her as her new role model. Tegan is aware of this and seems willing to go along with it, but at the same time she’s not giving it too much of her attention.
* ShadowArchetype: Tegan shares a lot of traits with Annalise, especially as she was introduced in season one. They’re both highly intelligent, respected lawyers, both arrogant and self-serving yet charismatic women able to enthrall others. While they don’t focus on it, they are both well aware of the difficulties that exist under the surface which woman of colour face in this career, as well as dedicated to never bending to the odds. The difference is that Tegan doesn’t seem to have any of Annalise’s trauma or inner turmoil. Both of them have also taken on some very dodgy clients, [[spoiler:but while Annalise actually quit her law firm after helping her dodgiest client, one of Bonnie's rapists, Tegan has continued with her law firm while serving the extremely corrupt Jorge Castillo (albeit even she fights back against him in the end.)]]
* TeenGenius: Formerly, she passed the bar to become a lawyer at the age of sixteen, making her the youngest person to do so at Caplan and Gold. When this is brought up, she outright calls herself a "prodigy".
* YouSayTomato: She pronounces the name "Castillo" differently from everyone else in the show, even the people who have that surname themselves.[[note]]It's the Puerto Rican pronunciation (Amirah Vann's mother is from there).[[/note]] This one bit of linguistic flair is enough for Asher to (correctly) conclude Tegan has the skill to translate for a Spanish-speaking client in 6.02 "Vivian's Here."[[note]]Tegan had said a few Spanish sentences earlier in the series, but never in Asher's presence.[[/note]]

* BiTheWay: Annalise is revealed to be bisexual in the Season 2 premiere.

* BiTheWay: Possibly. He had a sexual fling with Connor, but he's engaged to Michaela and clearly loves her. His mother's sudden friendliness and insistence that Michaela marry him, after how terribly she treated Michaela previously, hints more strongly at this.

* SitchSexuality: Went to the same all-boys boarding school as [[ReallyGetsAround Connor]]. Considering there were no girls present, you should know how that went for Aiden.

* MommasBoy: Not portrayed negatively, but its implied Connor is quite close to his mother Pam.

* Hypocrite: Constantly blames Wes for killing Sam, despite the fact that he did it to save Rebecca. When Asher kills Emily Sinclair in cold blood, Connor is never shown berating him the way he did Wes, even though Wes’ killing of Sam is a lot more justified.
