The man and his crew clearly have a full plate that the viewers only see a small portion of.

->'''Played By:''' Billy Brown

* BaldOfEvil

* TheConsigliere
* TheDragon
** DragonAscendant
* EvilSoundsDeep
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's very, very convincing at it, though. If it weren't for the scene where he laughingly describes how Larroy "cried like a bitch" while he dismembered him, he'd be listed under AffablyEvil instead.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Like his mentor, he presents himself in a professional, business like manner.
* MouthOfSauron: If you want to meet with Pope, you meet with August first.
* NumberTwo: Until the Season 5 finale.
* PermaStubble
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Becomes this in season six following Pope's death. He's very professional with Jax.
* ScaryBlackMan
* SharpDressedMan
* UndyingLoyalty: See the trope directly below. Everything he is, he owes to Damon Pope, and he is nothing if not grateful for it.
* VillainousFriendship: With Pope, who he admired and respected. He's on the verge of welling up when he tells Jax he has to make things right for the remaining Pope family.
** He also boarders on this with Jax himself. They're very respectful and reasonable with each other.

->'''Played By:''' Harold Perrineau

* BestServedCold: After his daughter is killed he takes his time planning out his revenge. He researches his targets and makes sure that nothing that happens can be directly linked back to him. He is [[YouHaveFailedMe quite unhappy]] when an underling's impatience forces him to start his plan early. He actually plans to keep Tig alive in prison and have him abused and tortured for years to come.
* BigBad: Of season 5.
* BoomHeadshot: Via Tig.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His entire motivation comes from the death of his beloved daughter.
* EvilMentor: Seems to see himself as this for Jax. Note how in almost every conversation they have, Pope seems to make the effort to drop hints and give advice on how to deal with situations.
* {{Expy}}: He could be seen as one for [[AmericanGangster Frank Lucas.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Averted as he spends his last moment dropping his dignified, professional pretenses and calling Jax a "cracker bitch".
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's pretty polite, even respectfully calling Tig 'Mr Trager' as he burns Dawn Trager alive.
* FramingTheGuiltyParty: When he frames Tig and the other Sons for the killings they committed, he makes sure that the police are presented with two reliable 'witnesses' for each crime. Ironically, his murder is also pinned on somebody who did not actually kill him.
* FriendlyEnemy: To Jax. This is subverted at the last second, when Jax sets him up to die.
* GenreSavvy: He is initially surprised by how resourceful the Sons are but is quick to realize that they are not just a bunch of stupid white trash bikers. He then proceeds to alter his plans and makes a deal with Jax that has the Sons working for him.
* KickTheDog: Ordering Tig's daughter to be burned alive while Tig watches. Although considering what Tig di it might be considered a KickTheSonOfABitch.
* KarmicDeath: Not only he gets OutGambitted by Jax, he gets killed by Tig.
* KillItWithFire: How he kills Tig's daughter.
* TheManBehindTheMan: He's Laroy's benefactor, and a few throw-away lines early on in the season indicate that he's actually the man behind the man for most if not every black street gang in the region, not just the One-Niners.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Pope likes to wear stylish business suits as opposed to the urban street clothes favored by his underlings.
* PapaWolf
* ScaryBlackMan
* SharpDressedMan
* ToThePain: As mentioned, he didn't want Tig dead. He wanted him in prison so he could have him brutally tortured for ''years''.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Pope masquerades as a law-abiding, upstanding citizen of the community. In the season 5 premiere he is even seen buying ice cream for a group of children.
* WeAreEverywhere: Jax knows that Pope can easily order the black prison gangs to kill the Sons while they are inside and prepares accordingly. However, it does not cross his mind that Pope actually controls ''all the prison guards''.
* WorthyOpponent: He seems to consider Jax to be one; while he won't hesitate to remind Jax that they're no where near equals in terms of power and resources, he does compliment Jax on his intelligence and resourcefulness, as well as his leadership abilities, even going so far as to tell him that he has the potential to become "a king", in his words.
* YouHaveFailedMe: He kills Laroy Wayne for failing to protect his daughter.

* {{Foil}}: For Clay. He steps in and more or less fills his primary roles by becoming a mentor and alternative father figure to Jax and Gemma's lover.

* WeAreEverywhere: Jax knows that Pope can easily order the black prison gangs to kill the Sons while they are inside and prepares accordingly. However, it does not cross his mind that Pope actually controls ''all the prison guards''.
* WorthyOpponent: He seems to consider Jax to be one; while he won't hesitate to remind Jax that they're no where near equals in terms of power and resources, he does compliment Jax on his intelligence and resourcefulness, as well as his leadership abilities, even going so far as to tell him that he has the potential to become "a king", in his words.
* YouHaveFailedMe: He kills Laroy Wayne for failing to protect his daughter.
