2
3!The Aryans & Bikers
4
5[[folder:General]]
6* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: The Bikers.
7* ArchEnemy: The Muslims.
8* BadGuysPlayPool: They're often seen around the pool table, and even [[spoiler:rape Peter Schibetta on it.]]
9* BigBad: They're the most recurring villains throughout the show, even though all the characters are in a permanent grey area.
10* ButtMonkey: Combining their {{Hypocrite}} and DrugsAreBad status with their leader's obsession with revenge on Beecher over group goals means that the Aryans rarely become major players. They suffer heavy amounts of both friendly and unfriendly fire and given that both their victims and enemies are either white, hate them or both, they are regularly sidelined by the other gangs with ease.
11* CategoryTraitor: Seem to victimize just as many white inmates as black or Hispanic ones, at least on screen. Their racism, while unquestionably genuine, seems to be more about hating other groups than loving their own.
12* DepravedBisexual: Most of the Aryans and Bikers seem to really enjoy committing sodomy ([[PrisonRape usually forced]]) on other inmates, despite having wives and girlfriends in the outside world. [[BoomerangBigot Ironically, they still pick]] [[{{Hypocrite}} on the Gay inmates]].
13** They appear to consider themselves heterosexual. Granted, their sexual aggression could be seen as an extension of their aggression in general. But it's hard to view men like Cutler and Schillinger as completely straight, considering their enthusiasm for the practice.
14* DrugsAreBad: Firm believers in this, which is why they avoid conflict with the Homeboys for the most part. Ironically, the only other gang that holds this belief are their main rivals.
15** Subverted with Robson's gum issues.
16* ForTheEvulz: Unlike The Homeboys, Latinos and Italians who have a profit to protect in the drug trade. And unlike the Muslims and Christians who promote their religious ideology through different methods. And unlike The Gays and The Others who are neutral most of the time, the Aryans do not have much of a goal throughout the series and are mostly concerned about raping and killing inmates for fun. It rapidly becomes apparent that any pretenses of ideology they may have is little more than an excuse to indulge in thuggery and sadism, with them preying on white and non-white inmates just as much.
17* HellBentForLeather: The Bikers.
18* HighTurnoverRate: [[spoiler:Each of Schillinger's [[TheDragon Dragons]] wind up leaving the Brotherhood, either due to death or [[HumiliationConga other]] [[HeelFaceTurn reasons.]]]]
19* HufflepuffHouse: The Bikers. Classic example, with the exception of Jaz Hoyt and Scott Ross, all the Bikers are minor characters and pawns of the Aryans.
20* {{Hypocrite}}: Preach the most (along with maybe the Homeboys) about racial unity, yet practice basically none of it.
21* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: They are Neo-Nazis, after all.
22* PrisonRape: Their main tactic of choice when dealing with enemies and newer, weaker inmates.
23* StupidEvil: Their only intelligent member becomes consumed with revenge against another inmate and the rest are just plain morons when he isn't there to restrain them, sometimes lethally so.
24* ThoseWackyNazis
25* TokenEvilTeammate: The only gang in Oz that commits violence on a large scale for the sake of it, rather than to protect their interests.
26* TooDumbToLive: Antagonise and piss everyone off, including the administration and other white gangs, and suffer as a result. These guys basically have NoSocialSkills, in prison with people who already have few such skills to begin with.

31[[folder:Robson]]
32!!James Robson
33[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/James_Robson_7286.jpg]]
34[[caption-width-right:350:''"It's funny, here I am, 36 years old I got nowhere to run. You know, and I--I guess what...what I want to know is, is it okay to do whatever is necessary... to survive?"'']]
35->'''Played By:''' Creator/RERodgers
36
37->''Prisoner #97R492. Convicted November 7, 1997 - Murder in the first degree, assault. Sentence: Life imprisonment, eligible for parole in 25 years.''
38
39One of the Aryan leaders and Schillinger's closest friend.
40----
41* AbusiveParents: He tearfully confesses to Sister Pete that his father beat him and sexually abused him.
42* AscendedExtra: Originally, he was only meant to appear as a prisoner who got the tip of his penis bit off, but Fontana was so impressed by Rodgers' acting that the character was given a bigger role.
43* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Quite literally.]]
44* AssShove: [[spoiler: Courtesy of Cutler, who sticks a spoon up his ass.]]
45* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: Seems to develop remorse for his actions after being raped by Cutler and spending time with Sister Pete’s support group made up of the kind of people who he spent years assaulting without a second thought, though whether it would have stuck is anyone’s guess.]]
46* BaldOfEvil: His head is shaved bald.
47* BoisterousWeakling: Whenever Robson goes after people by himself or without backup, he gets his ass kicked easily.
48* BreakTheHaughty: A smug little prick, who gets stepped on again and again. He's good at abusing weaker inmates with the other Aryans backing him up, but when Robson goes after more dangerous prey or picks fights without his friends around, he tends to get his ass kicked.
49* ButtMonkey: In his tenure in Oz, he gets the tip of his penis bitten off, develops recessive gums, gets beaten down by Frank Urbano, [[spoiler:"spooned" by Cutler, infected with HIV, and sodomized by Cutler and Clarence Seroy.]] Granted, he deserves almost all of it.
50* TheDragon: To Schillinger. He lasts much longer than his predecessors.
51* {{Eunuchs Are Evil}}: The tip of his penis was bitten off by Beecher in his first appearance.
52* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Season 6 reveals he has a wife who he genuinely loves.
53* FauxAffablyEvil: Your friend just died? He'll mock you with a smile on his face and all of the phony sympathy he can muster.
54* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:His father was not only physically abusive, but sexually abused his son all the while tormenting him about never showing any sign of "weakness."]]
55* HateSink: One of the biggest rapists in the entire cast, and tosses around even more racial slurs than the other Aryans.
56* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:His meetings with Sister Pete reveal that Robson is a deeply disturbed individual, having dealt with his childhood abuse and drug addiction most of his life.]]
57* KarmicButtMonkey: He goes through a lot of humiliation and injury over the course of the series, but he has all of it coming.
58* LargeHam: Does a lot of yelling, screaming, and sometimes even ''barking''. Robson acts out a lot.
59* LaserGuidedKarma: Most if not all of Robson's butt-monkey moments are these, [[spoiler: especially his ordeal with Cutler]].
60* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: As you might expect from a Nazi. Robson gets a special prize, since most of the overtly racist dialogue comes from him.
61* RapeAsBackstory: [[spoiler:He was sexually abused by his father.]]
62* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:He reforms at the end of the series, but he's also dying of AIDS.]]
63* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:Of the Aryans. Since he was exiled from the group, he's the only one not killed by the anthrax Keller had sent into the mailroom before he died. Though it's implied Robson himself won't be around that much longer.]]
64* StupidEvil: He seems to prioritize being a dick over his own safety, such as when he throws racist taunts at the dentist who's about to operate on him, and mocks a clearly unstable Saïd about the death of one of his friends.
65* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He fills the void of Schillinger's [[{{Jerkass}} dickish]] [[TheDragon right-hand man]] after Ross and Mack are killed.
66* TooDumbToLive: Many examples:
67** Throws racist insults at his dentist during gum surgery. Not after, not before, but in the middle of the procedure, while the man was using sharp, potentially dangerous implements inside his mouth.
68** Willingly sticks his dick in Beecher's mouth, despite what Beecher did to the first man who raped him.
69** Brags to Said about killing his friend and fellow Muslim.
70** Brags about raping Cyril to the O'Reilly brothers before his boxing match with Cyril. While not as immediately dangerous as the examples above, he antagonized Ryan O'Reily, which didn't go well for the Aryans' boxing aspirations.
71* VillainousFriendship: Robson has a genuine friendship with Vern, who is torn up when forced to [[spoiler:exile Robson.]]
72[[/folder]]
73
74[[folder:Mack]]
75!!Mark Mack
76[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0a8c1de0_771d_407e_abdd_7a5a6a7ac99b.jpeg]]

78
79->''Prisoner #96M542. Convicted June 1, 1996 - Murder in the second degree, vandalism (as a hate crime). Sentence: 70 years, eligible for parole in 40.''
80
81A hard-headed and bullish Aryan.
82----
83* AlliterativeName: '''M'''ark '''M'''ack.
84* TheBrute: He exists to do Schillinger's heavy lifting. And that's about it.
85* TheDragon: For Schillinger after [[spoiler:Ross dies]].
86* DumbMuscle: His brain-to-brawn ratio makes him a perfect for being a foot soldier and not much else.
87* HotBlooded: Mack's got a chip on his shoulder the size of California.
88* {{Jerkass}}: He's bad enough in prison, but the whole reason he's in Oz in the first place is because he vandalized some Jewish headstones, and then killed the groundskeeper when he tried to stop him.
89* KarmicDeath: He threatens Busmalis into letting him use his escape tunnel, and then is killed when said tunnel collapses on top of him.
90* MauveShirt: He gets a bit more spotlight in Season 2, but he dies before the season ends.
91* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Due to being a goddamn Nazi.
92* ReplacementFlatCharacter: Mack lacks both his predecessor Ross's cunning and his replacement Robson's zeal (though, that could classify as an unfair comparison, considering how much Robson was visibly and wildly unrepentant for the cause; he's simply a brutish dick working for Schillinger.)
93* {{Sucksessor}}: He takes over Ross's role as Schillinger's [[TheDragon Dragon]], but proves far less competent at the role due to lacking any of Ross's cunning and loyalty. The only thing he's really good at is providing muscle, and Schillinger clearly prefers Keller over him.
94* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He replaces Ross as Schillinger's [[{{Jerkass}} dickish]] [[TheDragon right-hand man]].
95* TooDumbToLive: His response when one of the support joists of his escape tunnel collapses is to just keep on going. Only when it actually starts collapsing does he decide to abort his escape, but it's far too late by that time.

98[[folder:Hoyt]]
99!!Jaz Hoyt
100[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1547fb6a_30d5_4f31_9743_bc8e0a46e010.png]]
101->'''Played By:''' Creator/EvanSeinfield
102
103->''Prisoner #98H432. Convicted August 12, 1998 - aggravated assault in the first degree. Sentence: Eight years, eligible for parole in four. [[spoiler:Later, confessed to four counts of murder in the first degree and is sentenced to death. Sentence overturned after he was found insane.]]''
104
105One of the more prominent biker characters, he is often allied with the Aryans.
106----
107* AxCrazy: The guy starts off somewhat off his rocker. By the end of the series, he's a homicidal lunatic.
108* BoisterousBruiser: He's certainly not subtle. It bites him in the ass when he tries to take out Schillinger, who hears him coming a mile away.
109* TheBrute: Serves this role to the Aryans, despite ostensibly being the leader of the Bikers.
110* DefectorFromDecadence: In sharp contrast to what prison officials assumed, he's from a very wealthy, respectable family. He went to the Phillips Exter Academy, an elite boarding school, and dropped out of Harvard.
111* DumbMuscle: He's more crazy than stupid, but he doesn't use his brain much in any case.
112* EvenEvilHasStandards:
113** Mocks Patrick Keenan for being a rapist.
114** He rats on Timmy but refuses to name any of his biker buddies. Later on he gives one up but only after Glynn promises the death penalty will be off the table. Hoyt might be a lot of things but loyalty is important to him.
115* HiddenDepths: He dropped out of Harvard and comes from a very wealthy family. His lawyer says Jaz's entire big scary biker identity originated from his delusions.
116* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Turns himself in for the murders he’s committed once he goes psychotic and starts hallucinating Cloutier. It costs him his life when he reveals to Mukada the whereabouts of Cloutier within earshot of another biker.]]
117* InsaneEqualsViolent: A murderous, psychotic biker, though many saner inmates outdo him.
118* {{Jerkass}}: To a ''much'' lesser extent than his compatriots, but he’s still a rather unpleasant man.
119* PayEvilUntoEvil: ''Despises'' Kirk and it's monumentally easy to root for him in their war.
120* PetTheDog: He's the one who organized the donation for Rebadow's dying grandson.
121* PreMortemOneLiner: He gives one right before killing [[spoiler:Kirk]].
122--> '''Hoyt:''' THIS TIME YOU ''DIE'', '''''MOTHERFUCKER!'''''
123* SanitySlippage: Well, he was never all there to begin with, but he leaps off the deep end when he kills [[spoiler: Timmy Kirk.]]
124* TattooedCrook: The man doesn't just have sleeves, he's got a whole goddamn shirt.
125* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: As a child, Hoyt tortured animals and was even caught sodomizing his own playmate.

129!!Scott Ross
130[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fc232089_b62a_4453_9525_c8070d8cb557.jpeg]]

134
135->''"I'm gonna give you [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments ten minutes to get your hands off my dick]]."''
136
137A drug dealer, old friend of Schillinger and leader of the Bikers. He has a past connection to Wittlesey, and is disliked heavily by almost everyone.
138----
139* ArcVillain: The main Aryan antagonist for Season 1 after Beecher quite effectively breaks Schillinger.
140* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: No one, not even Sister Pete or his old pal Schillinger, are very torn up about his death.]]
141* {{Blackmail}}: Tries this on Diane. He, among other reasons, [[spoiler:gets shot by her for it.]]
142* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Wittlesey blows his brains out, then shot him in the chest and groin.]]
143* DepravedBisexual: He's a very promiscuous kind of drug dealer.
144* TheDragon: He serves as this to Schillinger after he arrives.
145* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Downplayed. He had a fairly satisfying and climactic death, it just happened entirely offscreen and was revealed via dialogue in Season 2.]]
146* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:Averted. Nobody, not even Sister Pete, has anything kind to say about him after his death.]]
147* EvilIsBigger: He stands at 6'4 and is one of the more loathsome inmates in prison.
148* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Don't let the fact that he's one of the most good-looking inmates fool you, he's a manipulative smuggler with a gigantic LackOfEmpathy.
149* FauxAffablyEvil: He acts friendly occasionally, but it never disguises that he's a massive {{Jerkass}}.
150* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Even Schillinger, ostensibly his closest friend in Oz, doesn't seem to think much of him.
151* HatedByAll: Absolutely no one likes him, and [[spoiler:after he dies]] the general reaction is flat-out apathy. Even Schillinger isn't too upset about it.
152* HateSink: Manages to be one of the most purely detestable characters in the earlier seasons despite his relatively minor list of crimes. He's a smug, overconfident opportunist and a racist bully with zero likable qualities whose sole reason to exist is to showcase that humans can be assholes for no apparent reason. [[spoiler: Worse yet, he continues to be a nuisance to everyone even after he's long gone.]]
153* JaywalkingWillRuinYourLife: He’s an interesting example of this. He’s serving life without parole, a longer sentence than some murderers, for falling afoul of the three strikes law. However, while his actual crimes may be fairly minor, he proves to be a truly despicable human being. He’s objectively been completely screwed over by the legal system, but he also 100% deserves it.
154* {{Jerkass}}: One of the biggest in the entire series. He's just a huge asshole to everyone around him, regularly bullying African-American inmates, tormenting those who are weaker than him and constantly expressing passive-aggressive behavior towards [=McManus=] out of petty and unjustified jealousy. Even Sister Pete doesn't like him.
155** Small amount of PetTheDog in his conversation with Donald Groves, practically the only scene in which he is reasonably friendly to anyone.
156* LeanAndMean: He's very tall and very skinny, yet he's also one of the biggest, most reprehensible assholes in the series.
157* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: While he doesn't make many such remarks, he's good friends with Schillinger and the other Aryans, making it safe to assume he's this.
158* ProfessionalButtKisser: He's a high-ranking member of both the Aryans and the Bikers despite literally everyone hating his guts and somehow compensates on that by actively kissing Schillinger's ass. He's busy bullying the weaker inmates like Beecher even when Schillinger himself doesn't feel like it so Ross is definitely too hateful and bigoted to get rid off. He also becomes this to O'Reily by serving as his counselor of sorts, thus managing to secure him a position as one of the leaders during the riot.
159* SmugSnake: Ross considers himself a major player, which is seen as he is one of the trustees during the riot amongst O'Reily, Alvarez, Said and Adebisi.
160* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:The first episode of Season 2 reveals he was murdered by Wittlesey during the climactic raid at the end of Season 1.]]
161* UnkemptBeauty: He's a relatively good-looking man despite having an extremely unkempt appearance, permastubble and terrible hygiene.
162* WhiteHairBlackHeart: His hair is shown to be prematurely greying, which can be seen as a sign of his interest in tobacco.

174
175Schillinger's youngest son and drug addict.
176----
177* AbusiveParents: Vern was apparently neglectful of his sons, except when it came time to pound more Neo-Nazi ideology into their heads.
178* AmbiguouslyGay: Beecher ''says'' that Andrew has a crush on him, but it's not clear if that's true or he's just saying it to screw with Vern Schillinger's head.
179* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The compassion Beecher shows to him by comforting him when he goes through witdrawal and helping him kick his drug habit is what makes him renounce his Aryan beliefs.
180* ButtMonkey: He spends a good chunk of his screentime getting beat up or manipulated.
181* FreudianExcuse: It's hard to question how a kid with a father like Vern Schillinger ends up that screwed up.
182* HeelFaceTurn: He eventually renounces his Aryan beliefs and declares that Beecher is a better father to him than Schillinger ever was[[note]] unaware that Beecher was manipulating him the entire time to get at his father.[[/note]].
183* HotBlooded: Due to putting up with Schillinger's abuse, he's got quite a temper.
184* MoralityPet: Almost for Schillinger, but averted at the last minute.
185* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivered a devastating one to his father after kicking his drug habit.
186* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: The kid finally kicks his drug habit, repudiates his racist upbringing, and resolves to change his life for the better. Then his father sends him some bad heroin that he promptly overdoses on.]]
187* WellDoneSonGuy: Averted. Despite Schillinger's high standards, it's clear from the get-go that Andrew doesn't care much for his father. When Andrew cleans himself up and finally earns his father's respect, Andrew rejects him completely.

195
196->''Prisoner #02C773. Convicted February 20, 2003 - Murder in the first degree. Sentence: Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.''
197
198An Aryan-Biker with a sadistic sexual appetite.
199----
200* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Considering Cutler was a sadistic rapist, it's hard to mourn for him.]]
201* AxCrazy: He's a brutally sadistic rapist and a murderer who decapitated a man with a ''motorcycle''. In many ways, Cutler is like an even crazier version of Adebisi.
202* BaldOfEvil: Standard issue for the Aryans.
203* BeardOfEvil
204* BondageIsBad: Cutler has a strong interest in bondage and the like. He even takes 'Of Human Bondage' out of the library and becomes disappointed when the book turns out different from what he wanted.
205* DepravedBisexual: Compared to the other Aryans, he takes sexual slavery to a whole different level. And that's really saying something.
206* GoodVictimsBadVictims: Lampshaded; [[spoiler:contracts AIDS from parties unknown but never finds out about it. Ironically, his infecting Robson ends up allowing him the courage to renounce his evil past.]]
207* EvilCannotComprehendGood: When reading the lines for Macbeth, he can't seem to understand why he supposed to feel regret for having just killed a man. All attempts to explain simply end with Cutler shrugging and saying "Macbeth's a pussy."
208* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Possibly. While Cutler is shown to be the ideal image of what an Aryan should be, he doesn't have close ties with anyone in the circle whatsoever despite proving himself to be more than capable of being a homicidal bigot.
209* {{Jerkass}}: The man's a top class sadist. Even the other Aryans don't seem to like him that much.
210* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Tricked into killing himself by his rape victim, via bondage (a favorite past-time of Cutler).]]
211* PetTheDog: It was kind of him to leave everything to Alvarez in his will.
212** YMMV, most likely he was doing it out of spite to his wife.
213* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Being a Nazi and all.
214* RapeDiscretionShot: Averted: we get to see some of the violent alone time he and Robson share in their cell at night.
215* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Allowing Robson to convince him to try auto-erotic asphyxiation. Of course, he dies trying it.]]
216** Foreshadowed when he readily agrees to take out Said in exchange for full membership in the Aryan Brotherhood. Not that he ever gets the chance.
217* {{Troll}}: [[spoiler:After his death, he leaves everything to Alvarez just to make people crazy.]]
218* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: When he first appeared in Season 5, Cutler attempts to join the Aryans but he is told he has to kill Kareem Said, as murdering someone is the only way to become a member of the gang. After he fails to kill Said, he disappears until season six, where he is shown to be a member of the group. How he managed to get in or who he killed, is never stated.

220
221[[folder:Winthrop]]
222!!Franklin Winthrop
223->'''Played By:''' Creator/AndyPowers
224A suburban kid and best friends with Adam Guenzel. While Guenzel goes to Em City and gets Beecher's protection, Winthrop gets sent to Unit B and quickly falls victim to the Aryans.
225
226* AssholeVictim: He's got a target on his back the second he steps into Oz, but he's a rapist himself so it's hard to sympathize.
227* DepravedBisexual: Winthrop is in Oz because he raped a woman and although (like everyone else) his status as a sex slave is absolutely unwanted, he still shows some traits of perversion, namely the fact that he actually ''asks'' Schillinger if he can watch the gangbang of his friend. Plus when Keller pretends to seduce him, not only does Winthrop does nothing to stop it, but a) says "nice" when Keller kisses him by surprise and b) has a smile on his face as he prepares to give him a blowjob.
228* {{Foil}}: Winthrop's experience in prison is almost a mirror image of Tobias Beecher's, being "saved" from a menacing black inmate only to be made into Schillinger's sex slave. Winthrop, lacking Beecher's morality, decides to simply join the Aryans rather than rebuke Schillinger.
229* LaserGuidedKarma: Sent to prison for rape. Almost immediately becomes a prag.
230* NotSoHarmlessVillain: It's hard to be afraid of Schillinger's prag, but he manages to become a full member of the Aryans by killing [[spoiler: Beecher's father]]
231* WithFriendsLikeThese: He turns on Guenzel as soon as he discovers that he has not gotten similar treatment in Em City. He sets his former friend up to get gang-raped by the Aryans and later gets him killed in a dangerous escape attempt.

234[[folder:Miles]]
235!!Mark Miles
236->'''Played By:''' Creator/MikeQuill
237
238->''Prisoner 97M573. Convicted July 10, 1997 - three counts of murder in first degree. Sentence: Death.''
239
240A racist Death Row inmate who killed his entire family. ''Twice''.
241----
242* AssholeVictim: Just look at the rest of his tropes. Moses punching through the wall to get at him definitely ranks as one of the more cathartic moments of the series.
243* DirtyCoward: He hides on his bunk when the warden comes to talk to him about his execution.
244* EvilIsPetty: When he can't commit murder, he settles for intense racism, homophobia and just being a very unpleasant person.
245* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Deyell, Bellinger, and Ginzburg get along well enough on Death Row, but Miles goes out of his way to be an asshole to everyone. Even the likes of Schillinger and Lopresti don't seem to like him.
246* HairTriggerTemper: Being black, talking and breathing in his vicinity set him off violently.
247* HateSink: He has no redeeming qualities at all. Even other loathsome characters on the show like Lopresti can barely stand him.
248* HiddenDepths: One day, he decides to paint a self-portrait on his wall. By the time he's strangled by Moses, it's looking really good.
249* {{Hypocrite}}: Torments every other death row inmate in the block for their impending dooms even though he is a coward who fears his own well-deserved demise. He's also the only one of them to freak out when faced with the mere prospect of dying while the others at least [[FaceDeathWithDignity make an effort to be brave and go to their deaths with pride.]]
250* {{Jerkass}}: Interestingly, he's one of the only people seen on death row not to be even vaguely sympathetic.
251* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He actually gets a brief humanizing moment when his execution date draws near and he confesses to Sister Pete that he is absolutely terrified, indicating that he might have ''some'' sympathetic traits after all. But as soon as he's back on death row and Moses tries to reach out to him and show him kindness, confessing that he's scared too and understands what Miles is going through, it's back to business as usual and Moses finally kills him after one racist remark too many.
252* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: He killed his family and got off with only ten years in an institution after pleading insanity. But when he got remarried and killed his new family, the trick didn't work the second time, and he got sent to death row.
253* KarmicDeath: Gets strangled to death by Moses Deyell after calling him "Negro" one too many times. Moses punches right through the self-portrait he's so proud of. Even better, he punches right through the mouth, leaving a gaping hole, reflecting Miles' own massive mouth.
254* KickTheDog: He never lets up on this, with Moses being his favorite target and Miles taking pleasure in forcing him to endure endless racial abuse just because he can.
255* OffingTheOffspring: He does this ''twice'', murdering his children with two different women.
256* PaterFamilicide: His modus operandi and what got him sent to death row.
257* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: About half of his dialogue consists of throwing racial slurs at Moses and he's also incredibly homophobic towards Ginzburg.
258* TwoFirstNames: Mark and Miles are both common first names.
259* VillainousBreakdown: Has a particularly pathetic one right before he has to choose his method of death, hiding under his blanket and crying like a baby. Normally this was humanise a character, but for Miles it just serves to make him look even more pathetic.
260* WhiteHairBlackHeart: How curious that one of the worst white supremacists in the show is the only inmate with shiny, silvery hair.
261* WouldHurtAChild: He's on death row for murdering his own kids and it's not the first time he did so either.

280* ButtMonkey: He's forced to try to kill Said and winds up locked in solitary for it, constantly taunted by Robson the whole time.
281* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:He kills himself so he won't [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled have to face Robson's wrath for ratting in him to Glynn.]]]]
282* NewMeat: He's clearly a rookie of the Aryans, enough of one that Robson is able to threaten him with ease.
283* SadisticChoice: Given the choice between killing Said (and possibly facing either murderous retribution or the death penalty) or being subjected to Aryan retribution for refusing. He takes the ThirdOption after ratting out Robson and kills himself instead.
