15
16	A corrupt former police officer who still has ties with the local police agency and controls rackets around the Stockton ports.
17	----
18	* AffablyEvil: Charlie's actually a pretty genial fellow. He's even politically correct, correcting Jax on the ethnicity of the torture porn directors.
19	-->’’Persia hasn’t been a country since 637 A.D.’’
20	* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:In the Finale, courtesy of Jax. Also counts as a DeathByCameo.]]
21	* CigarChomper: He's usually seen with a cigar.
22	* CoolOldGuy: He's first seen smoking a cigar in the Italian bakery he owns, and from there on proves himself to be a reasonable and highly competent man.
23	* DirtyCop: He's an ex-cop, but he retired to avoid being brought up on corruption charges.
24	* DirtyOldMan: With Collette, a prostitute half his age.
25	* EvenEvilHasStandards: When he and Jax break into the child pornography studio, he's absolutely furious and tells Jax he would've killed Alice if Jax hadn't. Later on when Jax asks Charlie what he did with Alice's body, Charlie replies that she was chopped up, burned, and buried "like a child pornographer deserves."
26	* [[spoiler:TheMole]]: [[spoiler:Is revealed to be this for Henry Lin albeit after demanding an outrageous sum of money for the information]].
27	* NeighbourhoodFriendlyGangsters: He's concerned with protecting his community, and doesn't take kindly to Iranian gangsters making torture porn. Later on he is absolutely outraged to find out that a child pornography studio had been operating on his turf.
28	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As the king of the Stockton docks and surrounding areas, he likes to have strict control over his territory and reacts violently to intruders but still allows the Sons to explain their honest mistake and even offers to help them out with the Iranians.
29	* {{Troll}}: When Jax walks in on him having sex with Collette, he turns his head and gives him a great big mocking smile.
30	* WildCard: He could be for or against anyone on any given day. [[spoiler: This ends up being taken to its logical conclusion when he sells the Sons out to Henry Lin and gets West killed.]]

37
38	An old acquaintance of Jimmy O who handles the dealings of the Russian mob in California.
39	----
40	%%* DeadpanSnarker
41	* FauxAffablyEvil: He's usually smiling and jovial, quick to shake your hand and offer you a drink. This does little to hide the opportunistic and ruthless man he is.
42	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Really, Viktor? Really? You thought that trusting Jax after you tried to murder him was wise?
43	* KarmicDeath: Stabbed by Jax in retaliation for trying to have him killed in prison.
44	* TheMafiya: He seems to be the head of the Russian mob in California.
45	* AManOfWealthAndTaste: His illegal cashflow has made Viktor a wealthy man, relaxing in his massive house with a glass of wine in one hand.
46	* PragmaticVillainy: Putlova is solely concerned with profit and keeping his organisation going, making him a dangerous man. This ends up biting him in the ass as his focus on “business” blinds him from realizing the bikers whose Vice-President he attempted to have murdered may not look past that incident for the sake of profit.
47	%%* OnlyInItForTheMoney
48	%%* SharpDressedMan
49	* WickedCultured: Enjoys fine wine and chess while harbouring a vile psychopath.

64	->'''Played By:''' Creator/PeterOnorati
65
66	A mob boss based out of Lake Tahoe.
67	----
68	* AffablyEvil: When the Sons start a fight in his club while looking for Frankie, he merely ponders how they get any business done if they get pissed off over every little dispute, and then allows Jax to say his piece.
69	* TheDon: Of a Family operating in Lake Tahoe.
70	* HairTriggerTemper: Despite the above noted affability, he immediately guns down Frankie upon seeing that he killed one of Leo’s trusted men, screwing up Jax’s plan to prove Clay’s guilt.

79	->'''Played By:''' Creator/KennethChoi
80
81	The Chinese-American leader of a San Francisco-based Triad.
82	----
83	* AcquittedTooLate: [[spoiler: After Jax tries to beat Lin to death in the street with Barosky's intervention but is warded off by TheCavalry in the form of non-corrupt cops, he spends the remainder of his vendetta trying to find a way to have Lin murdered in prison. This culiminates in Jax manipulating Juice's desire to earn his way back into the club into getting himself arrested in order to question Lin on the identity of TheRat within SAMCRO and then stabbing Lin to death while he hangs from a pipe. Unfortunately for both Juice and Lin, Jax discovers too late that the entire vendetta against the Triad was based on Juice and Gemma's lie and orders Juice's death in retaliation before shooting his own mother in the head.]]
84	* AFatherToHisMen: Out of all the criminals featured in the show, the only ones who can match Lin's level of loyalty to his associates are the Sons themselves. He is ''furious'' when his deal gets botched and he figures Jax as being the one responsible. [[spoiler: His men go out of their way to attempt to kill Tully for orchestrating Lin's death and also rape Juice in revenge before attempting to force him to comply with said hit. ]]
85	* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: gets attacked by Jax and the Sons for something he didn’t do, gets the shit kicked out of him by Jax in front of his men, and then stabbed to death in prison by a rat after giving up information that was supposed to secure his life]].
86	* BeardOfEvil: Step up from Permastubble, and starting to grey.
87	* DiscOneFinalBoss: For season 7.
88	* TheDragon: To his uncle, Bohai Lin.
89	* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler: Takes over after Bohai is killed.]]
90	* FauxAffablyEvil: He's very personable and reasonable, but also cuts off Chucky's fingers because his compulsive masturbation is annoying.
91	* FrameUp: [[spoiler: Gemma lying on the Chinese involvement in Tara's murder sets Jax and SAMCRO on a vendetta against Henry Lin and his whole organization during Season 7.]] It doesn't end well for anyone involved.
92	* PragmaticVillainy: His main motivation is money, and he's not unreasonable when it comes to making deals. One example being trading the services of SAMCRO's pornstars for "private experiences" in exchange for putting them in touch with a Hamas gun connection when the Sons' Irish pipeline becomes tenuous in Season 3.
93	* SharpDressedMan: Usually dressed very well.
94	* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: He's the primary representative of the Lin Triad during the series and works under his uncle Bohai [[spoiler: until his uncle's death. And then he gets killed himself thanks to the machinations of Gemma, a woman he never even meets, in Season 7]].

119	----
120	%%* BaldOfEvil
121	%%* BeardOfEvil
122	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being a filthy bastard who abuses and rapes women, Amir clearly cares about his brother Kia and starts on a campaign of revenge when he believes he has been killed. He also was clearly distraught when Barofsky killed one of his men.
123	%%* FauxAffablyEvil
124	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Against the Sons, after his brother disappears. Amir correctly assumes the Sons killed them, although Tig was acting alone.

138	%%* SmugSnake
139	* Swirlie: Sort of. Tig drowns him in a tub filled with urine and vinegar. Then to add further insult to the CruelAndUnusualDeath ends up [[ExcrementStatement peeing on Kia's corpse]].
140	* TooDumbToLive: Admittedly he didn't know about Tig's family history but still when you're unarmed and locked in a cage is '''not''' the time to say you're going to put a outlaw biker's daughter in one of your rape/torture porn movies.

153	----
154	* AbortedArc: Seems to be set up for a conflict with Jax and the Sons after they [[spoiler:kill his cousin in retaliation for Opie’s murder]]. This is dropped by the Season 7 premier, with the Sons helping the Bastards track down a gang member who ran down three of their members in order to mend fences between the two clubs.
155	* DoNotCallMePaul: He hates it when he's referred by his first name, being Taddarius.
156	* EmbarrassingFirstName AND EmbarrassingMiddleName:Taddarius Orwell. Apparently he only allows his mother to refer to him as such.
157	* NeighbourhoodFriendlyGangsters: To the Sons, being their African-American counterparts essentially.
158	* ScaryBlackMan: Averted. Cross can be threatening when he has to be, but otherwise he's a reasonable man with a code of honor.
159	* ThickerThanWater: The reason he refuses to give up Randall, his cousin.
160	* WhatTheHellHero: He does this in only three words, but makes it effective due to his tone, expression and the clear sense of betrayal he feels after Jax kills his cousin.
161	-->'''TO Cross:''' Who are you?

169	----
170	* BaldOfEvil: He's completely bald.
171	* BeardOfEvil: Randall has a very thick beard, and coupled with his bald head and massive height, it gives him a very distinctive appearance.
172	* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Chibs kills him with a silenced pistol shot to the back of the head.]]
173	* FatBastard: A big guy who likes beating people.
174	* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:He lays the fatal blow on Opie in the catacombs of Stockton.]]
175	* ScaryBlackMan: Played with. He’s definitely a threat in prison when he has you cornered with backup. Out on the street however, he runs every chance he gets, usually while shooting over his shoulder.

197	----
198	* AffablyEvil: Nate is a pleasant, somewhat meek guy whose authority is overridden by his more hot-headed son.
199	* CrazySurvivalist: Piney considers his group to be just some "survivalist cats playing capture-the-flag." Unfortunately, they turn out to be more of a dangerous liability due to their brazen criminal exploits with SAMCRO firearms.
200	* EvilFormerFriend: To Piney, whose life he saved in Vietnam.
201	* EvilOldFolks: Being around Piney's age and is part of a prison breakout that gets innocent people killed.

203	* ShellShockedVeteran: Vietnam did a number on him.
