| 25 | The former President of the Nomad Charter and member of the Indian Hills of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club and current member of the Redwood Originals. |
| 26 | ---- |
| 27 | * AllBikersAreHellsAngels: He's played by Rusty Coones, President of the Orange County Hell's Angels. |
| 28 | * AscendedExtra: Was TheGhost for the first four seasons, appeared in one episode in Season 5, and has appeared in all but two episodes of Season 6. Is this in universe as well, since he went from being a member of the Indian Hills charter to being in SAMCRO, the original charter. |
| 29 | * TheBigGuy: Towers over everyone else, with arms like tree trunks. |
| 30 | * DemotedToExtra: In universe example: He went from being the president of the Nomads charter to being a low ranking member in Indian Hills, a chapter that's only been around for two years and was started via patch over. |
| 31 | * TheGhost: Would be mentioned at least once every season for the first four seasons. Finally made a physical appearance in five, and was upgraded to a recurring character in season six. Since then he's appeared in practically every episode. |
| 32 | * LargeAndInCharge: Quinn cuts a very imposing figure due to his size and muscle. He was previously in charge of the Nomads Chapter. |
| 33 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: A very affable one. |
| 34 | * SleevesAreForWimps: Literally never wears them. |

| 58 | |
| 59 | An imprisoned member of the club, convicted of murdering three ATF agents. He is a member of the First 9. His connections with the Russian mob help the club get in contact with Victor Putlova to discuss a deal to have the Russians hand over Jimmy O. to the Sons. He is currently the last member of the First 9 to still be alive. |
| 60 | ---- |
| 61 | * AllBikersAreHellsAngels: Played by Creator/SonnyBarger, founding member and real life first President of the Oakland Hells Angels. |
| 62 | * CatchPhrase: Not a personal one, but he came up with the term "crow eater" in reference to SAMCRO groupies. |
| 63 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite him being short and seemingly weak, he "allegedly" murdered 3 ATF agents. Justified in that he was apparently a bodybuilder in his youth, as seen below. |
| 64 | * IUsedToBeQuiteALooker: In his younger days Lenny was quite a hunk, gathering croweaters around (he invented the term, in fact) and turning his good looks and charisma into powerful tools to run a prostitution ring. |
| 65 | * ItSeemedTrivial: Reveals Otto’s betrayal inadvertently without even knowing about it himself and that Jax knows, clueing Clay into why Jax didn’t leave the club and Charming at the end of Season 4. |
| 66 | * LastOfHisKind: As of Clay's death, he is the last living member of the First 9. |
| 67 | * RetiredOutlaw: Due to being imprisoned. |

| 94 | The husband of Luann Delaney and an imprisoned club member. |
| 95 | ---- |
| 96 | * AscendedExtra: Went from a cameo appearance to being one of the more capable members of the club despite being in prison. |
| 97 | * BadassBiker: Though we never get to see the "biker" part due to his imprisonment. |
| 98 | * BadassBoast: ''"The Sons live. Redwood bleeds."'' |
| 99 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: Otto doesn't always say anything unless it's important. He prefers to let his actions do the talking. |
| 100 | * ButtMonkey: Oh boy is he ever. Throughout the series Otto is beaten and maimed, both physically ''and'' emotionally, in countless ways. |
| 101 | * CreatorCameo: Big Otto is played by Series Creator Kurt Sutter. |
| 102 | * DeadpanSnarker: Especially as he's revealing to Bobby and Clay in the Season 3 finale that he's been sentenced to death row. |
| 103 | * DespairEventHorizon: In Season 4 he lost an eye, his wife is dead, he is facing a death sentence or at least life in prison and then Potter leads him to believe that his club and friends have betrayed and abandoned him. |
| 104 | * DrivenToSuicide: He is going to let the state do it for him. He will not appeal his death sentence and wants his execution date pushed forward |
| 105 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: Using a shank given to him by Clay, Otto taunts Toric (the man who has been making his life a living hell for weeks) into attacking him by writing "Your sister's blood tasted almost as good as her pussy." When an enraged Toric starts strangling Otto, Otto shanks him repeatedly and then holds the blade to Toric's throat. Once the two guards arrive, Otto cuts Toric's throat from ear to ear before being [[SuicideByCop shot dead by the guards]]. |
| 106 | * EyepatchOfPower: "10% vision" does little to prevent him from being a help to SAMCRO. |
| 107 | * EyeScream: Loses his right eye in Season 2, courtesy of the Aryan Brotherhood. |
| 108 | * AFateWorseThanDeath: Courtesy of Lee Toric. Even though he's kept in solitary confinement he's subjected to daily beatings and rapes. |
| 109 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Badass scar over his left eye. |
| 110 | * HeartbrokenBadass: After Luann's death. |
| 111 | * SuicideByCop: Knows full well what he's doing when he shanks Toric. Holding the bleeding and weak Toric hostage with the shiv against his throat, he waits until armed guards arrive, then immediately opens up Toric's throat. The guards oblige him shortly after. |
| 112 | * TakingYouWithMe: His last act of defiance involved slitting Toric's throat open and then getting killed by the guards. |
| 113 | * TongueTrauma: Otto bites his own tongue off in the Season 5 finale to show he won't speak against the Club. |
| 114 | * TraumaCongaLine: Otto's life as seen in the show is a seemingly unending torrent of misery, bad luck, betrayal and pain of every kind. |
| 115 | * TurnCoat: After Lincoln Potter convinces him that Bobby and the club have betrayed him, he agrees to testify against them. In season 5 Tara convinces him to recant. |
| 116 | * WouldHitAGirl: He beats Stahl's face against a table after faking being a turncoat. |
| 117 | * ZippingUpTheBodybag: We see Otto's face just before the bag is zipped up, and then we see him being wheeled away as Toric's body is photographed as part of a crime scene. |

| 148 | A member of the Tacoma chapter who moves to Charming. He has a history with Tig. |
| 149 | ---- |
| 150 | * BadassBiker: Throwing down with Tig to a standstill certainly qualifies. Also emphasized in "Dorylus" when he successfully helps thwart a plot to steal SAMCRO's guns. |
| 151 | * DeadpanSnarker: He dished out as much snark as he took from Tig, even getting sassy with other Sons. |
| 152 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: Gets blown to bits by a land mine. We never discover the full story between him and Tig, there's very little resolution to his character and since his death he's rarely mentioned. |
| 153 | * TheRival: To Tig. |
| 154 | * SitcomArchNemesis: Again, with Tig. Tig made it his personal mission to veto any vote to bring Kozik in as a member of SAMCRO. Eventually the feud died down and they were civil again, but Tig still can't bring himself to agree to vote him in (but had no problem with it being done while he was incarcerated). |
| 155 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Tig, before their feud and after it dies down. |

At least my sweet Thomas will never suffer my life. I miss him so much. I only pray that Jackson finds a different path. He already reminds me so much of myself."'' |
| 167 | |
| 168 | THE founding member of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, John Teller is long dead at the beginning of the series. Having died under seemingly normal circumstances for an outlaw biker, his death and legacy rear their head at the beginning of the series when his son Jackson finds a manuscript left by him in the family storage unit… |
| 169 | ---- |
| 170 | * AnarchyIsChaos: Averted, as John appears to have been and organized the original club along optimistic anarchist lines, evidenced by his deep love for the Emma Goldman quote. Out of all the show's cast he appears to be the only actual anarchist (or rather a libertarian, at least according to the principles of the philosophy) rather than a mere outlaw. |
| 171 | * DeathSeeker: He realized very quickly that Gemma and Clay were planning to kill him, but didn't bother to defend himself. He just let it happen. |
| 172 | * {{Expy}}: Of Hamlet's Father with the journal playing the role of his ghost. |
| 173 | * KnightInSourArmour: According to Gemma, he became this after Thomas died and he watched the club transform into something much darker than his original vision. |
| 174 | * OddFriendship: Shared one with Kellan Ashby, an Irish Catholic priest, through their mutual connection to the IRA. [[spoiler: It eventually led to a romantic relationship between John and Maureen Ashby, Kellan's sister and the birth of Kellan's niece Trinity.]] |
| 175 | * PosthumousCharacter: He's long-dead by the start of the series. |
| 176 | * ProperlyParanoid: He believed that Clay would try to kill him. He was very right. |
| 177 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: Strongly implied; his drive to get the club out of guns and back towards its anarchist roots would result in his death. |
| 178 | * WarriorPoet: Before Jax, there was another badass biker who was journaling, as Tara would put it. |

| 281 | * {{Jerkass}}: Kyle is a basic asshole, showing token remorse for abandoning Opie and is even willing to miss his son's band performance to make a half-baked deal with SAMCRO. |
| 282 | * TattooedCrook: He had the club colors on his back, similar to Jax and Opie. Unbeknownst to the club, Kyle never had his removed or blacked out after being excommunicated and accidentally reveals it while back in Charming. This leads to the iconic scene where it's burned off via blowtorch and tequila. |
