History Characters / SonsOfAnarchyMarksInc

* KickTheDog: Ordering Tig's daughter to be burned alive while Tig watches. Although considering what Tig did it might be considered a KickTheSonOfABitch.

* BigBadEnsemble: Of Season 5 with [[spoiler:Clay Morrow]].

* SmarterThanYouLook: He might not have expected to take control of the Niners, or even particularly want the position, but he turns out to be a pretty good at his job one he settles in.

The current biggest crime boss and drug kingpin in Oakland, formerly Damon Pope's number two. He is a ruthless individual who has no qualms doing what is necessary to get his point across. He worked for Damon Pope since the age of 17, showing a long term affiliation to him and complete devotion. He took over Pope's position of power after his boss' demise.

The most dangerous gangster in Oakland. A seemingly powerful businessman on the outside, Damon Pope is a bloodthirsty, ruthless and calculating individual who has power over many black gangs and does not hesitate to use extreme degrees of violence to demonstrate his power, and to make things go his way. He distances himself from his illegal activities, as he does not want any of them to leave a trail to him. He goes to extreme lengths to ensure exact order in his operations.

The current biggest crime boss and drug kingpin in Oakland, formerly Damon Pope's number two. He is a very cold person who has no problem doing what is necessary to get his point across. He worked for Damon Pope since the age of 17, showing a long term affiliation to him and complete devotion. He took over Pope's position of power after his boss' demise.

* FauxAffablyEvil: He's pretty polite, even respectfully calling Tig 'Mr. Trager' as he burns Dawn Trager alive. He blurs this in with AffablyEvil though, as he seems to like Jax at least. Although you can visibly see him trying to restrain himself from losing his temper several times throughout the season when Jax becomes a little too demanding. This foreshadows his loss of composure during his death. Most obvious in the scenes where Jax meets him in the Season 5 finale. First Jax demands proof of intent from Pope in regards to his Charming Heights investment to guarantee the work contract for Teller-Morrow. Before Marks steps in, you can see him about blow his top at the audacity of this biker boy demanding something of him. The second time is when Jax demands Tig's cut before he's killed. Although he catches himself much quicker, you can still see him struggling to let it slide.

The current biggest crime boss and drug kingpin in Oakland, formerly Damon Pope's number two. He is a very cold person who has no problem doing what is necessary to get his point across. He states to Jax, before a meet with Pope, that he had known Mr. Pope since he was seventeen, showing a long term affiliation to him and complete devotion. He took over Pope's position of power after his boss' demise.

* 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.

* KarmicDeath: Not only he gets OutGambitted by Jax, he gets killed by Tig.

** Has her boyfriend butchered.

** Forces the people associated to carry out his own plans while simultaneously destroying their members.
* ScaryBlackMan: Like Laroy, he isn't physically intimidating, but he commands such power that people are afraid to even target him.

* TheSociopath: [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes He does love his daughter]], and he is more forward thinking than most sociopaths. However, he has a complete lack of empathy, commits revenge in a cold, calculating way, and has a very inflated ego. Pope can burn an innocent girl alive as easily as lighting a cigar.
* 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''.

* TheConsigliere: To Damon Pope, until Pope's death.

* KarmicDeath: Not only he gets OutGambitted by Jax, he gets killed by Tig.

* LovableCoward: At first, pre-taking a level in badass. He's understandably a stuttering mess when August kills Laroy, then Darnell and declares him to be the new man in charge. It's easy to sympathize with him, since he's suddenly been forced into a new role he doesn't want that puts him in massive amounts of danger.

* NumberTwo: To Laroy, prior to his death.

* TheSociopath: Subverted. He does love his daughter, and he is more forward thinking than most sociopaths. However, he has a complete lack of empathy, commits revenge in a cold, calculating way, and has a very inflated ego. Pope can burn an innocent girl alive as easily as lighting a cigar.

* FauxAffablyEvil: He's pretty polite, even respectfully calling Tig 'Mr. Trager' as he burns Dawn Trager alive. He blurs this in with AffablyEvil though, as he seems to like Jax at least.

This foreshadows his loss of composure during his death.
