Top 10 Sons of Anarchy Characters

Can't believe there isn't a list for this awesome show! This is my personal favorites and characters I think everybody else put on their list to. Feel free to add.
The Top Ten
1 Chibs Telford

My absolute favorite character in the entire show. This man's love runs deep. Great performance by the actor who was able to capture subtle expressions that revealed his emotions without having to say a thing.

I found his interaction with Juice to be especially touching. The desperation when he found out Juice had tried to hang himself, him giving Juice a good beating for betraying the club, and later patching him up. Even at the very end, I think Chibs disliked the idea of Juice being killed by some perverted Nazi guy and probably would have wanted the life of his fallen brother to end by his hands.

2 Tig Trager

A psychotic murderer with a soft side as well. Tig loves to drink and have girls in his presence but is also very dedicated to the club. He was the right-hand man of Clay and is now developing a new relationship with Jax, which seems kind of prosperous. I love Tig as a character, and I hope you guys do as well.

I love his sick sense of humor. He has the best lines and quips and never fails to make me laugh. He is by far one of the most violent characters, but I love that he has a soft side too and is very loyal to those closest to him.

3 Opie Winston

My top three favorite characters. I like Opie. He's a sick character. His road has been long, emotional, and very violent. Truly one who has suffered throughout Sons of Anarchy's run. He lost his wife, father, and his whole family.

Most importantly, he went out a warrior doing what he does best, protecting his brothers. When Jax had to pick which Son would die, Opie decided he'd sacrifice himself instead. Opie is a true hero and a loyal friend.

Opie was amazing. Seeing Ryan Hurst play a role so opposite of what he normally does, he did a flawless job. Incredible actor, main character, and supporting actor to a group of actors (and creator) dedicated to great storytelling and some of the most treasured TV hours of my life.

Opie's story actually brought me to tears numerous times. Incredible, incredible, incredible.

4 Jax Teller Jackson "Jax" teller is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the FX crime drama television series Sons of Anarchy created by Kurt Sutter.

Good son, father, and friend. Sensitive and smart but sexy and badass. Yes, he's the perfect tall, dark, and handsome, but he is a much more complex character than that. He faces many external and internal conflicts throughout the series and experiences a lot of character development.

But his overall conflict is trying to do right by his family and be a good man that he himself can be proud of, despite all the awful things he may do or feel he has to do. Ladies want to kiss him, and men want to be him, but everybody loves him. Jax has many traits that make him such a good, complicated, round character and my personal favorite.

5 Juice Ortiz

He has the most character depth. He's really tragic. Everyone abandons him - his dad, the club (his only family), and Gemma turns on him too. He was loyal to the club and did less wrong than Bobby (who slept with a brother's old lady) or Tig (who tried to kill a brother but killed his wife). Yet, he got the mayhem vote ultimately for accidentally telling Nero about killing Darvany (on Jax's orders) because the guilt of murdering an innocent woman got to him, and he was hardly lucid when he told him.

I could go on about this all day, but he did not deserve what he got at all. The finale (Jax's death) is justice for Juice. To sum him up, he's hot, sweet, loyal, a little stupid, funny, twisted up, sad, lost, and tragic. RIP, brother.

6 Gemma Teller

Gemma is the definition of a BAMF. She does bad things, but she does it for her family. She is the one who really started Sons of Anarchy, and she's the one who has kept it going. She's done it through manipulation, but you gotta work with what you got. Gemma was a mom to all the club members. Gemma was a great mom who just loved her family too much.

I love Gemma. She's a badass lady but also so loving and devoted to her family. It doesn't hurt that she's also drop-dead gorgeous.

The actress did a very good job. I love characters who are bad but also have a good side. And I really love strong women!

7 Nero Padilla

He is the best character. Why isn't he more at the top?

Who doesn't love Jimmy Smits? He brings each show he's on to another level!

Sweet, kind, suave guy. No one was kinder than him.

8 Happy

The most legit character. Often used for comic relief, but season 4, episode 10, getting critical acclaim is in part due to him. I think Happy being a Hell's Angel really helped Sutter blossom this brilliant series. And I'll be damned if you didn't shed a tear with Hap just before Jax rides off! Him, Chibs, and Tig will presumably lead the club to a better future!

Happy's role in the show should have been more. He was a great supporting actor, and I really hope this helps his career in acting, because his performance was great. Serious, badass, strong, funny, and supportive. Definitely one of the best on the show.

9 Bobby Elvis

He always seemed to be the guy who played it safe and kept to himself. Meanwhile, as the show continues, you start to realize Bobby may have been the glue that kept SAMCRO together the whole time.

Who could forget the Jew in leather? Bobby's about as cool as a Jew can be when you are in an MC group. I love Bobby's character.

Bobby is the fun uncle at the family reunion.

10 Clay Morrow

The absolute meaning of a badass biker. But also a sweet, kind, caring father figure to Jax, only to be gunned down by him. Poor Clay, but we love him to death.

Before season one, the man with the chin of steel brought about a likable and stone-hard goon. Clay remained my favorite up until season 4.

The Contenders
11 Chuck Marstein

Chuck is, in my opinion, the best character in SOA. If you doubt it, just think a minute about the character. The guy is always positive, even after getting his fingers chopped off by Chinese gangsters. He also shows a great deal of empathy toward the other characters and often hints that he understands what is going on even though nobody bothers telling him. Chucky is the best, and we can all accept that.

Chucky is the man. Every time I see him, I smile, awaiting to hear him say, "I accept that."

12 Filthy Phil
13 Tara Knowles

Tara raised Abel as her own and loved Jax very deeply. She was a great doctor and helped the club significantly. She's tough, brave, and knew what was best for her family. Tara wanted to save her boys from the violence they were surrounded by. Sadly, Tara's end came far too soon.

Tara was the character most people identified with. When she died after the 6th season, many of the remaining characters were lost. The 7th season definitely lacked without her presence.

14 Chief Wayne Uncer

Warm-hearted, easy to like, smart, and peaceful old man who wants nothing but peace.

15 Half-Sack Epps

I think they shouldn't have killed Half-Sack. His character arc would have been awesome! I mean, the balls on that guy, the way he put his life on the line to protect Clay and then finally to protect Jax's son.

Half-Sack was the effing man. Though he was called Half-Sack, he had plenty of huevos. I was really shocked when he died. Sometimes I even forgot he was a prospect. He, along with the big hefty fellow that came after him, are my two favorite members of SAMCRO that were prospects.

16 Otto Delaney

I love Otto. He should be #1. For the simple reason that he's practically blind and he killed at least three people while blind and bit his own tongue. He sacrificed the most out of all the characters and suffered and was still loyal to SAMCRO. When he did give them up, he fixed it almost immediately.

The poor blind inmate who has done so many things for SAMCRO even when he can barely see and walk by himself. He has taken so many hits and is portrayed by the show's creator.

He is a crazy psycho but a very interesting character.

17 Herman Kozik
18 Piney Winston
19 Ratboy
20 Agent June Stahl
21 Eli Roosevelt

Straight-edge cop doing his job who lets his business fall too deep into his family. I feel for him. Can't say I'm happy he replaced Unser, but a great twist to a great show about outlaws, and allowing to show how tragedy allows a straight-shooter cop to help an outlaw biker gang. Great job.
