This culminates in Gemma murdering Tara in season 6, and her lie in an attempt to cover it up causes Jax to seek revenge, sparking a gang war. Jax eventually learns the truth and kills Gemma before committing suicide.Bobby Munson

In season 5 he becomes vice president when Jax Teller takes over as president, but steps down shortly after due to leadership disagreements. Bobby is intelligent and even-tempered, but uses violence when necessary. Bobby is a Jewish-American whose father was an accountant in Reno, Nevada, having kept books for the Mafia. He spent 10 years in the U.S. Army Reserve and completed 2 years of community college. Like most of SAMCRO, Bobby works as a mechanic at Teller-Morrow Automotive.

Like most of SAMCRO, he works as a mechanic at Teller-Morrow Automotive. He has two daughters, Dawn and Fawn. He suffers from acute pediophobia, a fear of dolls, which Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter actually has. Tig is a necrophiliac, and is hinted to have a proclivity for other paraphilias. A dog lover, he holds an open grudge against [|Herman Kozic] over ownership of a German Shepherd. During the series he rescues and adopts an American Pit Bull Terrier from a dog fighting ring. Tig steps down as sergeant-at-arms in season 4 after learning of Clay's antagonistic schemes and guilt over his own violent actions, notably when he mistakenly murdered [|Donna Winston] in a botched assassination attempt on [|Opie]. In season 4, Tig accidentally kills the daughter of crime kingpin [|Damon Pope], resulting in the murder of his daughter Dawn, and inadvertently Opie's as well. After being saved from Pope by Jax, he becomes fiercely loyal to him. During the final two seasons, Tig develops a sexual and later romantic relationship with Venus Van Dam, a transgender prostitute. When Jax is excommunicated from the club during the final episode of the series, newly appointed president Chibs Telford selects Tig to be the vice president.

Clay serves as president from season 1 until stripped of his position at the end of season 4. He is the husband of Gemma and step-father to Jax.

SAMCRO later votes to excommunicate Clay from the club, and in season 6 they orchestrate the assassination of Clay and his rogue IRA allies.Opie Winston

When he returned to his hometown of Charming, California, in 1967, he felt ostracized by the same society he had just risked his life for. He eventually co-founded the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club with fellow war veteran John Teller as a form of social rebellion and freedom. He was JT's vice president until he was diagnosed with emphysema in 1991. He then suffered from severe emphysema and had to carry an oxygen tank with him at all times, which prevent his going out on runs, but he still attended "Church". Piney’s emphysema is implied to have been caused by years of smoking, and he is often seen holding and smelling unlit cigarettes during sit-downs. Despite his age he proved to be just as tough as his younger club brothers. Piney is the father of Harry "Opie" Winston, Jax Teller's best friend and another member of the Sons of Anarchy. Piney was the only contemporary SAMCRO member to wear the original Sons of Anarchy denim kutte. He is a heavy drinker, even more so than the other club members, with his preferred liquor being Patrón.
