NPR’s Book Concierge Our Guide To 2013’s Great Reads. SAMCRO is the only life Jax has ever known. He lives for the club, but questions the violent extremes the club will go to for . Despite living for the club his entire life, Jax comes to acknowledge (like his father before him), that he was nothing more than a criminal, and makes it his final ambition to make sure hissons never come to know the life of chaos he lived, as well as fulfilling his father's legacy. He is the main protagonist of the series and one of two characters to appear in every episode of the series along with Gemma. He has deep set, dark grey eyes and unkept dirty blonde hair that is most often cut around his shoulders. Jax has multiple tattoos on his body—one on his right arm of his father, John Teller, one on his chest for his first born son, Abel, one on his left arm for his second born son, Thomas, and most noticeably, the crest of the club on his back. However, in earlier seasons, he finds himself doubting SAMCRO's outlaw violence and illegal business- oriented direction, growing weary of all the problems and stress associated with the lifestyle; which causes tension between him and then Club President, Clay Morrow. However, Jax remains loyal to his comrades, always doing his best to keep his brothers out of trouble and to make the best decisions for the Club. Jax is calm and collected most of the time but is easily angered and has no remorse in killing people he thinks deserves it. However, he does usually act in a friendly and warm- hearted manner but is hard to reason with when is angry. Realizing leading SAMCRO is his destiny, something he later admits to never really wanting, Jax attempts to lead the Club away from all of the relationships and activities that cause so many problems for him, his family and his brothers. Jax leads the Club far more liberally than Clay had done, as he is very tolerant and farsighted, having no problems with people of other colors or sexual orientation.

He, along with the majority of SAMCRO live by a code of outlaw justice, opting for an . He is also a trained and skilled marksman, having been seen operating a multitude of firearms with deadly affect. His skill set, leadership abilities and loyalty command him respect from both allied and rival gangs and leaders such as the Mayans MC President Marcus Alvarez, leaders of White Supremacy groups such as the Nordics and Aryan Brotherhood, One- Niners leaders Laroy Wayne and later Tyler, king- pin gangsters Damon Pope, August Marks and Henry Lin, as well as high- ranking IRAmembers, Galindo Cartel members, his fellow SOA members, gangster and business partner Nero Padilla and even various current and former law enforcement officials. His brothers in SAMCRO are all completely loyal to him, trusting him without a doubt and some, specifically Chibs Telford and Bobby Munson, do their best to guide him.

In the wake of Tara's murder and his Club's conflict with powerful organized crime groups his personality changed drastically, having no problems killing numerous men, torturing and killing a man in prison or torturing and then putting salt on a man's wounds before stabbing him in the head. Also, the death of Bobby contributes to this violence, Jax sadistically plucks a man's eye out with his finger and then shoots him in the head. Jax becomes extremely selfish and reckless, caring more about avenging the death of Tara than what is best for him or the club. He loses all of his honor and becomes a compulsive liar readily betraying and murdering friends and allies. However, by the end of the series, he was able to find some semblance of peace as he completed Tara's last wishes of getting his boys out of Charming, getting SAMCRO out of gun running completely and avenging Bobby.

They both become fully patched members of SAMCRO in 1. At some point, Jax assumes the role of Vice President of SAMCRO until finally becoming President in 2. Jax also works as a mechanic at Teller- Morrow Automotive Repair, his father and Clay's business. He has served time in prison for smuggling and gun- running, his last arrest was in 2. Living out the outlaw motorcyclist lifestyle, Jax claims to have slept with hundreds of women, but after becoming lonely, married a woman named Wendy Case, but later filed for divorce because of her drug habit. After Wendy got clean, they reconciled and conceived a son, Abel. Overwhelmed by the idea of being a father and tired of fighting with Wendy, Jax leaves his pregnant wife, allowing her to continue to live in his home in Charming while he moved into the clubhouse. Left on her own, Wendy begins using again and winds up overdosing. Abel was born 1. 0 weeks premature and addicted to crank in the pilot episode. In season 5, Jax married his high- school sweetheart and the love of his life Tara Knowles, mother of his second son, Thomas. The SOA arrive on the scene, where local police officers are already investigating. Jax and Clay talk to Sheriff Vic Trammel about the blaze, who claims that propane tanks inside the building blew up, and suspects arson due to the bootprints both inside and outside. Trammel then shows them the burned corpses of two women hidden beneath the building, who were illegal immigrants. It is later revealed that they were Mexican prostitutes who had sex with the club's Sergeant- at- Arms, Tig. When Jax returns home, he begins looking through storage, where finds old photographs of his late father, and a journal entitled . He is then called away to a group meeting (. These are Clay Morrow (President), Bobby (Treasurer), Tig (Sergeant- at- Arms), Chibs (Medic), Piney (Co- founder), Juice (Intelligence Officer) and Happy. Clay announces that Juice has located the guns, and that they were stolen by the Mayans, a rival motorcycle gang. They decide to go and get some payback the next day, despite Jax suggesting the club looking into other ways of earning money instead of dealing weapons, especially with so many rival groups on their back. Tara Knowles tells him that track marks were found on Wendy's hands and feet, and that they had to perform an emergency C- section on her, leaving the baby ten weeks premature. The baby has a heart defect and a tear in his abdomen. The latter is from Wendy's drug abuse, but the former is likely a genetic defect. Together, both defects are near- fatal, and the baby has just a 2. Jax and Tara were high school sweethearts, and she personally requested to help on his case. Jax decides not to visit his son, named Abel, and instead flees the hospital. He then goes to a local bar with Bobby and Chibs, and beats Wendy's dealer, a member of the Nordics gang, with a pool cue multiple times. However, Jax convinces him to ride along with the next day. Jax later goes back to visit Wendy in hospital. Wendy promises that she'll get clean. She also says that the doctors told her Abel is getting stronger, but she is facing a charge of fetal abuse, and that she has a stash in her drawer at home. She asks him to get rid of the stash before she faces time in jail. Jax turns up at Wendy's house, which he finds his mother feverishly cleaning. Jax tells her that Abel's going to die, which angers Gemma, who slaps him and tells him that he's the only one his son has. Jax asks her about his father's original vision of the club, and she responds that it was to create a brotherhood and a family. Jax tells her about the writings he found and how his father wanted a social rebellion, not an outlaw club. When she leaves, Jax flushes Wendy's stash down the toilet, and takes her gun. Clay and Gemma begin to worry that Jax is abandoning the club and what it stands for. The next day, Clay, Jax, and Bobby meet Ernest Darby, the Nordics' leader, and tell him never to bring methamphetamines or any other drug into Charming again. That night, as they prepare to go and get their guns back from San Leandro, Jax tells Opie not to come because of the situation with his family, and Bobby is occupied performing his Elvis act at a club in Lake Tahoe. When they arrive at the industrial storage warehouse and find the guns, three Mayans turn up in a car outside. Clay and Chibs shoot and kill the Mayans, and another man, who has a number of Nazi and white supremacist tattoos. He was a member of the Nordics, a local skinhead gang, who are allied with the Mayans, and it later emerges that his name was Whistler. Jax was also armed, but hit a mental barrier before he could fire a shot. They escape with the weapons and destroy the building, using explosives. However, he is dying from cancer, and will retire at the end of the month, handing his power over to his Deputy, David Hale, who is overtly suspicious of SAMCRO, and will almost definitely begin an investigation into the club.
