After their return from Vietnam as paratroopers, John Teller and Piermont 'Piney' Winston roamed all around Northern California under the name the Sons of Anarchy. More specifically, they travelled from Eureka to Big Sur Redwood country. It wasn't until John's wife, Gemma, fell pregnant with their first child that they decided to lay down roots in Charming. John felt Charming was too cute a name for a motorcycle club so they decided to call the first charter of the Sons of Anarchy the Redwood Originals SAMCRO was born. After setting up shop in Charming they recruited several other war veterans and motorcycle enthusiasts Wally Grazer, Thomas 'Uncle Tom' Whitnet, Chico Villenueva, Lenny 'The Pimp' Janowitz, Clay Morrow, Keith McGee and Otto 'Lil Killer' Moran. John's vision was to have the club act as a form of social rebellion while also trying to protect Charming from the vast number of gangs and drug dealers surrounding the town.
