Sons Of Anarchy: Every Major Antagonist Ranked From Worst To Best

2. Ethan Zobelle

Some adversaries Jax and co. came up against were dangerous because of their recklessness, their connections, or their aggression. Zobelle was incredibly dangerous because he was smart. Partnering with the Mayans and the League of American Nationalists, he set about manipulating just about every major player in Charming.

He fueled Darby's meth lab, forcing the Sons' hand knowing that they would destroy it, and gave Hale the evidence needed to have them put away. He then flooded the streets of Charming with Darby's drugs and prostitutes, again giving Hale the ammo to stop it, proving that the town didn't need the Sons of Anarchy.

Thanks to Zobelle, Clay, Jax, Bobby, Juice, Tig, and Happy were forced to spend 14 months in prison, somewhat using the club's motto of brains before bullets against them.

That's not to say that he didn't have a ruthless side, however. He ordered the rape of Gemma, almost killed Chibs with a car bomb, and knew that he was bulletproof no matter what he did because he was an FBI informant, and could feed the Feds information about much bigger players than himself. He was ultimately driven out of Charming as the Sons eventually broke down his lines of defence, but there are few that bloodied the collective noses of the MC quite like Ethan Zobelle.
