Sons Of Anarchy: Every Major Antagonist Ranked From Worst To Best
22. Marcus Álvarez
The bad blood between the Mayans and the Sons of Anarchy stretched back many years, long before the start of the series itself. The entire show kicked off with Álvarez and the Mayans torching the Sons' warehouse, and for the first season, he was the primary villain.
Possibly the worst thing he ever to the MC, aside from trying to assassinate Clay, was ordering the Calaveras MC to drive-by Half-Sack's wake as something of an initiation, killing Deputy Chief Hale in the process.
However, the Sons' outlook of brains before bullets allowed them to bury the past with the Mayans, even going so far as becoming allies. They helped set up a new deal in which the Grim Bastards would move the Mayan drugs, and everyone was happy.
Marcus made a bit of noise when Jax gave their gun business to August Marks, but before long they were back on the same page and running Diosa together as legitimate business partners. He may have been a vicious rival to the Sons to begin with, but by the end of the series, he had done more to help the MC than to hurt them.
