Sons of Anarchy - Jax And Tara

Description

Jax Teller is the vice president of the Sons of Anarchy California Redwood Originals Motorcycle Club (SAMCRO), who is trying to remake the increasingly violent gun-running club into the one founded by his late father, John Thomas "JT" Teller. Jax is willing to compromise this goal in the short term for the club's and his long term future. Jax is guided by a manuscript of his father's that he recently discovered. "The Life and Death of Sam Crow: How the Sons of Anarchy Lost Their Way" talks about how the club, under the influence of Jax's now step-father, Clay Morrow, is heading down a bad path. As Jax learns more about Clay's history with his father, their relationship becomes more complicated. Clay is married to Jax's meddling, tough-as-nails mother, Gemma, who fully embraces her role as an "old lady" in the club. (The family dynamic and "ghostly" influence of Jax's late father is modeled on Shakespeare's Hamlet.)

Jax is tough, but sensitive and shows genuine love for his family, whose safety he puts above all else. His love for the club and his brothers in it is a close second, particularly his childhood friend, Opie Winston. He doesn't mind violence, sometimes in the extreme, if it serves a purpose.

Jax is more than just a thug, showing the ability to plan, manipulate and scheme to achieve his aims. He is able to swallow his distaste for someone to do business with them if it serves his purpose, but he never forgets when he has been wronged and always settles his scores eventually. He is very good at seeing the angles different people are playing, but has a habit of running from one mess into another


Tara becomes Jax Teller's girlfriend and their relationship progresses throughout the series. Tara does not seem like the typical biker's "old lady." She is a pediatric surgeon who grew up in Charming and dated Jax in high school didn't plan on coming back. Her departure broke Jax's heart; he never got over her. Their relationship and her acceptance of the club and its violent ways is cemented after he helps defend her from an unstable former boyfriend who follows her to Charming. She surprises herself often as she compromises her morals, pushes her own boundaries of right and wrong and increasingly feels more comfortable in the SAMCRO world.

She clashes early with Gemma Teller, Jax's sometimes venomous, meddling mother.

She has a complex relationship with Margaret, the administrator at her hospital, who is clearly pained to see someone so bright and talented as Tara mixed up with what she views as bad people.

Tara is drawn to the loyalty found within the club, and understands how much it means to Jax, but cannot handle the secrecy. She knows she must appear to be a supportive "old lady" but Jax often keeps her apprised of club business to the benefit of their relationship.

Background: 
 Jax was born in 1978 and raised in Charming, California, and grew up with SAMCRO. His day job is as a mechanic at Teller-Morrow garage. He is the father of Abel, with his junkie ex-wife Wendy. Abel inherited a congenital heart defect from Gemma's side of the family which also led to the death of Jax's brother, Thomas, when he was six-years-old. Jax has another son, Thomas, with his girlfriend Tara, his former high school girlfriend who returned to Charming. He has served time in prison for smuggling and gun-running, his last arrest was in 2003. Jax rides a 2003 Harley Davidson Dyna Super Glide Sport.

Pediatric resident at St. Thomas Hospital in Charming. Her mother died when she was nine years old and her father was an alcoholic who died more recently. Has a crow tattoo on her lower back (for SAMCRO) that she got in high school when she was dating Jax. She left Charming when she was 19 to study at UC San Diego. She attended Loyola Medical school in Chicago and was in the top of her class. Did her internship at Chicago Presbyterian, where she dated an ATF agent and became pregnant, but ended the pregnancy. The souring of her relationship with Josh Kohn was part of the reason she returned to Charming after her 11 year absence.
