Alexander "Tig" Trager is a major character in the FX TV series, Sons of Anarchy and a minor character in Season 4 of its spin-off, Mayans M.C.
He was portrayed by Kim Coates, who also played Zachariah Kull in the Scream Team; Bennett Sinclair in Resident Evil: Afterlife; Agent Carter in Smallville; Hector in Tangled: The Series; and The Watchman in Hostage.
History[]
He is the former Sergeant-of-Arms of SAMCRO, and is extremely loyal to the club itself - especially the former president, Clay Morrow. He initially had a strained love/hate relationship with President, Jackson 'Jax' Teller, arising from his use of violence in situations which may not call for it, but the relationship between the two improved as time went on.
His somewhat blind loyalty to Clay during the earlier seasons often caused suffering to his fellow club members, especially Opie Winston, whose wife, Donna, was accidentally murdered by him while acting on Clay's orders.
As a result of these incidents, Tig's relationship with Clay soured after a while and he was stripped of his Sergeant-of-Arms position once Jax took over leadership of the club from Clay. Despite this, he remained loyal to the club and Jax throughout the rest of the series. He is generally callous in demeanour but occasionally exhibits sensitivity.
Personality[]
Tig exhibits many characteristics of a sociopath. He is likewise a necrophile, and tends to view that as a normal thing, an example where Clay Morrow points it out, he casually asks what he's talking about. Despite these traits, he is occasionally sensitive, thoughtful, and compassionate, as seen when he decided to save Chucky and to keep a dog he found. He is also fiercely loyal to SAMCRO, and especially so to Clay, going so far as to try to assassinate Laroy, thinking that the Niners tried to kill Clay.
His rapport with Jax was strained from the rough start they had in season one, where Tig's violent preferences clashed with Jax’s preference for peaceful methods (“brains before bullets”). As time progresses, this tension recedes somewhat, despite Jax choosing to promote both Chibs and Happy to sergeant-at-arms over Tig. After Opie's death, Tig had to agree to always back Jax's decisions, given that Tig had put the Sons in the situation where Opie was killed.
Trivia[]
- Tig has a tendency towards sexually suggestive behavior, such as pulling out his private parts to Juice Ortiz just for asking him a question. He also has a short temper, and is very aggressive, sometimes acting without thinking.
- Tig appears to be good friends with Happy Lowman. They have a friendly relationship, and are somewhat competive, often about to challenge each other into fights.
