Clarence "Clay" Morrow (Ron Perlman) The step father of Jax, and is the former President of SAMCRO, and the youngest original member of the club. He has been married to Gemma since the death of her first husband, John Teller, in 1993. Clay has been shown to struggle with his age and developing arthritis, frequently allowing Jax to handle some SAMCRO affairs. According to Gemma, Clay has spent time in prison (as did her first husband, John Teller). At the end of the most recent episode, Clay has been voted out of the club after revealing all that he had done to them. After Jax beats him badly, he is last seen with Happy removing his SAMCRO tattoos on his back and arm by smudging them over with ink.
