Sons of Anarchy

Ethan Zobelle (Adam Arkin) is the head of the League of American Nationalists (also known as "L.O.A.N."), a white separatist gang who desires to gain a legitimate foothold in Charming and force SAMCRO out. In the beginning of season two, Zobelle moves into Charming and presents himself to the townspeople and local law enforcement as the owner of the newly opened Impeccable Smokes cigar shop on the town's Main Street. Zobelle is introduced to Deputy Chief Hale though Hale's older brother, Jacob, who is hoping to benefit financially from Zobelle's help and the removal of SAMCRO from Charming. Zobelle presents himself as being a means to get SAMCRO out of Charming. Deputy Chief Hale, noting that his is aware of Zobelle's racial beliefs, initially refuses Zobelle's assistance. Simultaneously, Zoebelle almost immediately tries to undermine SAMCRO's iron-fisted rule over the town and threatens dire consequences against the club if they do not heed his warnings.
