Who is Wayne Unser in Sons of Anarchy?
The chief on the club's payroll · Charming
Wayne Unser (The chief on the club's payroll) is a character in Sons of Anarchy, part of Charming. Chief Wayne Unser has run the Charming police department for decades on a simple arrangement: SAMCRO keeps the real criminals out, and Unser keeps the law's eyes pointed elsewhere. Dying of cancer and overdue for retirement, he stays in the chair mostly for Gemma — a devotion of thirty years' standing that everyone but Gemma prices correctly. Unser is the series' tragic broker: a decent man who has traded away just enough decency, year by year, to be indispensable to everyone and saved by no one.
