Three of a kind / Task 1 / Devlin Taylor
Jax Teller / Sons Of Anarchy
“There’s an old saying, ‘That what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger’ I don’t believe that. I think the things that try to kill you make you angry and sad. Strength comes from the good things - your family, your friends, the satisfaction of hard work. Those are the things that’ll keep you whole. Those are the things to hold on to when you’re broken.”
“Your loyalty and faith in me over the last few weeks, I can’t express my gratitude.”
“I’m an okay mechanic with a GED. The only thing I do well is outlaw.”
Devlin and Jax share a lot of traits, and a lot of background. They are both men who are weighed down by responsibility, and trying to carry this as best they can. They are brutal and at times merciless, but incredibly loyal and with a good heart beneath the faquade. Being and outlaw is all they know, all they have ever been, and probably who they always will be. They both believe in protecting and caring for their family, close, extended, blood or not blood. And lastly, both men have a love of motorcycles and mechanics.
Bryan Mills / Taken
“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.”
“I believe you. But that won’t save you.”
“That is what happens when you sit behind a desk. You forget things, like the weight in the hand of a gun that’s loaded and one that’s not.”
Devlin is not a father, but he is someone who will go to the ends of the earth for the people he loves. Much like Bryan he can be ruthless and hard, and if you do make an enemy of him, be prepared to face a shit storm with a bloody end, your end that is. He is fully dedicated to his job, and dislikes being placed behind a desk. He’ll choose the field and bloody action any day over sitting still. Neither is helpless in crisis, and will always choose action as opposed to idleness.
Marcel Gerrard / The Originals
“One survivor to another, all I want to do is keep you alive, I swear.”
“Loyalty. You can’t buy it. You can’t own it. You can’t force it. It comes only out of love and respect for the people who believe in you.”
“Wise man said 'if you know yourself and you know your enemy, then you don’t need to fear the outcome of battle.’ I know myself and I know my enemy. I know his strengths, I know his pride, and I know his house. Every nook and cranny.”
Marcel has always been about protecting those who can’t necessarily protect themselves. His methods are harsh, but usually fair, though he does have a flair for the dramatics that can make the situation go in a less than favorable direction. If he considers you family, one of his own, there is nothing he will not to do make sure you are safe. He is as loyal to you as you are to him. Devlin shares all these traits and more. Much like Marcel he is a self proclaimed king, taking over a legacy his father left for him. And he does not want to be his father, he wants to be more. He also shares his city with his enemy, and is constantly ready for battle.
