* DestroyTheEvidence: Glenn thought he could trust him with the pictures he took of Baker, Moody and Rogers' involvement in the drug trafficking ring run by Chick Winslow at Henners' Barn after the recent arrest of Smokey Cole, but he would later be proven wrong near the end when he tells the Rangers about the copies of the photos he took and the negatives hidden at a library. Rather than take the original photos Glenn gave him to internal affairs, he likely destroyed them before planting the stolen drugs in his locker, and then sending Baker, Moody and Rogers after Glenn and Simms, where the latter officer is killed by the three and made to look like a suicide, and then tried to kill District Attorney Clark after they chased Glenn to her office.

!!Vincent "Vince" Pike

'''Appearances''': "[[Recap/WalkerTexasRangerS5E19DaysPast Days Past]]"
A notorious racketeer who killed Walker's former fiancée, Ellen Garrett. He was originally sentenced to life for that particular crime, but much to Walker's and C.D.'s shock, dismay and anger, he was released after serving ten years, and now had revenge on his mind for his imprisonment by targeting Walker's many close friends, including C.D., Trivette and Alex.
-------
* AmoralAttorney: Several times Walker and C.D. tried bringing him in, he's always managed to hire one shyster lawyer after another. After he is sentenced to life for killing Ellen, he is granted an early release after 10 years.
* AndYourLittleDogToo: Upon his release from prison, he plans to get his revenge on Walker by going after Trivette, CD and Alex. After his mooks beat up CD, Walker confronts him for this crime and tells him he can do what he wants with him, but leave his friends out of it. Needless to say, he wasn't willing to oblige with this demand.
* BigBad: He serves as the main antagonist of "Days Past".
* JustGotOutOfJail: He was originally sentenced to life in prison for killing Ellen, but only served ten years, and was released at the beginning of the episode. Upon seeing this on the news, needless to say, Walker was seething with rage; cue him [[AGlassInTheHand shattering his drinking glass in shock and anger]], and leaving a bloody handprint on the passenger window of his Dodge Ram! This is also {{lampshade|hanging}}d by C.D. moments before Walker shatters his glass:
-->'''C.D.:''' How can they let that animal out in just ten years?!

A mob boss who tried to cover up his illicit business practices from the feds by framing his ex-wife, Lara, for the murder of his business partner. Upon learning Lara escaped from prison after her prison bus was ambushed by the boyfriends of two other escapees, he seeks to find and kill her.
-------
* AmoralAttorney: Lara's defense attorney was on his payroll and testified against her to cover up his crimes and didn't even file for an appeal; it was a slam dunk for poor Lara. Alex notes he should've been disbarred, since she'd be out of a job if she prosecuted a case like that lawyer defended hers. Despite getting no consequences for this, the lawyer passes away in a car accident.
* BigBad: He serves as the principal antagonist of "Desperate Measures".
* FauxAffablyEvil
* LaserGuidedKarma: After Walker and his team arrest him for the previous murder of his business partner, his illicit business practices, killing Lara's uncle Walt (one of his goons, Victor, testified against him for this crime) and almost killing Lara herself, we can only assume he is serving life in prison or is facing the death penalty.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: See LaserGuidedKarma above for what happened to him. As for his lover, Caprice, it is unknown of what happened to her after his arrest.

A member of Jake Horbart's gang who broke into the home of Oliver and Mary Winfield and then tried to kill Cara and Max Parkins after murdering Steve, who served as the getaway driver and lookout.
-------
* AssholeVictim: He is killed by being hit by a speeding semi while being pursued by Gage and Sydney; the driver never had the chance to slow down.
* BigBad: One of the antagonists of "Child of Hope" along with his accomplices, Horbart, Lopez, Frank Jerrett and the Gorge Brothers.
* JustGotOutOfJail: He and his accomplices decide to celebrate their release from prison by committing a home invasion in a nice neighborhood, whereas Steve doesn't want any part of it, ending up serving as the lookout and getaway driver. Steve panics and flees after the homeowners are killed, at which point the gang steals the homeowners' Mercedes and follow him to his trailer and kill him.
* LeaveNoWitnesses: 19-year-old Steve Parkins, out of prison after serving a six-month stint for shoplifting (which was his second offense and the judge decided to set an example by not going easy on him), has made a lot of pretty bad choices in his life, but his biggest one was befriending him, Jake Horbart and Frank Jerrett. Now out of prison, the gang robs the Winfield residence while they were attending a charity auction. However, Mary and Oliver return home just in time to see the gang rob their house, and then be murdered (he, Horbart and Jerrett did the thieving and killing while Steve was the lookout and getaway driver). Steve panics and flees with the getaway car, at which point he and the others steal the Winfields' Mercedes, where they eventually follow him to his trailer and kill him before he could flee. This kicks off the premise of the episode, with Jake and his gang now going after his wife, Cara and their young son, Max.

One of the toughest outlaw biker gangs in the southwest who has been distributing crystal meth across Texas to truckers, whether or not they were qualified. They were working for a drug dealer by the name of Darby, who plotted to have their meth distributed all over the country.
-------
* TheAggressiveDrugDealer: Wiping out the competition like no tomorrow distributing a powerful crystal meth that's 99.44% pure, they have not only been dealing drugs on their own, but they also do business with other drug dealers, like Darby, for instance.
* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: To a "T"!
* AssholeVictim: It's not them who fall under this trope, but a rival meth lab they take out at the start of the episode after the Boyd Scranton incident.
* BadGuyBar: One of their favorite places to hang out is the Lonestar Bar.
-->'''Gage:''' [[LampshadeHanging And it is a nasty joint, Walker, I'm telling you-- two Texas Rangers are gonna stick out like sore thumbs.]]\\
'''Walker:''' Yeah, you're right. But a couple of bikers from out of town won't.
* BigBad: This villainous biker gang serves as the antagonists of "Unsafe Speed" [[BigBadEnsemble along with]] Darby.
* CollapsingLair: After Sydney and Gage's cover is blown, Grangus leaves her to die in the meth lab while he and the other bikers escape, but Walker and Gage make to the lab just in time to free her. Gage had already freed Sydney after Walker beats down Grangus, but the Rangers weren't about to let him die in the blast.
* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: Gage and Sydney have to commit a big-time crime to pass their initiation into the Raptors so they can gain access to their meth lab. They're able to avoid causing real trouble by having DPS Trooper Freels stop them and [[FakingTheDead pretending to kill him]], which is good enough.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Along with the Demons, the name of this gang sounds pretty {{meaningful|name}}!
* RaceAgainstTheClock: After Sydney and Gage have their cover blown by Vander, Grangus uses Sydney's handcuffs to restrain her to the leg of a table in the meth lab and sets it to blow sky-high in about two minutes. Walker and Gage arrive JustInTime while Trivette apprehends Bolger, Doc, Darby and the other bikers and dealers, and while Walker is busy beating down Grangus, Gage has to free Sydney before she is enveloped in the explosion. Gage has to remove the leg of the table Sydney is cuffed to to free her. At the same time Gage frees Sydney, Walker had just given Grangus the finishing blow, but they weren't about to let him die in the explosion.
* SelfDestructMechanism: Grangus mixes up some dangerous chemicals in the meth lab when he leaves Sydney to die in there after her and Gage's cover is blown, but Walker and Gage save her in time.

-> '''Portrayed by''': Creator/GaryBusey\\
'''Appearances''': "Special Witness"
A federally-wanted assassin and serial killer based out of Chicago who is hired by Morris Foley to perpetrate the hit against Trent Malloy so he can't testify against him in court. After he stabs him, the Rangers and Carlos set out to capture him to add a charge of witness tampering to Foley's growing rap sheet. Sally, a Special Olympian with Downs Syndrome whom Trent was escorting to running practice, was the only witness to the crime, and Foley was surprised to learn how instrumental Sally was in easily identifying him as Trent's attacker, to which he later kills the sketch artist, Gloria Doran, and then tries to kill Sally herself.
-------
* BigBad: The main antagonist of "Special Witness" [[BigBadEnsemble along with Morris Foley]].
* JuryAndWitnessTampering: A common thing for mob bosses to try to avoid prison time. Morris Foley hires him to kill or hospitalize Trent so he doesn't testify against him, and since he's Alex's only witness, without his testimony, she has no case to build against him. Before he could get the chance to kill Sally, he is arrested by Walker and Trent pulls through in time for the trial.
* LeaveNoWitnesses: When he stabs Trent, the only witness to that crime was a Special Olympian named Sally, whom he was escorting to running practice, and he would then go on to kill the sketch artist, Gloria Doran, and almost killed Sally had Walker not intervened.
* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: Despite having killed 23 people this way, Trent was luckier than the Rangers thought. Despite using this method to incapacitate him so he couldn't testify (only to come out of it in time), and later kill Gloria Doran in order to find and kill Sally, Walker isn't very easy to incapacitate this way, taking him out with four, count them, ''four'' roundhouse kicks!
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's safe to assume both he and Foley got either life in prison or the death penalty for their crimes. It's also safe to assume he was extradited back to Chicago for his murder trials after being arrested by Walker.

-------

* BigBad: He serves as the main antagonist of "Legends" along with Michael Viscardi.
* CouldntFindAPen: When Gage and Sydney trail him to Michael's office, he strangles him to death and flees before they arrive. Michael does, however, leave behind his lifeless corpse, and a message written in blood on his desk reading "D.A. Walk...", which indicates his final target is Alex.
* TheDragon: As a hired enforcer for organized crime all across Texas, he is Michael Viscardi's middle man.
* DyingClue: His lifeless corpse is left behind in Michael's office after he is strangled to death. A message written in his blood is left behind on Michael's desk, reading "D.A. Walk...", which means Alex is his final target before he flees the city.
* FauxAffablyEvil
* GottaKillThemAll: He has the job of employing blind hires to perpetrate the hits against the people who convicted Samuel Viscardi, and after their jobs are done, he must then kill the blind hires.
* TrashyTrailerHome: He lives in one deep in the Texas backwoods. Gage and Sydney visit his home when they get a warrant for his arrest after one of the hitmen responsible for the hit against Judge Stiegler identifies him while being interrogated by Trivette, but there's nobody in sight... until he returns home on his motorcycle and sees the two Rangers' unmarked Crown Vic parked outside, upon which he makes a run for it back into the city with Gage and Sydney in hot pursuit... and to Michael's office where he ends up being strangled to death.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He is responsible for the blind hires to take out the people responsible for Sam Viscardi's conviction, and after all the victims are killed, the blind hires are killed afterwards. However, when Gage and Sydney get a warrant for his arrest after Trivette arrests one of the men responsible for the hit against Judge Stiegler, as well as the dispatch manager of the gas plant for refusing to cooperate, ''he'' ends up suffering this at Michael's hands after the two Rangers follow him to Michael's office, having been choked to death.

-> '''Portrayed by''': Creator/RichardNorton\\
'''Appearances''': "[[Recap/WalkerTexasRangerS9E4TheAvengingAngel The Avenging Angel]]"
The CEO of Broadcorp Industries, a ruthless conglomerate buying up many businesses in the Dallas area.
-------
* AndYourLittleDogToo: It's not enough that he is extorting the [=CEOs=] of companies he is acquiring, but also threatening their families. As far as messing with Eddie Ryan and Galactic Wrestling, killing one of his wrestlers (Matt "The Avenging Angel" Escobar, of course) and attempting to murder another (Flash Armstrong) and almost kidnapping his granddaughter, Amy, is certainly crossing the line.
* BigBad: He serves as the main antagonist of "The Avenging Angel".
* CoDragons: Harley Barnes and Jerome Cutter were tasked with doing Scanlon's dirty work, but it is after the Rangers have arrested both of them-- Barnes for cutting Matt's cable (his blood type was A-Negative, at which point the blood sample Walker found on the catwalk the day of the murder matched his) and sending thugs into the gym to beat up Flash (Gage and Sydney arrested the assailants, prompting Harley's arrest), and Cutter for almost kidnapping Amy when she was leaving the hospital after visiting Flash-- the two decide to testify against Scanlon, ultimately putting him away for good.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He is this to the fullest extent, and isn't above killing an innocent person to set an example when people refuse his offers.
* JuryAndWitnessTampering: He has extorted other companies besides Galactic Wrestling, but if one CEO is too scared to testify, Walker and Trivette decide what if they brought them all together and Eddie and Carmen told them their story? This then makes the [=CEOs=] of the companies Scanlon extorted brave enough to testify. Even his own henchmen were too scared to testify, at least until the Rangers take him down for good with the extorted [=CEOs' help.=]
* MegaCorp: He is the CEO of Broadcorp Industries, who's been making hostile takeovers of other businesses across the Dallas area.

'''Appearances''': "[[Recap/WalkerTexasRangerS9E2DeadlySituation Deadly Situation]]"
A lieutenant/detective for the Sage City, Texas, Police Department's Zero-Tolerance Unit, whom the Rangers compete against in a baseball game at the start of the episode, later revealed to be the leading dirty cop behind Chick Winslow's drug trafficking operation, having three of his detectives set up rookie officer and aspiring Texas Ranger Glenn Cooper for the crime after he caught them red-handed.
-------
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: It's better to die than be ''arrested'' since the Rangers found out he was responsible for the theft of the cocaine from the Smokey Cole bust and framing Glenn and Simms after Gage and Sydney arrested Baker, Moody and Rogers before they could find and DestroyTheEvidence Glenn hid at the library. While Gage, Sydney and Trivette arrest Chick Winslow and his gang, Walker and Captain Ryder corner Lt. Shell at his home, but after they open the front door, they find that he hung himself.
* BigBad: He serves as the one of the antagonists of "Deadly Situation" along with Chick Winslow and Baker, Moody and Rogers.
* DestroyTheEvidence: Glenn thought he could trust him with the pictures he took of Baker, Moody and Rogers' involvement in the drug trafficking ring run by Chick Winslow at Henners' Barn after the recent arrest of Smokey Cole, but he would later be proven wrong near the end when he tells the Rangers about the copies of the photos he took and the negatives hidden at a library. Rather than take the original photos Glenn gave him to internal affairs, he likely destroyed them before planting the stolen drugs in his locker, and then sending Baker, Moody and Rogers after Glenn and Simms, where the latter officer is killed by the three and made to look like a suicide, and then tried to kill District Attorney Clark after they chased Glenn to her office. Quickly subverted, however, when Gage and Sydney beat Baker, Moody and Rogers to the evidence Glenn hid at the library and promptly arrest them, and Rogers, from there, promptly confesses Lt. Shell's involvement in the case. Lt. Shell then goes on to commit suicide before he could be arrested by Walker and Captain Ryder while Trivette, Gage and Sydney arrest Chick Winslow.
* DirtyCop: He was the fourth party involved in Chick Winslow's drug trafficking operation, having tipped off Baker, Moody and Rogers to Glenn staking them out Henners' Barn for two days in a row, and would go on to set up Glenn and Simms for his crimes.
* DirtyCoward: After the truth comes out, he'd rather not face accountability for his crimes and decides to kill himself at his home.
* DrivenToSuicide: Lieutenant Shell knows he's been caught after Baker, Moody and Rogers were arrested by Gage and Sydney after Glenn told Walker about the extra photos he hid at a library.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: He tipped off Baker, Moody and Rogers to Glenn finding out about their scheme after he handed him the original copies of the evidence. Baker, Moody and Rogers' only solution to dealing with Glenn and Simms is to silence them.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Had Glenn known in the first place that he was the leading dirty cop involved in Chick Winslow's drug trafficking ring, it would've been a good idea for Glenn to turn in the evidence not to him, but to his nearest Texas Ranger office after he busted Baker, Moody and Rogers at Henners' Barn. To be fair, however, Glenn didn't know about his involvement in Chick's operation until near the climax after the trio is arrested by Gage and Sydney before they got the chance to steal and destroy the extra photos he hid at the library.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Along with Detectives Baker, Moody and Rogers, he seemed to be a dedicated officer cracking down on drug rings, when in actuality, the four were working for a drug dealer, and set up Cooper for their crimes after he staked them out for days. He tipped off the trio after Cooper gave him the original copies.

A neo-Nazi organization, whose leader, Stan Gorman, attempted to get Roscoe Jones to resign as the new pastor and drive him out of town.
-------
* ArchEnemy: Stan Gorman towards Pastor Roscoe Jones. When he and Thunder served as army chaplains at Fort Hood, they knew Gorman during his time there, having once held the rank of a sergeant, but he had a hard time taking orders from a black man, and that black man in question was one of Roscoe's best friends, Gary Crowder, who held the rank of artillery captain. Crowder bumped Gorman down to private and kept him in the stockade for 30 days after he threw a punch. Gorman vowed revenge after the fact, and a week after his dishonorable discharge, he shot Crowder and Roscoe when they went to a late-night movie in San Antonio. Crowder didn't make it, but Roscoe survived and his testimony landed Gorman a life sentence in Huntsville, only for him to be released three months prior to the episode.
* BigBad: This villainous team of bigots serve as the main antagonists of "The Soul of Winter".
* FromCamouflageToCriminal: This trope provides the backstory of how Roscoe and Thunder knew Stan Gorman. Gorman once held the rank of a sergeant during his time at Fort Hood, but had a hard time taking orders from a black man, and that black man in question was one of Roscoe's best friends, Gary Crowder, who held the rank of artillery captain. Crowder bumped Gorman down to private and kept him in the stockade for 30 days after he threw a punch. Gorman vowed revenge after the fact, and a week after his dishonorable discharge, he shot Crowder and Roscoe when they went to a late-night movie in San Antonio. Crowder didn't make it, but Roscoe survived and his testimony landed Gorman a life sentence in Huntsville, only for him to be released three months prior to the episode.
* JustGotOutOfJail: Gorman and Sonny Kline were both released from prison three months prior to the episode, and if Walker, Trivette, Carlos and Trent have any intent on sending Gorman back for good, the only thing they can do is prove that he killed Rodney Summers, when he intended to kill Adam instead.
* MacGuffin: The gun used for Rodney Summers' murder. Armed with a search warrant after Gorman's men tried to kidnap Adam and Tommy, the Rangers couldn't find it at the Sons of the Reich Headquarters, but after the cars belonging to the parishioners of the First Christian Church of Dallas and Pilgrimage Baptist Church were blown up with C-4, this leads Walker to believe Gorman has a huge arsenal somewhere in the Dallas area. Trivette eventually finds out that Sonny Kline was a cellmate of Gorman's at Huntsville and got out the same time he did, and rented a farm 70 miles south of Dallas. The Rangers get the break they need, arrest the thugs in the warehouse and eventually find the gun used for Rodney Summers' murder. Gorman and the others are nowhere present, since they are on their way to FCCD to crash the fundraiser with a wooden cross waiting to be burned that his men created.
* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: The Sons of the Reich and their allies, especially those guarding the barn loaded with their arsenal, are this to a T.
* ThoseWackyNazis: Obviously.

Viscardi who is on a mission of revenge against the people responsible for his father's conviction, a list that eventually includes Alex (who served as the prosecuting attorney at the time of that trial) and Walker (who may or may not have participated in his arrest).
-------
* AvengingTheVillain: The whole plot of the episode has him seeking revenge on the people responsible for his father's imprisonment.
* BigBad: He serves as the main antagonist of "Legends".
* BloodStainedLetter: "D.A. Walk..."
* CouldntFindAPen: When Gage and Sydney trail Dean Scaggs to his office, he strangles him to death and flees before they arrive. He does, however, leave behind Scaggs' lifeless corpse, and a message written in blood on his desk reading "D.A. Walk...", which indicates his final target is Alex before he can flee the city.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Justified. The defense attorney wasn't kidding about the "loving father" comment about Sammy during the trial, and after his conviction, this is what prompts Michael to seek revenge on the people responsible.
* GottaKillThemAll: It's not just the people who convicted his father he's going after, but his blind hires, as well. Eventually, it comes to the point he murders his middle man when he is trailed by Gage and Sydney to his office when they obtain a warrant for his arrest.
* OverlordJr: To a "T" after Alex convicts his father. Who knows if he has children of his own who will succeed him after Walker arrests him for his revenge killings?
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He plans to kill everyone responsible for his father's conviction, including Alex. After he kills Connie Gibson and Judge Stiegler, and then, his middle man after an arrest warrant is issued for him, he is about to kill Alex, but upon trailing her and Walker to his house, much to his surprise, it was Sydney in disguise.
* VillainNoLongerIdle: After Dean Scaggs is trailed by Gage and Sydney to his office after they obtain a warrant for his arrest, it's quite obvious he's out of blind hires, to which he decides to kill Alex himself, though not before he murders Scaggs to keep him from talking mere moments before Gage and Sydney raid his office. He flees before the two Rangers enter the office, to which they find Scaggs' lifeless body and call upon the Crime Scene Unit. He has then followed Walker and Sydney [[BatmanGambit (who was disguised as Alex to fool him) to Walker's house, where he and his two heavies easily have their asses handed to them]].
* VillainousLineage: For the Viscardis, ItRunsInTheFamily. After Sammy is convicted, he becomes the new head of the Viscardi Organization.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's safe to assume he got the same treatment his father did before him after being convicted for his crimes after he and two of his henchmen raid Walker's house so they could kill him and Alex, only for them to find out Sydney was disguised as Alex and acting as a decoy to trick them while the real Alex was kept in hiding, to which Walker and Sydney easily take them down.
* YouAreTooLate: After Michael and Scaggs take out Connie Gibson (the head juror of the trial) and Johnny Zoom (the blind hire asked to perpetrate the aforementioned hit), Judge Abe Stiegler, who presided over the trial, is next on the list. Alex tells Walker and Trivette that she got in touch with everyone involved in the Viscardi trial, and they were provided with protection after the Gibson murder. Judge Stiegler, meanwhile, refused it, saying nobody would go after a federal judge. Walker and Trivette decide to visit Stiegler at the Dallas Law School, but Michael already got there first with his blind hires dousing the office with unodorized propane, which then blows it to smithereens.
-->'''Trivette:''' Go after a federal judge, you'll go after anybody.\\
'''Walker:''' I know.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: It's one thing to have Dean Scaggs kill his blind hires after each hit is perpetrated. Near the end, he kills Scaggs when he is followed by Gage and Sydney to his office after they get a warrant for his arrest after Trivette arrests one of the men responsible for the hit against Judge Stiegler, as well as the dispatch manager at the gas plant for refusing to cooperate.

As a result of the convictions, he secretly gets the message across to his son that he avenge him.
-------
* AvengingTheVillain: If many aren't familiar with their fair share of gangster stories, especially if they are the main focus of episodes in {{Police Procedural}}s, mob bosses are likely to have children who are to succeed their loved one after they are either dead or imprisoned, and that's the case with his son, Michael. After his imprisonment, Michael becomes the new head of his organization, and he starts his reign by seeking revenge against the people responsible for his imprisonment, with Alex, who prosecuted him, at the end of his list.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Justified. The defense attorney wasn't kidding about the "loving father" comment about Sammy during the trial, and after his conviction, this is what prompts Michael to seek revenge on the people responsible.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Michael becomes the new head of his organization after he is convicted.
* SecretMessageWink: Averted. Shortly after he is convicted for his crimes and led out of the courtroom in handcuffs to await sentencing the next day, he secretly nods to Michael. Walker sees this when he visits the courthouse to congratulate Alex on the convictions, but he doesn't know what this means, until he and Trivette are the first Rangers on the scene when the head juror, Connie Gibson, turns up dead. Walker then concludes that the message Sammy got across to his son was that he avenge him.

Gage had already freed Sydney after Walker beats down Grangus, but the Rangers weren't about to let him die in the blast.
* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: Gage and Sydney have to commit a big-time crime to pass their initiation into the Raptors so they can gain access to their meth lab.

After he stabs him, the Rangers and Carlos set out to capture him to add a charge of witness tampering to Foley's growing rap sheet. Sally, a Special Olympian with Downs Syndrome whom Trent was escorting to running practice, was the only witness to the crime, and Foley was surprised to learn how instrumental Sally was in easily identifying him as Trent's attacker, to which he later kills the sketch artist, Gloria Doran, and then tries to kill Sally herself.
-------
* BigBad: The main antagonist of "Special Witness" [[BigBadEnsemble along with Morris Foley]].
* JuryAndWitnessTampering: A common thing for mob bosses to try to avoid prison time. Morris Foley hires him to kill or hospitalize Trent so he doesn't testify against him, and since he's Alex's only witness, without his testimony, she has no case to build against him. Before he could get the chance to kill Sally, he is arrested by Walker and Trent pulls through in time for the trial.
* LeaveNoWitnesses: When he stabs Trent, the only witness to that crime was a Special Olympian named Sally, whom he was escorting to running practice, and he would then go on to kill the sketch artist, Gloria Doran, and almost killed Sally had Walker not intervened.
* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: Despite having killed 23 people this way, Trent was luckier than the Rangers thought. Despite using this method to incapacitate him so he couldn't testify (only to come out of it in time), and later kill Gloria Doran in order to find and kill Sally, Walker isn't very easy to incapacitate this way, taking him out with four, count them, ''four'' roundhouse kicks!

'''Appearances''': "[[Recap/WalkerTexasRangerS9E4TheAvengingAngel The Avenging Angel]]"
The CEO of Broadcorp Industries, a ruthless conglomerate buying up many businesses in the Dallas area.
-------
* AndYourLittleDogToo: It's not enough that he is extorting the [=CEOs=] of companies he is acquiring, but also threatening their families. As far as messing with Eddie Ryan and Galactic Wrestling, killing one of his wrestlers (Matt "The Avenging Angel" Escobar, of course) and attempting to murder another (Flash Armstrong) and almost kidnapping his granddaughter, Amy, is certainly crossing the line.
* BigBad: He serves as the main antagonist of "The Avenging Angel".
* CoDragons: Harley Barnes and Jerome Cutter were tasked with doing Scanlon's dirty work, but it is after the Rangers have arrested both of them-- Barnes for cutting Matt's cable (his blood type was A-Negative, at which point the blood sample Walker found on the catwalk the day of the murder matched his) and sending thugs into the gym to beat up Flash (Gage and Sydney arrested the assailants, prompting Harley's arrest), and Cutter for almost kidnapping Amy when she was leaving the hospital after visiting Flash-- the two decide to testify against Scanlon, ultimately putting him away for good.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He is this to the fullest extent, and isn't above killing an innocent person to set an example when people refuse his offers.
* JuryAndWitnessTampering: He has extorted other companies besides Galactic Wrestling, but if one CEO is too scared to testify, Walker and Trivette decide what if they brought them all together and Eddie and Carmen told them their story? This then makes the [=CEOs=] of the companies Scanlon extorted brave enough to testify. Even his own henchmen were too scared to testify, at least until the Rangers take him down for good with the extorted [=CEOs' help.=]
* MegaCorp: He is the CEO of Broadcorp Industries, who's been making hostile takeovers of other businesses across the Dallas area.

[[folder: Lieutenant Shell]]
!!Lieutenant Shell
-> '''Portrayed by''': Creator/WrenTBrown\\
'''Appearances''': "[[Recap/WalkerTexasRangerS9E2DeadlySituation Deadly Situation]]"
A lieutenant/detective for the Sage City, Texas, Police Department's Zero-Tolerance Unit, whom the Rangers compete against in a baseball game at the start of the episode, later revealed to be the leading dirty cop behind Chick Winslow's drug trafficking operation, having three of his detectives set up rookie officer and aspiring Texas Ranger Glenn Cooper for the crime after he caught them red-handed.
-------
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: It's better to die than be ''arrested'' since the Rangers found out he was responsible for the theft of the cocaine from the Smokey Cole bust and framing Glenn and Simms after Gage and Sydney arrested Baker, Moody and Rogers before they could find and DestroyTheEvidence Glenn hid at the library. While Gage, Sydney and Trivette arrest Chick Winslow and his gang, Walker and Captain Ryder corner Lt. Shell at his home, but after they open the front door, they find that he hung himself.
* BigBad: He serves as the one of the antagonists of "Deadly Situation" along with Chick Winslow and Baker, Moody and Rogers.
* DestroyTheEvidence: Glenn thought he could trust him with the pictures he took of Baker, Moody and Rogers' involvement in the drug trafficking ring run by Chick Winslow at Henners' Barn after the recent arrest of Smokey Cole, but he would later be proven wrong near the end when he tells the Rangers about the copies of the photos he took and the negatives hidden at a library. Rather than take the original photos Glenn gave him to internal affairs, he likely destroyed them before planting the stolen drugs in his locker, and then sending Baker, Moody and Rogers after Glenn and Simms, where the latter officer is killed by the three and made to look like a suicide, and then tried to kill District Attorney Clark after they chased Glenn to her office. Quickly subverted, however, when Gage and Sydney beat Baker, Moody and Rogers to the evidence Glenn hid at the library and promptly arrest them, and Rogers, from there, promptly confesses Lt. Shell's involvement in the case. Lt. Shell then goes on to commit suicide before he could be arrested by Walker and Captain Ryder while Trivette, Gage and Sydney arrest Chick Winslow.
* DirtyCop: He was the fourth party involved in Chick Winslow's drug trafficking operation, having tipped off Baker, Moody and Rogers to Glenn staking them out Henners' Barn for two days in a row, and would go on to set up Glenn and Simms for his crimes.
* DirtyCoward: After the truth comes out, he'd rather not face accountability for his crimes and decides to kill himself at his home.
* DrivenToSuicide: Lieutenant Shell knows he's been caught after Baker, Moody and Rogers were arrested by Gage and Sydney after Glenn told Walker about the extra photos he hid at a library. While Trivette, Gage and Sydney arrest Chick Winslow, Walker and Captain Ryder corner him at his home, where they find he hung himself.
-->'''Captain Ryder:''' Somebody get up here and cut this man down!
* HeKnowsTooMuch: He tipped off Baker, Moody and Rogers to Glenn finding out about their scheme after he handed him the original copies of the evidence. Baker, Moody and Rogers' only solution to dealing with Glenn and Simms is to silence them.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Had Glenn known in the first place that he was the leading dirty cop involved in Chick Winslow's drug trafficking ring, it would've been a good idea for Glenn to turn in the evidence not to him, but to his nearest Texas Ranger office after he busted Baker, Moody and Rogers at Henners' Barn. To be fair, however, Glenn didn't know about his involvement in Chick's operation until near the climax after the trio is arrested by Gage and Sydney before they got the chance to steal and destroy the extra photos he hid at the library.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Along with Detectives Baker, Moody and Rogers, he seemed to be a dedicated officer cracking down on drug rings, when in actuality, the four were working for a drug dealer, and set up Cooper for their crimes after he staked them out for days. He tipped off the trio after Cooper gave him the original copies.

A neo-Nazi organization, whose leader, Stan Gorman, attempted to get Roscoe Jones to resign as the new pastor and drive him out of town.
-------
* ArchEnemy: Stan Gorman towards Pastor Roscoe Jones. When he and Thunder served as army chaplains at Fort Hood, they knew Gorman during his time there, having once held the rank of a sergeant, but he had a hard time taking orders from a black man, and that black man in question was one of Roscoe's best friends, Gary Crowder, who held the rank of artillery captain. Crowder bumped Gorman down to private and kept him in the stockade for 30 days after he threw a punch. Gorman vowed revenge after the fact, and a week after his dishonorable discharge, he shot Crowder and Roscoe when they went to a late-night movie in San Antonio. Crowder didn't make it, but Roscoe survived and his testimony landed Gorman a life sentence in Huntsville, only for him to be released three months prior to the episode.
* BigBad: This villainous team of bigots serve as the main antagonists of "The Soul of Winter".
* FromCamouflageToCriminal: This trope provides the backstory of how Roscoe and Thunder knew Stan Gorman. Gorman once held the rank of a sergeant during his time at Fort Hood, but had a hard time taking orders from a black man, and that black man in question was one of Roscoe's best friends, Gary Crowder, who held the rank of artillery captain. Crowder bumped Gorman down to private and kept him in the stockade for 30 days after he threw a punch. Gorman vowed revenge after the fact, and a week after his dishonorable discharge, he shot Crowder and Roscoe when they went to a late-night movie in San Antonio. Crowder didn't make it, but Roscoe survived and his testimony landed Gorman a life sentence in Huntsville, only for him to be released three months prior to the episode.
* JustGotOutOfJail: Gorman and Sonny Kline were both released from prison three months prior to the episode, and if Walker, Trivette, Carlos and Trent have any intent on sending Gorman back for good, the only thing they can do is prove that he killed Rodney Summers, when he intended to kill Adam instead.
* MacGuffin: The gun used for Rodney Summers' murder. Armed with a search warrant after Gorman's men tried to kidnap Adam and Tommy, the Rangers couldn't find it at the Sons of the Reich Headquarters, but after the cars belonging to the parishioners of the First Christian Church of Dallas and Pilgrimage Baptist Church were blown up with C-4, this leads Walker to believe Gorman has a huge arsenal somewhere in the Dallas area. Trivette eventually finds out that Sonny Kline was a cellmate of Gorman's at Huntsville and got out the same time he did, and rented a farm 70 miles south of Dallas. The Rangers get the break they need, arrest the thugs in the warehouse and eventually find the gun used for Rodney Summers' murder. Gorman and the others are nowhere present, since they are on their way to FCCD to crash the fundraiser with a wooden cross waiting to be burned that his men created.
* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: The Sons of the Reich and their allies, especially those guarding the barn loaded with their arsenal, are this to a T.
* ThoseWackyNazis: Obviously.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We can only assume Stan Gorman and all the rest of the members of SOR are serving life in prison or were sentenced to death for the murder of Rodney Summers and almost kidnapping Adam and Tommy.

* LoanShark: While awaiting the Burner Boys' arrival at their apartment, the first people he ends up dealing with are Gage and Sydney, and he and Sydney have a long history. Before she became a Ranger, Sydney busted him for this crime three years prior, but it's quite obvious he hasn't learned his lesson. When Sydney and Gage look for the Burner Brothers and Randy at Toby's apartment, they find Lester and his heavy, Boyd, waiting for them (the brothers and Randy), as they owe him a vast sum of money he lent them. It is during Sydney and Gage's visit, Squigman and Boyd are beaten down hard, and then arrested by the two Rangers. Lester cooperates and tells them about their barnyard hideout. As Sydney and Gage try to find information of the Burner Brothers' location, Walker and Trivette try to find what they can get from Rachel.

The son of noted Dallas mobster Samuel E. Viscardi who is on a mission of revenge against the people responsible for his father's conviction, a list that eventually includes Alex (who served as the prosecuting attorney at the time of that trial) and Walker (who may or may not have participated in his arrest).
-------
* AvengingTheVillain: The whole plot of the episode has him seeking revenge on the people responsible for his father's imprisonment.
* BigBad: He serves as the main antagonist of "Legends".
* BloodStainedLetter: "D.A. Walk..."
* CouldntFindAPen: When Gage and Sydney trail Dean Scaggs to his office, he strangles him to death and flees before they arrive. He does, however, leave behind Scaggs' lifeless corpse, and a message written in blood on his desk reading "D.A. Walk...", which indicates his final target is Alex before he can flee the city.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Justified. The defense attorney wasn't kidding about the "loving father" comment about Sammy during the trial, and after his conviction, this is what prompts Michael to seek revenge on the people responsible.
* GottaKillThemAll: It's not just the people who convicted his father he's going after, but his blind hires, as well. Eventually, it comes to the point he murders his middle man when he is trailed by Gage and Sydney to his office when they obtain a warrant for his arrest.
* OverlordJr: To a "T" after Alex convicts his father. Who knows if he has children of his own who will succeed him after Walker arrests him for his revenge killings?
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He plans to kill everyone responsible for his father's conviction, including Alex. After he kills Connie Gibson and Judge Stiegler, and then, his middle man after an arrest warrant is issued for him, he is about to kill Alex, but upon trailing her and Walker to his house, much to his surprise, it was Sydney in disguise.
* VillainNoLongerIdle: After Dean Scaggs is trailed by Gage and Sydney to his office after they obtain a warrant for his arrest, it's quite obvious he's out of blind hires, to which he decides to kill Alex himself, though not before he murders Scaggs to keep him from talking mere moments before Gage and Sydney raid his office. He flees before the two Rangers enter the office, to which they find Scaggs' lifeless body and call upon the Crime Scene Unit. He has then followed Walker and Sydney [[BatmanGambit (who was disguised as Alex to fool him) to Walker's house, where he and his two heavies easily have their asses handed to them]].
* VillainousLineage: For the Viscardis, ItRunsInTheFamily. After Sammy is convicted, he becomes the new head of the Viscardi Organization.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's safe to assume he got the same treatment his father did before him after being convicted for his crimes after he and two of his henchmen raid Walker's house so they could kill him and Alex, only for them to find out Sydney was disguised as Alex and acting as a decoy to trick them while the real Alex was kept in hiding, to which Walker and Sydney easily take them down.
* YouAreTooLate: After Michael and Scaggs take out Connie Gibson (the head juror of the trial) and Johnny Zoom (the blind hire asked to perpetrate the aforementioned hit), Judge Abe Stiegler, who presided over the trial, is next on the list. Alex tells Walker and Trivette that she got in touch with everyone involved in the Viscardi trial, and they were provided with protection after the Gibson murder. Judge Stiegler, meanwhile, refused it, saying nobody would go after a federal judge. Walker and Trivette decide to visit Stiegler at the Dallas Law School, but Michael already got there first with his blind hires dousing the office with unodorized propane, which then blows it to smithereens.
-->'''Trivette:''' Go after a federal judge, you'll go after anybody.\\
'''Walker:''' I know.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: It's one thing to have Dean Scaggs kill his blind hires after each hit is perpetrated. Near the end, he kills Scaggs when he is followed by Gage and Sydney to his office after they get a warrant for his arrest after Trivette arrests one of the men responsible for the hit against Judge Stiegler, as well as the dispatch manager at the gas plant for refusing to cooperate.

As a result of the convictions, he secretly gets the message across to his son that he avenge him.
-------
* AvengingTheVillain: If many aren't familiar with their fair share of gangster stories, especially if they are the main focus of episodes in {{Police Procedural}}s, mob bosses are likely to have children who are to succeed their loved one after they are either dead or imprisoned, and that's the case with his son, Michael. After his imprisonment, Michael becomes the new head of his organization, and he starts his reign by seeking revenge against the people responsible for his imprisonment, with Alex, who prosecuted him, at the end of his list.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Justified. The defense attorney wasn't kidding about the "loving father" comment about Sammy during the trial, and after his conviction, this is what prompts Michael to seek revenge on the people responsible.

Walker sees this when he visits the courthouse to congratulate Alex on the convictions, but he doesn't know what this means, until he and Trivette are the first Rangers on the scene when the head juror, Connie Gibson, turns up dead.
