The characters of Oz, fictional characters on the television series about prison life, are a diverse mixture of inmates from various gangs and prison staff.

The Aryans are the White Supremacist gang within Oz. Unlike the rest, they described themselves Anti-drug based on their Militant beliefs related to physicality. They generally bullied other Inmates based on either Race/ethnicity, Sexuality, Religion, or over-all Weakness. They also enjoyed keeping other inmates as Sex Slaves or what they like to call as "Bitches" or "Prags". They had a few conflicts with the Homeboys, but their main rivals are the other African-American gang the "Muslims", especially the strong rivalry between Aryan leader Schillinger and Muslim leader Saïd. They are the only to ever be wiped out (With the exception of James Robson, as he abandons their roots) by the series' finale.

The Bikers are the only allies of the Aryans, and shared some common roots such as sharing some of their racist views, both working in the prison's Mail-room, and even bullies other inmates. Although the minor differences is that they might not be Anti-drug as one of their former members, Scott Ross, was convicted of selling Marijuana, and it not a possibility that the Aryans would do the same, they even had Heroin in their possession when they killed inmate Ralph Galino by injecting him with it to death, but other than that, no further explanation of possible drug addictions. Unlike the Aryans and much like the other gangs, they survived the Anthrax affection within the prison.

The Christians are the second religious gang in Oz other-than the Muslims, but unlike them, they're hardly aggressive. They didn't get much importance in the series until the second half of Season 4, when famous Preacher Jeremiah Cloutier arrives as an newly inmate and took everything into a new level about the gang by not letting only members of the gang but every protestant inmate to attend a Sunday service that he helps set-up. During this period, Irish-catholic inmate, Timmy Kirk, have reconsidered his beliefs and was baptized into Cloutier's congregation, and it was at this point that the prison's Catholic priest Mukada felt jealous due to losing someone who is not only a member of his congregation but he helps counsel and started a loose friendship with Cloutier, but soon changes his original thoughts of him as it progress, but unknown to Cloutier however, Kirk actually have plans in mind that both him and former Biker-turned-Christian Jim Burns to forced certain Catholic inmates to convert and if refuses they will harmed them. Soon Cloutier finally taken a Aware of this and decide to cast-out Kirk. Enraged, Kirk decide to paid the Bikers to help him trapped inside a newly built wall in the prison's cafeteria, where the religious services are presented. A year later Cloutier was found alive after an explosion occurred and upon learning this, Kirk who now a Preacher himself, decide to have him get killed. Mukada now different about Cloutier and figuring out Kirk is responsible for his Accident, he develop a rivalry with him and swear he'll find a way to make him pay for him. Eventually after Biker leader, Jaz Hoyt, who was slowly developing Schizophrenia and was told by a possible hallucination of Cloutier to murdered Kirk, nearly kills him, Cloutier's body strangely disappears. Without any whereabouts of Cloutier, Kirk decide to have Mukada killed instead by having outside Contacts to set fire to his residence which is a church. Eventually Kirk was finally accused of everything after being betrayed by the Bikers and was given a death Sentence. Kirk would died before Execution when Hoyt who is also on Death Row for confessing all of his past murders, have kills him, in which is where his Hallucinations gotten worse. During this period, Hoyt reveals what happened to Cloutier as he was sealed inside another wall by the Bikers and was finally deceased.
