| “ | I don't wanna die. | ” |
Fangs Fogarty was initially a recurring character on The CW's Riverdale. He has since been promoted to series regular for the fifth season onward.[1] He is portrayed by Drew Ray Tanner.
He was a student at Southside High until it was shut down by Mayor McCoy, deeming Southside High as a public health hazard, claiming toxic fumes were coming from the "methamphetamine lab" in the basement. Fangs, along with his close friends, Toni Topaz, Jughead Jones, and Sweet Pea, transferred to Riverdale High. He is also a member of the Southside Serpents.
During his first interaction with Kevin Keller in the student lounge of Riverdale High, Fangs revealed that he and Joaquin DeSantos were good friends, before he left town. While Joaquin was taking up residence in Riverdale, he used to talk about Kevin with Fangs.
After his hook-up with Midge Klump was exposed to the town following her murder, many of the Northsiders were quick to place blame on Fangs, deciding then and there that he was her killer. It was because of these unsubstantiated accusations that Fangs was shot by Midge's mother as he exited the Sheriff Station. FP Jones would later share news of Fangs' "death" to the Serpents, only for it to be revealed as a hoax, set in play by Hiram Lodge in order to goad the Serpents into a fight with the Ghoulies that they could not win.
Early Life
It appears that Fangs is a recently new member of the Southside Serpents, as Sweet Pea informed Jughead that Fogarty wanted to earn his Serpents stripes. Suggesting that Fogarty bring them the head of the "Northsider", Archie, in order for him to be in the gang. Which Fangs was more than happy to oblige upon his request. Like all other Serpents, Fangs had to complete the Serpents Initiation in order to join the Southside Serpents.
Throughout Riverdale
Physical Appearance
Fangs appears to have short jet black hair, faded on the sides with the top of his hair longer, styled neatly and combed well. He also has dark brown eyes and wears a number of pieces of jewelry, rings both hands, and wears a dog tag around his neck. He has a tattoo with the gang's symbol of a double-headed serpent tattooed on the right-hand side of his arm above his shoulder.
Personality
Fangs initially appeared to be a very cool and calm Serpent unlike the rest of them. However, upon confrontation, he is easily frightened, as he did not hesitate to run for his life when Archie pulled out a gun on Sweet Pea.
Relationships

Fogarty and Sweet Pea
Both in and out of school, Fangs and Sweet Pea, who are often seen together, appear to be close friends, though it remains unclear how long the two have known each other or whether or not this friendship extends beyond the Serpents. Due to their mutual ties to this Southside gang, Fangs and Sweet Pea are expected to be willing to die for each other, as the gang presents a fairly strong bond of loyalty and family. Fangs and Sweet Pea are similar in many ways, including their equally reckless and impulsive behavior, take their willingness to blow up the Register following Alice Cooper's article on the rumble with the Riverdale Bulldogs, which depicted them as town menaces for example.
