Biography[]
Bottles began Prospecting for the Mayans Santo Padre Charter sometime in 2023. He is a young man who sometimes seems quite lost in life. Bottles cares deeply for his brothers, despite the constant hazing he receives as a Prospect. Bottles is quite ballsy for a Prospect, often poking fun and disagreeing with other club members.
Bottles stays true to himself however, and is shown to be a relatively naïve when it comes to the dangerous world around him that he has willingly entered in to. Not fitting the typical look for an outlaw biker with his thick framed glasses, physical disability and dyed ginger streaks in his hair. Bottles outlaw road quickly becomes shrouded in darkness, as he is tasked with performing more and more harrowing tasks for the Mayans.
Season 5[]
"I Hear the Train A-Comin"[]
Bottles is the new Prospect for Santo Padre, he seems to be very proud of his club, despite not yet being a full patch, he stands guard outside the gate of the clubhouse and opens the door when El Secretario Angel Reyes rides in. Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes, Presidente of Santo Padre, watches on.
Back at the clubhouse, the club unload their stash of stolen guns, which the Mayans have just robbed the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club for. Guero and Downer bicker as Gilberto "Gilly" Lopez and Angel watch on laughing. Downer orders Bottles to get him a beer, but Guero threatens Bottles and says that Downer can get his own beer, and if he relents he will "smash" him. Bottles feebly tells Gilly that he doesn't know what do do and Gilly asks Bottles who he is more afraid of; to which Bottles replies by helping Nestor Oceteva, the other Prospect with another crate.
The club head to the meeting with Soledad, leader of the Lobos New Generation Cartel and Miguel Galindo, her associate, and former leader of the Galindo Cartel, in an attempt at peace after the entire heroin stash which was originally part of a partnership between Santo Padre and the cartel, was burned by an unknown assailant. Soledad is incredibly unimpressed by EZ's attempt at reconciliation, seeing as her men are already armed to the teeth with the latest military grade weaponry. Soledad leaves and EZ addresses Miguel, who is furious that the club has embarrassed him after he told Soledad to hear them out. EZ demands to know who the cartel's new heroin supplier is but Miguel refuses to tell him.
Santo Padre hit the road, and head down to the Salton Sea, after getting a tip off about a club called the Broken Saints Motorcycle Club, that are supposedly the cartel's heroin source. They break in to some farmland which is supposedly where the Saints are holed up, they trek down the path when they are greeted by some seemingly friendly dogs, Downer, not being much of a dog lover moves ahead of the group, but steps inside of a trap that snares his leg before a woman dives from the bushes and holds him at knifepoint. Before the club have any time to draw weapons of their own, they are surrounded by heavily armed women, the club have found the Saints.
EZ addresses the crew, he apologises for trespassing and one of the women asks if they are with the Iron War Motorcycle Club. Obispo "Bishop" Losa, the Vice Presidente is familiar with them and laughs at the question, noting that their club is made entirely of law enforcement officers. The President of the club, a fearsome lady, says that the Sons and the Mayans are just corporate shills. EZ is able to talk the Saints down, and stop Downer getting his tongue cut out.
"Lord Help My Poor Soul"[]
The club head out to the prison to try and meet with Iron War. Neron "Creeper" Vargas, an imprisoned member of Santo Padre was shivved under their guard. They meet their President, McKenzie and Stone, the Vice President. EZ tells the President that they allowed Creeper to get attacked. Hank points out that Stone, was an officer during the visitation yesterday. Stone has large gashes across his face, which EZ remembers is what the Broken Saints President told him that her club did to an Iron War member who tried to collect taxes from them. The situation gets tense as more Iron War members arrive, outnumbering the Mayans. EZ threatens the President again, after the man states that Alvarez was a much better leader for the Mayans.
The club are successful in capturing Stone for information about the cartel's heroin source. EZ beats Stone within an inch of his life and Bishop yells that he is going to kill him, the two begin to fight and are eventually dragged apart by everyone else. EZ stares around the circle of his brothers, looking them all in the eye before walking away. Bishop tells them to dump Stone at the side of the road somewhere.
"Do You Hear the Rain"[]
The following morning after the club raided a drug house, EZ, Downer, Angel, Guero and Bottles come to see the cook who the club have captured and bought back. Bottles brings him some food and EZ quickly interrogates him, informing the man, who's name is Elio, that he will not be killed as long as he cooks for the club. Elio proclaims that he isn't the cook, Ramon is. Although Ramon was killed during the raid. EZ locates a picture of Elio's family and asks about it, Elio tries to grab it but Guero kicks him in the chest, prompting Bottles to try and intervene, claiming he is just scared. Guero lashes out, forcing Bottles back, demanding to know what he just said to him as he reminds him that he is a prospect; Bottles relents. EZ simply tells Elio, he can cook for the club and then go home to his family, rich. Elio remains silent, prompting Downer to pull out a gun, which causes Elio to quickly agree to help. EZ ushers Bottles forward, telling Elio that Bottles will do whatever he needs him to do in order to help him cook. He hisses in to Bottles ear to never talk out of turn again to a patch.
Before beginning his cooking session, Elio meditates (much to Bottles' confusion), he then heads inside and gears up to cook. He only speaks Spanish and Bottles, English, he orders Bottles to close the door of garage. Bottles suits up also and the pair begin to cook. As they do so, Bottles accidentally drops a tub full of the mix on the floor, he goes to try and clean it u but Elio grabs his hand before dumping more chemicals over the top of the spillage. He tells Bottles that if he touches it, he dies. Bottles jokingly remarks that he doesn't need to translate that. Bottles and Elio cook late in to the night.
Bottles dashes in to the clubhouse and turns the music off, Downer yells at him but he says that he has something he needs to show them. He invites Elio in who produces a package and places it on the table, Bottles says that it is work $100k and the pair can make more with the supplies they bought form Mexico. Everyone is shocked and impressed, EZ agrees.
"I See the Black Light"[]
Elio continues to do do his yoga before cooking, Bottles has opted to join him this time, the pair seem to be getting along well, despite the language barrier. The pair then continue to cook, having gathered more supplies.
They head outside to take a break and find Lobo, another Mayan outside. Bottles explains that the pair are just taking a break and asks Lobo to watch the shed to make sure nobody goes in. This enrages Lobo and he throws Bottles on the floor, he insinuates that he won't be told what to do by a Prospect. Bottles quickly tries to explain that he is just following EZ's orders, he said that the pair can take breaks often whilst they cook. Lobo eventually relents.
Elio can't help but notice the path out of the compound and tells Bottles that they should run now and they won't be prisoners anymore. Bottles explains to Elio that he isn't a prisoner. He tells him that he knows what he's just seen looks bad but that's part of being in the family. Elio says that he doesn't think it looks much like a family. Bottles goes on to explain that he didn't have many friends growing up due to a lot of surgeries he needed, so he isn't going to let Lobo get to him; besides, once he becomes a full member of the club, he is going to knock Lobo out. Elio kindly tells Bottles that he is his "amigo" to which Bottles happily agrees.
After their break, they head back inside the compound but are horrified to see Lobo writhing on the floor outside the shed. Elio rushes to his aid whilst Bottles looks for help. He bangs on EZ's trailer door but he isn't in. Sofía, EZ's girlfriend arrives and Bottles begs her for help. Sofía follows him and finds Lobo, another Mayan convulsing, Elio explains that he has overdosed on fentanyl. Sofía reminds Bottles that she is a vet and doesn't know what to do. Elio frantically passes Sofía some gloves telling her that she can't touch the substance. Sofía flips Lobo over to stop him from choking to death and sends Bottles to get some rags.
Bottles returns with the rest of the club in tow, Sofía desperately attempts CPR, she asks how close the ambulance is, but it seems obvious to everyone except for her that it isn't coming. Sofía pleads with EZ to do something but everyone just watches on as Lobo passes away.
Everyone is shocked as EZ demands to know what happened. Bottles explains that he doesn't know, Lobo must have touched something despite the sign saying it was dangerous. Another fight breaks out as EZ tries to reason with his brothers saying that they're all dead unless they keep cooking fentanyl. Bishop jumps in and says they have to get the lab out of the compound. EZ says nothing and instead gets on his bike and rides away.
Bottles is on patrol duty, a man arrives at the compound looking for Sofía. Bottles aims a gun at the man and orders him on the floor, he explains that he is just looking for Sofía and she eventually emerges from EZ's trailer and agrees to hear the man out. Bottles backs up but keeps a close eye on the pair, sensing that Sofía is becoming uncomfortable he accosts the man and demands he leave.
"I Want Nothing but Death"[]
Bottles is on guard outside the clubhouse when suddenly a bunch of motorcycles arrive, clad all in leather and clearly another club. Bottles raises his gun and orders the men to raise their hands, backing up and banging on the gate as he does so. The men are unfazed by the weapons as Guero and Nestor arrive also with their guns drawn. EZ then arrives and tells the President that he didn't realise that SAMCRO's puppet strings were so long, the President replies and states that they are nobody's puppet, and are just here out of respect.
The Mayans head out to meet the Bastards and the Sons for peace talks. The Bastards are running security and take everyone's guns away as they enter the warehouse. EZ speaks briefly with Lucky, who reminds him no violence and to make sure things go smooth.
The club head inside to find Isaac, the SAMDINO President and the man responsible for so many deaths of their brothers. He is seated in a chair with an army of Sons behind him. The two clubs square off as Isaac introduces himself to EZ, he rants for a short while before Lucky cuts in as Isaac starts to insult him. He thanks everyone for attending the talks and assures that no violence will be had. EZ quickly states his terms, the Sons will surrender, the Mayans will continue to wear the California rocker, and SAMDINO will be shut down.
Isaac interrupts to ask where Coco is, Bishop states that he was killed in the Oakland clubhouse raid about six months ago. Isaac turns to speak to his Vice President, who is standing behind him. He asks him if he was responsible for killing Coco, he is met with silence. Isaac addresses EZ again, explaining that he didn't know his club had killed Coco. EZ repeats the terms he laid out earlier, as Isaac laments that it's all for nothing if Coco isn't here anymore. EZ repeats himself again as Isaac stands up and throws his chair, stating that EZ is boring him. He steps forward to EZ and points out a scar on his neck, pointing out that Coco gave it to him and now he isn't able to return the favour. EZ repeats himself again, as Isaac asks EZ, "What am I crashing towards?" Otero, the Yuma Presidente speaks up, telling Isaac that he is a psycho and the two clubs approach each other as tensions begin to rise, the Bastards jump in and separate them again as Lucky fires a round in to the air, demanding everyone stand down and reminding them of the agreement.
Isaac stares EZ in the eyes as he tells him he takes back his agreement, and he isn't leaving until somebody dies. He continues, stating that he wants to remember Coco properly before asking who wants to fight. Gilly tries to step forward, "I got this", he states as Otero holds him back and he steps forward instead, "For Manny. What's up?". Manny was the Vice Presidente of Yuma, he had been burned alive by Isaac a few days after Coco's death. Isaac chuckles as he tells Otero that he didn't really think that he was going to fight. Otero calls Isaac a "fucking pussy" as he pushes him back behind him with the rest of the club. Isaac says that he and EZ are going to appoint someone to fight until only one is still standing.
Isaac heads back to his club and picks out the biggest man he can find, a humungous man named Travis. Lucky speaks up again, telling everyone to leave as there will be no violence, he is ignored however. EZ turns to his club and reminds them that he said he will bleed for them, before removing his kutte and passing it to Angel who tries to stop EZ from fighting.
EZ steps forward and strikes Travis across the face, Travis is unmoved and just laughs. "Fuck", EZ exhales as Travis effortlessly picks him up and body slams him. The room is filled with roars from both clubs as their champion fights on. EZ quickly recovers and the two men continue to exchange blows, EZ is knocked to the floor again and begins to spit out blood as Travis kicks him when he's down before mounting him and beginning to punch him across the face, over and over. EZ jams his finger in to Travis' eye, allowing him to cripple the giant and instead mount him, he begins to land blow after blow on the badly wounded Travis before he begins to smash his head repeatedly in to the concrete floor until Travis is dead.
A breathless EZ struggles to his feet before spitting on Travis' body, lamenting to Isaac, "There's your blood, motherfucker". He repeats his terms again. Isaac states "It is you..." continuing his previous statement from earlier when he asked "What am I crashing towards?". The Sons are silent as they slowly filter out of the warehouse.
The club return to the Santo Padre clubhouse to celebrate their small victory. EZ eventually staggers in to the clubhouse. Otero speaks up and announces "Now this is a fucking Mayan!". The club begin to pound their fists on the tales as they chant EZ's name.
"My Eyes Filled and Then Closed on the Last of Childhood Tears"[]
Sofía exits EZ's trailer and sees Bottles on guard by the gate, she thrusts Sally's lead in to his hands and says she needs him to watch her. Bottles attempts to protest that he isn't really good with dogs but Sofía is already leaving.
Sofía returns to the clubhouse. She sits with Bottles and tells him "She's gone, and nothing will ever bring her back. She is dead, and so am I." A confused Bottles listens but says nothing.
"To Fear of Death, I Eat the Stars"[]
EZ, Hank, Guero, Gilly and Bottles meet with Cole. He is very impressed with the level of drugs the Mayans have been producing and he tells them he wants them to meet someone. EZ, Hank and Gilly follow him through the warehouse whilst Bottles and Guero wait behind.
The club head to the Saints' land to deliver more materials for cooking. Elio exits the warehouse and calls out "amigo!" to Bottles, the pair hug as Guero yells at Bottles to get back to work. As the pair unload the van, the Saints tell them that they will see them next week for the regular drop off. Guero and Bottles head back to the van. They bicker about which one of them one of the Saints said she will see Friday night.
The club are celebrating the new partnership with Gretton, a drug smuggler which will allow the Mayans to control the Californian prisons. Drinks are flowing and a good time is being had. Suddenly the clubhouse doors flies open and Diaz, Oakland Presidente enters with his Vice Presidente, Jinx in tow. "What the fuck did you motherfuckers do?!" he screams as the room falls silent. EZ approaches him and he begins to yell at him, screaming that they had a deal. EZ tells him that he had a deal, with Mayan enemies. Hank steps between the pair as Diaz becomes aggressive and asks what is going on. Diaz remarks that EZ hasn't told the club anything as he announces that EZ killed a member of SAMCRO. The room is stunned in to silence as EZ ushers Diaz and Jinx in to Templo. EZ passes by a drunk Bishop and invites him to join, but he refuses.
The four exit Templo and EZ invites Oakland to stay for a drink, Diaz refuses, stating he needs to see Marcus Alvarez. EZ and Diaz hug as Diaz notes, "We'll see about that future". Diaz turns to leave when Guero runs up on him and shoots him in the back of the head. "That's for my father, motherfucker!" He cries out with tears in his eyes. Jinx is paralysed with shock as Bishop stands up, "Goddamn it." He too draws his pistol and shoots Jinx in the back of the head.
"Her Blacks Crackle and Drag"[]
The club carry Creeper's casket to the clubhouse, he was tragically killed in prison a few nights ago and the club are holding his wake. Inside the clubhouse, the club listen to a eulogy by Yvette, Creeper's half-sister. Yvette says that when they were younger, their home life was very rough due to their mother's drug addiction, but Creeper always made sure that his siblings were fed, and had clothes. Yvette proclaims that she is so grateful for the Mayans, as Creeper finally found his home. She addresses them all by name, including Taza, who is lurking at the back of the crowd, much to everyone's surprise.
EZ then addresses the crowd. He says "I killed my brother. I killed Creeper. It was on my watch. And I'll never forgive myself for that." A young woman emerges from the crowd, Santo Padre recognise her as Creeper's girlfriend, she approaches Creeper's casket and places her hands on him, before quickly leaving the clubhouse.
The club toast to Creeper's life, raising water bottles in his honour, dying as he lived, a sober man. Santo Padre carry the casket as Creeper is loaded in to the back of a hearse.
As Nestor, Bottles and Treenie run the very busy bar. Bottles asks where Jess and Cielo are, Treenie says that Jess is a no-show and Cielo won't answer her phone.
After the wake, Bottles sneaks out to try and head to the Saints by himself. No sooner as he sat in the van, Guero dives in the front seat and proclaims to Bottles that he isn't going to see the Saints without him. They begin their drive and after a few well placed "your mom" cracks from Bottles, he says that they need to get gas. They pull up to a gas station and neither want to get out to fill the truck, on the account of the other one leaving the other behind to go and see the Saints themselves. Guero threatens Bottles, telling him as he has before, if he doesn't do what he is told, he is going to "smash him". Bottles, having heard this all before, calls Guero's bluff.
Guero and Bottles (now with a bloody nose) continue their drive to the Saints clubhouse, it becomes clear that they couldn't decide who was going to get out and pump the gas, so they continue without it. Tensions are high as they slowly stutter to a halt, their van finally running out of gas. Guero orders Bottles to push the van the rest of the way as it isn't too far. Suddenly, the pair spot a mighty fire roaring from the Saints farm.
They sprint to the farm and are horrified to see the fentanyl lab is on fire, the Saints are desperately trying to pull out all of the cooks as the unstoppable blaze rages on. Bottles is stuck with fear, terrified that his amigo Elio, is still inside.
"I Must Go in Now for the Fog Is Rising"[]
Guero and Bottles are unable to battle the blaze, to make matters worse, Bottles is heartbroken to discover that Elio was amongst those who the Saints were unable to save. The pair leave the farm and hitch a ride back to Santo Padre in the back of a pickup truck, they don't arrive until the early hours of the morning and immediately tell EZ what happened, he races to the farm.
"Slow to Bleed Fair Son"[]
Bottles looks after Sally whilst the club attend the funeral for Felipe Reyes, the father of EZ and Angel who was murdered a few days ago in a home invasion. The club don't know who was responsible. Sofía thanks Bottles and he notes that Sally's strange behaviour reminds him that his sister's dog did the same thing when she was pregnant.
Back at the clubhouse, the celebration wages on. The Mayans had finished off SAMDINO for good earlier that day. The clubs burn Sons of Anarchy kuttes and celebrate their victory. EZ was also successful in killing Isaac, the SAMDINO President.
Offscreen, a frantic Bishop calls an emergency Templo. Santo Padre listen intently as Bishop explains that he has just learned from Creeper's girlfriend that EZ has been a DEA informant all along. He was gathering intel for them when he first began prospecting for the club. Nestor is invited in by Hank, proposing that they patch him in tonight, he is in deep with the club and has always been a valuable brother, putting the club above all else. Bottles is also invited in, they want him to deal with Sofía as she will figure out what happened to EZ and probably knows club secrets. His full patch may even be waiting for him on the other side. Bishop also explains that Angel most likely knew, he is just as guilty as EZ. They set their plan for Templo that night, to rid Santo Padre of the rat for good.
Bottles approaches EZ's trailer and finds Sofía inside, Sofía smiles at him, the pair have become close due to Bottles spending a lot of time on guard out and around the clubhouse, also being tasked with walking Sally. Sofía smile quickly fades as Bottles raises his rifle and mercilessly shoots Sofía to death. After this, he returns to the clubhouse where he is made a full patch, most likely being told if he commits this murder then he will be sworn in. Bottles discovers that the rest of Santo Padre have already murdered EZ, and Angel is long gone, having been excommunicated from the club.
Santo Padre sits silently in Templo. "Now... back to business" Bishop sneers as he runs his hands along the Presidente's chair before lighting up cigarette. A commotion is heard outside as heavily armed ATF agents storm the clubhouse and burst in to Templo. A barrage of gunshots echoes throughout the compound as Santo Padre are finally wiped out.
