Biography[]
Background[]
Happy's Bike
Happy is an enforcer for the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, and, along with Alexander 'Tig' Trager, is commonly used to carry out the club's murders. He is from Tacoma, Washington but patched into the club's charter in Charming, where he had a good relationship with the former President, Clarence 'Clay' Morrow and the later former President, Jackson 'Jax' Teller; after being a member of the Nomad charter. He took a murder-for-hire contract on Marisol and Felipe Reyes, and killed the former. After he was chased by Ezekiel Reyes, he assumed it was a member of a Cartel's clean-up crew and no longer felt safe as a Nomad, so he patched into SAMCRO for personal safety. He is originally from California himself, as he mentions that his mother is from Bakersfield. His real name is Happy Lowman as stated in Lincoln Potter's debriefing room. This name coincides with the fact that he has a happy face tattooed onto him every time he kills someone.

The lead man, Ethan Zobelle explains that he isn't there for repairs, he is there to give some advice to the Sons to stop selling guns to the Mayans and the Niners. The Sons laugh at him, with Clay giving the classic response that they are just motorcycle enthusiasts. Tig whispers to Clay that one of the men is a Nord and Zobelle confirms this, explaining that they are business parters with Darby.

Jax says they will call Piney to bring the flatbed to transport Tig's bike home. Inside the hospital, a nurse explains to Bobby that Tig's insurance won't cover an out of town visit and he needs to be transferred. The club are furious as Tig and Bobby begin dishing out abuse at the hospital workers.
As Happy, Half-Sack and Bobby wheel Tig out of the hospital to bring him to another one, they are jumped by bounty hunters, the club piece together that the nurses must have called the police on Tig, who supposedly has a warrant out for his arrest.

"Gilead"[]
The Sons settle in for their stint in jail. They are in significant danger as the AB will not be protecting them as Zobelle has put out word, they will need to look for other unlikely alliances. Tensions between Clay and Jax run at an all time high as Clay scrambles to secure the Sons protection.
The Sons regroup, Clay has negotiated an alliance with Russel Divine and the Black Guerrilla Family if they help take care of 2 snitches from his gang. One is on the outisde, a dealer named Venus Bell, Opie will be handling it and Dion, the other is currently in protective custody.
Jax has arranged a plan with Dion, Juice will meet him in the infirmary for 'sex'. The Sons tell Juice the plan, who is less than interested but eventually agrees. Tig punches him in the back, cracking his ribs in order to get him sent to the infirmary.
Juice returns to the Sons with good news, Dion has been taken care of, and he made it out of the infiramry unviolated; as he strolls towards the Sons he is approached by AB members who shiv him, stabbing him in the back, Jax pulls the shiv from Juice as he is quickly picked up by the guards and dragged back to the infirmary.
The Sons later learn that Juice will live, but Opie's setup went bad, Victor 'Vic' Trammel, the SAMCRO cop was shot and he may not make it. A guard arrives to take Clay away, he doesn't explain why.
Clay eventually returns and Jax is called up. Jax greets Clay and attempts to embrace him, this earns him a slug around the face from Clay, a bloody fight ensues between the pair as the other prisoners watch on before they are separated.

Opie says he can talk to Jax and try to figure it out, whilst Tig will speak to Clay. After they know the truth, they can take it to the table to try and resolve. Jax then arrives, he says that the Chinese have called and want a sit down, he is going to Cara Cara.

He offers a gift as a show of good faith and Charles "Chuckie" Marstein, (missing all but his two index fingers) is dragged in. Chuckie was a previous SAMCRO ally who deceived the club and as a result, Clay gave him to the Lin Triad who he was trying to screw over, expecting him to be killed. Clay initially refuses the offer of Chuckie, telling Lin he will let him know about the guns. Chuckie pleads with Clay, saying they will just kill him if SAMCRO doesn't take him in. Tig tells Lin that they will take him, he can do the books at Cara Cara to free up Bobby.

Seeing as Clay learned from Stahl inside of jail that the IRA are also possibly selling to the League of American Nationalists, a white supremacist organisation disguised as a legitimate business entity. Clay says they will set up a meet with Edmond and feel him out, Stahl could be lying, after all. Opie says he is going to Cara Cara and is ordered to take Chuckie with him to put him to work. Clay says he wants the guys to stay available.
Clay, Happy, Tig and Half-Sack head to Edmond's house and question him on where their AK's are, Edmond says he sold them and they will get another shipment soon.

Clay, Tig, Half-Sack and Happy link up near the AB members, they did in fact arrive at Edmond's house to collect the guns. They were unable to contact everybody else so it is just the four of them to try and retrieve the guns. Clay is furious, demanding Tig keep calling them.
Unable to rouse anyone else, they eventually roll up on Weston, they jump him and retrieve the guns, Weston laughs at them, noting how bad their timing is. A truck full of AB members rolls up and starts laying down fire, the Sons dive for cover, but Clay wants the guns. He steps out in to the line of fire and Half-Sack jump to his aid, covering him before dragging him away, knowing he cannot salvage anything. They pile back in to the flatbed and flee. Clay stares down Tig as they race away, shocked that he didn't try to assist him.

Jax argues that the gun business has cost lives and money, they have lost far more than they have earned. Clay tells Jax that he had Luann killed and tied the club to prostituion. Jax smirks, asking Clay if he is really going to lay the death of a SAMCRO old lady on him. Clay tells Jax that he will make good on that promise he made him, Jax takes out his gun and cocks it before handing it to Clay and turning his back, daring him to shoot him. Clay hesitates before dropping the gun. Jax tells Clay that he needs a majority vote to shut down Cara Cara, they will vote tomorrow.

The Sons ride out to meet the League for their fight night, organised earlier by Jax and Weston. As expected, Weston has turned up with numerous men and weapons. Weston scoffs at them telling them "Fair is for losers, I'd rather win". Niners and Triad members armed to the teeth emerge from the trees, outnumbering the Aryans at least 4 to 1. Weston submits, telling his guys to drop their weapons. Jax suggests they stick to the plan and a mass brawl breaks out between the 20 men, every member of the Sons wins their 1 on 1 as sirens begin blaring.

Season 1[]
"Cuervo/Tz'ikb'uul"[]
Happy attends a party being hosted by the Mayans. Hallorann, a prospect being sponsored by Happy, asks Ezekiel Reyes for a better beer and EZ is stunned when he sees Happy as flashbacks reveal that Happy was the man responsible for the death of Marisol Reyes eight years ago. EZ caught a glimpse of his face while pursuing him after EZ accidentally shot a police officer.
Season 2[]
"Xbalanque"[]
Happy is dealing guns to the Santo Padre charter alongside a new prospect. He talks with Chuck and claims SAMCRO misses him and hints his eventual return depends on Chibs. When Chuck asks him why SAMCRO is still dealing with guns despite being against Jax's wishes, he states that transition has been harder as there is a lot at stake at the present. When Felipe Reyes appears to ask Chuck for EZ to contact him, Happy seemingly recognizing him from his previous hit job asks Chuck who the man is, whom Chuck reveals is EZ and Angel's father. Learning he is the father of two Mayans he leaves quietly.
"Lahun Chan"[]
The Reyes Brothers assault Happy's house and tie him up to a chair. Although initially defiant, the brothers reveal who they are and they seek to know who ordered the hit on their mother. He is initially reluctant and is tortured by the brothers as they are unable to find any information (they also peel off skin from one of his smileys, to symbolize their mother). When his pitbull's barking annoys Angel he threatens to harm it, only for Happy to declare it is just hungry.
Through a mix of threats of hurting the dog and sympathetic pleas from the brothers to learn the truth, Happy eventually relents and tells them what he knows. He discloses that the hit order was subcontracted to him via SAMDINO's President Les Packer through a contact in Mexico which he believed to be the cartel, and that he was tasked to kill both the Reyes parents. He further elaborates that Marisol Reyes was not surprised to see him, being fully aware she was going to be killed.
He continues to say that he fled upon hearing cars closing in the shop, and that during the night in which EZ followed Happy, he thought the former was a clean-up hitman sent by the cartel to kill him for his failure to execute both parents. As a result he patched in to SAMCRO, frightened. Believing he was at risk as a Nomad.
When his prospects visits him worried as he had not picked on his phone calls, Happy lies saying he had an accident and the Reyes brothers helped him. He sends the prospect to clear his dog's crap and then vows to the brothers to dig up information from Packer on the contact, afterwards they'll be even. The brothers then leave.

"My Eyes Filled and Then Closed on the Last of Childhood Tears"[]
- "Yeah. Do it, Angel. Stop being a little bitch. Do your worst."
- ―Happy daring Angel Reyes moments before being shot to death by EZ and Angel
Happy is laying low out in Twentynine Palms out in the desert in Santo Padre territory. EZ and Angel break into Happy's shack to find Happy and a woman lying in bed. The woman quickly jumps out of the bed, gasping and panicking as Happy is taken by surprise at the break in by EZ and Angel. EZ, pointing a gun at Happy tells him, "Don't fucking move". Happy tells the woman to shut up as she continues to scream, before turning his attention to the Reyes brothers. Knowing his wrongs have finally caught up to him after all these years; Happy smokes one last joint as he asks the Reyes brothers to let the woman go as she is innocent, to which EZ points his gun towards the woman as he replies, "What about my mother? She was innocent." EZ then tells the woman to leave without her cell phone and if she turns around, he will kill her. The woman leaves with Happy's dogs as she follows the orders EZ has given. Happy then asks the Reyes brothers about how they found him, to which EZ tells Happy he has known about his location for weeks and tells him "This is our desert". Happy tries to explain that the job on Marisol was business and that no one knew she was the mother of two Mayans. EZ tells Happy this visit is personal. As EZ asks Happy about what Marisol said before she was killed, Happy begins to mock someone getting shot in the neck, explaining she didn't have time to say anything. Happy then looks over to Angel who is still spooked from EZ, asking why he is so quiet? EZ tells Happy it's been 12 years today since the death as EZ looks over to Angel, telling him "This is my gift to you." Angel is still hesitant as Happy dares Angel to murder him telling him "Stop being a little bitch". Happy then flicks his joint as he quickly reaches over for his gun, as EZ shoots Happy in the chest three times. Happy wheezes as EZ looks back to Angel telling him, "Shoot him, Angel." Angel takes the gun and walks over to a wounded Happy and shoots him in the head.
