Biography[]
Les Packer has been President of the San Bernardino charter for many years. He was seen in the final series of Sons of Anarchy and also appears in Mayans MC.
Packer clearly had a lot of respect for late SAMCRO President Jackson "Jax" Teller, as he appeared to be genuinely forlorn that Teller needed to meet the repercussions for the murder of Indian Hills president Jury White. After his death, he modified his kutte to have Jax's signature gun scythes on his collar.
Packer continued to lead SAMDINO for many years, until 2021, when he was diagnosed with cancer. He became inactive in the club, and also relinquished his role of President to Happy Lowman of SAMCRO, who was appointed acting President. Packer would never recover from his cancer, and would pass away in 2023.
Packer also has a younger brother named Isaac, who had stints of activity within SAMDINO. Just like his brother, Isaac also served as President of SAMDINO from 2022 until 2023, when he was killed during the second war between the Sons and the Mayans.
