Manny was a member of the Mayans Motorcycle Club, Yuma charter. Initially a full patch, he later becomes Vice Presidente after the death of then Presidente, Canche, and the Vice Presidente role is vacated. He is married and has a young daughter named Bella.
Manny is very loyal to his club, but expresses to Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes and Angel Reyes that his family will always come first. He shares an anecdote to the brothers about how Marcus Alvarez gave up his own son for the club and he will never understand how or why.
Manny is shown to be highly intelligent. He becomes fast friends with Santo Padre member EZ, after the end of the civil war.

"Self Portrait in Blue Bathroom"[]
Manny attends Templo at the Santo Padre clubhouse. Canche gives them a mission; to assist El Banquero in getting his accountant, Randall, over the border in to Mexico. Canche believes successfully completing the mission, which will be difficult, will lead to better relations between El Banquero and the Mayans, meaning increased profits for the club. EZ is up for the mission and Manny says he is familiar with the area, Angel Reyes is also roped in to assisting with the mission.
Manny later congratulates EZ on becoming Vice President. Randall arrives with a young boy who is assumed to be his son. Manny tells him that there is no way they will bring a kid across the desert but Canche steps out and tells Randall there will be no problems.
The trio of Angel, EZ and Manny ride in the back of Neron "Creeper" Vargas' van with Randall and Noah to the outskirts of the desert. Noah appears quite nervous and Manny and EZ attempt to keep the boy happy.
The team trek through the desert in the night but are forced to stop and rest for the night when they see a vehicle patrolling. Manny strikes up a conversation with Angel, aware he is going to be a father soon. He gives Angel some fatherly advice and tells the brothers a story about Marcus Alvarez and how he heard that Alvarez had his own son killed for the club. Manny says he values family above everything and didn't realise it until his daughter was born. The three Mayans continue to bond before turning in for the night.
Manny is awoken by a nearby gunshot and runs down the hill to see what has unfolded. Manny discovers that Angel has shot Randall in the chest.

Back at the table, Canche is demanding answers for what went down, Manny tells Canche that he killed Randall. Outside Templo, Canche pulls Manny aside and tells him it's time to return home to the Yuma charter. Manny tells EZ that he will be leaving and Manny jokes that he "wouldn't change a thing, except maybe getting stabbed and kicked off a roof" and "getting stuck in the desert with a fucking paedophile". The pair shake hands and Manny departs.
"When I Die, I Want Your Hands on My Eyes"[]
Manny returns to the Santo Padre club house upon hearing that the Sons were behind the hit on the Oakland clubhouse. He is shocked to learn that Santo Padre had no idea this was the case.
He sits with EZ at the bar and EZ says that Marcus Alvarez, Santo Padre President and founder of the Mayans doesn't want a war. Manny laments that he is tired of waiting for retaliation and wants the Sons to pay and reminds EZ that he is VP now and he has to step up and lead.
Manny sits at the Santo Padre table after confirmation that it was the Sons who attacked Oakland. Alvarez informs them that they will react but not right now as the club is still too divided. He wants to reach out to SAMCRO first. EZ bravely squares up to Alvarez and tells him they aren't waiting and will act now. He proposes a plan that the club will kill Les Packer, President of Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, San Bernardino who is currently in hospital undergoing chemotherapy and is unlikely to survive much longer. They take out Packer and they take out their leadership. Che "Taza" Romero remarks that it is a suicide mission and EZ agrees saying that is why he will do it along with Angel and Gilberto "Gilly" Lopez. Hank "Tranq" Loza pipes up and says that Gilly shouldn't go, he needs to stay and defend Santo Padre. Manny says he will take his place and the club is in agreement. Alvarez reminds EZ how dangerous this plan is but agrees nonetheless.
"Dialogue with the Mirror"[]
EZ, Angel and Manny sit in a vehicle outside UC Davis, they monitor how many Sons are hanging around the hospital in various places. EZ lays out the plan, to simply go in and kill as many high-ranking Sons as possible. Angel doesn't like EZ's plan but he insists every time he tries to make a plan it goes wrong so he wants to keep it simple. They figure out that Packer is likely to be in the oncology ward so that is where they will head.
Angel heads inside undercover and struggles to find the oncology ward, he eventually finds the floor and lets Manny and EZ in from the outside where they are waiting. They then head to the elevator, EZ suggests they go to the 8th floor and then back down the stairs to avoid any surprises. Ironically, as he says this the elevator arrives and opens and there are four Sons inside, upon seeing each other everyone reaches for their guns but the Mayans are more prepared and begin unloading on to the Sons, they appear to kill or seriously wound all of them. They begin to run in to the lobby but more Sons pour in upon hearing the gunshots. They begin to run blindly through the hospital and Manny decides he will split off and distract the new wave of Sons that have arrived.
Manny is seen again ramming a row of Sons bikes to draw attention from EZ and Angel who are fleeing in a stolen car. He then flees in his stolen vehicle back to Oakland and contacts EZ and Angel to inform them of his safety.
"The Righteous Wrath of an Honorable Man"[]
The club attends Templo with Yuma, Stockton and Oakland. Alvarez announces that the war ends today and they will do it by wiping out all of SAMDINO. This comes in response after the Sons attacked the Oakland clubhouse and killed numerous members.
Manny travels to Fresno, California where he and Otero are able to locate Eric Curry of the Sons' Fresno charter and attack him in a motel room, leaving him for dead.
Back at the Santo Padre clubhouse, the club are celebrating their successful mission in wiping out SAMDINO. It isn't without loss however as Canche was seemingly killed during the raid. EZ sits with a sad Manny as he mourns the death of his Presidente. Manny seems to elude to EZ that he knows Canche didn't die at the hands of the Sons. Manny stands to leave and EZ tells him that he should try to become the new Yuma Vice Presidente as the spot has now been opened.
Alvarez later returns to the clubhouse where he sees that the club have been victorious in eliminating most of SAMDINO. Alvarez leads a toast to Canche along with Diaz and they celebrate his life and their victory.
"When the Breakdown Hit at Midnight"[]
Manny sits in a diner with Dondo, Otero and Tex, an Oakland Mayan. Dondo discusses the suspicious death surrounding Canche and the other Mayans agree. Manny; still doesn't want to believe that Angel or EZ were responsible but the more he listens, he comes around to the idea; knowing of the beef that EZ and Canche had. Suddenly, a shot rings out and Dondo is blasted in the back by a Son, Hoosier and is killed instantly, other Sons surround the Mayans and take them captive.
The three and the dead Dondo are taken to a field. It is revealed that Otero and Manny are the only surviving Mayans (Two burned corpses can be seen in the background, presumed to be Dondo and Tex, although not confirmed). The Son presiding over the executions we know as a man named Isaac Packer of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, San Bernardino. Isaac douses Manny in gasoline and begins taunting and rambling to him.
