- "What the fuck, Steve?"
- ―Hank when referring to Steve
 
|
Esteban “Steve” Estrada was a member of the Mayans Motorcycle Club, Santo Padre charter on Mayans MC, a spinoff of the FX original series Sons of Anarchy. Played by Mexican actor and comedian, Momo Rodriguez. Steve makes his debut in the season three premiere, "Pap Struggles with the Death Angel"; playing a recurring role throughout the season.
Personality[]
Steve was a good natured man with rather strange habits such as piling up several glasses on reverse, believing they wouldn't clean properly otherwise. Steve was notoriously clumsy and often tripped and caused minor annoyances to the rest of the club and often at times didn't think many things through, being more of a slow thinker and was often being reprimanded by others, particularly Hank; although generally meaning well, to make Steve improve.
Steve held an inferiority complex, and had a history of being looked down upon, likely a mix of his normally quiet personality and possibly over his physique as well. He had decided to become a member of the Mayans mostly as a means to gain more respect and build more confidence on himself as he greatly respected the outlaws. His dedication was apparently real enough as the patched members actually thought fondly of Steve despite his mistakes, and he did prove an asset when truly necessary. Despite his own perceived failings, the Santo Padre Charter was pleased enough by his service that he was officially patched only a mere 4 months in, much shorter than the typical 1 year run, and as a result of changing, more turbulent times for the charter, implying he was trusted enough to be able to stand as a fellow brother.
Steve was ultimately, not fit for outlaw life as he had initially believed. Following the tumultuous, incredibly violent civil war fight with the Stockton charter in which he was ganged up by several Stockton Mayans and killed one of them in self-defence, Steve developed a great deal of guilt over committing murder and potentially leaving a broken family and friends mourning his loss. Although being told by an angry EZ to "lock it away", he was unable to cope with what he had done and committed suicide.
