| 11 | Once a "golden boy" with a bright future ahead of him, he loses it all when he accidentally murders a cop while chasing his mother's murderer. Years later, he gets out of jail due to a deal with the DEA and seeks a membership among the Mayans MC. |
| 12 | ---- |
| 13 | * AccidentalMurder: The truth of the crime he was imprisoned for and it’s constantly a reminder of how his old life is gone. |
| 14 | * AffectionateNickname: Is called Boy Scout by Coco and Angel. |
| 15 | * AntiHero: He's working to bring down the Galindo Cartel, but to remain undercover, he has to do very unsavoury things. The entire reason he's involved in the first place is due to his own criminal behavior. |
| 16 | * BadassBiker: It's a Given, let's face it. |
| 17 | * BecomingTheMask: He joined the Mayans in order to fulfill his role in the DEA deal, but being a prospect grew on him and he ended up wanting the full patch. [[spoiler: At the end of Season Two he gets it.]] |
| 18 | * BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: To Emily pre-series when he's in prison, which he regrets immediately. |
| 19 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Besides being the [[AntiHero antiheroic]] protagonist with a beard, being in a [[BadassCrew vigilante biker gang]] and their devotion to their family. EZ and [[Series/SonsOfAnarchy Jax Teller]] come from drastically different backgrounds. Jax was the heir to SAMCRO’s legacy and had devoted his entire life to the club. Meanwhile EZ at first only joined the club as part of his role as an informant for the DEA and had a [[{{Pun}} prospective]] life. Jax was a mostly non-academic bad boy who "only knew outlaw", whereas EZ was a promising athlete attending university with a bright future. We're introduced to Jax as the [[NumberTwo Vice-President]] of the Sons and a vital member integral to most of their actions. We're introduced to EZ as a Mayans prospect far from the ExperiencedProtagonist Jax was and definitely not as privy to the MC's actions. |
| 20 | * CopKiller: He ended up in prison for accidentally killing a police officer [[spoiler:whilst chasing his mother’s killer]] and [[spoiler:Potter]] particularly enjoys reminding EZ of his status as one [[spoiler: by blackmailing him into doing it again.]] |
| 21 | * CulturedBadass: EZ might be an ex-con biker, but he also went to Stanford and enjoys books of poetry, [[CunningLinguist he also knows Latin.]] |
| 22 | * GeniusBruiser: His athleticism gives him an edge despite him being far from as experienced a fighter as other members of the club are, and he has quite a high I.Q. |
| 23 | * MyGreatestFailure: How EZ views his AccidentalMurder as stated above. This lead to him losing almost everything: his girlfriend, his future, a potential child and his freedom. |
| 24 | * NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech: Gives one to [[spoiler: Angel]] to justify why he [[spoiler: deserves to patch into the Mayans and why he asked Bishop to be his sponsor instead of him]]. |
| 25 | * PhotographicMemory: A vital character trait; his ability to spot and retain information comes in handy multiple times: in his role as an informant, when the club needs information and in uncovering clues on his mother’s murder. |
| 26 | * RankUp:[[spoiler:He gets his full patch at the end of Season 2.]] |
| 27 | * TheMole: For the DEA. |
| 28 | * MrFanservice: Just like [[Series/SonsOfAnarchy Jax]]. |
| 29 | |

| 40 | * MoralMyopia: Has the biggest audacity to call out EZ for being in bed with the DEA when he himself is with the rebels. |
| 41 | * PrettyBoy |
| 42 | * RankUp: After the exposal of Riz's tunnel, he was promoted to El Secretario by Bishop. |
| 43 | * ThickerThanWater: After months of barely talking to EZ due to Potter's deal, the reason they reconnect is the chance to find and get revenge over Marisol's death. |
| 44 | * TheUnfavourite: Accuses Felipe of always putting EZ before him. |
| 45 | |

| 52 | * TheMentor: To EZ in Season Two. |
| 53 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he would punch EZ for speaking when he's not allowed to and berates him for being impulsive (even though he's actually proud of him), he also became EZ's sponsor instead of Angel and counsels him to make amends to Angel if he's to get an unanimous vote for his full patch. |
| 54 | * RevengeBeforeReason: He was torn at first about having to make a decision between retaliate or not against the Vatos Malditos. After some council from Alvarez and some pressure from the other two kings, he eventually chooses to retaliate covertly. |
| 55 | * YouAreInCommandNow: Subverted. When Alvarez left the Mayans, he split his power between the charters of Santo Padre, Stockton and Yuma, making Bishop one of the "Three Kings". However Alvarez states that he is head of the table between the three. |

| 75 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: He patched the Vatos Malditos in the past, but was forced to leave them and flee to the US after Palo took over as the VM president. |
| 76 | * FaceHeelTurn: Downplayed. He did kill [[spoiler:Riz]], but not because he changed his alliance to another club, but to make the retaliation against the Vatos Malditos possible, and presumably because an undisclosed personal reason that involves Palo and the VM. |
| 77 | * Gayngster: He is revealed to be gay but very few people know about it because he has been chaste since the love of his life was murdered many years ago. |

| 89 | %%* TheSmartGuy: %%ZCE/Any information that would indicate he fits this trope |
| 90 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: A variant. He was around for almost two seasons, but his lack of characterization aside from his tunnel to make some side money made him basically a generic Mayan member, not so different from Quinn and West from the Sons of Anarchy. |
