First and foremost, it should be known that he was a geek growing up and still likes most of the same things that he did as a teenager. He is big into computers, as is evident by his computer circuitry tattoo. He also loves movies, being a huge movie buff and often makes reference to them in his day-to-day conversations. If you ever sat down at his laptop to quickly check your mail... well, unless you know a thing or two about computers, you would't be able to get past the first boot-up screen. And that's even before tackling with his passwords and safeguards he'd put in place. With so much riding on his ability to stay anonymous on the web, he has to protect his online identity to the best of his ability. Another fun fact, he goes by the name 'Lexicon', so if you ever chat him up online, chances are he's already perused your computer just for shits and giggles.

So now that the geeky stuff is out of the way, let's get down to his more not so endearing qualities.

He's a biker. He gets intensely angry at the drop of a hat due to his condition: while in prison, he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and is prone to fits of anger. He was given medication and a prescription to help combat it, but he doesn't always take it.

He's an incredible smart-ass and has an amazing talent to being able to piss just about anyone off without even trying so hard. And most of the time, he doesn't even do it intentionally; his damn sarcasm always seems to get the better of him. There are only a hand full of people that can see through it, though, most of them being the other patch-members of the Men of Mayhem.

So how did he get involved with the Men of Mayhem? While he has only been officially part of the MC for the last ten years or so, he and his brother, Raul, have known them for much longer, since they were both in high school. Due to their less than ideal and familial situation at home, Lex and his brother ended up mixing with the wrong crowd and got involved with John Henley, the still President of the Men of Mayhem MC. The two cortez brothers stole cars for the MC and were actually both very proficient at it. John also taught them mechanics and hired them to work in his above board shop. This is where Lex also started his career (of sorts) as a boxer, with John coaching him and taking him to matches, all in the effort to give the Men of Mayhem a better name in the community. 'Look, we even take the time to coach high school kids to make sure they don't get into trouble. Look how awesome the MC is.'

While Lex is highly intelligent and has been known to be a bit of a joker, he knows when to turf that shit when things are about to get real in the Club. He has all but mastered the art of intimidation, being able to switch on the 'don't-fuck-with-me ' vibe like a light, able to push his own sense of morals and ethics aside in order to get the job done. He dubs this 'asshole mode' and you know you're in trouble when he's engaged it.

So... what else is there to say about this guy? Well, he loves the MC and is insanely loyal to it. How loyal, you ask? Would he go to jail for the club? Would he kill someone for it? Yes, to both of those and has. The prison part happened when he was in his mid twenties. The Club needed to meet up with their business partners for an incredibly crucial meeting, but couldn't because they were being watched by the police. So what did Lex do? He assaulted a police officer, stole his cruiser and drew the attention away from the club and onto himself by inciting an intense car chase down the Strip. Made the news and served the entire time. Who was that business partner that Lex sacrificed five years of his life for? The Russian Syndicate. The MC already had a very good working relationship with them, but due to Lex's actions, that relationship was strengthened even more. Lex was even protected on the inside by the Syndicate while he carried out his sentence. This was also where he learned Russian fluently.
