===Background===
 
===Background===
Lester is a career criminal and long time ally of [[Michael De Santa]] and [[Trevor Philips]], being a regular member of their heist crews since the start of their partnership, working mostly as a planner and information scout. Lester suffers from a wasting disease that has, throughout his life, gradually worn down his motor skills, leaving him practically incapable of walking without the use of a [[cane]]. Due to his limited mobility, Lester has grown considerably overweight. Nonetheless, he makes up for his lack of physical skills with a genius-level intelligence, a masterful expertise in technology and computing and a sharp eye for detail, which is what makes him an excellent planner for the various heists he pulled off during his career.

At an unknown point in time, Lester met and became affiliated with [[Michael De Santa]] and [[Trevor Philips]], becoming a regular member of their heist crews since the start of their partnership, working mostly as a planner and information scout. Lester suffers from a wasting disease which has gradually worn down his motor skills during his life and left him wheelchair-bound, though he is able to walk short distances with the use of a [[cane]]. Due to his limited mobility, Lester has grown considerably overweight, and he also suffers from asthma. It is implied that Lester was bulled in high school, as he posted on [[Bleeter]] that "getting revenge" on his old high school class "never seemed to get old".

===Personality===
Lester is also very well informed about world politics and the insider details and machinations of corporate action. Using this knowledge, he has been involved with stock fraud and corporate assassination for a large chunk of his career, both prior and during the game.

On Lester's [[Lifeinvader]] page, a message from a girl asking about his true age can be seen, implying that he fakes his age in order to talk to younger women, with [[Trevor Philips|Trevor]] referring to him as "Lester the Molester". Lester admits to Franklin that he hacks girls' webcams to watch them and after the [[The Bureau Raid]] (Fire Crew approach), he says he will "reverse engineer a webcam and spy on those sorority girls again". It is possible that he is bi-sexual, as a folder entitled "Gay porn" can be found on his [[Facade]] computer. Lester possibly believes that the [[wp:Illuminati|Illuminati]] is watching him as he has an Illuminati poster in his house, and this may possibly explain why the windows of his house are covered up. Because of his intense interests, it is possible that he suffers from [[wp:Asperger syndrome|Asperger's syndrome]], a form of autism.

We are about to put the Darwinism back in Social Darwinism, and brother, it is gonna be fun.
— Lester Crest

Lester Crest is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a central character in Grand Theft Auto V and its multiplayer mode, Grand Theft Auto Online.

History

Background

At an unknown point in time, Lester met and became affiliated with Michael De Santa and Trevor Philips, becoming a regular member of their heist crews since the start of their partnership, working mostly as a planner and information scout. Lester suffers from a wasting disease which has gradually worn down his motor skills during his life and left him wheelchair-bound, though he is able to walk short distances with the use of a cane. Due to his limited mobility, Lester has grown considerably overweight, and he also suffers from asthma. It is implied that Lester was bulled in high school, as he posted on Bleeter that "getting revenge" on his old high school class "never seemed to get old".

Personality

Despite Lester's physical disabilites, he makes up for this with a genius-level intelligence, a masterful expertise in technology and computing and a sharp eye for detail, which is what makes him an excellent planner for the various heists he has pulled off throughout his life. He is also an avid video-gamer, and is a particular fan of Righteous Slaughter 7.

Lester is very well informed about world politics and the insider details and machinations of corporate action. Using this knowledge, he has previously been involved in stock fraud and corporate assassination.

On Lester's Lifeinvader page, a message from a girl asking about his true age can be seen, implying that he fakes his age in order to talk to younger women, with Trevor referring to him as "Lester the Molester". Lester admits to Franklin that he hacks girls' webcams to watch them and after the The Bureau Raid (Fire Crew approach), he says he will "reverse engineer a webcam and spy on those sorority girls again". It is possible that he is bi-sexual, as a folder entitled "Gay porn" can be found on his Facade computer. Lester possibly believes that the Illuminati is watching him as he has an Illuminati poster in his house, and this may possibly explain why the windows of his house are covered up. Because of his intense interests, it is possible that he suffers from Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism.

Events of GTA Online

Welcome to paradise.
— Lester to the player.

Lester is one of the several mission givers the player can interact with in Grand Theft Auto Online. He can be found at his house.

The player is introduced to Lester upon reaching rank 10; Lester phone calls the player and asks him to meet up at his house in El Burro Heights. At Lester's place, he informs the player of their growing reputation and suggests to invest the player's money in real estate.

Before the player leaves, Lester tells him/her that he is able to put a bounty on other players by calling Lester. If the player sets a bounty on another player, Lester will take a cut of $1,000.

After the 1.15 Patch, the player can recieve messages from Lester who requires a target eliminated for easy cash.

Events of GTA V

After Michael faked his death with the assistance of FIB agent Dave Norton, Lester left North Yankton and relocated to San Andreas, eventually discovering that Michael had indeed faked his death and gone into witness protection with the FIB in Los Santos. Nonetheless, since Michael told the FIB nothing about Lester's involvment with his team, Lester told nobody about Michael's ruse.

Lester and Michael reunite after nearly a decade when Michael finds himself in need of a new heist after angering Cartel boss Martin Madrazo by pulling his house down a hill (believing it to be the home of Kyle Chavis, the tennis coach who'd slept with his wife). Lester agrees to help, but only after Michael helps assassinate Lifeinvader CEO Jay Norris so that Lester can make a profit by buying Lifeinvader shares at minimal price, only to sell them at inflated ones later. Once the assassination is taken care of, Lester helps Michael, and his new associate Franklin Clinton, pull off a robbery at the Vangelico jewel store in Portola Drive.

Later on during the game, Lester hires Franklin several times to pull off other similar assassinations in order to make profits in the stock market. Other victims include Brett Lowrey, the CEO of Bilkington Research; Jackson Skinner, the Head of Product Development at Facade; Isaac Penny, a venture capitalist who planned to acquire a majority share of the Vapid Motor Company; and Enzo Bonelli, a mobster turned real estate developer who'd blackmailed his way into most construction contracts for Los Santos.

Lester's main role in the game is in helping the protagonists set-up various heists and operations. He helps them plan out a robbery on a County Bank to finance an FIB operation; he helps Franklin rescue Michael after he's captured by Wei Cheng's triad due to his connection with Trevor; he helps Michael and Franklin carry out a break-in on the FIB Headquarters to delete incriminating files about the team and Agent Steve Haines; he helps the three protagonists rescue Franklin's friend Lamar Davis after Franklin's former friend Stretch betrayed him to the Ballas; and ultimately he helps the trio pull off the biggest score of their careers: a robbery on the Union Depository. If the player chooses the Obvious approach to The Big Score, Lester will travel as a passenger in Trevor's helicopter and shoot down pursuing Merryweather helicopters with a Rocket Launcher.


Endings

By the end of the game, Franklin is given separate orders by Steve Haines and Devin Weston to kill one of his friends. Haines wants him to kill Trevor and Weston wants him to kill Michael. The player then has to choose between carrying out Haines' instructions, carrying out Weston's, or disregarding them both and getting together with both Trevor and Michael to take out their enemies.

If the player chooses either ending A or B, "Kill Trevor" or "Kill Michael", Lester only appears again through an email he sends to the two surviving protagonists. If Trevor is killed, he sends Franklin and Michael their share of the Union Depository job as well as half of Trevor's to each of them, as well as claiming to be rather disappointed that things had to end as they did. If Michael is killed, Lester sends Franklin and Trevor their shares of the Union Depository job and sends Michael's share to his family, while at the same time stating in his email that he hopes neither Franklin or Trevor were involved in Michael's murder.

If the player chooses ending C, the "Deathwish" ending, Lester does appear physically once again. Franklin contacts Lester and asks him for help on figuring out what to do. Lester initially suggests killing both Trevor and Michael, but eventually comes up with a better way to solve the problem. He lures Haines' corrupt FIB allies and Weston's private Merryweather batallion to a foundry where the three protagonists ambush and kill all of them, stripping both Haines and Weston of their brute force power. Afterwards, Lester acquires the locations of all of the protagonists' enemies (after Franklin explains to him that Stretch's real name is Harold Joseph), allowing them to take out their enemies once and for all. Michael kills Stretch, Franklin kills Wei Cheng and Trevor kills Steve Haines before going to Devin Weston's mansion to kidnap him. Trevor takes Weston to a cliff in Blaine County where he meets up with Michael and Franklin and all three protagonists proceed to mock a terrified Weston before pushing the car he's in off the cliff, killing him. After the assassinations are carried out, Lester sends all three protagonists their respective shares from the UD job and congratulates them on a job well done.

Assassination Missions and Stock exchange fraud

Lester will give the protagonist Franklin Clinton, a series of 5 assassination missions;

  1. The Hotel Assassination
  2. The Multi Target Assassination
  3. The Vice Assassination
  4. The Bus Assassination
  5. The Construction Assassination

These five missions will give five different opportunities to gain a massive income from the stock market, so before the player starts the mission, be sure to buy as many stocks before (or after for Bus Assassination) the mission is taken. After the missions wait a few minutes and the market will change (the stock market will change every 30 seconds), so be patient and wait for the stock to reach maximum before selling, it depends on the mission/stock market, but it's not uncommon to go beyond 50% increase (150% for Bus Assassination), but most of the times it will level out at around 80%.

The assassination missions are not required for 100% completion and as such may be done after the main storyline ends (the only exception being The Hotel Assassination which is part of the storyline as it provides Franklin with a new safehouse). Players wishing to maximize the amount of money made by the characters may therefore wish to wait until after the main storyline ends before engaging in these missions, and particularly after receiving the cut from The Big Score which pays out after completing The Third Way, Something Sensible or The Time's Come.

Lester will give Franklin a hint to what is going to happen after the assassination, the missions are often a personal matter for Lester, but most of the times it is just for personal gain. He will advise which stocks to buy and when.

With the exception of The Bus Assassination, when it is recommended that investment be done afterwards, players should invest all money held by the three protagonists in the indicated stock before Franklin triggers the mission. Once the mission triggers, Franklin may invest in a stock but the other two characters can only do so after the mission ends, by which time the targeted stock will have already started to rise, reducing potential profit. (Keep in mind also that switching to Trevor and finding him in the middle of a police pursuit or other activity will delay his ability to buy in, too -- and cash out.)

Stock Market Advice;

  1. The Hotel Assassination - Buy Betta Pharmaceuticals at BAWSAQ before the mission and wait for a 80% percentage of return before selling it, after this, invest in Bilkinton Research to get a tiny profit, and it return to his value pre-mission.
  2. The Multi Target Assassination - Buy Debonaire at LCN before the mission and wait for a 80% percentage of return before selling it, after this, invest in Redwood Cigarettes and wait for a 300% percentage of return.
  3. The Vice Assassination - Buy Fruit at BAWSAQ before the mission and wait for a 50% percentage of return before selling it, after this, invest in Facade and wait for a 33% percentage of return.
  4. The Bus Assassination - Buy Vapid at BAWSAQ after the mission, and wait for a 100% percentage of return before selling it.
  5. The Construction Assassination - Buy Gold Coast Construction at LCN before the mission and wait for a 80% percentage of return before selling it.

Note: the BAWSAQ stock market is only available to players who register with the real-world Rockstar Social Club. Players who choose not to do so will only be able to invest in the LCN market and thus will only be able to benefit from the Multi-Target and Construction assassinations (other than Franklin's fee which tops out at $10,000 for the final job).

Trivia

  • Lester may in part be inspired by the character Kelso from the movie Heat. Both Kelso and Lester have physical disabilities, and both men are more involved with planning heists than with actually carrying them out.
  • Lester has two boxes of files in his house on a shelf. Both the boxes say "Assasinations", and "Zombie Outbreak".
  • According to the Rush Casting Call, Lester's beta name was Jerry Cole.
  • As reported by media outlets, Lester may be based heavily on Karl Rove, Senior Advisor and White House Deputy Chief of Staff during the George W. Bush administration until Rove's resignation on August 31, 2007. Despite the uncanny resemblances in appearance, they are both also criminal masterminds that operate from "behind the curtains," Karl Rove and Dick Cheney being coined "Bush's Brain."
  • Lester's email address is "t34b4g99@eyefind.com" which is Leet/1337 for "Teabag99."
  • The in-game version of Lester's artwork shows him wearing a red shirt instead of the green check shirt. This outfit is only seen in the Paleto Score when he meets Michael, Trevor, Franklin and the chosen gunman at Ace Liquor.
