Lester is a character in Midnight Club: Los Angeles. He is also available as a player model in the online component of the game.
Background[]
Nothing is known of Lester's background, although judging by his appearance and his later preference for luxury vehicles, he appears to be fairly well-off.
He is best known for being the co-founder of Thomas and the Lesters.
Storyline[]
Lester is a frequent competitor throughout the story. He is one of the first opponents the player challenges in a Pink Slip Race. After becoming the City Champ and having 35 wins in a luxury car, the player is able to face Lester to take over his title of Luxury Champ. Outside of the story line, Lester can call the Player at random and challenge him to a race, with the location determined by the Player, and him using a vehicle depending on the difficulty and player's vehicle performance, with him riding his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 in almost every race with a high-end A-Class vehicle.
