Īt an unknown point in time, Lester moved out to the Midwest, where he met and became affiliated with bank robbers Michael Townley and Trevor Philips, and became a regular member of their heist crews since the start of their partnership, working mostly as a planner and information scout. As an act of revenge, he hacked their systems, a fact that Lester claims 'never gets old'. Sometime after he finished his studies, Lester applied for a faculty position at the University of San Andreas, Los Santos, but was not accepted. Lester was born with a wasting disease that has destroyed his muscle strength to the point where he has to manoeuvre in a wheelchair, though he can still walk short distances with the help of a cane.
