Lester is the infamous brains behind the operation in GTA V and Online, but now he’s apparently showing up as a player character skin in some heist lobbies.
Every GTA player, whether they prefer online or campaign play, probably knows who Lester Crest is. He always seems to be there setting up the next big score from the shadows, but now it looks like he’s finally getting in on the action himself.
Now, he’s not officially appearing in GTA Online missions, but it seems some players have managed to reskin their characters with Lester’s model, resulting in some hilarious lobbies.
Yes, we would definitely say that looks like Lester, who seems to be much more mobile than we see in the campaign and cutscenes. If you’re just queuing up to run some missions, it would be pretty funny to see this pop up.
The picture above was posted to the GTA Online subreddit before being removed by mods, probably because of the way this player changed into Lester.

There are plenty of outfits and clothing you can rock in GTA Online, so why doesn’t Rockstar let players run around as personalities from the game’s story? For one, many of them are also featured in Online and it would also get pretty confusing.
Lester features prominently in missions in both modes, so having the player character be a clone of the schemer would look odd in a lot of cutscenes, to say the least.
