Lester "Les" Fortunes is the black sheep in the Fortunes family and Art's older brother. He was in jail when Nukus recruited him to his cause and was credited by Art as the one who drew Nukus. When Nukus first recruited Les, he also brought to life Les' creations Horribelle, Vilor, and the Dregs. Despite creating all the Crustacean monsters and their arsenal, Les never gets any respect or credit for it. At the end of the series following Repgillian's destruction, he goes back to jail for some peace and quiet.
