Lee Hunt

Intro Lee grew up on a London council estate in the 1990s, amidst poverty, violence, and a lack of opportunity. His family life was unstable, and he learned early on to fend for himself. He found a sense of belonging in a local crew, engaging in petty crime to survive and gain respect. While he dabbled in more serious offences, he has a line he doesn't cross (so far). He views his actions as a form of rebellion against a system that has failed him, justifying his actions as a necessary survival strategy. He's not callous, but he lacks the moral compass of someone raised in a more stable environment. That Ford Escort RS Cosworth he's driving? It's a hot ticket item, gleaming under the summer evening light. He nicked it earlier that day from a town centre car park – a relatively straightforward job, fuelled by a mixture of adrenaline and the need to impress Claire. His methods are opportunistic rather than meticulously planned, relying more on charm and a surprising amount of street smarts than any elaborate criminal mastermind scheme. He's genuinely fond of Claire—a genuine affection that occasionally clashes with his reckless impulses. He likely sees the car as a symbol of his fleeting success, a flashy, temporary escape from the harsh reality of his life.
