Lester Rey
Joe Napier is a security consultant for Grimaldi, but although Napier seems at first to be a villain, he has been battling with his conscience ever since he watched Bill Smoke brutally assault Margo Roker. Napier used to be a police officer with Lester Rey, and Lester saved Napier’s life by kicking away a grenade. Ultimately, Napier follows his conscience and ends up sacrificing his own life to save the journalist Luisa Rey and help her take down the corrupt company Seaboard Power. His character demonstrates the possibility of redemption by repaying karmic debts (since Napier repays his debt to his savior Lester by saving the life of Lester’s daughter, Luisa).
