Lenny Summers

Leonard "Lenny" Summers is a character featured in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Background
Lenny was presumably born sometime in the late 1870's. Both of his parents were former slaves. His father was an educated man, that knew how to read and write, and thought Lenny everything he knew. Lenny's father also gave him a pocket watch, which his former master gave to him. One fateful night, his father was beaten to death by a few drunk men. Lenny killed these men in revenge, and was forced to go on the run afterwards, being only 15 at the time. He joined the Van der Linde gang sometime before the failed Ferry Robbery. It is known that he fell in love with Jenny Kirk sometime before her death, and her loss hit him hard. Lenny also lost his father's watch in Blackwater.

Colter chapter
Although Lenny took part in the assault of the O'Driscoll camp, he first takes the spotlight when the gang is robbing the Cornwall Company Train. Before the robbery, Dutch praises Lenny for his eagerness, and always being ready. After the explosives don't go off that were supposed to bring the train down, Lenny and Arthur jump aboard it. The two fight their way across the train, before Lenny is ambushed by the engineer. Arthur slays the engineer, and they stop the train. Afterwards, Lenny is praised by the gang.

Horseshoe Overlook chapter
Not long after moving to the Valentine area, Lenny and Micah go wandering over to the town of Strawberry. After Micah is captured for murdering a O'Driscoll, Lenny runs back to the gang, and tells them what happened. Dutch tells Arthur to take him to the Smithfield's Saloon to calm his nerves, where the two get very drunk. They later get chased by the deputies in the town for their drunkenness. However, Lenny is caught by a deputy. If Arthur failed to evade the deputies, he and Lenny will be seen in a jail cell. Lenny will pay for their bail to a deputy.

Clemens Point chapter
After wandering around in the town of Rhodes and speaking to the colored folk there, he learns of a group of ex-confederates known as the Lemoyne Raiders. He learns that this gang is camped in a old plantation house, and have many expensive weapons which they are selling to other countries. He convinces Arthur to go with him, and the two assault the plantation. After killing the Lemoyne Raiders occupying the plantation, they take a bunch of weapons and ride off. The pair is ambushed after fleeing the place, but they fight themselves free. Immediately afterwards, Bill approaches them, and they along with Karen rob the bank. Lawman quickly close in, but the four gang members fight their way out, taking with them several thousand dollars. Lenny later takes part in the assault against Braithwaite manor.

Saint Denis chapter
Lenny, along with Arthur and Dutch goes and robs the Saint Denis trolley station, after getting a tip from Angelo Bronte. The tip soon proved to be a setup, as the stations volt contained only ninety dollars. Lawman then descended upon them, and they were forced to ride an empty trolley out of the city.

During the Saint Denis bank robbery, Lenny is unceremoniously gunned down by two Pinkerton agents during their escape on the rooftops. After quickly killing the Pinkertons, Arthur kneels down next to Lenny to briefly mourn his death before being forced to flee.

Lenny is extremely eager, and always happy to help the gang, who he considers his family.
