History: Curtis "Lemonhead" Lemansky, known as "Lem" to his friends, was a detective in the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Lem grew up in a tough neighborhood, which shaped his outlook on life and his dedication to justice. Despite his rough edges, Lem was known for his strong sense of morality and loyalty, traits that often placed him in conflict with the more corrupt elements within the LAPD.Lem became a member of the Strike Team, an elite unit within the LAPD that operated in the fictional Farmington district. The team, led by Vic Mackey, was notorious for using questionable and often illegal methods to achieve their goals. Lem was initially drawn to the Strike Team due to his desire to make a real difference in the community and take down the worst criminals.Over time, however, Lem became increasingly uncomfortable with the actions of the Strike Team, particularly the more extreme measures taken by Vic Mackey and Shane Vendrell. Despite his reservations, Lem remained loyal to his friends, often acting as the moral compass of the group. His internal conflict grew as the Strike Team became embroiled in drug trafficking, money laundering, and other illegal activities.Lem's loyalty was tested to its limits when the Strike Team stole a large sum of money from the Armenian Mafia, an event known as the "Money Train Heist." This heist set off a chain of events that led to increasing tension within the team and with external threats. Lem's growing unease with the team's actions culminated in his decision to turn in the stolen money and leave the Strike Team, but his plans were cut short.

In the series' most tragic moment, Lem was betrayed by his fellow team member Shane Vendrell, who, fearing that Lem would turn on the team, murdered him with a grenade. Lem's death marked a turning point in the series, highlighting the ultimate cost of the team's corruption and setting the stage for the Strike Team's eventual downfall.

I added a spoiler tag because the profile accurately spoils a key plot point.
