Background
Lester Bowden is the chief accountant for Davenport Mining Corporation in New Gideon, Montana.
During the events of Airwolf: Season 2 Episode 21 Eruption played by William Cort
John Cove tells Bowden he is leaving with the senior company men and Chief Crammins but leaving Officer Hadeen. Mt. Catherine erupts and Stringfellow Hawke and Dominic get a call from Bowden asking for help. Hawke and Dominic walk into the commissary and see Nick Cranovich and Dan breaking into a crate and Hawke demands they leave the crate alone. Bowden walks out of the main office and tells them they need to stay to help protect Davenport property, which Hawke points out should be a priority after helping those who may be injured. Dominic gets the commissary generator working while Hawke and Bowden bury Officer Hadeen. Later, Bowden calls Hawke and Dominic over the radio and asks for help. They drive back to New Gideon and the commissary where Bowden is holding Nick by gunpoint. Nick tells Hawke and Dominic the company stole the emergency supplies and left them with nothing. He then tells them how the company charges them for using the heaters, but takes them back if they are sick or their quota drops. Bowden admits what Nick said is true. Nick says they need Dr. Fisher who was arrested with Mary Avery and placed into a condemned mining tunnel. Hawke, Dominic, Bowden, Nick and the other miners break into the mining tunnel and manage to rescue Mary and Dr. Fisher as Mt. Catherine continues to erupt. After Amelia Davenport and John argue whether she can fire him or not, Bowden walks out with accounting records showing fraud and offers to go with Amelia and Avery to report everything to the board. Pilot starts to fire rockets at the limo as the Limo Driver tries to evade them. Airwolf arrives and manages to have the three helicopters destroy each other and John, Chief Crammins and Pilot are killed. Back in town, Amelia tells Dominic and Hawke she is going to recommend Mary be added to the board of directors as a member at large. Nick walks up and tells everyone Mrs. Cranovich just had triplets, Betty, Laura and Nick Jr. and then faints.
