Reasons to have more than 1 character? Its mainly down to making your Division tech and gear grind a little easier.
You know your daily missions and weekly missions? The ones that give you crate of 25 and 100 Division tech?
Yeah, each character has their own set of dailies and weeklies, so if you were to complete even the combat, crafting and DZ daily, that is 75 Div tech per character x4 characters every day. So, each day you can get like 225 Div tech. Do this every day for a week and well, you know, you can be swimming in Div tech pretty quick. It makes upgrading your equipment much easier. Then the weeklies, that is 100 div tech per character and an exotic item.
Next, we have the LZ bosses around the city. Each character has their own set of bosses, so, that is 15 bosses per character, and you could run the bosses up to 4 times. Soooo, that is 60 chances at a Classified item, 60 chances for an Exotic item, and its just a TON of loot to sell, or decon for materials. And the cooldown for bosses is like 4 hours. Sooo, yeah, chance for alot of loot. If you have friends or group up to do those bosses, its even more.
Also, when you make a new character, you do have to start over, but you can share gear, materials, money and all that. Sooo, leveling up the 2nd, 3rd and 4th time is easier, since you can afford to buy better gear as you grind the campaign. Though, you do have to grind the whole campaign every time.
Pretty much what KGB said above... Plus, the extra characters can be pack mules to store more stuff if you are running low on space. If you got the season pass, it will give you more season pass drops which happen twice per month, per character. Those are 100 Div Tech and you'll get an occasional exotic / classified item from them. I bought the season pass for this last account JUST for these caches. I could care less about Last Stand, and get annoyed by it telling me to go see Kekich EVERY. SINGLE.TIME that I go to the terminal. It was the same price as without that expansion, but it wouldn't have included the caches so I got it anyway.
Some of us really enjoy the leveling up campaign. I don't enjoy hunting down the phones, audio logs, drones, etc so I only have done those once on my 3rd account. I have 3 end game characters and have purposely left one low level so I can level it up with a friend of mine that has just started an extra character.
