Prison Break Character Breakdown – Lincoln Burrows
While I have never watched the show Prison Break, I have always had friends that have kept me up to date on the show and all the plot twists and turns. However, I am thinking it might be time to pick it up, so I will know what is going on in the Prison Break game coming out in March.
If you are a bit unfamiliar with the show, we just got a new character breakdown for one of the main characters in the show, Lincoln Burrows, or as other inmates know him as, “Link the Sink”.
Check the jump for some background on Lincoln, and sone screens of him in action. Prison Break is coming to PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on March 30th, 2010, hopefully with easy achievements.
Lincoln Burrows
Lincoln Burrows, often referred to as “Linc” or “Linc the Sink” (a name given to him by other inmates,) is the older brother of Michael Scofield. After their mother passed away, Lincoln took on the responsibility of caring for his brother and became Michael’s guardian. Lincoln endured a tumultuous youth, starting with his dropping out of high school during his sophomore year and leading to a life marred by crime and violence. Even early on, he already had a number of convictions on his rap sheet, including theft, battery and possession of illegal substances.
Lincoln continued looking after his brother even into adulthood. He borrowed money to finance Michael’s college education to the tune of $90.000; not a paltry sum. When Michael wondered how his brother was able to send him to school, Lincoln told Michael that the money came from their mother’s life insurance. However, ultimately the money came from the very source that wound up framing Lincoln for the death of the vice president’s brother, Terrence Steadman.
