Personality: Lincoln Lee is your stereotypical introductory post to jamjar dwrp.

Okay that's actually a joke and not really true, but his introduction to the show Fringe can be described as just that. We see Lincoln initially as the type of guy who's got a best friend (no girlfriend sadly), a cushy job, and a life that for all intents and purposes fulfills the American Dream. So things are looking pretty normal and decent for a guy whose ambitions aren't all that excessive: get a solid job, get married, maintain normlacy.

That is, of course, until he comes across a woman seemingly responsible for a number of suicide cases and then his life gets flipped, turned upside down. Like your stereotypical jamjar, Lincoln is entirely caught off guard by the behavior exhibited by the Fringe division in blueverse, where Walter Bishop routinely takes LSD and talks about science and candy and everyone treats him like it's the most normal thing in the world. He's there to handle a perfectly normal case despite bizarre implications, but despite that, no one seems to give him a straight up answer and Lincoln is caught off guard by the suggestion that his world can possibly be populated by a criminal that is essentially a "compassionate soul vampire."

Despite his rocky introduction to Fringe, the case is solved and Lincoln remains, determined to try and understand this new aspect of his life that quite honestly makes no sense in the long run. He's the more rational part of the Fringe team, the one that never quite adjusts to the life and schedule of the place, as evidenced by a 3 am conversation with Olivia over how they handle the cases on an intimate basis. Lincoln learns that Astrid is seeing a therapist, and Olivia thinks all of this is normal, and yet he's the one now suffering from insomnia and trying to figure out his place in the world.

Lincoln as a whole is a guy who looks for his tether - a place to call home so that he can live a life free of any extraneous factors. He believes in normalcy, but that doesn't mean he ignores everything else, slowly accepting the sights he goes through as part of an ever changing world. Despite his ambitions, this never comes to pass, and yet, he doesn't give up on his need for normalcy. We see Lincoln ends up a determined character who isn't inclined to let all the pseudo bullshit of Fringe get to him, persevering as a well educated FBI agent who can quite honestly kick some ass and solve some cases with some ingenuity. He's logical to a fault, kind of a little nerdy (quoting batman and wearing hipster glasses?) and easily classified as a Nice Guy (tm).

His relationship with Olivia Dunham shows that Lincoln is far more receptive to changes and adjustments than previous, as indicated by their conversation over how to handle Fringe. In his reintroduction, we see that Lincoln starts developing feelings for Olivia, primarily through his realization that despite the world being all messed up as it is in Fringe, there's still some consistency throughout, and that on its own is worth living for.

Lincoln's attachments in general tend to be focused on people and their relationships, as he formed exceptionally strong bonds to his former partner (who unfortunately was not developed all that much), but we can see the impact that he's had on Lincoln through both material gifts and a lifelong perspective on how to handle the world around him. He maintains a strictly unbiased relationship with Peter Bishop after his return, priding himself on his nonjudgmental attitude, where the rest of the FBI seemed to find him suspicious for all of his knowledge pre-rewritten timeline. This is particularly evident by Peter's treatment in return, even going as far as to offer up new glasses for Lincoln.

What is most interesting however, is despite the minimal relationships, we see that Lincoln could have developed into a much more bolder man with greater ambitions if he decided on a bit of self confidence. In redverse, we see a Lincoln that is far more aware of the world around him, far more determined to take on a leadership quality and excel for the sake of it. There is quite a bit of jealousy on Lincoln's part, since he had taken the more safer route in life, preferring normalcy for the sake of extravagance and boldness, though it doesn't deter him from looking up to AltLincoln to an extent: "Don't get me wrong, I could use some of [narcissism] myself." It is, ironically, within himself, that Lincoln finds his motivation to keep on going. After AltLincoln's death, Lincoln remains in redverse, determined to find the man responsible for killing him, using that as a critical factor to keep on going, eventually pushing himself to be more like the man he could be, as opposed to the man who would settle for second best.

Abilities, Weaknesses and Power Limitations:

fbi agent | Although much information isn't given about Lincoln's training, we can definitely see that he is a rather efficient FBI agent, despite his overall confusion with regards to a lot of the abnormal phenomenon that goes on in Fringe.

combat | Lincoln places around near average for an FBI agent who needs to have some training in combat. He's seen capable of holding his own against targets, having decent ass aim, knocking them out with an elbow without a second thought and yet still gets weirded out over random cows and LSD.

normalcy | Lincoln's best asset is his need for normalcy, despite being constantly caught off guard by the seemingly complicated situations he finds himself in. He never quite learns to handle the weird science that Olivia and the others have no problem adjusting to, and indicates this multiple times. This is of course, his number one weakness in both Fringe and likely will be in Ataraxion as well. Someone need to hold his hand.

As Lincoln is human to a T, he doesn't require any limitations.
