Lincoln Clay (Outlaw’s Saga)

Lincoln Clay, formerly known by his adopted name as Lincoln Robinson (b. January, 1945) is a fictional American Vietnam War veteran and former crime boss in New Bordeaux, Louisiana, who was active from the spring to fall of 1968 before he disappeared and retired from his position. Since then, he has been on the run, as of present day.
== Biography ==
=== History ===
Lincoln Clay was born in January of 1945 in New Bordeaux, Louisiana to a black Dominican mother and an unidentified white Italian father. His father either died or ran off while his mother died years ago. He was raised in an orphanage, where World War II veteran James Bellard became a priest and preached.
Lincoln grew up alone and hateful as well as hated due to his skin color, which was common growing up as a black child in the American South. He was eventually adopted by Sammy Robinson, the head don of the Black Mob, and grew into adulthood alongside Sammy and his wife, Perla’s son, Ellis, growing quite close.
=== Vietnam War Drafting ===
When the Vietnam War occurred, Lincoln was officially drafted into it and initially served under the normal U.S. Army within the 223rd Infantry, but was recruited into the 5th Special Forced Group. He also eventually worked under the CIA and grew to be a very bright and skilled soldier at a young age.
Lincoln served alongside his fellow soldier and close friend, John Donovan, who had a history of his own.
=== Return to New Bordeaux, 1968 ===
In February, Lincoln was finally honorably discharged from the war and sent back home to New Bordeaux, where he reunited with his adoptive family. However, he had learnt about their crippling debt to the Marcano Crime Family and had a scuffle with the Haitians. Lincoln was able to deal with the attacking Haitians and met with Salvatore Marcano, the don of the Marcano Crime Family, having been good friends with his son, Giorgi for a good while alongside Ellis. Lincoln met with Sal at the country club in Frisco Fields to discuss how to deal with the Black Mob’s debt and that was by robbing the Federal Reserve.

Returning to Father James’ church, Lincoln reported the news to James and Donovan that Sal and Giorgi were dead. James tensely asked Lincoln what would happen next as now that although the Marcano’s are now gone, the city is now undergoing a massive shift in change due to Lincoln’s actions. He then nonchalantly announced that New Bordeaux now belonged to him and nobody else can stop him now. James immediately fired back that the whole idea of Lincoln’s war was to get rid of Sal Marcano, not replace him. This angered Donovan, prompting him to announce that the city was a cesspool, where people go to “fuck, drink, and get high,” and that if New Bordeaux is not “given a new Sal Marcano, it’s gonna shit right one out.” Lincoln supported this, suggesting that if it was not him, it would be someone else, maybe even worse than him and Sal.
Father James then began to make Lincoln remember his discussion that he had that day at the soup kitchen at what felt like an eternity ago, about how he wanted to leave it all behind and move to California and start over. Lincoln confirmed that he remembered, with James begging Lincoln to just leave and never look back. Donovan then decided to depart, his job now done, but not before suggesting Lincoln to kill Vito, Cassandra, and Burke before they could get the chance to kill him. After his departure, James then threatened that if Lincoln did anything except leave town for good, he will not have anymore to do with him, saying that “a man’s soul can only take so much,” and his was on the verge of breaking.
As a result, Lincoln got into his car and took James’ words to heart. He then drove to the city limits and began heading west, leaving everything he had worked for behind to try and start a new life. As a result, everything that Lincoln had went to his underboss and most earned mobster, Vito Scaletta, who transformed New Bordeaux into a “Las Vegas of the South” in the future.
=== Aftermath & FBI Investigation ===
Since his war against the Marcano’s in New Bordeaux, Lincoln kept on the run throughout the remainder of his life. According to James and Jonathan Maguire, an investigator who was doing a documentary of Lincoln’s case, Lincoln made it out to California and worked at the shipyards for about three years and even met a woman. It seemed as though he was going to get married, but it all came apart, likely due to Lincoln’s old life taking effect on his personality. However, around 1971, Lincoln had fled California around the time the FBI arrived to apprehend him, and he disappeared for a good six to seven years, leading Maguire to believe that he was dead around 1977 or 1978, but he was later spotted working with the Columbians and was reported, but moved around often and there were sightings of him every few years.
According to an elderly James, Lincoln still wrote postcards to him every so often, even all the way into 2016, which is when the Lincoln Clay Documentary was being shot. He traveled across all of the United States, including Alaska, New York, and more so, and even traveled down to South America, and went back to Vietnam. James then deduced that in the end, Lincoln was unable to accept the world for what it is, or his place in it. Maguire also promised to keep tracking Lincoln down until the day he tires of running or makes a mistake.
=== Sighting in San Andreas ===
In June of 2024, an older but still spry Lincoln was staying in Los Santos, San Andreas for a brief while. While walking down a street, he bumped into criminal Joel Wallace, while pardoning himself, still sporting his signature green jacket. Joel pondered whether or not he had seen him before, but brushed it off after a brief thought. What became of Lincoln after is unknown, still remaining a fugitive at large until the day he would die.
