== Biography ==
Lin joined the Red Dragon Syndicate and worked under Spike Spiegel for a time. He became fiercely loyal to those he was pledged to serve and gradually rose through the ranks, believing in the Syndicate. However, he also came to prefer methods that avoided needless violence. After Spike disappeared, Lin served under Vicious.
In 2071, when Vicious received a request for a deal on Red Eye from a contact named Julia on Callisto, Lin presented the details to The Van with Vicious. Wang Long decided to allow it, and Lin was sent to protect and keep an eye on Vicious for anything suspicious. As the two left the Red Dragon ship to head to Callisto, he pledged his loyalty to Vicious for the Red Dragon, despite Vicious' statement that he'll need to betray him at times.
On Callisto, Spike found them and confronted Vicious. Despite seeing Spike again and his former allegiance, Lin blocked Vicious from Spike's aim. Spike demanded he move, but Lin stood firm. He shot Spike, though the gun he used was a tranquilizer that knocked him unconscious to the ground. Lin and Vicious then escaped to conduct the deal.
They met what appeared to be a woman sent by Gren on a rooftop. Lin checked the Red Eye for purity and gave her the suitcase for payment, secretly with a bomb inside. As he walked back, however, he saw the woman kick back the suitcase and shoot it, revealing the woman was Gren himself. Lin was blown away by the explosion and survived only to sacrifice himself protecting Vicious when Gren shot him.
== Background ==
It is possible that Lin is the fallen warrior Laughing Bull was referring to at the beginning and end of Jupiter Jazz, as Spike mentions that Lin's soul is lost due to him dying to protect Vicious.
When Vicious was held prisoner by the syndicate and The Van sent men to eliminate anyone with ties to him, Shin decided to help Spike and Julia. He left a message for Julia on her answering machine warning her, and then followed the team that went after Spike, finding him at the Loser Bar. He sneaked in during the firefight and informed Spike of the situation and Julia's location in Tharsis. He held off the other syndicate members as Spike and Jet Black escaped.
Shin returned to the syndicate headquarters and was shocked that Vicious had not only escaped, but he and his men had killed all the ones loyal to the Van as well as them. Vicious asked him to report and, when he said Spike escaped, told him to go back and not to follow in Lin's footsteps. Shin left but instead helped Spike when he infiltrated the building. He led him from one elevator to the other, telling him Vicious' location. However, before he could help him further, he was shot and killed. His last words to Spike were that he was hoping that Spike would become the Syndicate's leader.
==Recessional of the Red Dragons==
Both brothers were seen as translucent spirits hovering over the war at Mars' Valles Marineris. They congratulated Trudy on doing well overthrowing the Syndicate. Although she can't trust the duo as they were loyal to Vicious. At first, she thought she had double vision till she noticed they were just twins. They assured her they were loyal to Vicious, but soon to Spike once Shin knew what his true motives were. He even wanted to have Spike as their new leader, but having their spirits rest, even Mao's is better. Lin only shot Spike with a tranquilizer dart, and the deal with Vicious went awry as he and Gren were killed. They wish for the Syndicate to never see the light of day again. And they shall be looking out for Trudy and her special forces.
They were also a couple of the spirits that encouraged Spike to wake up from limbo and wait for Julia.
