## Biographies

Liam's first appearance was in "Overnight Success", as one of the kids Lincoln invited to his sleepover, after Lincoln had a falling out with Clyde. Since then, he has made other appearances in other episodes.

Zach is the son of two parents whom are both obsessed with aliens. According to Lincoln, Zach lives between a circus and a freeway.

He first appears in "Overnight Success", as one of the schoolmates that Lincoln invited to his sleepover, but because of Lincoln's sisters, he refuses to stay at his house.

He reappears again in "Lincoln Loud: Girl Guru", where he is one of the many boys seeking advice about girls from Lincoln. Lincoln then suggests he learn basic chemistry in order to get Kat to like him, much to his displeasure. Later, he accidentally burns Kat's braids in attempt to impress her with his chemistry skills. He then points to Lincoln, saying he told him to do it.

In "Dance, Dance Resolution", Zach, alongside Liam and Rusty Spokes, are seen unsuccessfully trying to get dates for the school's Sadie Hawkins dance. Later at the dance, Lincoln and Clyde recruit the trio's assistance, by having them handle the former's four dates, while Lincoln tries to hide from Ronnie Anne. Zach ends up having a good time with Giggles.

In "Study Muffin", he can be seen giving a gift to Ms. DiMartino.

In "Making the Grade", he, along with Rusty and Liam, refuse to let Lincoln sit at their lunch table, due to Lisa's intelligence.

In "Back Out There", he, Clyde, Liam, and Rusty notice that Lincoln is standing outside Ronnie Anne's old house, and think that he is struggling with post breakup blues. They help him try to get over her by doing several activities together, and to find him some new girls.

In "Yes Man", he attends SMOOCH with Lincoln, Clyde, and Liam.

In "A Fridge Too Far", he tells Liam he got corn for the answer on the test.

In "Fool Me Twice", he plays tetherball against Lynn's stunt double.

In "Antiqued Off", he and Clyde bond over antiques.

In "Tails of Woe", he brings up the rat beast.

In "Stall Monitor", he makes his parents believe that Mrs. Johnson is an alien in order to prevent Rita and Lynn. Sr from seeing Mrs. Johnson.

Rusty Spokes is one of Lincoln's classmates and a friend to him. He is also a member of the local bicycle gang. He speaks with a squeaky, high-pitched voice.

In his debut episode, Rusty seemed like a mean kid, due to how he laughed at Lincoln's girly bike, but as the series went on, he became one of Lincoln's best friends, while his biker friends, Papa Wheelie and Flat Tire, have rarely appeared since.

## Appearances

Rusty Spokes has fair skin and curly orange hair. He wears blue baggy pants, a light green T-shirt with a yellow collar, and white shoes. His bicycle helmet is blue with a yellow wing design on the front. He also has buck teeth, and freckles all over his face.

Zach is a short kid with wild unkempt red hair, glasses, buck teeth, and freckles on his cheeks. He wears a white and blue striped polo shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers.

Liam is as tall as Lincoln and has freckles on his cheeks. He has orange hair styled into a bowl cut, and two buck teeth.

His regular clothing attire consists of a light and dark green striped t-shirt, brown shorts, white sneakers with green stripes, and white socks with red and blue stripes.

# **Liam**

So far, not much known is about him, other than that he is one of Lincoln's best friends. He likes basketball and rock music. He seems to be from the countryside given his accent and during "Back Out There" where he mentions doing stereotypical agricultural activities such as milking cows and that donkey poo was hard to get out. He also doesn't seem to be able to understand certain metaphorical phrases, such as Rocky's dad complimenting them on their appearance and telling them they'd need to fight the ladies off with a stick, causing him to sadly remark that he had forgotten his stick.

# **Rusty**

Rusty is a good friend of Lincoln, he is a bit awkward and seems to be a coward, given he cried when a pigeon flew in the gymnasium. He considers himself a ladies' man, once hitting on Lincoln's sisters when he came over to work on a project with him and mentions in "Back Out There" that he likes the ladies. He seems to get hungry easily, as shown in the egg baby project where he frequently asked his teacher when lunch was.

Rusty is a good kid at heart who cares about his friends and their happiness. In "Back Out There", he, along with Clyde, Zach and Liam, attempted to cure Lincoln's "post breakup blues" by having a guys night out. While his efforts were misguided, he did go through great lengths to ensure Lincoln would be happy.

He's not afraid of monsters or blood when he watches horror films like in "The Price of Admission", but when this happens in real world he starts getting scared as shown in episodes "Back in Black" and "Tails of Woe".

He has a tendency to confuse the names of Lincoln's sisters as in "The Whole Picture", he mistook Lucy for Luna and Luan for Lola.

# **Zach**

Not much is known about Zach, but so far, he's a nerdy kid who isn't very social. And he has a love for all things sci-fi, especially aliens.

Zach is shown to be more awkward and wimpier than Clyde, Liam and Rusty. He also has a huge interest for aliens. As he once believed Lincoln was kidnapped by aliens in "Back Out There", and that Stella was a spy for the CIA in "Be Stella My Heart". His official bio in *Family Tree* confirms him as one.

But however, Zach means well, and he enjoys having fun with Lincoln, Clyde and the others.
