## Biography

### Early Life

Lincoln Campbell grew up in Cincinnati and attended medical school; however, he had to leave school, which led to a downfall in his life and living roughly, even attempting suicide by jumping off a bridge until his friend John Donnelly was able to talk him down. Eventually, he was discovered by Gordon and Jiaying.

#### Selection

Lincoln Campbell was taken to Afterlife as a young man when it was learned he was an Inhuman. After a few years he was selected to undergo Terrigenesis, where he gained the ability of electricity manipulation. Campbell greatly suffered after his transformation, at one point almost burning all of Afterlife down. But his mentor was able to teach him to control his powers.

### Meeting Skye

When Gordon brought a new Inhuman named Skye to Afterlife, Campbell was selected to be her transitioner. When she awoke, Gordon introduced her to Campbell before leaving the pair alone. Understanding that Skye had no previous knowledge of the Inhumans, Campbell explained to her the basics of going through Terrigenesis. Skye seemed more concerned about returning home to her friends, but Campbell reminded her that S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed to be hunting her down.

Once she was ready, Campbell gave Skye a tour of Afterlife while explaining the history and culture of the Inhumans, at one point demonstrating his powers by levitating her off the ground, telling her of his experiences just after going through Terrigenesis and how he felt like his body was burning due to the amount of electricity surging through him, but over years of training, he had learned to control his powers. He explained to her the history of the Inhumans and the rules of Afterlife, but had been ordered by the elders not to tell her that her enemy Raina was also living at Afterlife.

However, while they were having dinner, Campbell accidentally let it slip that Raina was also in Afterlife and Skye demanded to know why he had lied about her enemy's presence there. As Skye began to lose her temper, the entire room began to shake, showing him that Skye had the power to create earthquakes; she told him not to stand in her way as she did not yet have control of her powers. Campbell followed Skye when she found and confronted Raina in her room where she had been hidden away. Before Skye could kill Raina by vibrating her skull, they were interrupted by Jiaying, who calmed the situation down and said she would be Skye's mentor.

### Learning Raina's Power

Continuing his work at Afterlife, Campbell walked into Raina's room, where Gordon was trying to console her as she continued to struggle with her new Inhuman form which she described as monstrous due to the thousands of thrones that covered her entire body. Campbell tried to offer his own comfort, but was rebuffed by Gordon, referring to him as "Sparkplug", who insisted that he stay out of the situation. After Gordon left, Campbell listened as Raina described detailed dreams of Skye and her family enjoying life while she continued to suffer.

Later, Campbell walked through Afterlife and saw Skye, Jiaying, and her father Calvin Zabo eating dinner together and smiling as they enjoyed each others company for a strange moment of peace. Campbell noticed that the table contained all of the details mentioned by Raina in her dream, including a bouquet of daisy flowers on the table. As Campbell studied the scene in detail it was in this moment Campbell realized that Raina had the ability to see the future, an ability unheard of in the Inhumans' history.

#### New Friendship

While Skye and Campbell were playing a game of checkers, Campbell noted that Skye seemed very distracted. She explained that she was still thinking about her dinner with her father Calvin Zabo; Campbell tried to cheer her up by saying that dinner with his own parents could be stressful. She explained that she did not feel the dinner was stressful; although she did not want to see Zabo, she was shocked to have found that he was nice and pleasant to her. Skye asked if Campbell knew that Jiaying was sending Zabo away to never return, which she knew was a bad idea as Zabo would likely hurt someone when upset; Campbell suggested that she speak to Jiaying.

### Protecting Skye

Working under Jiaying's orders, Campbell was assigned to watch over Skye on her trip to Milwaukee with Calvin Zabo, as he could become dangerous. He stayed close to the pair as they walked along, and when Zabo took Skye to his old clinic, Campbell followed. Upon entering the building, he made a noise, alerting Zabo and Skye to his presence. Campbell showed himself, and told Zabo there was no need to worry. However, Zabo, in a fit of rage from learning he was not to stay at Afterlife, threw Campbell into a wall, where he lay stunned.

HYDRA agents led by Sunil Bakshi entered the building, and Zabo turned his attention from Campbell to them, telling Campbell to get Skye away, which he tried to do before returning to the fight. Campbell encountered Deathlok, whom he tried to take down with his powers; however, due to his cybernetic enhancements, Deathlok was able to resist the electricity. When Deathlok tried to convince Campbell that he was a friend of Skye's, Campbell scoffed at him and continued to fight him. Their fight was interrupted by HYDRA agents, who incapacitated both of them.

#### Held Hostage by HYDRA

Campbell awoke inside a cell in a HYDRA research base, when he regained his senses. Deathlok spoke to him through the wall, introducing himself as Agent Mike Peterson of S.H.I.E.L.D. Campbell suggested Peterson should use one of his weapons to help them escape, but Peterson assured him that HYDRA had disabled his weapons, leaving them helpless. Campbell explained that Gordon would not come to their rescue as HYDRA was tracking him, in the hopes he would lead them to Afterlife. Seeing they were helpless, Campbell introduced himself. Shortly afterward, the pair were gassed and knocked out for experimentation.

After being taken away by the HYDRA scientist Doctor List, Campbell was forced to endure terrible torture during HYDRA's experiments to try and understand his powers. HYDRA cut him open in an attempt to remove his organs to examine his DNA, causing his heart to stop. While Campbell died, the base was attacked by Phil Coulson and a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, including Skye. After killing many HYDRA agents, Skye located Campbell and used his own electricity powers to restart his heart, saving his life. She took Campbell from the base along with Peterson before the base was destroyed.

#### Saved by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Campbell was taken to the Playground where his injuries were treated, but he remained in a coma for a few days. When he awoke, he found Skye waiting by his bedside, who calmed him down. When Campbell realized he was at S.H.I.E.L.D., he began to panic, knowing that being there put his people at risk as it destroyed the secrecy of their existence, thinking that S.H.I.E.L.D. would not stop until they found Afterlife. He was later questioned by Jemma Simmons and placed onto the Index so S.H.I.E.L.D. had a record of him and his powers.

As Campbell and Skye prepared to leave the Playground, he spoke to Phil Coulson and compared S.H.I.E.L.D.'s methods to HYDRA's; Coulson insisted that he could trust them. They left and were soon collected by Gordon and returned to Afterlife. When they arrived, they were greeted by Jiaying, who asked Campbell what had happened; instead of going into detail about his ordeal, Campbell answered simply, but insisted that he was alright. When Jiaying learned that Campbell had been rescued from HYDRA by S.H.I.E.L.D., she sent him to the healing room to be checked on while she spoke to Skye about the recent events.

### War

When Jiaying was shot twice in the shoulder, Campbell ran to her aid along with several other Inhumans. Jiaying claimed that Robert Gonzales had tried to kill her during their peace negotiations. She ordered Gordon to deal with S.H.I.E.L.D. while she sent Campbell to get the other innocent Inhumans to safety. Campbell did as he was ordered and evacuated Afterlife. Once people were safe, Campbell returned to Jiaying's side just as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet fired down upon them. They were just able to avoid the explosion and Skye denied all knowledge of the attack.

Campbell took Jiaying to the healing room, where her wounds were treated. Skye asked if Jiaying's powers helped take away the pain, and he revealed to her that her powers helped her heal but the pain remained. When Skye offered to give her blood to help, Campbell aggressively told her that she and S.H.I.E.L.D. had done enough, telling her that he blamed her involvement in S.H.I.E.L.D. for the attack on their home. Jiaying calmed the situation and told Campbell that Skye felt as betrayed as they all did; when Skye attempted to defend S.H.I.E.L.D., Jiaying sent them away, claiming she needed rest in order to heal.

#### Hijacking and Retaking of the Iliad

Campbell joined a team of Inhumans led by Gordon onto the Iliad to attack the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on board. Campbell made his way through the ship, using his powers to kill and stun any agents he came across, working alongside the self-multiplying Alisha to take over the ship and capture the crew within minutes. Campbell stood alongside Gordon and Alisha in the ship's control room as Jiaying was welcomed on board the ship to overlook the hostages. Jiaying took out the Terrigen Crystals she had made which were deadly to humans, when Campbell asked what they would do now, Jiaying told him that now they must begin their plan.

When an emergency beacon was sent out from the ship, warning Phil Coulson that the Iliad had been taken over, Campbell ran to the control room to warn Jiaying. He told her that it could not be shut down without the correct code, Jiaying turned to Agents Anne Weaver and Oliver and ordered them to give her the code and expand the beacon, warning all other S.H.I.E.L.D. bases of what was happening. Campbell questioned why she wanted she and she explained that she wanted to show S.H.I.E.L.D. their power. When Oliver refused, Jiaying killed him and several other agents with Terrigen Crystals while Campbell watched in horror.

Considering what he had witnessed, Campbell went to the Iliad's cargo hold and stared at the Monolith. He was visited by Gordon, who explained that while the Monolith was beautiful, in the wrong hands it was a dangerous weapon. They went on to discuss how dangerous they were, Gordon saying that they always had been and now S.H.I.E.L.D. knew it. Campbell expressed his displeasure at witnessing Jiaying murdering the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, but Gordon insisted that that was necessary to protect their people. Gordon went on to remind Campbell of his life before meeting the Inhumans and what Jiaying had done for him, convincing him to stand with them.

#### Choosing a Side

Campbell found Skye in one of the rooms, attempting to shut down the emergency beacon; he confronted her and attacked her with his powers, stunning her. Skye begged him to listen to her as she claimed he had the information all wrong, and that Jiaying had murdered Robert Gonzales and staged the entire attack on the Inhumans as a way of tricking them into following her into a war. Skye explained that Jiaying had murdered Raina after she had had a vision of Jiaying's plan. Campbell believed her, but just as he told her where the Terrigen Crystals were being kept, he was knocked out by Alphonso Mackenzie.

When Campbell awoke, he joined forces with Melinda May and together they saved Skye from being beaten to death by Alisha. Campbell also removed Skye's gauntlets, which were stopping her from using her powers. While Skye went to stop Jiaying, Campbell and May stayed behind to continue fighting Alisha and her clones. After a prolonged fight, Campbell was able to knock out the original Alisha, causing all of the clones to collapse. Due to Campbell's assistance, Skye and S.H.I.E.L.D. were able to stop Jiaying's plans, leading to the deaths of Jiaying and Gordon.

### Doctor Campbell

Campbell decided to shun his past life and wanted nothing to do with the Inhumans, viewing them as a curse due to the betrayal he'd witnessed by Jiaying. He started working at a hospital where he could dedicate his life to helping others. When S.H.I.E.L.D. asked him about the Monolith, he told them all he knew, that it was dangerous, Campbell then asked Daisy Johnson to leave him alone so he could continue to build his life back as a normal man, forgetting his life as an Inhuman and ignoring his powers.

#### Lash Attacks

One day, while doing his rounds, Campbell found Daisy Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie in a recovery room waiting for him; they explained that they wanted him to be the transitioner to a newly-powered individual, as she deemed him to be the most qualified person to take control of the situation. Campbell declined, noting that he felt everything he knew about Inhumans to be a lie due to Jiaying's betrayal and he felt that their history should die. As he attempted to walk away from them mid-conversation, Mackenzie stopped him, placing a Tracker on him, telling Campbell that he was going to allow Johnson to speak and that he did not fear Campbell's powers.

As tension grew high between the two, the lights of the hospital began to flicker; Daisy Johnson told Campbell to calm down, but Campbell insisted that he was not causing the problem. The three of them ran to the front desk to investigate, when they arrived they saw a monstrous man use an energy beam to attack a security guard, demanding to know where the Inhuman was; when the guard could not answer, the monster killed him by blasting a hole into his chest. The beast then turned to see Campbell, Johnson and Mackenzie and seemed to immediately recognize them as Inhumans, turning his attention to them to attack.

As the beast turned to attack them, Campbell defended himself by blasting energy at him; Johnson, with her vibrational powers, and Mackenzie, with his sidearm, acted as backup, causing the man to retreat by ripping a hole through a wall. The trio went looking for him through the hospital. Suddenly the man appeared and eliminated Mackenzie from the fight. Campbell and Johnson both used their powers against their foe, but it was having little effect, as he continued to walk forward. Johnson then destroyed the floor beneath the man; he dropped through it and escaped.

Although the threat of the monster seemed to be over, Campbell witnessed Tina Adams calling for the authorities to report what she had seen of the monster and Campbell's own abilities, which clearly frightened her. Seeing that his life as a human doctor was over, Johnson told Campbell to accompany her to the Playground where he would be safe and could help the other Inhumans, but Campbell refused, running off on his own. When Rosalind Price arrived with her team from the Advanced Threat Containment Unit, Adams showed her a picture of Campbell from his employee file.

### Going on the Run

Campbell was eventually cornered by the Advanced Threat Containment Unit and was chased down by a team led by Luther Banks. Running through a wooded area, Campbell barely managed to stay ahead of his attackers who were willing to use deadly force to bring him in. When Campbell ran into open ground he became in danger of being an clear target, so he ran to a power line and overloaded it, causing sparks to rain down and separate him from the team, allowing him to escape while they were forced to fall back.

Continuing to avoid detection, Campbell purchased a new phone and went on the run in the city. However the phone suddenly rang and he answered it to hear Daisy Johnson on the other end. Johnson revealed that S.H.I.E.L.D. was able to track him and advised him to get somewhere safe so they could bring him in for his protection as the ATCU had given his photograph to the FBI. Campbell hung up on Johnson and destroyed the phone before working out that Alphonso Mackenzie had embedded a tracker in his arm during their last meeting; removing his shirt, Campbell destroyed the Tracker and continued to run.

While travelling on a public bus, Campbell witnessed a news report air which showed his picture with a warning that he was wanted by law officials and was highly dangerous. Campbell sent a bolt of electricity through the bus which shut off the lights and the television; he then put on his hood and attempted to leave. Before he could escape however, another passenger on the bus, Private Brown, attempted to stop him. Campbell told him that he had no idea what he was before sending a massive bolt of electricity through the bus and walking free.

#### Seeking Help

With no other choices, Campbell robbed a series of ATMs before phoning John Donnelly, the man who had once saved him from a suicide attempt. Donnelly collected Campbell and drove him back to his apartment to hide out while Campbell slept. Once at his home, Donnelly asked for an explanation, but Campbell would only say that he was in a little bit of trouble and assured him that he had done nothing wrong. When Campbell requested to buy Donnelly's car, Donnelly accepted without question and offered Campbell a shower and a sleep.

Campbell awoke from his sleep to find Donnelly acting strangely, seemingly afraid of him. When Campbell asked what was wrong, Donnelly grabbed a baseball bat and ordered him to stay away from him, revealing that he had called the Advanced Threat Containment Unit to arrest him as he had heard he had killed people. Campbell attempted to leave, demanding Donnelly move aside before blasting the bat from his hand, but to his horror, Donnelly collapsed from a heart attack. Despite Campbell's best efforts, he was unable to restart his heartbeat and watched his friend die. Losing control of his emotions, Campbell called Daisy Johnson and asked for her help.

#### Help from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Campbell hid in an empty room upstairs until Daisy Johnson arrived; Campbell expressed his belief that he was responsible for John Donnelly's death and that he was dangerous to the world. Johnson reminded him how he had helped her when she first struggled with her Inhuman abilities, telling him that he could still help people as he had helped convince her that she was not a monster. Johnson explained she could not stop caring about him and kissed him. Campbell then agreed to go with her but still refused to work with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Before they could escape, Alphonso Mackenzie arrived with the team from the Advanced Threat Containment Unit, explaining that Phil Coulson had changed the plan, making a deal with their leader in which he promised to hand Campbell over to them. Confused, Campbell demanded to know from Johnson what was going on but she appeared to be clueless. When Luther Banks ordered his men to take Campbell into custody, he fought back, sending an electric shockwave through the floor which knocked Banks and his team backwards before he escaped on foot without them giving chase.

#### Calling Daisy Johnson

As Campbell continued to avoid detection and walk across America, he phoned Daisy Johnson to assure her that he was safe. Johnson teased him and told him she would stop if he revealed where he was. Campbell refused and promised to keep safe, although he admitted to not having as many friends as he used to. As the call was going to be traced, Campbell promised to reach out soon and hung up.

#### Learning Lash's Identity

Having found many of his friends had been found and killed by Lash, Campbell realised that the only way Lash could be finding the Inhumans would be with a book that Jiaying kept, which had ended up in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D. Campbell decided to call one of the only S.H.I.E.L.D. agents he knew could not be a suspect, Alphonso Mackenzie, and asked to meet him. Once Mackenze arrived, Campbell explained that he believed that Lash was a part of S.H.I.E.L.D. noting that he could prove it.

With Mackenzie onboard with the theory, he and Campbell took a Quinjet onto Zephyr One to meet with Phil Coulson and Daisy Johnson. Once they arrived, Campbell questioned why Rosalind Price of the ATCU was there but Coulson promised she was on their side. Campbell explained how only someone with Jiaying's ledger could find the Inhumans from Afterlife and Coulson realised that only Andrew Garner had access to it. Once they realised that Garner was indeed Lash, they rerouted the plane to confront him; while speaking to Johnson, Campbell explained that Garner's transformations were temporary and he would soon be stuck as Lash forever.

#### Revenge on Lash

Andrew Garner was tracked to an abandoned administration building at Culver University where he had kidnapped Agent Melinda May. While Phil Coulson tried to calm him down and take him in peacefully, Campbell prepared to engage if necessary. As he listened to the conversation, Campbell questioned what was happening about an Inhuman Outbreak that Garner mentioned, but Daisy Johnson refused to answer.

As Garner continued to defend his actions, Campbell came to the conclusion that he had gone completely insane and went to confront him, disobeying his orders. Stepping into the room, Campbell caused all of the lights to explode as he demanded to know what gave Garner the right to kill all of his friends. Garner claimed to have every right before he transformed into Lash; Campbell powered up and attacked Lash, firing a massive blast of electricity at him which caused him to flee from the room as Campbell gave chase.

Campbell followed Lash into the corridor where he continued to fire electricity at the monstrous man which stopped him in his tracks. Lash however turned around and ran straight towards Campbell, seemingly absorbing the blasts; he picked up Campbell and threw him hard from wall to wall, knocking him unconscious. As Lash knelt down and prepared to execute Campbell, Alphonso Mackenzie appeared behind him and shot him multiple times with an I.C.E.R. causing him to abandon Campbell and chase after Mackenzie while Campbell recovered.

Lash continued to walk through the building; Campbell found himself cornered. Speaking on the radio, he told the team that he would be able to get Lash to the Containment Module where he could be secured. Campbell battled Lash until they were in the correct room; however, Lash continued to prove to be the stronger fighter and Campbell was thrown across the room. Before he could be killed, Melinda May stood between Campbell and Lash, managing to calm him down so he transformed back into human form and was trapped in the Containment Module.

### Joining S.H.I.E.L.D.

Back on Zephyr One, Campbell was offered the chance by Phil Coulson to stay on at S.H.I.E.L.D. under their Caterpillars program which he accepted. As the Coulson, Johnson, May and Price discussed what should be done about Andrew Garner, Campbell spoke to Alphonso Mackenzie, who asked if he had accepted the offer and Campbell simply told him that he could not keep running forever.

Having had a full night's sleep at the Playground, Campbell and Daisy Johnson explored the base, passing by Melinda May who glared at Campbell. They discussed how Campbell was able to sleep for the first time in weeks in the base; Johnson suggested that Campbell did not need to keep his distance from her and they spoke briefly about their kiss while Johnson teasingly flirted with him. As she walked away, Johnson made the point that Phil Coulson would only keep him at the base if he felt he was useful.

Campbell joined the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D. to hear a speech from Phil Coulson where he announced that they would be launching Operation Spotlight so they could study and observe the ATCU and discover their hidden secrets. Coulson noted that what had happened with Andrew Garner was tragic but it allowed them to use his Containment Module to hack into the ATCU security systems. When Coulson handed the team missions out, he said Melinda May would handle extraction and May requested that she be joined by Campbell, much to his shock. Coulson agreed and ordered the teams to head out and begin the mission.

#### Apology

While onboard Zephyr One and flying to Endotex Labs, Campbell witnessed Daisy Johnson and her team hack into the ATCU's main facility using Rosalind Price's phone, which greatly impressed and amused Campbell. While Lance Hunter and Bobbi Morse went on the mission on the ground, hacking into the computer systems of the ATCU by posing as FBI agents, Campbell and Melinda May got onboard the Quinjet and prepared to extract them when the mission was complete.

As they flew to Endotex Labs in the Quinjet, May remained silent. Campbell questioned if she was using silence to mentally torture him, telling her that he would not apologise for what happened with Lash. Much to his shock however, May apologised to him for Lash's killings, noting that she should have seen it coming. Campbell accepted and thanked her for shooting Lash when she did. They were interrupted when Daisy Johnson informed them that Morse and Hunter needed an early extraction and they collected them along with Luther Banks.

Once the agents had returned to the base, they gathered together and Rosalind Price revealed how she had met Gideon Malick, a high ranking HYDRA agent posing as a key advisor to the President and the ATCU, in 2001 and he had advised her in many key issues, starting when she was working for NASA. Having done further research into the subject, Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz revealed that they had discovered that a devision of NASA was connected to an ancient HYDRA order obsessed with studying the Monolith for unknown reasons.

#### Attack on the HYDRA Castle

At the Playground, Campbell met Joey Gutierrez as the other agents prepared for battle against HYDRA. Gutierrez asked why they were there; Campbell replied that they were probably all S.H.I.E.L.D. had. Alphonso Mackenzie entered the Quinjet with Daisy Johnson and proceeded to give a motivational speech to Campbell and Gutierrez explaining that HYDRA had opened another portal and planned to bring a monster through it that could hurt people that they cared about. Mackenzie asked if they would help; Campbell immediately decided to join the mission, with Gutierrez following him.

Campbell and Gutierrez joined Johnson in the control room of Zephyr One as they overlooked the HYDRA Castle, seeing how HYDRA was bringing in more captured Inhumans for unknown reasons, including Lash. Campbell insisted that their priority was to ensure that the Inhumans were safe, while Bobbi Morse noted that they needed to save scientists Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons. Mackenzie insisted that they needed to use stealth to complete their mission, explaining that the Secret Warriors would join Melinda May and Johnson in infiltrating that base and defeating HYDRA.

As they took position on the outskirts on the base, Johnson spotted Giyera, who she noted was telekinetic Inhuman. Gutierrez claimed he was glad Giyera was not telepathic, with Campbell noting that was because he was afraid and felt he was not a hero. Johnson assured Gutierrez that he was doing fine and they were all nervous, although May insisted that she was not. In order to get inside without being spotted, Johnson ordered Campbell to use his powers to shut off HYDRA's lights, so he got closer and caused all the power systems to malfunction.

While Johnson attempted to hack into HYDRA's computer systems, Giyera attempted to shoot her. Gutierrez was able to run into the path of the bullets, melting before they could to kill him, as Campbell fired a blast of electricity at Giyera which knocked him down. While Gutierrez was still amazed by his new found power which he claimed basically made him bulletproof, Campbell was filled with rage and attempted to execute Giyera, however Johnson insisted they move out before HYDRA could find them, so Campbell was forced to leave Giyera alive.

They soon reunited with the rest of their S.H.I.E.L.D. team once Jemma Simmons had been rescued and gathered in the portal room. While Gutierrez reinforced the doors, Campbell learned that they had to use the Monolith pieces to extract Leo Fitz and Phil Coulson from Maveth before It could arrive, Simmons also admitted Lash was free. As they discussed it, Campbell noted that Jiaying was terrified of the Monolith for a reason and they must not allow It to return to Earth. With time running out, Mackenzie ordered the team to evacuate back to Zephyr One while he and Johnson stayed with the Monolith to evacuate Coulson and Fitz.

Once they were safely back on Zephyr One, Gutierrez witnessed Mackenzie giving the order to Melinda May to destroy the HYDRA Castle. They watched as the Castle was destroyed, however Mackenzie was able to fly the Containment Module out of the explosion and onto the ship. Campbell watched as Mackenzie, Johnson, Fitz and Coulson all stepped out of the Module, kissing Johnson as she approached him, knowing that their mission had been a complete success and Malick's plans to bring It back to Earth were in ruins.

## Personality

Campbell is shown to be a kind and charismatic individual. Upon meeting Skye, he was friendly to her and open about his struggles in controlling his powers and help her accept her new life as an Inhuman. He tries to help however he can, such as suggesting he can help Raina, despite not having such a drastic change to Terrigenesis like she did. He is also perceptive, being the first to notice Raina's precognitive powers. He has shown to be protective of those close to him, as he shadowed Skye in order to keep Cal in check and he will fight if attacked, such as Deathlok at the time. Being captured by HYDRA, realizing Deathlok was not the enemy, he suggested to him to work together in order to escape. Waking up in S.H.I.E.L.D. after being rescued, he was very wary of them, now that they knew of the Inhumans existence. In the beginning of the War against the Inhumans, Lincoln was misled to believe that S.H.I.E.L.D. attacked them and help the Inhumans secure the *Iliad*. Upon seeing Jiaying's willingness to murder unarmed agents, Lincoln began to doubt his leader's intentions and ultimately upon learning from Skye that Jiaying had started the war, Lincoln believed her, knowing that what she was doing was wrong. Upon teaming up with May and despite his willingness to fight, he stopped her from killing Alisha, instead he stunned her, believing that Inhumans weren't evil, just misled by Jiaying.

Upon being betrayed by Jiaying, Lincoln came to view his Inhuman status as a curse and refused to help Daisy Johnson for that reason, but when attacked by Lash, he was more than willing to fight back. Being on the run, Lincoln turned to John Donnelly for help, but when Donnelly suffered a heart attack, Lincoln tried to save him, proving he is still a good man, but ultimately had to leave. Emotionally shaken by his friend's accidental death, he turned back to Daisy for help, agreeing to work with her, but not S.H.I.E.L.D., still showing distrust of them over what happened. However, as Lash was killing his friends, he figured out only S.H.I.E.L.D. could have known about Jiaying's Ledger, Lincoln put his distrust aside and contacted Alphonso Mackenzie, the only agent he knew wasn't Lash and joined with S.H.I.E.L.D. to stop him. Lincoln quickly went against orders when he realized Lash was becoming unhinged and engaged him in combat, despite the latter's superior physicality. However, he managed to get Lash to the Containment Module despite wanting to avenge his friends deaths.
