Lincoln Character Analysis

A tall, hulking Indigenous man who travels with Travis. Frenchie observes that the two men move suspiciously—they leave obvious garbage, stay in one place for several days, and don't seem like they're on the run. But up close, Lincoln makes Frenchie feel uncomfortable for a reason Frenchie can't place. It turns out that Lincoln and Travis are working for the Recruiters, but Lincoln botches the job by taking drugs and killing himself and RiRi.
