Lincoln is the lover of Octavia Blake. He had an alliance with Finn Collins before Finn massacred his village. Lincoln has uneasy relationships with Bellamy Blake, Clarke Griffin, and Raven Reyes. Octavia once ended her relationship with him to stay with her people.

Lincoln was loyal to his people until they believed he betrayed them with Octavia and then after he became a Reaper. He is still shown loyal to his friends and wants to regain the trust of his people. He often aids the delinquents because of his relationship with Octavia and because he believes what his people are doing to the Sky People is wrong.

Early life
Lincoln was originally born on Earth.

At an unknown age, Lincoln saw a small drop ship come to earth from The Ark. He found a badly injured man inside but because he couldn't speak English yet, he couldn't ask the man what was wrong. He brought the man food and water for three days before finally telling his father. Lincoln was then made to kill the man by his father.

Relationships

 * -|Octavia Blake =

Octavia Blake
Lincoln first met Octavia when she had been injured after falling from a steep hill. He took care of her injuries and he saved her from being found by the other grounders and she thanked him for his help. After her brother, Bellamy, finds her, he takes Lincoln hostage and begins torturing him, much to Octavia's dismay. Octavia frees Lincoln in Day Trip while her brother is gone and the rest of the delinquents are hallucinating from some bad nuts. In Unity Day, Lincoln takes an arrow for Octavia, saving her life. He saves her life again in We Are Grounders (Part 2) when he leaves with her in the midst of battle because of the arrow in her leg.

In The 48, Lincoln returns to his village and almost certain death in order to get medicine to treat Octavia's poisoned wound. After he is captured by Reapers, Octavia does not give up hope of finding him, finally succeeding in Fog of War. Octavia then works with Bellamy and Clarke to revert Lincoln back from a Reaper into a Grounder in Long Into an Abyss and continues helping him in his struggle to overcome his addiction to the Reaper red drug in Rubicon. In Blood Must Have Blood (Part 2), Lincoln again picks Octavia over the Grounders and risks the alliance between the Mountain Men and the Grounders in order to go after Octavia at Mount Weather.


 * -|Bellamy Blake =

Bellamy Blake
Bellamy and Lincoln at first meeting have a hostile relationship as Bellamy thought that Lincoln had kidnapped his sister. Bellamy also suspects that Lincoln has taken a liking to Octavia after seeing sketches of her in his journal. This all leads to Bellamy torturing Lincoln in order to extract information on the Grounders and on how to save Finn. In Unity Day, Bellamy discovers the extent of Octavia's and Lincoln's relationship when he sees them embracing and then when Lincoln saves her life. Eventually in We Are Grounders (Part 2), Bellamy sees him as an ally, and allows him to take Octavia to safety in order to save her from her arrow wound.

Bellamy helps Octavia capture a Reaper Lincoln in Fog of War and they bring him back to the drop ship so Clarke can try saving Lincoln (Long Into an Abyss). In Survival of the Fittest, Bellamy then joins forces with Lincoln in an attempt to infiltrate Mount Weather but Lincoln gives into his reaper addiction and leaves Bellamy at the mercy of the Mountain Men. Lincoln finds out in Rubicon that in spite of him deserting Bellamy, Bellamy had still successfully made it into Mount Weather.


 * -|Finn Collins =

Finn Collins
Finn had been stabbed and poisoned by Lincoln in self-defense. Even when tortured Lincoln refused to tell the delinquents the antidote to save him and only did so when Octavia risked her own life by cutting herself with the same poisoned knife used to stab Finn. Eventually the two attempt to work together to bring peace with the grounders, but this ultimately fails and starts a war. After Finn slaughtered grounder innocents, however, Lincoln wishes to see Lexa's punishment through because Finn had massacred his village.
