Lincoln Mardin is a stubborn motherfucker. Hailing from America, Lincoln took part in plenty of fighting. His time against the covenant took a lot out of him, and he grew into a gruff, battle-hardened soldier. He takes no bullshit, and is not afraid to be brash in his views. After reasons explained in later parts, Lincoln landed himself in a maximum security prison on Earth, and after attempting to escape was relocated onto the Song of the Ocean's containment chamber. He is sarcastic, pompous and has a bad temper. Throughout the movie, he develops as a person, and his light side begins to show.
