But the plot now we will not touch on, we will analyze in detail who is the character of the game "Mafia 3" Lincoln Clay.

Biography. Childhood

All that is known about the childhood of Lincoln Clay is that he was born in Delray Hollow, which is in America, in the southwest of New Bordeaux. It is known that his own mother was a Dominican, and according to unconfirmed reports, his father is Italian. However, the role of his parents in the game is small, since already in two years Clay Lincoln becomes an orphan, his mother refuses him. That's why he is in a Catholic shelter. He was taken under his care by Father Jameson. He becomes the new father of Lincoln up to thirteen years, it is at this age that the orphanage closes and he becomes an orphan again.

But Lincoln does not despair and continues to seek his place in the world. His search leads to the "Black Mafia" - a mafia grouping in which Sam Robinson runs all the affairs. Since that moment Sam takes Lincoln under his wing, so our main character finds his new family.

In his nineteen years, Lincoln voluntarily goes to the US Army, which leads to the fact that he is sent to fight in Vietnam. There he will stay for four years, serving in the special forces. His partner is John Donovan, this character becomes the best friend of our hero. They met in 1966.

Role in Mafia III

After the events in Vietnam end, it is in New Bordeaux that Lincoln Clay returns. Mafia 3 has its origins from the moment, after the protagonist felt the whole nightmare of the war. After he found and lost loved ones and his friends, he became a completely different person, more cruel and cold-blooded. It was Vietnam that tempered his character, before him it was a boy, but after him he became a man. Passion is also heated by the situation that prevailed in those days in relation to the blacks. Just in New Bordeaux at that time was the peak of racial discrimination.

Clay Lincoln came to his hometown for one reason: he wants to say goodbye to the man who took him as a native and made him feel unbroken, letting him into his family. He wants to talk with his named father - Sam Robinson.

During the conversation, Sam urges Lincoln to carry out the last errand as a token of gratitude. He says that the relationship between the two mafia groups is now tense (namely, the "Black Mafia" and the Italian one). In an appendage to this, Sam still owes money to Sal Marcano, who is the head of the Italian mafia.

After listening to him, Lincoln agrees to help solve this problem and negotiates a peaceful meeting in Sal's home for reconciliation of the two sides of the conflict. Sam Robinson and Clay Lincoln see this as a new opportunity for their entire family. However, Sal has other thoughts on this matter. The Italian mafia takes out weapons and begins mercilessly killing all representatives of the Black Mafia. After breaking all of them to one, they are mistaken for Lincoln and release a bullet into his head.

It would be the end of the game, but by will of fate Lincoln survives. After a rehabilitation course after a serious injury, he realizes that he has only one thing in this world, because of what you can live. It is a revenge.

the end

Clearly, Mafia III is a game, and any game ends sooner or later. So in our case. Now let's talk about what will happen to the protagonist after he takes revenge.

At the end of the last mission, the player will have a choice: to leave the city, to rule with the lieutenants or to rule one.

Choosing the option to leave the city, Lincoln will go to California, as he wanted. The FBI will lose sight of him and will never find him again. He will meet the woman he wants to marry. He has a wonderful job and he is happy with life, while in New Bordo all are run by Vito Scarletta, one of his lieutenants.

Choosing the option "Edit with the lieutenants," Lincoln begins to rule the city, and his empire stretches all the way to South and North Carolina. However, he will be more interested in drugs, while for others he will be an idol and in his honor schools and hospitals will be built.

By choosing "Edit One", Clay kills all his companions, leaves the murder site and sits down in his car, but it explodes. So the life of the new largest mafia ends.

Notes

Based on the information that the players had time to unearth and which the developers themselves told us, we can draw the following conclusions:

1. Lincoln's height is 1.95 m, weight - 95 kg, and he is of moderate build and with black hair.

2. Lincoln - this is the second main character who passed the Vietnam War and became a veteran.

3. Based on the information provided on the Lincoln Token, you can find out that his blood group is the first negative, and also that he is Catholic.

Clay is Joe's son ?!

Another rumor ran on the Internet that Lincoln Clay is Joe's son from the second part of the game. At first glance, this idea is delusional, but if you look at their faces and compare them, some similar features slip. The situation is also complicated by the fact that the alleged father of Lincoln is Italian, which is exactly the same as this theory.
