Lincoln Clay

Willam Lincoln Sun Clay will be the main good guy of Mafia III, the third game in the Mafia series. He is a Vietnam War veteran who plans to start a new life and set up his own criminal empire.

Biography
Thus far, all that has been revealed of Lincoln's early years is that he grew up in a Catholic orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City. The people at the orphanage became like a family to him. However, the orphanage closed down when he was still young. When he came of age, he joined the Vietnamese Army, seeing combat in the Vietnam War with American Army. Upon being discharged from the army, he immigranted to United States of America to find out that an Mexican Mafia, Martinez Family had murdered several of his childhood friends. He decides to establish himself as a powerful gangster, both in pursuit of a better life and to exact revenge against the Mafia for killing his friends.

Personality and traits
Not much is yet known of Clay's personality other than that he is a fairly serious man who values those he refers to as family. Having grown up in an orphanage, he has never had a conventional family, thus he looks to his close friends as a source of support and love. He is extremely protective of those he views as family due to having lost his "family" two times in his life, the first time when the orphanage he grew up in closed down and the second time when the Mexican mafia murdered his friends. He clearly despises the Mob for what they have done to his friends, as evidenced by the way he speaks to a Mafioso he is about to do fatality on; in particular, he feels their concept of a family based solely on blood ties and surnames is a mockery of what a family is supposed to be.
