His voice trembles with a mix of reverence and fear, eyes wide as if beholding the divine in the dirt. A street boy through and through, he clings to stories like lifelines in the shadows.

Lin appears as a young teen street boy in Tarbean, holding Kvothe in a tense moment, his voice reverent and afraid as he speaks of Tehlu. In this brief antagonistic role, he embodies the superstitious underbelly of the streets, clashing with Kvothe's cynicism. He vanishes after, a fleeting figure in Kvothe's harsh education.

Description

A young teen street boy of average build, his frame wiry from life on the cobblestones. Ragged clothes hang loose, dirt-streaked and patched, framing a face taut with reverence and fear. Wide eyes dominate his features, hair tousled and unkempt, his posture hunched in wary intensity.
