Lincoln Lee is a fictional character on the Fox television series Fringe (2008-2013). Lincoln first appeared in the season two finale on May 13, 2010. He is portrayed by actor Seth Gabel.
Initially, Gabel was cast for just the finale, and did not hear about his character's return until the end of the following summer. To date he has played four versions of his character, one in each universe and timeline. The actor was promoted to a full-time regular for the series' fourth season before departing at the end when his character remained in the alternate universe. Lee returned at the end of the fifth season, in the episode "Liberty".
In the episode "Over There", Captain Lincoln Lee is first introduced as a team leader for the parallel universe's Fringe Division. While confronting intruders from the prime universe, or the Other Side, Lee is severely burnt by firestarter Sally Clark, leaving his fate uncertain. Lee returned in the season three premiere, "Olivia", where he is recovering from his burns via his universe's advanced technology. He leads a team to find the previously incarcerated Olivia Dunham, who has escaped from Fringe Division. He is unaware that she is the Olivia from Our Side (rather than his colleague Fauxlivia, who is infiltrating the prime universe). After the death of Colonel Phillip Broyles, Lincoln is placed in charge of Fringe Division.
In "Stowaway", the prime universe version of Lincoln Lee is an FBI agent unaware of Fringe Division. In their first case together, he aids Olivia and Peter in an investigation of a suicidal woman incapable of dying.
In the fourth season premiere, in which the timeline has been reset due to Peter never having existed, Lincoln is unfamiliar with fringe science, and again meets Olivia for the first time. He helps her with a case regarding his dead partner, Robert and others, who were all attacked by shapeshifting human-hybrids. He eventually becomes her partner, aiding in later investigations.
