** Some players have noticed parallels between him and [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV Franklin Clinton]]. Like Franklin, Lincoln is an ambitious young African American and a hardened criminal who is eager to rise to the highest ranks of crime, while also forming a criminal partnership/consortium with a [[StreetSmart street-smart]] career criminal whose experiences [[OlderAndWiser have made him wiser]] (Vito Scaletta and Michael DeSanta, respectively) and with an [[AxCrazy emotionally unstable]] [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]] [[AxCrazy lunatic]] [[HairTriggerTemper with a dangerous temper]] (Thomas Burke and Trevor Philips, respectively).
** Much like [[ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX Frank Castle]], Lincoln is an unstoppable, bloodthirsty, highly-trained mass murderer whose revenge for those who murdered his family is largely what drives the psychological warfare and wave of killings he leaves in his wake.
** Notable parallels have also been observed between him and Frank Lucas, particularly his portrayal in the film ''Film/AmericanGangster''. Like him, Lincoln rises to the highest ranks of crime in an era of social turmoil and segregation.

* EveryoneHasStandards: As much of a hardened black-ops veteran as Lincoln is, he genuinely considers the Southern Union so reprehensible that he doesn't lose sleep trying to destroy it. He's also unnerved by how depraved the Ensanglante cultists from ''Sign of the Times'' are.

* RuralGangsters: The [[DeepSouth Dixie Mob]] are presented this way (especially in comparison to the more upper class [[TheMafia Marcano Family]] and the more urban Black and [[IrishMob Irish mobs]] in New Bordeaux), being composed of racist rednecks who are identifiable for their cowboy hats, denim jackets and [[SigilSpam constant plastering Confederate battle flags on everything they own]]. They run drugs and forced prostitution throughout Delray Hollow (New Bordeaux's primary black district), as well as running Moonshine out of the Bayou. [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Proud Neo-confederates]], they claim to be the remnants of actual Confederate holdouts and hardliners in the area who hid from the authorities in the Bayou and acted as bandits after the Civil War, viewing themselves as their successors. They likewise have strong links to the [[TheKlan Southern Union]], though are ironically looked down upon by the more upper-class members of the Union (as well as the Marcano's), as little more than disposal foot soldiers.
