Bio
Lindsey was born to a dirt poor, dysfunctional family in Dallas, Texas on June 27, 1974. Things just got worse from there. His mother died when he was six years old and his father moved them all to Oklahoma, using what little money that he had. Their “new” house was a tiny three room shack with no heating and no air conditioning. It was horrible, especially considering the fact that he had five other siblings. Two of them died that first winter from a terrible bout of the flu. Three months later, the government came knocking. They wanted the small piece of land that their shack was on and his father, grinning in his ignorance and happiness at the small amount of money that they gave him, signed the papers that officially gave up ownership of the house and lands. It was that day that Lindsey swore that he would never be as ignorant, or as poor, as his father was.
He worked hard all during school, more than eager to prove that he wasn't some uneducated hick. He got a full scholarship to college. It was then that he decided to be a lawyer. Lawyers were respected and made a decent amount of money every year. Lindsey worked two jobs, plus performed in clubs, just to pay for what the scholarship didn't cover, such as food.
Finally, all of his hard work seemed to pay off when he got an offer from a law firm by the name of Wolfram and Hart in my sophomore year at Hastings College of the Law. Although he started in the mail room, Lindsey quickly proved his ambition and his drive to succeed to my superiors. His fellow up and comers called him “Wolfram and Hart's Golden Boy.” It just made him smirk and work all the more harder. He was given a variety of clients, from vampires to demons to evil humans. Everything was going great until Angel made his presence known to the firm by hurling Lindsey's client, Russell Winters, out of a window.
It was that day that Lindsey knew that Angel and he would have a long, bitter rivalry. He worked hard to kill him, eager to do any and everything in his power. He even helped come up with a plan to hire the renegade Slayer Faith. Unfortunately, the Senior Partners weren't very happy with the fact that they were trying to kill him.
Shortly after, Lindsey faced a moral dilemma. Wolfram and Hart wanted to kill three innocent children. He may be a lot of things, but heartless isn't one of them. At great risk to his own life, he went to Angel and told them about the firm's plans to kill the children. He begged him not to make him go back, but he made me see sense and so he did. The plan would have went off without a hitch had Angel not been stupid and stolen that scroll. It set off an alarm, which caused a sweep from the Mind Readers. Someone else got killed for his plan to steal clients and, for a second, Lindsey thought that he was safe. However, he was called to stay back. He was offered an ultimatum and he told them what he wanted. Instead of getting the expected bullet in the brain, he was let to go free in order to walk away from Wolfram and Hart. He went back to get the remainder of his things and, to his shock, Lindsey was offered a huge promotion. Junior partner. It was an honor and his old drive and ambition got the better of him. He went against my word to Angel and stayed with Wolfram and Hart. He helped in a plan to resurrect Darla, Angel's old love. Unfortunately, in the ensuing battle he chopped Lindsey's strumming hand.
He got an artificial hand, but that didn't help matters. He hated Angel more than ever and was willing to do anything that he could to hurt him. However, matters became complicated when Lindsey fell for Darla. He fell for her beauty and was tricked into doing whatever she wanted. She flirted with him, kissed him, and was stupid enough to believe that she actually cared about him. He was her personal fool, and she played him like a violin. When she slept with Angel, Lindsey became incensed. He beat Angel with a sledgehammer and ran over him with his truck. However, he smashed the hand and stole the truck. Upset, he went back to my apartment only to find Darla and all of her things gone. Lindsey was absolutely distraught and his performance at the firm suffered for it. In order to try to help him, they gave him a mystical implanted hand which worked just as well as his old one. Unfortunately, when he wasn't paying attention, the hand would write 'Kill' over and over again. Upset, he went to his favorite bar, Cariata's, and sung for the Host. Angel and his crew showed up and while Angel made fun of Lindsey's singing, Cordelia and Wesley praised him for it. Angel and Lindsey ended up working together to destroy a Wolfram and Hart facility and save all that could be saved. Afterward, he walked away from it all to travel the world and do some soul searching for himself.
Two years later, he learned that Angel had become head of the Los Angeles division of Wolfram and Hart. Lindsey's hatred for him returned in force and he traveled back down there, more ready than ever before to exact revenge on him. He plotted against Angel, wanting to make him look bad. His new “gifts” and his knowledge of the legal system and the inner workings of Wolfram and Hart made him a formidable ally. He wanted to humiliate Angel, to make the Senior Partners realize their folly of letting this vampire have control of Wolfram and Hart. An amulet that was sent to the office contained an incorporeal Spike, the first phase of Lindsey's plan. He sent another package to the office, this one containing a spell that made Spike corporeal once more. He then approached Spike under the guise of “Doyle” and told him that he had visions from the Powers That Be. He eventually gained Spike's trust and cooperation. Lindsey manipulated things to where it looked like the prophecy was referring to Spike and not Angel. For a while, he quite enjoyed how things were playing out. That is, until, Cordelia somehow showed up once again. He sent Spike to kill Cordelia, knowing that it probably wouldn't work but, hey, it was worth a shot. He activated the plan that the Senior Partners had to kill Angel but, once again, Lindsey was thwarted. He then faced off against Angel, but he managed to beat the former lawyers once more. They dissolved his tattoos and the Senior Partners sent him suburbia hell, complete with wife, son, and a demon cutting my heart out at the end of the day. Ah, married life.
Angel, Spike, and Gunn eventually rescued Lindsey, with Gunn taking my place. He told them of the Circle of the Black Thorn, a secret society devoted to preserving man's inhumanity in exchange for power. He also informed them that the Apocalypse was already underway, right under their pathetic little noses. He found it highly amusing that Angel and his team, who had originally worked so hard to do good, was becoming more and more corrupt by the day. He helped Lorne and Angel destroy the Circle and the Sahvrin demon clan. Unbeknownst to Lindsey, however, Angel had instructed Lorne to kill him once it was all over, knowing that he could never be trusted.
You know, you truly haven't lived until you've felt Death's clammy hands wrap around your throat and slowly tighten its grip. The night that Lorne shot him, the night they thought that they'd finally killed him, taught him to live. Lindsey could feel his consciousness slowly slipping from him as the world around him grew colder. Somehow he managed to remember an ancient spell that kept him breathing until he finally managed to make it to a hospital. After he gained my strength back, he traveled once more. Lindsey went and got the tattoos once more in order to keep someone from his past from tracking him down.
He quickly became one of the most feared supernatural bounty hunters, not being picky with what jobs that he chose. He'd do any job, no matter the risks. His only preference was that he did it alone. Being with partners tended to get sticky. Lindsey ended up spending a majority of his time alone, allowing his work to consume his life like it had when he was that young up and coming hot shot lawyer.
