Lin-Su was a Chinese friend of American archaeologist Indiana Jones.
Biography[]
Lin-Su had taken part in some of the American archaeologist Indiana Jones' earliest adventures, including one memorable encounter involving a shrine.[2] By 1924, Lin-Su was in the US but had ran afoul of the Immigration Service. Jones helped him by telling the government that Lin-Su was working for the National Museum, a lie for which Lin-Su was extremely grateful.[1]
Twelve years later, he met with Jones in Kathmandu, Nepal and supplied him with a map and his custom automobile, a hybrid of three car models that threatened to be permanently broken down should a part need replaced, to help the archaeologist reach Patan in search of Abner Ravenwood and the Headpiece to the Staff of Ra.[1]
Personality and traits[]
Lin-Su was capable of performing a Chinese so professionally to the point it felt like he spoke in the way Occidentalls expected him to speak. He pronounced his friend Indiana Jones' name like if it were Chinese, as "In-di-an-a".[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Lin-Su only appears in Campbell Black's novelization of Raiders of the Lost Ark in an original chapter that explores Indiana Jones' brief stay at China during his trip to Patan, Nepal.[1]
