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 emphasized the syllables of his friend Indiana Jones' name as if it were Chinese, pronouncing it "In-di-an-a".[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Lin-Su first appeared in Campbell Black's novelization of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Created for the book, he was involved in a section that expanded on Indiana Jones' journey to Patan, Nepal.[1]
