Character: Lincoln Lee
Series: Fringe
Character Age: 29-30ish
Job: Official Confidante

Canon: Shapeshifters, and experimental drug trials, and alternate universes, oh my! Welcome to the world of fringe science. When FBI Agent Olivia Dunham's partner is seriously injured in the investigation of a bizarre chemical weapon attack, she turns to mad (no really, he's in a mental institution!) scientist Dr. Walter Bishop for help. In doing so, her puts herself smack in the middle of what scientists officially refer to as CRAZY SHIT, like that time when she travelled to a universe parallel to her own where zeppelins fill the skies of New York City, and met her alternate universe double!

Said alternate universe double works for her own universe’s Fringe Division of the Department of Defense, which basically handles, you guessed it, crazy shit. Leading the Fringe team on that side is Captain Lincoln Lee. Even though he gets blown up in his first episode (he gets better), Lincoln isn't the sort of guy who would let that get him down. While he's every bit the confident professional that a team leader needs to be, he generally comes across quite casual and friendly. He's also outgoing and great at his job, but, on the other hand, he's reckless and sometimes a little bit... well, dumb. Good decision making isn't always his first priority, but he clearly means well. Just don't ever assume that working with top-secret classified information means he can keep a personal secret. Because he can't.

Sample:

Hi! Captain Lee, Official Confidante, here for you to tell me your deepest, darkest secrets. Then I'll give you advice, and no one but me has to know about your problems. So what if it's not my usual job title, I'm nothing if not professional, no matter what the job may be. So, Mister... Don K. Kong? What's on your mind? Did you see something the Toucan Mafia might disappear you for and need someone to know about it, just in case? Uncover that the zombies are part of a conspiracy to steal all your bananas? Come on, work with me here. I have no clue what kind of secrets giant purple apes need someone to keep for them.

Hey, what do you mean, I don't look trustworthy? I'm a government agent! I'm all kinds of trustworthy. You wouldn't believe the top secret stuff I deal with on a daily basis for my real job. —Yeah, no, I'm not gonna tell you about it. See? Keeping secrets. It's kinda my thing. And hey, no offense, but it's not like a lot of people are curious about the personal lives of monkeys. So come on, buddy, spill. Your personal confidante is here to help.

...Huh. Lady problems. Okay, who doesn't have their share of those. Aside from me, obviously, which is what makes me so good at giving advice. So what if most people tend to stick to their own species. Who am I to judge the love a gorilla has for a giant tentacle monster? So you've got it bad for Marcy, but she's only interested in nubile young campers. I see your problem. You're basically the opposite of nubile, but hey, it works for you. So if you want my advice, I say go for it. You'll never know until you take that chance, and hey, she might have a secret passion for burly purple dudes. And it's not like she's all that likely to have a boyfriend or anything already, right? Great! Problem solved, and your clearly very romantic giant-squid-on-gorilla-action fantasies are never going to leave my head. No, seriously. Never. Now do me a favor and send the next guy in? Thanks.

Hey there, I'm Captain Lee, and I'm here to keep your secrets. Even if it's freaky inter-species love problems involving the tentacle monster, like that last guy. So! What's on your mind? Trust me, I can keep a secret!
