Biography[]
Lin was of Chinese heritage. By 2278 he was young and served as a swing-shift communications officer.
In 2278, Lin was on duty when Kirk called the bridge asking to be connected with Publican Abben Ffaridor or Brigadier Jjenna Vvox. Lin tried but could only reach one of their guards, who relayed that both were too busy to reply. Kirk was annoyed at their continued avoidance and decided to visit them personally.
