* In [[Cog of Destiny|Chapter 27E/29H]], Linus's weapon was changed from a Runesword in the Japanese version to a Light Brand in the Western version. However, Nils's augury for the chapter ("I sense a dire foe in the battle ahead. The weapon he wields is cursed. A sword that steals life energies and feeds them to its wielder.") was not changed to reflect this. | |||

Personality
Linus is best described as rash, impulsive, and extremely loyal to his siblings and loved ones. He shows deep respect for Lloyd, and is so wrought with grief after his death that he loses the ability to reason, as he attempts to kill his step-sister, Nino, even when they had gotten along so easily before.

Trivia
- Linus's and Raven's combat sprites as Heroes are unique; instead of breastplates and spiked shoulder pads such as those that Harken (pictured) and Gerik have, Linus and Raven wear long, knee-length jackets to resemble their official artworks.
- In Chapter 27E/29H, Linus's weapon was changed from a Runesword in the Japanese version to a Light Brand in the Western version. However, Nils's augury for the chapter ("I sense a dire foe in the battle ahead. The weapon he wields is cursed. A sword that steals life energies and feeds them to its wielder.") was not changed to reflect this.
