Master Lin



"Throughout history, wars are always fought by children. Is it not humane to prepare them?"

- Master Lin

Master Lin is a major antagonist in the Deadly Class comic book series, and headmaster of King's Dominion Atelier of the Deadly Arts. He is a cunning man easily underestimated due to his age and diminutive stature. A strict disciplinarian, he punishes disobedient students, and pits teenagers against each other in a "survival of the fittest" deathmatch in order to weed out the school's "rats". Lin has been taught a philosophy of violence passed down via his lineage; he sees his curriculum as one that prepares youth for the harsher realities of a world at war. He is portrayed by Benedict Wong in the 2019 television series.
