==Lore==
Lyndon is a thief hailing from [[Kingsport]], and a braggart who takes a more humorous approach to the game's setting.
[[Leonard Boyarsky]] spoke of Lyndon in an interview with FZ.se[http://www.fz.se/artiklar/intervju/20110513/diablo-iii-followers]:
<blue>The Scoundrel is from Kingsport. He’s kind of disgraced and has been kicked out of the thieves’ guild. He’s a real thief in both mind and heart. His name is Lyndon and he acts kind of like the classical DPS character, he’s a guy that does damage from a distance.</blue>
==Gear==
The followers in Diablo III are much more restricted in what they can equip from what we've seen in the mercenaries in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.
It is currently unknown what items the Enchantress can equip, or what the restrictions are. What is known is that each follower can equip two [[ring]]s, an [[amulet]], a main-hand [[weapon]], with a possibility of an off-hand [[item]] such as a [[shield]], varying by follower. Lyndon has only been seen utilizing a two-handed [[crossbow]]. Each follower, in addition to the above, also unlocks an item slot at level 25, which will be a unique item gained through completing the follower's storyline. Lyndon's unique item has yet to be revealed.
Like the other followers, the Scoundrel has three levels of gear progression. It's currently unknown if the gear progression is only cosmetic, or if it based upon level, or some other system.
==Skills==
Much like the player character [[class]]es, followers are able to learn a few [[skill]]s or [[spell]]s at specific level milestones. Not much is known about the skills, currently, besides their names and when they are unlocked. Players may choose one skill from each tier. Follower skills cannot be augmented nor benefit from [[rune]]s, and they only have one rank, as opposed to player skills.
As the [[Enchantress]] draws many parallels to the [[Wizard]] in terms of [[spells]], the same holds true for the Scoundrel, having many similar abilities to the [[Demon Hunter]]..

==Fan Favorite?==
Some fans critiqued [[Kormac]] as following too closely to the art direction of the [[WarCraft]] series, and others commented on the lack of clothing and pop-star sensibilities of [[Eirena]][http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/followers-artwork-and-interface-shots/#comments]. However, Lyndon seems to draw uninaimous approval due, perhaps in part, to his excellently-groomed mustache, [[armor]] theme similar to that of the gothic [[Demon Hunter]], and the in-born charisma of a thief.
