The Scoundrel is one of the three classes of followers in Diablo III. The Scoundrel is a ranged attacker who can be seen utilizing a crossbow.

Leonard Boyarsky spoke of Lyndon in an interview with FZ.se[1]:

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.

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.

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. The final tier of armor for the Scoundrel bears remarkable similarity to that of the Demon Hunter at later levels, the main difference being the Scoundrel's manly mustache.

Skills

Much like the player character classes, followers are able to learn a few skills or spells 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.

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..
