History
Lin Pao was the Supreme Commander of the Free Planets Alliance fleet in the first battle of the FPA–Imperial War.
Born in the 600s, Lin Pao was known as a shameless womanizer who loved to drink, as well as being a gourmand. These traits were viewed in a negative light by the nearly ascetic FPA leadership of the time. He was, however, also known as a genius strategist.
He held the rank of vice admiral during the Battle of Dagon.
In 331 IC (640 UC / 3440 CE) / 640 uc, he fought the first fleet battle of that war against Grand Duke Herbert. Herbert's fleets were soundly beaten, and the Grand Duke himself was killed. In the battle, Lin Pao was aided by chief of staff, Yusef Tpalour. The two proved to complement each other very well.
Lin Pao was promoted to admiral after the Battle of Dagon. He was then made Fleet Admiral at the age of 40, a feat rivaled only by Tpalour himself, and unsurpassed until 437 IC (746 UC / 3546 CE), when Bruce Ashbey was posthumously promoted to the same rank.
After his military service, Lin Pao retired to a quiet civilian life and spent the rest of his days firmly away from political circles.

LaserDisc/DVD character-design differences
Lin Pao, along with Yusef Tpalour, saw a dramatic change in character design with the DVD re-release. Both characters were given larger and arguably more masculine facial features.
