Unlike his older brother Anders, Linus was a very introverted and reserved child.  His older brother always wanted to be in the center of the attention very much like their father.

His older brother always seemed to be his father’s favourite child, but Anders died due to a tragic accident when he was eighteen years old. This was of course a blow for the whole family. From one day to the next, the childhood ended for Linus. Because of the loss of his oldest son, his father suffered from depression. 14-year-old Linus also felt guilty for not having had the best relationship with his older brother.  His deceased brother was put on a pedestal by his father and it seemed that Linus, being so completely different from his brother, could never be ‘adequate’ and was not able to do anything correctly in his father’s eyes.

This lead to the fact that Linus himself started to believe in his inadequacy. He has a lot of self-doubts and has to fight the thought that his father might have been right and he is not good enough at anything. This is the reason why is developed a work ethic that values hard work as he constantly tries to overcome that feeling of being inadequate. He wants to proof it to himself (as well as to his father). He tends to be overcommitting though.<br>

Linus also had to learn that showing his real emotions would only make him more vulnerable, so he became an expert in hiding his real feelings. He really values harmony and does not like conflicts.

In his childhood he fled into the world of books and read a lot. He dreamt himself to other worlds and places, which was also the reason why he finally decided to join Starfleet Academy. However, he did not join the Academy right after school as he was not really sure what to do. His father also made him belief that he would not be good enough for Starfleet. He also likes to make plans and thinks that rules and deadlines should be respected, which made it very easy for him at the Academy.
