Linus

Linus is a character on the Netflix original sci-fi series Tribes of Europa. He is portrayed by Leonard Kunz.

Linus was a foreman at Varvara's wolk factory until she discovered that he was stealing the product and had him sentenced to death.

Chapter 3
Linus works as a slave foreman at the wolk factory for the Crows. He greets Kiano and shows him where he’ll be working, telling him just how lucky he is to be in packaging rather than production, which is a certain death, as wolk fumes in production would eat away at his brain. Within a couple of weeks, he’d be unable to speak and die soon thereafter.

While working in the factory, Linus warns Kiano not to watch the guards or else they’ll become suspicious of them stealing wolk, a crime punishable by wire. Kiano then asks if there’s a way out, but Linus warns him that he’s wasting his time. While on lunch, Linus reveals that he’s from Flemish Union, though it doesn’t exist anymore. The Crows captured their monarch and decapitate him. After that, Linus and his family moved around until being captured. Linus then reveals that there is in fact a way out. It’s called a Boj — a freedom fight. Slave against slave. Winner will be a free Crow. The only way to get a Boj, however, is if sanctioned by Varvara.

Linus accidentally drops his tools and is attacked by Gregor, who then turns his attention to Kiano and beats him with a baton after Kiano attempts to defend Linus. While on the floor writhing in pain, Kiano notices a couple slaves stealing wolk.

Linus and Kiano return to work the following day. Kiano has come up with a plan that’ll hopefully save the two of them. He reveals that there are two volniks smuggling wolk for the chief of the watchmen, Gregor. Kiano wishes to report this to Varvara and asks Linus to organize the meeting.

Later, Linus approaches Kiano, claiming that Lord Varvara wishes to see him. However, in truth, Linus leads Kiano into an ambush by the smuggling slaves. Kiano jumps down into the water. One of the slaves charges after him with a knife, but Kiano manages to evade his attack and kill the slave. As the guards approach, Linus and the other slave flee while Kiano is apprehended. Varvara then sentences Kiano to death by wire upon learning that he killed one of her slaves.

Chapter 4
Linus watches as Kiano is escorted in for his execution. They tighten a wire around his neck from above. However, Varvara opens her hand to reveal the wolk that she found inside the intestines of a dead Volnik. Varvara asks who else is involved, and Gregor points out Linus and another Volnik. Varvara approaches Gregor with her dagger and commands him to kill himself, doing so will save what’s left of his honor and his family. Gregor takes the dagger and slices his own throat. The wire is then removed from around Kiano’s neck and placed around Linus’ and the other Volnik. The wire is then tightened and within moments, both Volniks are decapitated.
