# Leon Klink — “We” character guide

> Leon Klink in “We” by Charles A. Lindbergh.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Klink

**First appearance:** 0012-ix-san-diego-st-louis-new-york

## Snapshot

Lindbergh's mechanic and friend in San Diego, one of the trusted few who helped ready the plane that would carry him across the Atlantic.

## Who they are

Klink works behind the scenes, hands deep in the machinery that made the famous flight possible, far from the cheering crowds of Paris. His friendship with Lindbergh belongs to the grounded, practical world of hangars and preparations rather than receptions and cables. He matters because he anchors the story in the unglamorous labor and loyalty that underwrite every celebrated leap.
