Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States and the first Pyro when the war began in the 1850s.

According to the WAR! Update, he was the inventor of stairs. However, he never grasped the full import of his own invention, and died attempting to rocket jump up the world’s first staircase in his laboratory at Ford’s Theater. The Engineer Update states that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John "Tower of Hats" Booth.

Trivia

 * According to the Loose Canon comic, there were blueprints for three "Life-Extender Machines", the last one apparently built on the day of Lincoln's death. This led to the speculation that he may still be alive.
 * It was later revealed that the third "Life-Extender Machine" was used by Gray Mann.
