Biography
Background
Christina with Lincoln |
She is Michael and Lincoln's mother. Michael took her maiden name because she told him his father was an abusive drunk, whereas Lincoln maintained Aldo's name surname. Michael also named a boat 'Christina Rose' in memory of his mother.
Christina was believed to be deceased until Season 4 Episode 16 - The Sunshine State where it's revealed that she is not only alive, but in possession of Scylla. It is also revealed that she once worked for The Company.
Season 4
Christina was working against the company in order to use Scylla for her own personal gain, which consisted of making money and profiting off of China and then starting a war. She also wanted to make the Indian embassy reveal the contents of Scylla for the conference which the Indian Embassy were supposed to attend.
At one point in Season 4, she wanted to have Lincoln sniped in the back of the head for the safety of her plan. Lincoln barely escaped with his life.
In episode 19 of Season 4 "S.O.B.", Christina drops a bombshell to Michael by telling him that Lincoln and him aren't brothers. Christina says that's why Michael has a much higher IQ than Lincoln and also why Lincoln's temper is much higher than Michael's. She says that Aldo Burrows adopted Lincoln after Lincoln's parents died. Christina never felt the same love for Lincoln as she did for Michael. (According to the writers of Prison Break, this has been confirmed as a false statement she made because she wanted to manipulate the brothers.)
Christina was killed by Sara when she attempted to shoot Michael.
