Sam Fisher has a confused mind in which has unanswered questions which haunt him. His Daughter was killed by a hit and run driver and he retired after that, however he wants to find the answers to the questions about her death.


Characteristics

Angry - He has a lot of compressed anger about his daughters death, this comes out in the later games.
Bold - He is extremely brave and has no fear when it comes to his job. He not only saves the world, but he does it time and time again.
He is without doubt a different type of hero, one in which
does his actions to save others but also to get answers for
himself.


Nathan Drake

Many reviewers have called Drake a likable and believable character in which can be related to, he seems to act like a
normal everyday person. Throughout the game, Drake
says whats in his head without second thought, in which
can get him into a lot of trouble.
Drake has been described as a "Die hard kind of guy that gets in there and just takes care of the situation."

Characteristics

Cocky - Drake can sometimes can come across as over confident, however this sometimes helps and hinders him.
His cockiness to me is part of his charm.

Naive

for what he believes and fights when the odds are against him,
This is just like a hero.
