Who is drake uncharted

Drake is more than just a charismatic lead, however, as there's more to him than just escaping death and stealing treasure. Spoiler Warning: This list contains plot spoilers for the Uncharted series. There have been a total of five actors who have assumed the role of Nathan Drake over the years.

While most know Nolan North as the voice and motion capture actor of Drake, the role hasn't been exclusive to him. Billy Unger lends his voice to the teenage Drake in the flashback sequences of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

On the live-action side of things, Tom Holland will portray Drake in the upcoming Uncharted movie. Nathan Fillion portrayed Drake in a live-action short film. Nolan North himself even portrayed a live-action Drake in a PlayStation 4 commercial. Nathan Drake was designed to be an "everyman," a guy who isn't well trained nor well equipped for the extremes of this line of work, and often finds himself in over his head.

Even his fighting form was originally animated to be less than optimal to show this. When designing the character, Naughty Dog drew much of their inspiration from Jackass star Johnny Knoxville, especially with Drake's visual design. Knoxville wasn't the only inspiration for Drake, however, as other inspirations include leading films stars such as Cary Grant and Indiana Jones himself Harrison Ford. Through that, he hopes to get answers to Sir Francis Drake's expeditions.

Because such answers require financial assistance, he enlists the help of Elena Fisher, an investigative journalist, and host of the archeological television series Discovered. Elena's television series was not Drake's first plan, however. As can be expected, they are not alone in their search. The unflinching Catherine Marlow is also desperate to find Ubar and will stop at nothing to get there before Nate and Sully.

It is revealed during a flashback in Uncharted 3 , that this search for Ubar has long been an obsession for Marlow and Drake, as Nate actually first came across Marlow when he was a teenager in Cartagena. It was also during this time that Nate and Sully first met. At this point in time, Sully is working with Marlow rather than against her. After starting off being fairly reserved and unsure of Sully in Uncharted , Nathan Drake eventually opens up to his savior and soon-to-be mentor.

It is during this time that Nate tells Sully some of his theories about Sir Francis Drake, and once again claims to be a descendant of the English explorer. When Nate is searching for clues in Yemen, Marlow actually manages to drug and capture Nate. They travel there, and with Chloe working within Lazarevic's camp as a mole, manage to discover the remains of Polo's crew in a series of caverns.

In the caverns, they discover the Phurba , a golden dagger which will grant entrance to the fabled city of Shambhala. They also find a clue that points towards a temple in Nepal. They are ambushed by Flynn, who learns of the Nepalese temple.

After they narrowly escape, Sullivan decides that the quest is too risky for him to carry on. He had been presumed deceased following a NATO bombing raid which caused severe scarring to his body. The four reach the temple and discover that the stone and Shambhala are in the Himalayas.

Just as they are about to leave , the group is ambushed outside the temple, and Jeff is severely wounded. The couple rushes to the train yard and catches up with the train on a stolen jeep.

Nate boards the train, and after fighting his way through Lazarevic's lines of defense, comes across Chloe, who is upset about how Nate had insisted that they take Elena and Jeff along with them earlier. She refuses to go with him, instead, telling him to get off the train, and as the two argue Flynn arrives and shoots Nate in the abdomen.

As he is about to fire again and kill Nate, Chloe causes Flynn's next shot to miss Nate by pushing his arm aside. Nathan takes the opportunity to flee back through the train. Nate escapes the crashed train and trudges through a snowstorm, eventually falling unconscious due to his wounds and exhaustion. They find the expedition inside a huge temple, hidden in a series of ice caves. Nate and Tenzin are attacked by yeti-like creatures as they escape from the temple.

On the way, they are attacked by the yeti-creatures from the ice temple. As they enter the city, the group are attacked by another wave of Guardians. In the chaos, Nate, Elena, and Chloe escape. Inside the city, they discover that the "Cintamani Stone" is, in fact, the petrified blue resin of the Tree of Life. Nate reunites with Chloe and Elena and they escape the city as a series of explosions begins to destroy Shambhala. Back in the village, Chloe asks Nate if he loves Elena.

He does not deny it, and Chloe bids Nate goodbye as Sully carries a recovering Elena over to him. They share a kiss and together they walk over to the edge of a cliff and watch the sunset behind the mountains as Nate mentions that he is afraid of clowns.

Nate and Elena marry in unknown circumstances. However, Nate's phobia of commitment and lust for adventure places great strain on the marriage, and the two separate, becoming estranged. Elena keeps her wedding ring, and Victor Sullivan looks after Nate's without his knowledge. Nate and Sully decide that Talbot's money is counterfeit, and a brawl ensues. Cutter and his thugs gain the upper hand and subdue Nate and Sully.

Katherine Marlowe arrives and takes Francis Drake's ring from Nate. Cutter then shoots both Nate and Sully, angering Marlowe who leaves the scene with Talbot. When Marlowe leaves, Nate and Sully get up, having faked their deaths, and it is revealed that Cutter is, in fact, working with them. The three meet up with Chloe Frazer , who directs them to the warehouse that Marlowe went to following the shooting.

From the warehouse, they follow underground tunnels to a secret library, where they find the journal of T. Lawrence , Francis Drake's cipher disc , and a map. He had also been documenting sites that he went to, the only two that were documented by him and the crusaders, who were also looking for the lost city, were in France and Syria.

Nate and Sully travel to France to investigate the chateau. There, they find half of an amulet. They express the hope that the other half is in Syria. As they leave, they are attacked by Talbot and his men, who take the amulet and set the chateau on fire.

They escape the burning building and travel to Syria, suspecting that Chloe and Charlie will also be ambushed. The four reunite in a castle in Syria, where the find the second half of the amulet.

However, Talbot again ambushes them and takes the amulet, along with Lawrence's journal. While escaping, Cutter's leg is broken, and he and Chloe decide to sit the rest of the adventure out. Nate and Sully travel to Yemen , where they meet up with Elena Fisher. Elena gives the pair journalist permits, allowing them access to the city. She is dubious of Nate's true motivations and expresses her concern for Sully, but Nate is more interested in the fact that she is still wearing her wedding ring from their estranged marriage.

She claims it 'helps in this part of the world'. Nate spots Talbot and manages to get Lawrence's journal back off him in a fight. They quickly duck off the streets and into a hidden underground tunnel system. After navigating their way through a series of puzzles they are shown a map of star constellations, which pinpoints the Atlantis of the Sands.

As the only one who can read the star chart, Sully notes the location of the city. As they leave the area, Talbot drugs Nate. Hallucinating, Nate pushes Sully and Elena away and follows Talbot's voice until he finally blacks out. When he wakes up, Nate is confronted by Marlowe, who begins recounting his life in detail. Nate acts as if he doesn't care, but is terrified to see that Marlowe has full details on Elena.

Marlowe promises that nothing will happen to her if he helps them locate Sully. When Nate refuses, Marlowe goes on to explain that Sully hasn't tried to find him, and that "Victor is only ever in it for Victor. Despondent, Nate sits in silence as Talbot informs Marlowe that they have apprehended Sully. Nate chases Talbot through the streets and buildings of Yemen's market district, eventually catching up with him in a private garden. After a brutal fight, Nate is knocked out by the pirate Rameses.

Nate is taken by Rameses to a ship graveyard , which the pirate has been using as his base of operations. He tortures Nate so that he can learn the location of Iram for himself, but when Nate refuses to break, he says that he will torture Sully instead.

Nate breaks free and navigates his way through the graveyard to Rameses' cruise ship - The Seaward. In the hold, Nate learns that Rameses never had Sully, it was a ploy to get him to talk. Nate causes an explosion which tears a hole in the ship's hull, and he barely escapes as it sinks.

He washes ashore in Yemen. He makes his way to Elena's apartment. Elena is overjoyed to see Nate, believing that he was dead. She leads him to the sofa where he rests his head on her lap. She updates him on Sullivan's situation: he, Marlowe, and her crew are in a convoy heading into the desert.

Marlowe had a two-day start, so catching up to them on foot or motor vehicle would be impossible. Elena discovered that an airplane would be making a supply drop to the convoy, so she planned on sneaking onto the plane, dropping in on the convoy, and rescuing Sullivan. Since the plane wasn't taking off until dawn, Elena insisted Nate rest.

Nate asked Elena if she planned on rescuing Sullivan by herself, to which she replied she'd do anything to save him. Nate tells her that he likes the way she thinks. As he drifted off into sleep, he took Elena's hand the one with the wedding band still on it and apologizes to her, to which she simply responds "I know.

The next morning, Nate manages to get aboard the cargo plane, while Elena remains behind. Hours later, as the plane flies over the Rub' al Khali desert, he is found by one of Talbot's thugs. In the ensuing fight, the plane is badly damaged. It rips apart, and Nate is sucked out. He manages to grab a cargo container mid-air and deploys its parachute, which carries him safely to the ground. Nate treks through the desert for days, suffering from exhaustion and dehydration.

He experiences multiple hallucinations, before finally arriving at a ghost town. He finds that Marlowe's men have occupied the town, and is rescued by a Bedouin tribe. Salim , the Sheikh of the tribe takes Nate to his camp, telling him that his scouts have been tracking Marlowe's convoy for two days. Nate explains how Marlowe has Sully and in turn, explains that Sully knows the location to the lost city of Iram.

Salim tells Nate that the city was cursed three thousand years ago when Solomon took control and commanded the power of the spirits of Djinn. Afterward, many Djinn rebelled and Solomon imprisoned them in a brass vessel which was drowned in the city's central cistern. With Salim's help, Nate rescues Sully from the convoy and they enter Iram.

Upon entering, Nate drinks some of the city's water and experiences a hallucination in which Talbot kills Sully, in the hallucination Nate wants to make him regret revenge. When the hallucination ends, Nate realizes that the water's contaminant is what Talbot and Marlowe want - Solomon's vessel of brass. He also realizes that is what Sir Francis Drake was sent after by the queen, although once he realized what he was searching for he abandoned the mission, lied to the queen, and then hid all evidence of his voyage.

Nate and Sully manage to destroy the winch that is being used to retrieve the vessel, and by doing so cause the city to crumble and sink into the desert.

Marlowe is trapped in the quicksand but persuades Nathan to help her escape. He is unable to reach her, and she dies, taking Francis Drake's ring with her. Nate and Talbot engage in a knife fight. Nate used his pistol to kill Talbot and save Sully. After Nate emerges victorious, he and Sully escape the city on horseback with Salim. Nathan and Sully arrive at an airport, preparing to leave Yemen.

Sully takes a moment to tell Nate that "we don't get to choose how we start in this life; real greatness is what you do with the hand you're dealt. Elena arrives at the airport and tells Nate that she is sorry about Drake losing Francis Drake's ring. Nate tells her that he traded it for "something better", letting her see that he is wearing his retrieved wedding ring.

The two leave Yemen together, with Sullivan, hand in hand. Three years after his last adventure, Nate has settled into a normal life with his wife Elena in a suburban home in New Orleans, Louisiana, not seeming to have changed much in regards to personality and still having remnants of his old obsession as he is seen throughout the game picking up objects, surprising himself in his inventions and making some excuses. He is now working as a diver for a local salvage company owned by his boss Jameson.

After successfully salvaging a sunken train car with its cargo intact, Nate was offered a salvage job in Malaysia by Jameson which he declines due to the lack of legal permits required.

Later that day, Nate joins Elena for dinner and the two exchange their day. While listening to Elena, Nate remembers his past life as a fortune hunter and stops listening. Elena then assumes he is troubled about the Malaysia job and after a discussion and some playtime, the two share a kiss.

Sometime later, as Nate works in his office, he is visited by his brother Sam whom he thought was shot and killed in a Panamanian prison escape fifteen years prior. After Nate tells Sam of his previous exploits and adventures, Sam narrates how he had escaped the prison.

His cellmate, drug lord Hector Alcazar breaks him out in exchange for half of Henry Avery's lost treasure. Sam then forces Nate back into his former life of fortune-hunting in order to save his brother.

Just before they leave, Nate lies to Elena that he had taken the Malaysia job. Sam presents Nate with a promising lead on Avery's treasure, a cross of Saint Dismas, similar to the one they had found in the Panamanian jail fifteen years ago, but intact and is being sold for auction in the Rossi Estate in Italy.

Nate and Sam head to the estate with help from Nate's mentor, Victor "Sully" Sullivan whom Nate hasn't seen or talked to since their last adventure. Sully secures their invitation to the auction and they plan to steal the cross before it is put up for auction. However, before they could get the opportunity to do so, the order was changed and the cross was suddenly put up for auction. Nate and Sam plan to kill the power in order to steal the cross from the display. Meanwhile, Sully bumps into Nadine Ross, head of private military army Shoreline and Rafe Adler, a rich fortune hunter who was with Nate and Sam in the Panamanian jail looking for clues to Avery's treasure.

Sully learns that Nadine and Rafe had partnered and are aiming to outbid everyone to get the cross. Sam impersonates a waiter in order to get as close to the cross as possible. Just as Nate arrives in the power room, the bidding for the cross starts.

Sully tries to outbid Rafe in order to buy time for Nate to kill the lights. Once the lights go out, Sam steals the cross and he and Sully leave the room, just before the emergency lights turn on. Nate exits the power room and makes his way to Sam and Sully while trying to avoid security. En route, he encounters Nadine and she immediately and swiftly subdues Nate, demanding the cross. Nadine unintentionally throws Nate out of a window and he makes his way to Sam who is pinned down by security in the auction room.

After fighting their way through security, Nate and Sam are rescued by Sully in a limo and they escape the Estate and head to their hotel. Once at the hotel, they break open the cross and find a paper that points to a specific grave near the Saint Dismas cathedral in Scotland. Nate and Sully in Madagascar. The three head to Scotland in Sully's Hog Wild seaplane. The Saint Dismas cathedral area is now owned by Rafe Adler who had purchased the area after recovering the previous cross in the Panamanian prison fifteen years ago.

The cathedral is now a dig site occupied by Shoreline mercenaries while the adjacent graveyard is untouched. Nate and Sam make their way to the graveyard and find a grave that fits the description found on the paper in the cross. After finishing a test, the grave points them to a cave underneath the cathedral. Nate and Sam make their way through the cave, pass tests and eventually find themselves in a chamber with a scale that has a jeweled cross on one end and a pile of coins on the other.

Picking up a coin from the pile they pass the test and a map of Madagascar is shown pointing to King's Bay. Nadine enters the chamber and Sam tricks her into picking up the cross, setting off a trap.

The brothers fight their way out of the cathedral and make their way to the plane and head straight for Madagascar. The coin is minted with a mark of a volcano that coincides with a volcano near King's Bay.

Nate, Sam, and Sully make their way to the volcano and find towers marked with the sigils of pirate captains from Avery's time. They eventually find a tower marked with Avery's sigil and discover the map that reveals the locations of all twelve towers and their sigils. Using the coin, which is also minted with a sigil, they narrow the best possible location of Avery's treasure to two towers on opposite ends of King's Bay. Nate and Sully solve the puzzles in their tower and learn that theirs is the correct tower.

However, they didn't find the treasure but they found only a map marked with Pro deus qoud licentia. Before Sam could make his way to Nate and Sully's tower, Rafe calls Nate and informs him that he hacked their phones to get their location and Shoreline mercenaries to ambush the three in their towers. Nate, Sully, and Sam are chased all though out the city and countryside by mercenaries until they finally lose them and meet up at their motel room. The Latin cipher Nate and Sully discovered points to the existence of Libertalia, the legendary pirate utopia which was likely founded by Avery and the eleven other pirate captains he had recruited.

Just before they could leave, Nate is confronted by Elena, who is upset over Nate lying to her about the Malaysia job and Sam's existence. Elena walks out on Nate and is followed by Sully who stays back to watch on her.

Nate and Sam continue on to head towards an island that was pointed out in the map they had discovered. On the island, they solve elaborate puzzles which point them to another, larger island where they hope Libertalia is located. Just as they were about to leave, Rafe and Shoreline mercenaries arrive and a storm brew.

Nate and Sam race towards the larger island while being attacked by Shoreline vessels. Before they could reach the island, their boat is rammed by a larger Shoreline ship, separating Sam and Nate and marooning them both on the island. Nate awakes in the middle of the storm and attempts to make his way to Sam until he passes out. The storm passes and Nate wakes up to a Morse code signal from Sam. He climbs and fights his way through the island jungle and eventually reunites with Sam.

Nate expresses his concerns over Sam's obsession with finding the treasure, what he had sacrificed and that his feelings about giving up. Then they suddenly discover the remains of civilization and later find themselves standing in the commercial district of Libertalia. Sam expresses his excitement for the discovery and they make their way to the treasure building. On the way, they find clues about a rebellion and a civil war that deserted the legendary pirate utopia.

When they arrive at the treasure building, the treasure was no longer there. According to manifests and evidences, Nate and Sam conclude that the twelve pirate captains who were the founders of Libertalia stole from the colonists and kept the treasure for themselves. They also concluded that the most likely place the founders took the treasure is to a place called New Devon, the residence of the founders, in the northern part of the island.

As they make their way to a tall tower, they are ambushed by Shoreline mercenaries who destroy the tower and Nate and Sam are confronted by Nadine who single-handedly hustles the two Drakes. Just as the brothers get the upper hand, Rafe and other mercenaries arrive. After attempting to strike a deal, Rafe reveals that he was the one who had freed Sam from prison and that Hector Alcazar has been killed over six months prior.

Furious, Nate still attempts to bargain with Rafe to let them go home. He and Nate went to the place where the journals were sold, a manor, and broke inside. The brothers found their mother's journals but were then confronted by an old woman who owns the manor.

The tension was eased when Sam revealed that their mother was Cassandra Morgan, who used to work for the old woman before she died. The old woman gave Nathan their mother's journal, believing that they could finish what their mother had started. Before she could call off the police who had responded to the break in, the sickly old woman passes. After escaping from the police, Nate realized that they could not go back to their lives.

Sam suggested that they leave their old lives and start new ones with new identities. In honor of their mother's belief that Sir Francis Drake had heirs, he and Nate adopt "Drake" as their surname. Sam believed that both he and Nate were destined to do great things, though he initially didn't know exactly what.

He decides to dedicate his life to finishing his mother's work, and convinces Nate to join him. Throughout the early-to-mid s, Sam and Nate stuck together throughout the years and went on several adventures and expeditions as they traveled together.

At one point, however, Sam wound up in prison somewhere leaving Nate by himself in Cartagena, Columbia to search for the astrolabe belonging to Sir Francis Drake where he met Victor Sullivan. Sam eventually befriended Victor, although unlike his brother never trusted him, the two maintained an uneasy alliance as they often did not meet eye-to-eye on several occasions, according to Samuel it is suggested that Victor may have double-crossed him in the past.

In order to conduct their search, they needed to gain access to a centuries-old fort in a Panamanian jail, which in the past had housed Burnes, a shipmate of Avery's. The trio gain entry to the tower with the help of the corrupt warden, Vargas , who Rafe had bribed. Nate tells them that Vargas, knowing they are after a large sum of money after reading a note meant for Nate, demanded a cut of the loot.

Sam, Nate, and Rafe head to the laundry room to look over the cross that Nate found in Burnes' cell. The cross, instead of depicting Jesus, instead resembles the penitent thief crucified beside him, Saint Dismas. Sam declares that there is a St Dismas' cathedral in Scotland, near Avery's last resting place.

They go to leave but are ambushed by a gang of inmates, one of whom Nate had an earlier altercation with. They fight before being rescued by Vargas, who takes them to his office. Despite coming to an agreement, albeit reluctantly, Rafe kills Vargas with a shiv. Vargas manages to fire his gun, alerting the nearby guards. The brothers and Rafe then begin their escape plan, though now with the guards on high alert.

Once they get to a high building separating them from freedom, a pole collapses from Nate's weight as he traverses the rooftops. Separated from Nate and Rafe, Sam jumps and Nate catches him. As Nate pulls his brother up, three consecutive bullets hit Sam in the back. Horrified, Nate watches as Sam coughs up blood before going limp and falling, seemingly to his death.

Nate reluctantly leaves with Rafe. Sam, however, survived the gunshots and the fall. The guards took him to the infirmary, had him treated and returned him to his cell, the guards also blocked attempts by Nate to reach him, by sending leads making him believe he Sam died and vice-versa in retaliation for Vargas' death. After fifteen years, Sam was released once Rafe, who was still looking for Avery's treasure, found out he was still alive.

After bribing the warden to let Sam free, the two worked together for two years, scouring every inch of the Saint Dismas cathedral in Scotland. Sam bided his time, making certain he had every clue that Rafe did before double-crossing the latter and stealing his work out from under him and vanishing. Once he had laid the groundwork and discovered a second Saint Dismas cross up for auction via the internet, Sam went to find Nate.

Sam finds him at his place of work early one morning, shocking and delighting his brother. With a three-month deadline, Sam insists that he needs his brother's help. Nate initially refuses, citing that he is retired and that Rafe has spent the last fifteen years looking and has not yet found it.

Sam reveals that he has located the key to finding the treasure, another St Dismas cross. Nate tries to convince him to use one of his contacts, though Sam says that he only trusts Nate. Nate relents, coming out of retirement to help his brother. They first head to the Rossi Estate in Italy , where the black market auction is being held. After infiltrating the compound and meeting up with Victor Sullivan , they discover that the cross is already up for bidding, leading them to believe the lot order has been changed.

Coming to the conclusion they need to steal the cross in plain view, Sam suggests killing the lights so they may do so under cover of darkness. In agreement, and deciding Sam should be the one to take it, the trio consult their blueprints of the estate and divvy up their responsibilities. Sam will disguise himself as a waiter in order to get close to the cross without arousing suspicion, and Nate will head to the cell tower in order to turn off the lights.

Nate pickpockets a sommelier for his key card and uses it to open an electronically locked door. He and Sam venture further into the building while Sully stays in the ballroom as a lookout. Sam and Nate sneak their way through the vents and storage rooms, ending up outside. After Nate lowers a ladder for them to climb up, a waiter walks outside for a smoke break and sees him.

Sam knocks him unconscious and drags him inside to take his uniform. As a properly disguised Sam returns to the ballroom and situates himself near the cross, Nate continues toward the power room.

Eventually, the power goes out and Sam takes the cross seconds before the emergency lights kick in. Sam escapes with Sully. Along the way, they split up so that Sully can retrieve the car. Traversing the rooftops and finding Nate under attack by armed guards, Sam tosses him a gun and tells him to meet up in the ballroom. Later, Nate makes his entrance by crashing through the window. Together, Sam and Nate fight their way through the ballroom and out the back door, jumping into the getaway car driven by Sully.

Back at their hotel, Sam breaks open the Saint Dismas cross with a hammer. Initially pretending it's empty as the first was, he then reveals a piece of rolled-up parchment hidden inside.

Inscribed on the paper is a picture of a tombstone and a Latin phrase. Realizing what they are looking for is still in Scotland, just not where Rafe has been digging, the trio make plans to go there. As Nate goes out on the balcony to call Elena and lie about where they are headed, Sully and Sam talk about him. Sully is worried that Sam is disrupting Nate's domestic life and feeding his obsession. Sam refutes this, then passive-aggressively asks why Sully's with them.

Sully claims someone has to be there to watch over Nate, silencing Sam. Nate returns after ending the phone call, and the three prepare to leave. Out in the highlands, Sam and Nate look over their map of the area. Sully stays with his seaplane, keeping in contact via radio.
