Nathan Drake: Character Overview

Dive into Uncharted 4: A Thief's End with our guide to Nathan Drake! Learn about his past as a treasure hunter and his return to adventure.

Alright, let's talk about the guy you'll be playing as for most of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End: Nathan Drake. You know, Nate. He's the guy who's supposedly descended from Sir Francis Drake, and for a long time, he made his living as a treasure hunter and, well, a bit of a thief. Think of him as Indiana Jones, but with more wisecracks and a knack for getting into impossible situations.

For a while there, Nate had actually retired from the adventuring life. He was working a pretty normal gig at a salvage company called Jameson Marine. It seemed like he was finally settling down, leaving the dusty tombs and ancient ruins behind. But as you'll see, 'normal' doesn't stick around for long in Nate's world.

The whole retirement party gets crashed when his older brother, Samuel Drake, shows up out of the blue. Sam's appearance is the catalyst that throws Nate right back into the treasure-hunting game, and it's all to save Sam's own life. So, get ready, because Nate's about to be pulled back into the adventure he tried so hard to leave behind, all for family.
