Learn about Samuel Drake, Nate's older brother and partner in adventure, in our Uncharted 4: A Thief's End guide. Discover his role and motivations.

So, you want to know about Sam Drake, huh? He's Nate's older brother, by about five years, and honestly, they're pretty different guys. The one thing they definitely share, though? A massive obsession with treasure and going on crazy adventures. Sam's the kind of guy who's always dragging Nate into some dangerous mess, but he's also the first one there to pull Nate out of it. He's a key part of why Nate gets back into the treasure hunting game.

It all kicks off because Sam needs Nate's help to save his own skin. They end up on this massive hunt for Captain Henry Avery's legendary lost treasure. This quest takes them all over the place, to some seriously exotic and dangerous spots. It's basically the catalyst that pulls Nate back into the life he tried to leave behind after the events of Uncharted 3.
