"Oh crap!"

— Nathan Drake

Nathan "Nate" Drake is an American treasure hunter and fortune seeker, deep-sea salvage expert, action-pro, professional thief, the playable protagonist, and the only character to appear in nearly every form of media for the Uncharted series. (Besides Drake's Trail, in which he is mentioned but does not actually 'appear'). Nate claims to be the descendant of famous English explorer Sir Francis Drake. He is married to journalist Elena Fisher as of the end of the latest game, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Nate is voiced and motion captured by Nolan North.

ChildhoodEdit

Nathan Drake was not actually born "Nathan Drake"; he created this name (or a part of it) for himself when he was older. His real name is unknown. By the time Drake turned five, his mother had committed suicide and his father relinquished custody of him to the state. Drake ended up in the Saint Francis Boys' Home, where he was raised by nuns and taught Latin. As he grew up, Nate developed a fascination with Sir Francis Drake and history. He eventually ran away from the home and ended up in Colombia.

Drake eventually visited Cartagena's Maritime Museum to see an exhibition of Francis Drake related objects, including his ring and astrolabe. Drake intended to steal- or as he later put it, "reclaim" the ring, but the case was locked. As Drake drew and took notes on the ring and astrolabe, Victor Sullivan walked into the exhibit hall.

Drake moved onto to another display, but observed Sullivan from a distance. Without the guards noticing, Sullivan made an impression of the key's lock in order to create a key to the display case. Drake witnessed all of this, and decided to tail Sullivan in order to discover what he was up to. Sullivan went to a locksmith and had a key of the display case made. Realizing Sullivan intended to steal the ring, Drake decided to steal his key. Eventually, Sullivan joined up with Katherine Marlowe and walked to a street bar with her. While Sullivan was distracted by Marlowe, Drake pick pocketed his wallet and took the key.

Sullivan however, intercepted Nate, demanding his wallet back. Sullivan complimented Nate on his skills, but noted that he was too sloppy, stating he knew that Nate had been tailing him all over town. Nevertheless, Sullivan pitied him, and let him go. The wallet was returned; unbeknownst to Sullivan however, Nate had kept the key to the display case, and headed to the museum to get the ring.

Nate successfully opened the display case once he got to the museum, and discovered that the ring could be placed in the astrolabe. But before Drake could examine the objects further, Sullivan, Marlowe, and her agents entered the room and surrounded Drake. Marlowe took the astrolabe, but Drake refused to give her the ring; denying that there even was a ring. Marlowe slapped Drake in the face, and Sullivan, pitying Drake, attempted to restrain her. Drake took this moment to make a break for it, and ran to the Museum's rooftops in order to escape. Marlowe's guards soon pursued Drake, but Sullivan intervened on multiple occasions in order to protect Drake.

Eventually, one of the guards cornered Drake at gunpoint. While Drake was armed as well, he was too scared to shoot. Sullivan shot the guard down, and brought Drake to a tavern and fed him. Sullivan attempted to get Drake's name, but he continuously dodged his answer. Sullivan then asked him what interest Drake had in the ring. Drake claimed to be a descendant of Francis Drake, knowing that while he didn't have any children with his wife, he could have conceived a child on one of his adventures. Drake explained that Sir Francis Drake's ring was given to him by Queen Elizabeth when he was knighted in 1581, and how he traveled the entire world. He went on to explain that Drake had sailed through the East Indies, allegedly taking 6 months to do so. Nate believed this couldn't be true given Drake's excellent sailing skills and deduced that it would've taken him a month tops. Nate believed that because of this, Drake was hiding something. What was hidden was believed to be some secret mission from the queen, or an immense amount of treasure that hadn't been recovered yet. It is for this reason Nate wanted the ring and decoder. However, it was at a stalemate since Nate has the ring and Marlowe has the decoder.

Sullivan, impressed by Drake's skills and potential, offered to take him under his wing and teach him his skills. Sullivan introduced himself as 'Sully', and Drake gave Sullivan his name. The two worked together over the next few years as Nate matured into an adult, initially as mentor and pupil but later closer to father and son. Nate learned and perfected many skills from Sully, including handling guns and how to dealing with clients and other treasure hunters - including a healthy sense of distrust. Even though Nate will work alone with his own network of contacts, their shared history keeps bringing him back into a partnership with Sully.

Uncharted: Golden AbyssEdit

Nate teams up with old friends Jason Dante and Marisa Chase to discover the fate of a Spanish expedition which vanished over 420 years ago.

Uncharted: The Fourth LabyrinthEdit

New YorkEdit

After completing a job in Ecuador (stealing the Staff of Ayr Manco and rescuing hostage Alex Munoz from drug runner Ramón Valdez), Nate is called to New York by Sully to investigate the murder of Sully's old friend Luka Hzujak. Sully wants to help Luka's daughter (and his god-daughter) Jada find out who killed Luka and why. Nate agrees to help, and learns that before his death Luka worked on a secret project for weapons company Phoenix Innovations, supposedly on the trail of a lost treasure. From what Luka told Jada before he died, the project has something to do with the ancient labyrinth on Crete, the source of the Minotaur legend, designed by Greek mythic figure Daedalus.

They go to an exhibition on ancient labyrinths at a nearby museum to speak to an expert, Dr Maynard P Cheney, and arrive seconds after Cheney was stabbed to death. A graduate student, Gretchen Welch, explains that Luka spoke to Cheney about an excavation in Egypt where her brother is a site manager before traveling out there. She confirms that Luka believed both labyrinths were designed by Daedalus, and that Luka also believed there was a third. Nate, Sully and Jada depart the museum, and an attempt to search Luka's apartment is derailed when the entire building burns down before they get there. From the building, they are pursued by a black SUV until Nate manages to lose it, and they leave America for the next step on the trail - the dig site in Egypt.

EgyptEdit

In Egypt, a search of the hotel room where Luka stayed on his visit reveals his journal, concealed within an air conditioning unit. It confirms Luka's theories surrounding Daedalus and the Mistress of the Labyrinth, and states that Henriksen is not interested in the first three labyrinths - he wants the treasure in the Fourth. That night Nate, Sully and Jada have dinner with Ian Welch, who agreed to meet them after the call from his sister, and he explains that Luka's theories are supported by evidence from the dig site, including references to alchemy, a mysterious honey and how the Mistress of the Labyrinth received more tribute than all the other gods combined. The dinner date is interrupted when Jada's stepmother, Olivia, arrives looking for her. She claims to be concerned for her and afraid of Henriksen, but Jada refuses to speak to her and marches out of the restaurant when Nate and Sully invite Olivia to talk. Nate follows, and finds Jada being kidnapped by suited men. In the ensuing fight, men dressed in black hooded robes appear and kill the thugs, leaving the warning 'go home' to Jada. In the confusion, Ian left having agreed to get them into the dig, and Olivia mysteriously disappeared.

Nate, Sully and Jada meet Ian the next day at the dig site - The Labyrinth of Sobek - and learn that Tyr Henriksen has taken over funding of the dig and is being shown around. They have time to examine the central chamber while Henriksen views the above-ground facilities, and while they do so Nate uncovers references to the Minotaur and a secret passage beneath the altar. Inside, they find a deformed human skeleton wearing a horned headdress, and three separate worship chambers each dedicated to different gods and decorated with ancient scripts. The chamber dedicated to Sobek is decorated with Egyptian hieroglyphics, while a chamber decorated in Cretan script (or Linear A) is dedicated to Dionysus, obviously representing the labyrinth on Crete. The third chamber, however, is decorated in a script Ian deduces to be an unknown variant of the Linear B script, and what he can translate reveals the chamber is dedicated to Poseidon, and the third labyrinth is on the island of Thera. They are interrupted (again) by an attack by the hooded men, who kidnap Ian and drive the others back to the altar chamber, where Tyr Henriksen, Olivia and security guards await them. Jada pretends to be glad to see Olivia, and convinces them to let her go outside for some air, escorted by Nate and Sully.

SantoriniEdit

As soon as they leave the dig Nate, Sully and Jada leave the dig and go straight to their car. They travel to the Santorini archipealgo in the Aegean Sea, all that remains of Thera after a volcano on the island erupted. Using Luka's journal, they find the entrance to the third labyrinth beneath a medieval fortress, as well as the safe route towards the centre. Along the way, they find extensive damage to the labyrinth by the eruption and successive earthquakes, which has allowed the sea to flood some caves. At one point, they are forced to double back - and find that Henriksen, Olivia and some thugs have been following them. Henriksen is shocked by their accusation that he murdered Luka, and reveals he thinks it may have been another warning to 'go home'. He also admits Olivia's charade about being afraid of him was to try and find out what they knew - but that isn't necessary now.

Henriksen is about to order Nate, Sully and Jada to lead them to the centre at gunpoint, when they are again attacked by the hooded men. This time, however, they kidnap Sully and drag him deeper into the labyrinth. Nate and Jada immediately pursue them, following them all the way to the central chamber, where they ultimately lose their quarry. Nate opens the secret door, hoping to find evidence of the Fourth Labyrinth. Like in Egypt, there are worship chambers in the secret passage, although two of them have collapsed into a sea cave. However, while in Egypt there were only three chambers, here there are four. One of the two is dedicated to Dionysus, while the other is dedicated to an unknown god and decorated in Chinese writing.

Henriksen's group catches up with them, and while Olivia examines the chamber Nate agrees with Henriksen to settle their differences later. Olivia deduces the Fourth Labyrinth is in China, and is based on the Chinese hell - Diyu. She theorises that all the treasure was moved there after Daedalus was chased off Crete, the priests abandoned the Labyrinth of Sobek and the volcano destroyed Thera. As the treasure was moved, the fourth chamber was built to honour the fourth god, although something stopped Daedalus adding four chambers to the other two labyrinths. The discussion is interrupted by a rumbling throughout the labyrinth, as the hooded men detonate explosives to collapse the medieval fortress over the entrance and trap them within. Nate, however, realises there is another way out and leads the others to the sea cave. He stows a radio and his clothes in a waterproof pack, and swims out alone to find a safe path. Once he finds one leading out to the open ocean, he goes back and helps the others get out.

Together, Nate and Jada travel with Henriksen and Olivia to China, and they share their reseach. Daedalus was a con-man, who would convince kings and priests to let him build the labyrinth as the ultimate treasury - only to steal the gold once it was safely placed in the centre. While the labyrinth on Thera was being built, a fourth ruler fell for the con and ordered construction of a fourth labyrinth in Yiajing, China - modern-day Nanjing. However, Daedalus died before construction of the fourth labyrinth was complete, so his nephew Talos took over the con and must have halted the addition of four chambers to earlier labyrinths. He altered the design of the fourth labyrinth and demanded an army of slaves to build it. Olivia also reveals that a flower motif discovered in earlier labyrinths represents the extinct plant White Hellebore, but they don't know it's significance in relation to the labyrinths.

ChinaEdit

Before they land, they discover that their co-pilot has been somehow brainwashed by the hooded men to kill both the pilot and himself, but Henriksen is able to land the plane safely and they are eventually released by Chinese police after the intervention of staff from the Norwegian and American embassies. A call to one of Nate's contacts, Margaret Xin, reveals a likely location for the Fourth Labyrinth - the only place in Nanjing without underground transport tunnels is an ancient site where excavation has been banned by the Chinese government. Using Luka's journal, the photos from the worship chambers and the historical record, they find the entrance to the labyrinth and Nate deduces that the path to the centre will be marked with tracks from dragging all the gold there. Along the way, they find that the extinct White Hellebore is still alive and well within the labyrinth.

In a cavern with a mural showing the Mistress of the Labyrinth offering seven slaves a chalice, Olivia plays her hand and reveals the mercenaries Henriksen hired have been loyal to her all along. In the midst of an attack by the hooded men - or the Protectors of the Hidden Word - Nate, Jada and Henriksen escape together, and Henriksen explains he's been researching the labyrinths for years. The White Hellebore is used to make a solution, the honey, that can render a man docile and obedient, but will sometimes trigger mutations when ingested - creating the Minotaurs. This honey was also known as the Hidden Word, and he thinks Daedalus used it to con workers into believing he was paying them in gold to reinforce the idea he was valuable to rulers. The treasure Henriksen was searching for was the secret of the White Hellebore, to sell it to the highest bidder, while Olivia will probably use it to make rulers her puppets. Nate, Jada and Henriksen decide to continue to the centre, each for their own reasons.

As they close on the centre, they come under attack from six Protectors, one of whom is immediately killed by Henriksen, revealing his identity as Ian Welch - brainwashed with the honey to protect the labyrinth. Nate is attacked by Sully, also brainwashed, and the two tumble into an underground river where they fight. Nate knocks Sully out and carries him to the bank while Jada and Henriksen deal with the other Protectors before carrying Sully further into the labyrinth, to the centre. Jada opens the secret passage - and the Minotaur charges out to attack, leaving Nate and Henriksen when Olivia arrives and orders her mercenaries to fire upon it. At this point, Sully has woken up, but remains disorientated, and Nate and Jada drag him into the secret passage. There they find the last Mistress of the Labyrinth, ministering to a dying Minotaur. She orders her guards to attack, but Nate and Henriksen hold them off long enough for Olivia to kill the younger Minotaur and come to them. She and her last few mercenaries kill the guards, only for the Mistress to attack and kill Henriksen before being shot herself.

Olivia examines the chamber, looking at the gold piled around the walls, and the three tombs in the centre. She picks up a gold Minotaur statue, which triggers a trap and floods the secret chamber. Sully, now more aware and back to his old self, pulls Jada out of the chamber while Nate goes after Olivia. However, the Minotaur seizes her and drags her beneath the water to drown, while Nate escapes. Nate, Sully and Jada leave the labyrinth, aware nobody else will discover it and the White Hellebore while the ban on excavation remains in place.

Soon after, Nate, Sully and Jada attend Luka's funeral in New York. As Jada leaves to talk with her relatives after thanking Nate and Sully, Sully tells Nate about a friend's cousin who recently left the Vatican, and brought with him a map to the lost Inca city of Paititi. Sully states that, if anybody were to find Paititi, he'd rather it be him and Nate. Nate agrees - it looks like they're headed to Peru.

Uncharted: Eye of IndraEdit

Episode 1Edit

Nathan Drake is tied to a chair, being tortured in Indonesia by American crimelord Daniel Pinkerton.

One week earlier Nathan Drake was hired by Pinkerton to locate the Eye of Indra, Nathan happily agrees; knowing that we would be compensated handsomely. The Eye of Indra was a valuable artifact which holds the secret to the Three Treasures of Indra. Pinkerton shows a piece of paper to Nathan showing the three pieces of Indra. He walks over to a box, unlocking it, hidden there was two of the three pieces of Indra he had possessed: the Path of Indra and the Wrath of Indra.

While Nate is looking over the documents Pinkerton gave him in a bar, two thugs pick a fight with him. As it escalates, the fight is broken up by Rika, the owner of the bar. Nate asks Rika to help him by translating the documents. In Rika's bedroom, the two discover that the Eye is in fact hidden within the other two treasures, which are locked inside Pinkerton's safe. Rather than inform Pinkerton that he already has the Eye, Nate instead chooses to rob him of the artifact.

Episode 2Edit

Nate is still being tortured, and refusing to break. Flashbacks reveal that the next morning, Nate is concerned about allowing Rika to help him rob Pinkerton. To Nate's surprise, Rika reveals she has already told somebody about the job, and as they argue, armed pirates storm through the door and attack. Nate tries to reach for his gun but both he and Rika are aprehended while fighting the intruders. The leader of the pirates enters the room; Eddy Raja, Nate's old rival, and both are equally confused as to how they have met up again. It is revealed that Eddy is the person Rika told about the job, as he is her brother and can provide weaponry. Eddy realizes that Nate and Rika have slept together, prompting him to fly into a rage and threaten to kill Nate.

Presently, Pinkerton also has Eddy tied to the chair. As Pinkerton prepares to torture them further, Eddy warns Nate not to tell him anything.

Episode 3Edit

With everybody calmed down, Nate, Eddy and Rika discuss the plan. Nate demands that they follow his rules if Eddy is to help. After Eddy leaves, Rika apologizes for telling him and asks how they know each other, Nate explains how Eddy had planned to double-cross him on a past job, but he had "beat him to the punch."

In the present, Pinkerton tortures Eddy, who laughs and hints that he and Nate have an accomplice.

Flashing back again, some time later, the three gather outside Pinkerton's mansion at night, ready for the heist. Eddy and Nate persuade Rika to stay behind and cover them. To create a distraction, Eddy blows up Pinkerton's cars, and they both sneak into the mansion amid the confusion.

In the present, Pinkerton has his men bring in Rika, captured, and tells them that they'd be wise to reveal the location of the Eye.

Episode 4Edit

Pinkerton threatens to kill Rika, so Nate tells him that the Eye of Indra is hidden in the safe. Returning to the flashback, Nate and Eddy have been discovered in the mansion, and are in a gunfight with Pinkerton's guards. After battling their way through to the office and barracading themselves inside, Eddy plants an explosive on the safe. However, the detonator is broken, and all the others were used on the cars. As they bicker about the situation, Rika informs Nate via wakie-talkie that Pinkerton and more of his goons are headed his way. Shortly after, they are captured.

With Pinkerton briefly distracted looking at the Eye of Indra, Rika breaks loose and take's Eddy's Golden Gun, which had been concealed beneath a table. She shoots Pinkerton, wounding him. A flashback to forty-five minutes prior reveals Nate had an idea: get caught. Eddy suggests to simply kill the guards, but as Nate was out of bullets, and Eddy only had one clip left, they had no other option. Nate explains to a dying Pinkerton that they needed him to open the safe after the detonator failed, thus his plan was to be interrogated, and for Rika to get herself captured and use the gun they had concealed to kill Pinkerton and his guards. Rika then executes Pinkerton, and the three of them escape.

Later, the trio stand at a dock discussing a fine job. However, Rika betrays both Nate and Eddy by taking the amulet for herself, holding them at gunpoint and repeating Nate's earlier statement, that she simply "beat him to the punch". Nate assures Rika that he will find her, and she replies that she will look forward to it. As they watch her sail away, Eddy orders Nate not to say a word.

Three days later, Nate relaxes at a beach bar, telling Victor Sullivan of the recent events. Sully finds the story amusing and tells Nate that he should have known better than to have teamed up with Eddy, or any of his family, but questions how Nate now plans to find Francis Drake's coffin without any money. Nate reveals he does actually have a plan, though he will be needing Sully's help this time. Pointing to a television featuring a report by Elena Fisher, Nate tells him he is meeting her tomorrow, and the best part is that Elena's producers have agreed to fund the whole expedition. Sully laughs and says he'll believe it when he sees it.

Uncharted: Drake's FortuneEdit

The Search for El DoradoEdit

"Well, we don't actually have a permit to be here..."

— Nate replies to Elena

Drake and journalist Elena Fisher recover the coffin of Francis Drake from the ocean floor. Elena is with him to record the events for a documentary. When Nate opens the coffin, they discover a diary written by Sir Francis Drake that points to the location of El Dorado, the fabled city of gold which Sir Francis was searching for. They also learn that Sir Francis had faked his death, as there was no body in the coffin. Shortly after, pirates appear and start attacking Nate and Elena's boat. Just when the boat is starting to catch fire, Victor "Sully" Sullivan, Nate's old friend and father figure, saves them with his plane, the Hog Wild, and takes them to shore.

Back on land, Sully and Nate leave Elena behind after fearing that her publishing the documentary would attract rivals and travel to a region in the Amazon, where they find ruins of an ancient South American civilization, and clues that El Dorado is a large gold statue, and that it was removed long ago by the Spaniards. Searching further, Nate and Sully discover a long-abandoned German U-boat stuck in a river containing its dead crew and a missing page from Sir Francis Drake's diary that points to a southern tropic island where El Dorado was likely taken.

Before they can leave the island, Nate and Sully encounter Gabriel Roman, another treasure hunter who has hired the services of mercenaries led by Atoq Navarro, Roman's lieutenant and an archaeologist with knowledge of the statue. Roman then shoots Sully in the chest and Nate escapes. As he escapes, he encounters Elena, and they then head to Sully's plane and fly to the Island where the statue is believed to be.

Plane-wreckedEdit

"Great start Nate."

— Nate talks to himself.

Having been shot down near the island and separated, Nate works his way to a fort where he spots Elena's parachute. He is soon captured by the pirates from the beginning of the game, who are revealed to be led by Eddy Raja. Elena rescues Nate and flee the fort from Eddy and his pirates. The two work their way through a long-abandoned port city and discover, through a log book in its customs house, that the statue was moved further inland; as Elena spots the supposedly dead Sully working with Roman and Navarro, heading north, they decide to follow him to the monastery. There they locate hidden passages, and rescue Sully, who survived thanks to the journal blocking the bullet, and played along to fool his captors.

Nate and Elena find a series of catacombs below the monastery. In these tunnels, Nate overhears an argument between Roman, Navarro, and Eddy, who was hired by Roman as well in order to aid in the capture of Nate and the security of the island all with the reward of a share of the gold of El Dorado. Roman doubts Eddy's abilities to do his job further and ignores his superstitious claim that something cursed on the island is killing his men; Roman dismisses Eddy and his crew.

Going UndergroundEdit

Traveling through more of the underground tunnels, Nate and Elena find a passage leading to a large treasure vault in which they find Sir Francis Drake's body, assuming that he died on the island searching for the treasure. Before they move on, they encounter Eddy running for his life, chased by mutated humans possessing incredible speed and strength. After Eddy is killed by the creatures, Nate and Elena escape and find themselves in an abandoned German submarine base. Nate ventures out into the base to restore power to allow them to leave. During his exploration, he discovers that the Germans had sought the statue during World War II but, like the Spaniards before them, were mutated by the statue. Sir Francis, knowing the statue's power, was actually trying to keep it on the island, before he too was killed by the descendants.

ShowdownEdit

Nate attempts to return to Elena, but finds her captured by Roman and Navarro. As Nate follows Roman and Navarro to save Elena, he reunites with Sully outside of the monastery. Under the monastery, Nate and Sully are captured at gunpoint and find that Roman has the statue. Navarro urges Roman to open it; inside is the Mummy of El Dorado. As Roman opens the statue, he inhales an airborne virus that is carried by the rotting corpse and begins to mutate. Navarro shoots the mutating Roman, who planned all along to steal the statue and sell the virus as a weapon. Navarro then has the statue lifted out by helicopter as his mercenaries are attacked by Descendants. Nate jumps onto the net the statue is in and they crash land on a tanker ship. Nate and Navarro fight, knocking him unconscious. After Nate pulls an injured Elena from the helicopter, Navarro regains consciousness; Nate pushes the helicopter off the tanker. The rope connecting the helicopter to the statue, which has become tangled around his leg, plunges Navarro and the statue into the ocean.

Nate and Elena lean in to kiss but are interrupted by Sully, who arrives on a small speedboat, having escaped the island and taken several boxes of treasure he found in the cave and took from dead pirates. Elena reminds Nate that because she lost her camera, he still owes her a story. As the boat sails towards the horizon, Nate assures her he will not break his promise.

Uncharted (comic)Edit

This section contains spoilers.

JungleEdit

The comic begins with Nathan Drake standing on top of a Second World War-era plane sinking into a lava flow, before flashing back to Nate and Harry Flynn in a gunfight in an unnamed tropical country. Escaping with the treasure, they return to their hotel to divide the spoils, and Nate lets Flynn keep the gold - he only wants a book. As Flynn leaves, Sully arrives - he and Nate have been working together to retrieve the book for the Ludlows, but they've got some time to kill before handing it over, and Nate is intrigued by the fact that the book is written in code. He cracks the code the next morning, and discovers the book is in fact the journal of Richard Evelyn Byrd, and describes how the Russians hired him towards the end of the Second World War to hide the Amber Room in a safe place until the war was over. The journal states that Byrd hid the Room in the underground city of Agartha, which he had discovered on an earlier flight to the Arctic. The coordinates of the entrance to Agartha were engraved (in code) on the back of the Amber Seal, a panel from the Amber Room that Byrd took to prove he'd had it. Unfortunately, that too was lost in the war.

Nate and Sully then meet with Michael and Rose Ludlow, a brother and sister, to hand over the journal. The pair take an interest in Nate's ancestry, and let slip that they plan to acquire the Amber Seal at an auction. As the two return to their yacht, Sully and Nate resolve to steal the Amber Seal and find the Amber Room before they do.

UkraineEdit

Using Sully's underground contacts, they discover that the Amber Seal is being auctioned at Volkov Castle by its owner, Russian crime lord Mykola Rusnak. Nate and Sully plan to break in and steal it, and during the planning stages of the theft they need to perform a recce of the castle. While Nate does that, noting down anything that could cause a problem, he suddenly finds a gun pressed to the back of his head - a gun held by Chloe Frazer. She orders Nate to get down on his knees, and he takes advantage of that to throw dirt in her face, escaping in the confusion.

The next day, Nate and Sully attend the auction in disguise and observe that both Rusnak and the Ludlows are present. Sully eavesdrops while Nate goes after the Seal in the safe, and learns that the Seal is actually in another area of the castle to be sold the next day. Rusnak catches Nate about to break into the safe, but Chloe intervenes, apparently working with Rusnak, and convinces him Nate just got lost. Nate and Sully leave immediately, but return that night to steal the Amber Seal.

Sully remains outside with a radio while Nate goes after the Amber Seal - only to run into Chloe again. They agree a brief truce, and when they find the Amber Seal Nate gets the coded coordinates from the back - but when Chloe lifts it off its podium she triggers an alarm. The two escape from the castle, only for Chloe to leave the Amber Seal with Nate as she runs. Nate discovers that Sully has been kidnapped by the Ludlows, who escort Nate to a secure location and force him to give them the coordinates of Agartha. The siblings briefly argue when Rose begins talking about Byrd's description of Agartha - an underground city lit by an artificial sun, with advanced technology and smoking gods. Michael appears to be in it only for the Amber Room, and reveals that he and his sister are descendents of Thomas Doughty - a friend of Francis Drake who was executed for treason on Drake's evidence - and they want revenge. Now they have the coordinates, they leave Nate and Sully to await the arrival or Rusnak and the mob. Nate manages to escape his bonds, and after he unties Sully they leave - and walk right into Rusnak.

Rusnak sets Nate and Sully up as a firing squad, complete with blindfolds, and demands to know where the Amber Seal it. He refuses to believe the stories of Agartha, and is about to kill Sully when Chloe arrives and catches his men by surprise long enough to drive them off and free Nate and Sully. In the ensuing car chase, Rusnak ends up going over the edge of a cliff. Afterwards, Nate and Sully agree to work with Chloe to find Agartha and the Amber Room - which Sully suspects is purely because Nate is attracted to her.

The ArcticEdit

Nate, Sully and Chloe find the airstrip where the Ludlows are based, with their plane waiting outside the hangar. Nate, Sully and Chloe sneak aboard to find the journal and the Amber Seal, safe in the knowledge that Nate gave them coordinates which are slightly out. Unfortunately, the Ludlows return to the plane at the wrong moment and capture them. Using Chloe as the bargaining chip, the Ludlows force Nate and Sully to fly the plane to the correct coordinates.

After facing some turbulence, the plane lands in an underground cavern, surrounded by the remains of Byrd's camp. The Amber Room is there as well - but smashed and worthless. In despair, Michael goes to kill Nate, but Rose intervenes to point out the huge doors carved into the wall of the cave - the entrance to Agartha. Michael orders Sully to repair the damage done on landing while Rose tries to persuade him to enter Agartha, but Michael refuses and returns to his original plan to kill Nate - only to discover that he and Chloe have already opened the doors and entered the caverns beyond.

Nate and Chloe press deeper into the caves, crossing a lava-filled chasm on a bridge made of a World War Two-era plane before Michael and Rose catch them. Nate interrupts Michael, telling him to run, but it's too late - the darkness around them is suddenly filled with glowing eyes.

AgarthaEdit

Nate, Chloe, Michael and Rose escape the Smoking Gods to the main cavern of Agartha - a cave filled with buildings, and the Second Sun embedded in the far wall. Chloe notices one of the Agarthan flying machines Byrd described, but they are interrupted by Michael trying to kill Nate again. He, in turn, is interrupted by Chloe trying to stop him, resulting in a fight between her and Rose - which Rose wins when she gets hold of her gun.

Michael has Nate and Chloe sit against the walls at the foot of the steps leading to the Second Sun, which close up they can see is a wall of shining diamonds, glowing due to the lava flowing just beyond them. Rose is entranced by their beauty, provoking another argument with her brother. Michael wants to get an army to stake a claim to Agartha, but she refuses and shoots him, before removing a single large diamond from the wall. This causes a breach and allows the lava to begin flowing through, flooding the city. Rose is incinerated as Nate and Chloe begin to run.

The lava flooding the city brings out all the Smoking Gods, but drowns most of them while Nate and Chloe escape through a tunnel back towards Sully and the plane. One Smoking God pursues them, and Nate throws it into a lava flow to prevent it killing Chloe - but ends up on a rock floating in the lava flow himself. Chloe can't reach him, but has an idea and leaves him. Nate hops from rock to rock, ending up on the Second World War-era plane seen at the start of the comic. He's about to sink into the lava when Sully and Chloe arrive in their plane, and Chloe pulls him aboard. Sully is able to fly the plane out of the cave system, but it is caught in the volcanic eruption as the lava pursues them and crashes into the sea.

The trio wash up in an unknown tropical country, and they take the opportunity to relax. While Sully chats up beautiful young women, Nate and Chloe spend the night together, and when Nate wakes up in the morning he finds a message from her - See you around, cowboy. No regrets. Her true goal was to capture images of the Agarthan flying machines, and get them to her employer whom she identifies as Roman.

Nate and Sully meet at the dock the next morning, with Sully observing that they probably haven't seen the last of Chloe. In the meantime, he's got a job lined up for them in the States. Nate asks if he's done a background check on their clients, as he doesn't want a repeat of the Ludlows. Sully doesn't think they have a problem with Sir Francis Drake - as they're Japanese. The two set off on a rusty boat - which was all Sully could afford as they didn't exactly walk away from Agartha with a lot of treasure. Nate points out that they did walk away - sometimes that's enough.

Uncharted 2: Among ThievesEdit

Train-wreckedEdit

" that's my blood, that's my blood, that's a lot of my blood "

— Nathan Drake talking to himself in the wrecked train.

Nathan Drake wakes up in Medias Res; bloody he sits in one of the benches passengers in a train accident when suddenly debris falls on him. The debris results in the train being tilted over snowy mountains, causing him to almost fall out, but he hangs at the end of the train.

Nathan Drake, still in the mountains, gets up and continues his way through the debris of the train. After a few climbs, Nathan finds the Phurba planted in the snow, before blacking out.

In a flashback three months ago, Nathan relaxes at a bar counter, soon being joined by Harry Flynn and Chloe Frazer, who offered him a job. He explains that the Istanbul Palace Museum contains an oil lamp that was brought back by Marco Polo from his travels in Asia. Flynn hands him a piece of text written by Marco Polo, although the text is written in Latin in the 13th century Nathan manages to read. Nathan accepts the job; after knowing that it may lead to the treasures in Marco polo’s lost fleet. After accepting the job, Nathans sits in his room, soon accompanied by Chloe and have a love scene

Museum BustEdit

"Thanks for the update Captain Obvious"

— Nate, addressing Flynn.

Drake, Chloe and Flynn arrive on the coast by boat to enter through the sewers to get into the the Istanbul Palace Museum. Once in the tower they successfully seize the lamp, Drake breaks the object on the ground to find a blank parchment, and resin that when burned reveals the next clue in his search for the Cintamani Stone . Taking the map, Flynn double-crosses Drake, who is arrested and imprisoned for three months before Chloe, who claims to have had no knowledge of Flynn's treachery, asks for the help of Drake's friend Victor Sullivan to secure his release.

BorneoEdit

Accompanied by Chloe, Victor tells Nathan that a war criminal and Flynn have found the lost fleet of Marco Polo in Borneo, but they have not yet got hold of the Chintamani Stone.

Nate and Sully follow Flynn and his boss Zoran Lazarevic, a war criminal who is widely thought to be dead, to Borneo. With the help of Chloe working within Lazarevic's camp as a mole, they discover that the lost fleet never actually possessed the Cintamani Stone. They locate a series of catacombs containing the bodies of Polo's passengers, as well as a Tibetan phurba and another letter from Polo saying that the next clue is in one of the temples in Nepal. While Sullivan decides that the quest is too risky for him to carry on, Nate and Chloe head to Nepal, finding the city in the midst of civil war as Lazarevic ravages the city looking for the right temple.

Urban WarfareEdit

En route to the temple, the pair run into Elena Fisher and her cameraman Jeff, who are tracking down Lazarevic to find proof to show to the public that he is in fact still alive. 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 wounded severly. Despite Chloe's insistence to leave Jeff behind, the group pushes on further until they are finally caught by Flynn and Lazarevic. Chloe reluctantly pulls her gun on Nate to protect her "cover", while Lazarevic executes Jeff. Lazarevic and Chloe then leave for a train, but Nate and Elena manage to escape just as Flynn is about to kill them. The couple rushes to the train yard and catch up with the leaving train on a stolen jeep. Nate boards the train and finds Chloe, who is upset about Nate having taken Elena and Jeff along earlier and refuses to leave with him. As the two argue Flynn suddenly arrives and shoots Nate in the abdomen. With no other option, Nate shoots a pile of propane tanks, killing Flynn's men but sending Nate's half of the train towards a steep cliff.

Returning to where the story began, Nate escapes the train and travels through a snow storm, falling unconscious. He wakes up in a Tibetan village, where he is reunited with Elena and is introduced to a German man named Karl Schäfer. Schäfer tells Nate that the phurba is the key to finding Shambhala, but Nate tells Schäfer he is no longer interested. Schäfer sends Nate and a villager, Tenzin, to find the remains of the men in his expedition, who were looking for Shambhala and the stone 70 years earlier.

Heart of IceEdit

Traveling through a series of ice caves to an ancient temple filled with yeti-like creatures, Nate and Tenzin discover that Schäfer's men were SS members on an Ahnenerbe expedition and that he had killed them to protect the world from the power of the stone. They return to find Lazarevic's men attacking the village. After securing the village, Nate and Elena find out that Schäfer has been kidnapped and the couple track Lazarevic's convoy to an abandoned monastery. The two locate a mortally wounded Schäfer, who tells Nate that he must destroy the Cintamani Stone.

The Road to ShambhalaEdit

" Oh, you know...saved the world. "

— Nathan Drake to Chloe Frazer

Nate and Elena use the phurba to unlock the secret passage to Shambhala underneath the monastery, but Lazarevic corners them and forces Nate to open the gate. When the gate opens the group is attacked by the monsters from the ice caves, but Lazarevic manages to kill them off and reveals that they are actually the Guardians of Shambhala, powered by the Cintamani stone and dressed like monsters to scare off anyone who trespass the city. Just as Lazarevic prepares to kill both Elena and Nate, another wave of Guardians attacks which allows them and Chloe to escape.

Making their way to the stone, Nate discovers that the stone is in fact a giant amber of petrified blue resin embedded in a giant Tree of Life. As they prepare to go after Lazarevic, a wounded Flynn arrives and detonates a grenade, killing himself and seriously wounding Elena. Nate leaves Elena in Chloe's care and sets off to confront Lazarevic at the tree. Nate arrives just as Lazarevic drinks the tree's sap, which heals his scars and renders him nearly indestructible. Detonating the pockets of explosive resin in the tree, Nate defeats Lazarevic and leaves him to be killed by the Guardians. 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. While Sully chases after Chloe, Elena and Nate pay their respects at Schäfer's grave before embracing. They share a kiss and together they walk over to the edge of a cliff and watch the sun set behind the mountains as he mentions he is afraid of clowns.

Uncharted 3: Drake's DeceptionEdit

London UndergroundEdit

Nate: "You're a thief."

Talbot: "Well now, that's ironic..."

―Nate and Talbot after the deal goes wrong.

Nathan Drake along with Victor Sullivan head to the Pelican Inn located in London. They meet up with Charlie Cutter and Talbot to trade Francis Drake’s Ring in exchange for money. Nathan and Sully inspect the money, realizing that it was scam; they brawl with the surrounding thugs and Charlie as Talbot leaves the building. When they come out the building, Katherine Marlowe shows up and rips off his ring with her umbrella. Afterwards Charlie shoots the two, making her agitate Marlowe, but not Talbot.

When Marlowe leaves, Nathan and Sully get up at Cutter's signal; indicating that Nathan, Sully and Cutter were working together the whole time and Cutter was just a double agent for an unknown amount of time. Nathan, Sully and Cutter continue to pursue the fleeing Marlowe and Talbot who are heading to a hidden underground library. On the way there, Chloe Frazer steps out of a parked van and rendezvous with the three. This indicates that Chloe is also in on the plan and it is later stated that she is the getaway driver.

Once Nathan, Sully and Cutter (with Chloe waiting in the van) catch up with Marlowe and her affiliates in their underground lair, they wait for Marlowe to leave, allowing Nathan to capture the journal of T.E. Lawerence (A.K.A. Lawrence of Arabia) and a cipher disk made by John Dee. A message in Lawrence's journal is translated on the cipher disk to reveal "LONGHIDDEN." Nathan, knowing it's an anagram immediately, deciphers the message to see that the message is "Golden Hind" Francis Drake's ship. Discovering the clue, they begin searching the library for a trace of the Golden Hind and they find the figurehead of The Golden Hind in the library. Inside of it, they find a map left by Francis Drake. After the discovery, they are ambushed by Marlowe's men, they make a quick escape to Chloe's van where she is already waiting for them. After boarding the van, they escape successfully and retreat to their hideout to sort out the evidence further.

Nathan said that Sir Francis Drake along with John Dee were hired by Queen Elizabeth to go Arabia to look for a lost city. T.E Lawrence said that in Rub’ al Khali desert laid a city with immeasurable wealth called The Atlantis of the Sands. He had also been documenting sites that he went to, the only two that were visited by him and the crusaders, who were also looking for the lost city were France and Syria.

The ChateauEdit

"Is that a popcorn machine?"

— Nate in the Chateau

Nathan along with Sully once more travel to another location, eastern France that hides an old building called the Chateau; before they can get to the main courtyard they travel through its forest. Once Nathan killed Talbot’s men patrolling the courtyard, he and Sully head into the main building, then into a underground lair. They find an amulet that was stored inside a coffin; they suggest that the object will tell exact location where they should go in Yemen. Talbot comes in, telling one of his agents, Harris to retrieve the object from Nathan. Nathan tries to punch him, resulting in Talbot shooting him, but not killing him. He ends up giving him the amulet, but when he does spiders come from the walls killing Harris. Nathan along with Sully and Talbot survive the spiders. Nate and Sully manage to get away but when they get back to the main building, Talbot orders his men to burn down the chateau in an attempt to kill them. They barely escape, and knowing that Talbot will probably go to Syria and hurt Chloe and Cutter, they also head to Syria.

The CitadelEdit

They find Chloe and Cutter around the castle in Syria, Charlie shows Nathan a book telling that Queen Elizabeth owned a Hermetic secret spy society, who all wanted one thing; to control their enemies and gain power with that, and what Marlowe is a part of. The book also has writing that says ‘As Above, so below’ and a symbol to go with that, that is located on top of the highest tower. Once they find the symbol they use the constellations to guide them to the crusader’s hidden entrance. One their way, Talbot drugs Charlie, taking his gun and journal and then disappearing quietly. Charlie drugged says to Nate the “Wand of the Magician”, which was symbol located on the wall. They push the middle out-even wall part, allowing them to travel to where the second piece of the object is located. Nate, Sully, Chloe and Cutter get detected by Talbot’s man making them run, they end up jumping along a long piece of wood, but when Nate runs along it, he breaks it. This making it impossible for Cutter to jump and get where the rest are, Marlowe and Talbot come taking the second object from him, and then starting a fire. Charlie jumps off the tower, breaking his foot. They help Charlie out of the Citadel and steal a tourist bus, allowing them to escape with Talbot and his men in pursuit.

YemenEdit

"Go ahead Sully tackle me."

— Nate jokes with Sully after Elena doubts Nate's true motives.

Afterwards, both Chloe and Charlie leave the adventure, leaving Nathan and Sully to carry on alone. They board a plane to Yemen, Arabian Peninsula and meet up with Elena Fisher, who gives the pair journalist permits, allowing them access to the city. As they leave the airport, Elena questions Nate's motivation and expresses her concern for Sully, but Nate is more interested by the fact that she is still wearing her wedding ring from their estranged marriage. She claims it 'helps in this part of the world'. Later Elena leads the pair into the city, but as they make their way toward the old district they find their way has been blocked by the cities police. As the group make their way around the blockade Nate sees Talbot, and follows him into a hotel. Talbot ambushes Nate, punching him before throwing him out of a window, an event Nate considers worth it, as he is able to recover the journal stolen form Charlie in Syria. Fighting through a group of Marlowe's thugs before re-grouping with Sully and Elena, Nate stumbles upon the entrance they had come to the city to find, an ancient cistern. After navigating their way through a series of puzzles they find a brasier that, once lit, displayed a constellation, their guide to the Atlantis of the Sands. As they leave the underground area, Talbot drugs Nate. Hallucinating, Nate pushes Sully and Elena away and follows Talbot's voice until he finally blacks out.

When he wakes from the hallucination, he find's himself sat at a cafe table with

Marlowe, Talbot and a pirate. Marlowe begins recounting Nate’s life, Nate tries to act as though he isn't bothered, but is terrified to see that Marlowe has full details on Elena. Marlowe promises that nothing will happen to his estranged wife, if he helps them locate Victor Sullivan. When Nate refuses, Marlowe goes on to explain that, though he has been missing for hours, Sully hasn't tried to find him. Despondent, Nate sits in silence as Marlowe informs him that they have apprehended Sully, removing him from the equation. With a growing sense of desperation, Nate breaks the table, and runs after Talbot, following him through the streets and buildings of the market district, eventually catching up with him in a private garden. After a brutal fight, Nate is knocked out by the pirate, Rameses.

Abducted Edit

Nate is transported, whilst unconscious, to a derelict ship by Rameses. Awakening as a coarse bag is pulled from his head, Nate learns from the pirate that Marlowe had paid a large fee to have him killed, but the pirate decided to spare him, as long as he reveals the location of the Iram of the Pillars. Nate claims he does not know, but Rameses does not believe him, and as his men step forward to torture Nate for the information, the pirate adds that maybe his friend will be more cooperative. Nate asks 'who?', desperatly fearing for Elena and Sully's safety after he was knocked out. Rameses claims to hold Victor Sullivan, and threatens Nate with the fact that Sully might not be able to hold out under the interrogation before leaving. Fighting his way free Nate finds himself in the middle of a floating derelict ship yard. Fighting his way through the skeleton ships, Nate eventually spots Rameses making his way to a cruise liner, believing that is where Sully is being held, he follows the pirate aboard the, once glamorous, cruise ship, and makes his way to the hold. There he find, what appears to be Sully tied to a chair, but is in fact just a trap. Rameses appears and order one of his men to tie Nate up, but Nate swipes the henchman’s weapons, and after shooting Rameses he throws a grenade, causing water to pour in and begin to flood the ship.

As he tries to escape the sinking ship, Nate is confronted by a mortally wounded Rameses who, determined to have revenge, shoots what had once been a glass ceiling, causing a tidal wave of water. With seconds to spare Nate is able to find a way out of the stricken vessel before it is claimed by the sea.

StowawayEdit

"Let's talk about this."

— Nate after he is detected on the plane.

Waking on a beach, Nate soon realises he is back in Yemen, and makes his way to Elena's apartment. Elena was overjoyed to see Nate, believing him to be dead. She runs to him and hugs him fiercly, holding him for a time. Nate says that he 'thought this was frowned upon' (physical contact in Yemen) referring to when Sully went to hug Elena when they arrived and she told him that the country frowned upon it and they shouldn't as not to attract attention. She tells him to 'shut up'. She leads him to the sofa and pulls him on to 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 b

e making a supply drop to the convoy, so she planned on sneaking onto the plane, dropping in on the convoy, and rescuing Sullivan on her own. However, she and Nate decided to save Sullivan together. 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 deeply appreciated that. She starts to stroke his hair while he, exhausted, tries to say he likes the way she thinks but can barely get the words out due to his fatigue. Elena simply responds, 'I know'. As he drifted off into sleep, he took Elena's left hand (the one with the wedding band on it), and apologized, with Elena simply responding 'I know' again. They spend the night together.

Early the next morning, Nate and Elena drive to the airport and make their way toward the cargo plane, facing fierce opposition along the way. Eventually only a tall gate stands in their way. Noticing an empty jeep parked nearby, Nate tells Elena to keep watch as he climbs to the top of the gate, promising to give her a hand from there. Instead he climbs over alone, and tells her to take the jeep and get out of there, stating that he couldn't risk losing her, as he almost had before. After watching Elena get in the jeep, Nate dodged a hail of bullets before making it to the runway,

and trying to catch the plane as it taxis down the runway, he was pleased to see Elena speed across the tarmac, allowing him to grab a hold of the jeep and jump to the planes landing gear just as it took off.

Hidden inside the plane's hold, Nate crawls through the ventilation shafts, but is quickly detected by one of Marlowe's agents. Nate is pulled from the vent and beaten by the thug, who opens the cargo bay door. Nate eventually gaining the upper hand and releasing some of the cargo to knock his attacker out of the plane, unfortunatley it also takes Nate with it. The cargo wire snags however, giving Nate the chance to climb back inside the plane. Once Nate makes it back, more guards arrive as the plane's engines begin to catch fire, due to excess strain put on them and the rest of the plane from the ramp door being open. Eventually, an explosion on the plane creates a huge hole in the side of the plane, sucking out the enemy guards. As Nate tries to resist, the hole grows bigger and he too is sucked out into the air, freefalling to the desert below.

The Rub' al Khali Edit

"Don't shoot. Please don't shoot."

— Nate after Salim and the Bedouins storm the settlement.

Nate is able to grab a cargo box in mid-air and pulls the cargo's parachute, landing a short distance from the plane crash he makes his way to the wreckage, desperately seeking water. He finds nothing, except for a KAL 7, with it he starts a voyage through hundreds of miles of desert, knowing that it is unlikely he will return alive. He soon stumbles across a well filled with only sand. Soon, through the heat of the desert, dehydration & exhaustion start to take there toll causing him to see a mirage of an oasis, this starts to play havoc with his mind, and Nate starts to see hallucinations of the captured Sully. Days after crashing and close to death he stumbles upon what appears to be civilization.

Once closer though, he realizes it is an abandoned town. Hoping to find anything he stagger through the sand to reach the gate, finding it barred he crashes through a ceiling as he tried to find an alternate route into the town. Searching he finds the remains of a well, climbing down he finds a small water hole, but after taking a mouthful he realizes it was undrinkable. After climbing back out, Nate smashes through the door and finds himself facing multiple groups of Marlowe's agents. After a lengthy gunfight, Salim, the Sheikh of the tribe rescues him, first accusing him of being one of Marlowe henchmen, and then accepting that he is just a lost person in need of help.

Salim takes Nathan to his refugee camp, telling him that his scouts have been tracking down 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 how the city was cursed three thousand years ago when Solomon took control of and commanded the power of the spirits of Dijnn. Afterwards, many Dijnn rebelled; agitating Solomon, he imprisoned them in a brass vessel, letting it plummet down into the water of the city.

Salim along with Nathan did not want Marlowe to take out the vessel and unleashing the evil, decide to take out the cargo trucks going to the city on horseback. In the process, Nathan is able to reunite with Sully after they get him out of one of the trucks. Afterwards, when they are in a close distance to the city, they lose contact with Salim. Horseback is no longer needed, only using the weapons around them to execute the guards patrolling the place.

The Atlantis of the SandsEdit

"You killed Sully!"

—Nate during his hallucination

Nathan, along with Sully finally reach "Iram of the pillars" using the main entrance to enter the city. As the two venture into the city they come across a fountain which brings Nate to realize that this is how the city could survive and thrive. Nate drinks some of the water whilst Sully uses it to wash his face. The two glance up and take note of the eclipse that is occurring. They look at each other,confused, when a gun shot rings out with Sully collapsing into Nate's arms with a large gunshot wound on his chest, Talbot standing across from them brandishing a [[|T-Bolt|T-Bolt Sniper]],and Marlowe stood beside him.

Nate pursues Talbot and Marlowe as they disappear down an elevator. A number of their henchmen appear and engage Nate, but as Nate is shooting them he notices them mutate and their heads become inflamed, making demonic noises. As Nate continues his pursuit more guards appear with the same effect, Nate realizes that these are the Djinn. Nate comes across a pool where he sees an alter ego of himself that he begins to fight which causes him to wake and return to his senses. Nate proceeds further into the city where he engages more guards. After which Nate hears Sully call out to him, before approaching from the shadows relieved that he is ok. However Nate is confused, pointing his gun at Sully recalling that he saw him die, questioning if he is real. Sully slowly approaches, takes the gun and flicks Nate's nose, causing Nate to realize he is real. Sully then says how Nate went crazy after drinking from the fountain earlier and that's what drove him crazy along with the rest of the city and that the water is somehow tainted. Sully realizes this is what Talbot and Marlowe want, but then questions how they intend to remove the water, leading to Nate Explaining that what they actually want is contained in the water. He then explains to Sully what Selim told him about the evil spirits of the Djinn being cast into the depths of the city in a vessel of brass, and coming to the realization that is what Sir Francis Drake was sent after all along, however once he realized this he abandoned the mission and lied to the queen, and then hid all evidence of his voyage, and by doing so rewrote history.

Nate and Sully arrive at the location, where Marlowe and her henchmen are attempting to extract the brass vessel from the water of the city. They decide to split up to try to flank them. Nate hides under an arch waiting for Sully to make his move. Talbot however notices Nate, aiming his pistol at him; Sully at the exact same moment surprises him from behind. Talbot manages to overcome him, and knocks him into the water, Nate immediately jumps in after him.

He grabs Sully who is still conscious and both look towards the brass vessel. Nate shoots towards the surface from under water, destroying the crane lifting up the vessel but also destroying one of the underground supports holding the city up from below, causing the entire structure to crumble and fall apart and ultimately causing the city above to fall apart. Surrounding henchmen shoot at him and Sully, as they ran away from the crumbling city. Marlowe and Talbot catch up to them, also try to escape, where Talbot tries to shoot Nathan, but fails. The floor beneath them collapses trapping her in the quicksand that has developed as the city crumbles and Talbot is unable to reach her. Marlowe persuades Nathan into helping her escape but he is unable to reach. He uses his belt to try and pull her up but she is engulfed by the quick sand, and sinks, along with Francis Drake's ring, dead

Talbot is able to survive the collapse of the floor, letting him get further to where Nate and Sully are. On the edge of a crumbling platform, Talbot attacks them with a knife, stunning him. Nathan falls, but is able to hold on the edge of the platform. Talbot further tries to kill him by stepping on his hand making him lose his grip, Talbot get distracted letting Nathan get back up. Sully shoots Talbot with a Para 9, the ground moves once more having an effect on Nathan. He falls, but is able to grab the edge and then Sully’s Para 9. As Talbot is about to kill sully with a rock, Nathan shoots him with Sully’s gun, and kills him instantly. Talbot's body falls off the edge of the crumbling platform and into the sink hole that has engulfed the entire city.

Once they are out of the city, Salim and his men arrive and help them get out of the area.

Nathan and Sully arrive at an airport, as they are leaving Sully tells Nate that a person does not get to choose how they start in this life, and that real greatness is what you do with the hand you are dealt with and then gives him his wedding ring which he thought he had lost. He then gestured to Elena, who had arrived at the airport. Elena stated that she was sorry about Drake losing Sir Francis Drake's ring, which Drake said was "all right" because he traded it for "something better", letting her see that he was wearing his retrieved wedding ring, the two decided to leave Yemen together with Sullivan hand in hand. Sully leads Drake and Elena to a new plane, modelled after the Hog Wild which Nate and Elena destroyed 4 years ago during the events of Drake’s Fortune.

Uncharted Toyota AdvertEdit

Drake appears in both of the adverts with Elena Fisher, where he pulls off various feats with her and, of course, the advertised Toyota’s help. He appears in both ‘The Chase’ and ‘Jungle Run’. The adverts always have the quote he spoke in the Uncharted 2 teaser trailer, ‘Fortune Favours the Bold’.

WeaponsEdit

In the games, Nate is capable of using all the weapons available to the player. This list below shows his main single-player loadouts.

PM-9mm: A standard pistol found in Drake's Fortune and Golden Abyss.

92FS-9mm: An elite standard pistol found in the Uncharted series.

.45 Defender: A standard pistol found in the Uncharted series.

AK-47: The standard assault rifle in the Uncharted series.

M4: An elite assault rifle in the Uncharted series.

Dragon Sniper: A standard sniper rifle that appears in the Uncharted series.

He also is seen with the Kal-7 and M9 frequently in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. He is seen with the Para 9 as his primary pistol from Chapter 8 - The Citadel to Chapter 22 - The Dreamers of the Day.

ApperanceEdit

Nate has not changed too much between each game. He looks older between each one but this is to be expected as the time passes. Nate is quite tall, towering over Elena, broad-shouldered with a lean, muscled build from his exertions through his line of work. He is relatively handsome in a rugged way, with dark hair, flicking up at the end over his forehead. His eyes have changed with no-one able to make a true fact on their colour. It would seem his eyes change colour in the light, appearing brown, blue, grey and green.

PersonalityEdit

Nate comes across with the persona of the typical "every-man", he has a dry sense of humor, although he does crack some jokes at time (most notably when he almost gave Sully a heart attack when they found the Phurba Dagger dagger by pretending the skeleton he was taking it from came to life, scaring Sully and Chloe, to which he began laughing afterwards), quick to help others, but can also be temperamental. He is also very dedicated to his work and can read Latin and Spanish.

He is very protective of friends or others he cares about, and quick to help those who he cares about that are in need. Nate is also very quick-witted, finds humor in many of the dangerous situations he finds himself in, is fallible and sometimes improvises his way through things, and has the ability to remain calm under pressure. The Fourth Labyrinth notes that Nate has a nervous habit of flirting with women who intrigue him (Seen in each game like Uncharted: Golden Abyss when Marisa Chase try to give Nate a reason to be partners and cut Dante out, while takes it as she is about to show him her breasts or at the ending she is about to kiss him where they were interrupter by Sully).

He seems to have a somewhat sadistic regard for those against him, but he acts solely in self-defence. Nevertheless, his cavalier attitude to killing has been noted by his adversaries. Visually, Nate is unscathed emotionally by the mounting number of men he kills throughout his adventures, but thinks its unfair (for himself and others) to be killed in cold blood. Despite what Nate has gone through, he still maintains a light-hearted magnanimous personality. He also seems to have strong care and trust for those he loves. When Elena is nearly killed by the grenade explosion he is said to have cried, by Elena, but it is not confirmed. He definitely showed strong emotion though, shaking her shoulder and asking her not to leave him. He stops her from coming with him in Uncharted 3 when they are about to get to the plane, begging her not to accompany him to name just a few moments. He also goes to extreme extents to save Sully when he is captured by Marlowe.

Due to the dangerous (and criminal) nature of his adventures, Nate is often armed and ready for inevitable interference, and has adapted quickly to a large assortment of weaponry. As a result of this, he is able to hold his own in both firearm and hand-to-hand combat against trained soldiers. It's unknown if Nate ever recieved actual training in combat of some sort in the past, but he does demonstrate great proficiency when fighting, perhaps having picked it up throughout his travels. His climbing skills are also unmatched and he is an expert at deep-sea salvage. Nate has learned that his line of work is never easy, but he is driven more by the thrill of the hunt rather than the treasure itself.

RelationshipsEdit

Elena Fisher: Elena Fisher has a very close, intimate relationship with Nate, which developed into love and marriage over the course of the series. Nate quickly developed an admiration for Elena and her ability to handle herself in a fight.. In Among Thieves, it is implied the two were briefly together, but something caused them to split up. Drake's Deception implies that their romantic relationship was challenged by Nate's inability to settle down and his phobia towards commitment. Nate always sides with Elena, as seen against Sully when he thinks of getting rid of her when they find him in the Monastry again. The same is observed against Chloe with Jeff and her views on running in Shambhala. Nate and Elena seem to work well together in each other's company, managing to fight through a Tibetin Monastry, board a speeding train, and catch up with a Cargo Plane, with Nate managing to stow onboard. They also know each others minds well, with Elena finishing Nate's sentances for him when they are planning to rescue Chloe and in her apartment, where Elena stops Nate from finishing his tired lines by telling him 'I know', implying she already knows what he is going to say. Through this and the fact that she is the only one to work out his true intentions in U3, it can be said that she knows Nate's mind better than any of his other companions.

Victor Sullivan: Sully has been Nate's mentor since they met in Colombia, teaching him the nuances of treasure hunting. Sully quickly became the father figure in Nate's life, as much as Nate was the son-figure in his. However, the two were not without dificulties, especially as Sully encouraged Nate to be mistrustful of everyone - including Sully. Nate is certainly wary of Sully, despite their closeness, partially as a result of Sully's own encouragement in addition to Sully's actions (including amassing debts, betraying their partners and a general lack of scruples that Nate doesn't really suffer from). Nate still loves Sully to the point where the older man's death would shatter his world, briefly turning him back into a scared boy.

Chloe Frazer: Nate and Chloe shared a brief romance some time before Among Thieves, which appears to have been afflicted by the same problems as Nate's relationship with Elena - namely Nate's inability to sit still for more than a brief time. But this is unlikely due to Chloe's similar lifestyle and outward approach, not appearing the 'settling down' type. Either way, when they met at the bar they clearly still cared about each other, but unlike Elena who encourages it, Chloe is often frustrated by Nate's idea of chivalry and determination in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds. However, Chloe is willing to walk away when she sees Nate is in love with Elena.

Charlie Cutter: It is unknown how Nate and Charlie met, but the two clearly became close and trusted friends, perhaps because of similar wise-cracking personalities. The two are also similar in their love of the thrill of the chase, though Nate can be frustrated by Charlie's impulsiveness - not to mention Charlie occasionally ribbing him.

Skill SetEdit

• Nate originally had very little experience of firearms, but it is extremely likely he was tutored in their use by Sully, quickly gaining skill in their use.
• Although Nate has not trained in unarmed combat, he can hold his own in a bare-knuckle fight, presumably skills honed in bar brawls and grappling with armed opponents.
• While young, Nate demonstrated some skill in minor acts of theft, such as pickpocketing a wallet. Under Sully's guidance, he was able to perfect these skills to the point where he could steal an entire book from Talbot without him noticing.
• Nate is extrememly quick-witted, an atrribute that helped him survive on the streets, and is very good at lateral thinking, which has allowed him to solve many of the puzzles left behind by the ancients.
• Nate's biggest strength is his luck as he needs it above all other things or skills during his adventures.

TriviaEdit

• Nolan North stated in an interview that Nate is an orphan. Amy Hennig revealed in a twitter post that he doesn't have any close family to speak of. In Uncharted 3, Marlowe claims that his mother committed suicide and his father "surrendered" him to the state. Nate does not deny nor confirm this.
• In the internet game; Drake's Trail, Nate's home address is seen as: 160 Guard Ave, Apt. 3, Key West, Florida. A portion of this address appears in Nate's journal in Among Thieves, although the city and state are obscured (see image here).
• Nate shares his initials with Naughty Dog, the developers of the Uncharted series. NDI is written on the back of Nate's gun holster, which stands for Naughty Dog Industries or Incorporated.
• In Drake's Trail, Nate's e-mail address is ndrake@privateer.com.
• It was stated by Amy Hennig in an interview that Nate is in his mid-thirties.^[2] A flashback in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception dated 20 years before its events shows a teenage Nate. Additionally it is confirmed that the adventure of the first game took place four years before the events of Drake's Deception.
• Nate claims to be afraid of clowns (There may be a correlation between this claim, and the presence of a clown mask on almost every enemy in Uncharted 3's co-op mode on the crushing difficulty).
• In Uncharted 2, when Flynn catches Nate after he jumps onto a ledge, he remarks that he has put on some weight and that he should lay off the doughnuts; a reference to the 'Doughnut Drake' skin. It may also refer to how Nate has bulked up slightly in the time passed between Drake's Fortune & Among Thieves. Amy Hennig confirmed in an interview that Nate was skinnier than intended in the first game.
• Nate has a large scar on the right hemisphere of his forehead.
• To date Nate has the most skins out of all the characters, with a total of 7 different skins and 33 limited edition skins.
• In all three games, Nate chooses about midway through the game to give up. However, he is always talked out of it, or is shown something that keeps him going. In Drake's Fortune, Elena talks Nate out of leaving by showing him that Sully is still alive. In Among Thieves, Nate and Tenzin find Schafer's expedition, showing what harm the Cintamani Stone could do. In Drake's Deception, Nate has two moments. One when he returns to Elena's apartment, and she shows him her plan to save Sully (at this point he had given up trying to look for Iram) and when he saves Sully from the convoy, He is somewhat hesitant to continue his journey until Sully warns Nate that whatever Marlowe is after isn't treasure.
• Nate, Lazarevic and Talbot are the only characters to have Doughnut character skins. However, Sully and other characters will receive Doughnut skins in a skin pack, coming in a later date.
• In Chapter 18, you have a gun on your back which you acquired from the wreckage in the cutscene. In the later half of the Chapter, leading onto Chapter 19, the gun has gone unknowingly.
• Nate came 16th on the Top 50 favorite game characters in the 2011 edition of the Guiness World Records.
• Nate is a good artist. In his journal, there are many expertly drawn images of items and objects he encounters during the story.
• Nate, along with Elena and Sully, appeared in Gamers Heart Japan for a few seconds of footage. He wore one of his Uncharted 3 outfits.
• Nate's Desert Outfit in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception closely resembles the outfit worn by Brendan Fraser in the 1999 movie The Mummy (comparison pictures: Brendan Fraser and Nate's Desert Outfit )
• In Uncharted 3, it seems Drake met Sully when he was about fourteen or fifteen according to a flashback in Colombia, besides Drake mentioned that with fifteen he's been in prison in Peru, within a year after he met Sully.
• In Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception at Chapter 11 - As Above, So Below, when Katherine Marlowe shows Nathan's state sheet. You can see Hong Ly written at the bottom of the page, who was a concept artist that made Nathan's concept art.
• Nathan Drake's green shirt in Single-player is different from his green shirt in multiplayer. The multiplayer shirt has a more prominent and dark green, while the Single-player has a more subtle and olive color.
• One of Drake's outfits in Uncharted 3 resembles the outfit worn by Frank West in Case West and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, (though Drake is missing the camera). This could possibly be nothing more than a mere coincidence though.
• Drake and Elena are the only characters to appear in the Uncharted Toyota Adverts.
• Drake bears some resemblance to Silent Hill Homecoming Protagonist Alex Shepard.
• Nate is the only charater in the Uncharted series to have a sexual relationship with three female treasure hunters Elena Fisher, Chloe Frazer and Rika Raja.
• Nate's strength grows in each game, in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves he survived a bullet to the stomach and was able to take out a dozen of Zoran Lazarević's soldiers, and in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception he was able to go for days without food or water while trying to look for Victor Sullivan in the Rub' al Khali desert. He is also able to win fist-fights with Brutes and effectively subdue enemies using hand-to-hand combat.
• Both Elena and Nate have scars on the left side of their bodies. Elena's from grenade shrapnel and Nate's from a bullet wound, both inflicted by Harry Flynn.
• Nate, Elena and Sully are Official Judges for the Playstation Uncharted Audition competitions.
• Nate is known to have received multiple tetanus shots for the adventures he goes on, as in Chapter 3 - A Surprising Find, Sully makes a tender joking quote "Nate, when was your last tetanus shot?" And in Chapter 12 - Abducted Nate makes the quote, "I'm going to need a tetanus shot after this."
• In Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Nathan Drake's eye color is green.
• Drake is the only character to see all the supernatural creatures, Descendants, Guardians and the Djinn (Elena did see all the creatures, but not the Djinn which are hallucinations of Drake's and therefore unique to him. He was also the only one to drink the water which induced them.)
• It is said in Uncharted: The Fourth Labyrinth that Nate's lifelong weakness is cinnamon rolls, to which he is never able to resist eating it and could easily smell its delicious aroma from a far away distance.
• Nate, along with Elena, are the only characters to appear on the Naughty Dog Vistor passes, Elena with a new render.
• According to his mugshot, Nathan appears to be six foot tall, with shoes on. This could tie into his 'height' on info cards which constantly states him as 5'11, assuming the shoes add an extra inch. Meaning, Elena would be around 5'2 mark, Chloe 5'6 etc. But if it is off, actors height, Nate would be 6 feet, 1 inch(es) tall, based on Nolan North's own height. Elena would be 5'4, Chloe 5'8, and Flynn would be around 6'5. Again, it can only really be speculated.
