Nathan Drake

Nathan Drake, also known as Nathan Morgan and Nate, is the main protagonist from the Uncharted series.
==Charactah Account==
An amateur archaeologist, professional treasure hunter, sometimes criminal and occasionally a stand-up guy. Nate believes that he's a descendant of legendary privateer Sir Francis Drake, even though the historic record is that Francis had no children. This is proven correct in Drake's Deception, which reveals Nate is actually an orphaned boy who grew up in a Catholic orphanage called "St. Francis", which is where he grew his fascination with the great sailor's exploits. During his teens he spent his days as a street criminal in the alleyways of Cartegena, Colombia and made up his lineage from Francis Drake as part of his Changeling Fantasy. The sequel, A Thief's End, also introduces us to a brother named Samuel who was also given up as a boy, the two at one time growing up in the orphanage as well having at least one treasure hunting expedition together.
Nathan Drake's most prominent trait is his dry humor, even in dangerous situations. This can cause him to appear unprofessional, and Neil Druckmann has suggested Nate's sarcasm to be a slight front for his dark past, which he often keeps to himself, once when he becomes nervous and impatient, that may Get angry, irritated or complain. Self-educated in history and various languages, Drake is also highly intelligent. Nate is outwardly and genuinely an "everyman" type of person, relating to Naughty Dog's original intention when creating the character. Even if he is unable to remove his obsession with treasure hunting, he can contain it.
As a treasure hunter and thief, he is often confronted by various types of enemies, a prospect that doesn't always deter him. The dangers of his work are part of why Nate is drawn to it, typical of an adrenaline junkie. As a result, he has a callous and somewhat sadistic disregard for his adversaries and kills without remorse, albeit in self-defense. However, he is against cold-blooded executions (as shown when he refused to let Sam kill Nadine, even saving her life and also in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves who complains when Flynn tries to kill them in that way) and killing defenseless enemies even offering his help to them after their defeat, such as the case with Flynn and Dante. He also refused to kill a defeated Lazarević himself to focus on escaping Shambala, though he did leave him to be killed by Shambhala's Guardians. Nate is easy to provoke, makes absurd complaints and sometimes gets violent when an enemy angers him.

==Trivia==
*Nate's physical appearance has changed drastically throughout the games. He was skinnier in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune than Amy Hennig intended and got bulked up in the second game. In Uncharted 3 his brown eyes were changed to blue, and his height firstly mentioned in a mugshot in Chapter 11 as 5'11" (1.80 m) was changed to 6'2" (1.87 m) in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End as stated by a Naughty Dog employee.
*Nate claims to be afraid of clowns, ranking them 10/10 on a scale of fear.
*Nate came 16th on the list of the Top 50 Favorite Game Characters in the 2011 edition of the Guinness World Records.
*In the alternate reality game Uncharted: Drake's Trail, Nate's home address is seen to be: 160 Guard Ave, Apt. 3, Key West, Florida. A portion of this address appears in Nate's journal in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, although the city and state are obscured.
*Nate shares his initials with Naughty Dog, the developers of the Uncharted series.
*In Uncharted: Drake's Trail, Nate's e-mail address is shown as ndrake@privateer.com.
*The first time Nate killed a man was at the age of fifteen, when he inadvertently caused one of Katherine Marlowe's agents to fall from a rooftop.
*If the player looks very closely at Nate's face during the cutscenes in Uncharted 3, healed cuts gained in Uncharted 2 can be seen. The same goes for Elena.
*Nate has been shot twice - in Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3 - by secondary antagonists.
*On the back of Drake's gun holder, the letters NDI can be seen in cut-scenes. This is the abbreviation for Naughty Dog Inc.
*Nate's desert outfit in Uncharted 3 greatly resembles the clothes Brendan Fraser wore in the 1999 film, The Mummy.
*Nate has been confirmed to have known several characters from the Uncharted series when living at the Sir Francis Home for Boys, although it is not stated who.
*In Uncharted 4, Nate mentions that he once dated a Leo.
*Drake's 'Oh Crap' has become a trademark signature, spawning YouTube videos and a mention by PlayStation Magazine as to the amount of times he says it.
*Drake has been compared (by fans and Nolan North himself) to John McClane from the Die Hard film series, for their similar smart-alec personalities, sarcastic sense of humor, and determination. (They even wear similar outfits in Uncharted 2 and Die Hard 4, respectively.)
*Even though Nate doesn't appear in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, he and Sam are mentioned by Nadine during her conversations with Chloe about their own individual encounters and affiliations with the Drake brothers. However, Sam himself appears as the tritagonist of the game.
*Nate doesn't take bullet damage in-universe. As the game's UI turns red, this actually represents Nate's luck running out. Once the luck runs out, a single shot kills him.
