== Biography ==
=== History ===
Samuel Wallace was born on April 5, 1909 in the Grizzly Mountain range of western Ambarino to former retired American outlaw Jonathan Wallace and a Native American woman traveler, having been conceived during their first rendezvous. After he was born, Jon gave up his outlaw ways and settled into a cabin in the mountain range. Sam later had a younger brother, Hagen, and sister, Valentine, both named after Mount Hagen and the town of Valentine respectively.
Sam was trained to hunt, mostly by his father whenever he hunted, but was taught to read by his mother. He spent his life tending to the family home in the freezing mountains. At some point, Sam considered traveling across the country, but Jon stated that there was nothing out there “but trouble”.
=== Path to Vengeance ===
TBA
=== Later Life and Death ===
After Sam fled the Southwest after burying his father, he moved east to Liberty City, where he met a white woman. Although wary due to the amount of racism around that time, he warmed up and she accepted him in marriage. The two had three children together. However, the two divorced. After securing enough money to retire early and relocate someplace quieter, Sam moved to North Yankton, where he met a black woman. Although the two did not marry, they had at least one child together.
Sam later resided on a ranch he built up near Ludendorff until he finally died peacefully of natural causes on September 17 of 2013.
=== Legacy ===
Unbeknownst to Sam, due to his short-lived fling with Valorie, she became pregnant and had a son, giving him Sam's last name out of respect. This child would move to Liberty City, where he would have a son named Joshua Wallace with a black deli owner, eventually leading to Sam's great grandson, Joel Wallace's birth.
Sam had six children, which most of them carry on the bloodline. His first child with Valorie Edwards had families that assumed different last names, leading up to Derrick Brown. Sam had at least three grandsons, with one of them being known as Joshua Wallace, who died in 2017, and four other grandsons. He also has three known great grandchildren: Lucas, who died in 2009, Joel, and Kaylee Wallace, all of whom had child(ren).
Roughly a week after his demise in 2013, Joel had journeyed to Sam’s ranch, where he was introduced by Sam's grandsons. Joel then explained that his father once found an old picture that resembled a man who "looked black and Indian at the same time", citing that he is his great grandfather and heard that a man fitting his description was living in Ludendorff at the time. Joel provided the picture as proof, in which the residents then revealed that it was indeed Sam and they is his half uncles. They then broke the news to Joel that Sam passed just a week prior to his arrival but before he passed, he had designed one of his old Double-Action revolvers to be plated out of gold with a special Victorian carving. They then gifted the gun to Joel and he left. Joel then used this gun for special executions of certain individuals and for some occasional shootouts.
== Appearance ==
=== Physical ===
Sam adopted his appearance from both of his parents. He was somewhat lighter, but more tanned in his skin tone, resembling his mother, as well as her brown hair, but has a similar facial structure to his father’s. Again, unlike his father, he had long hair, similar to his mother’s, and tied it in a ponytail for most of the series until he decided to shave off the sides and turn his hair style into a fade by Season Four.
=== Outfits ===
In the beginning of the story, he wore a winter outfit.
== Personality ==
It appeared that Sam was somewhat mature before the events of the series, but was often rebellious and courageous, often traveling alone into the wilderness to hunt, even without supervision and permission. Despite this, he loved his family dearly. When he discovered his father was nearly murdered and learned the circumstances of it, he became much more vengeful and hateful, even going to morally wrong lengths to achieve his retribution and deliver swift vengeance.
Despite being on a warpath, Sam was not without humanity. Whenever he saw it was appropriate, he would assist good people in need. Despite bounty hunting not being much of a common practice by the 1930’s, Sam continued to act as a bounty hunter. Like his father, he often killed his targets rather than capture them, but was more merciless in his pursuit.
By 1936, he was further enraged when his father was sacrificed for his safety and destroyed whatever influence the Lasting Lighters had in the American South. He finally found his peace after allowing the final leader of the Lasting Lighters go as he had lost everything, like him, but at the cost of his home and freedom in the southwest due to the officials tracking him. When he was married, he had a bad first one but it ended on good terms, while he was able to maintain his second relationship. It was shown that Sam wanted responsibility for all of his children, despite being separated.

When Sam and Valorie met, the former was hunting one of the Lasting Lighters' enforcers during 1934. Sam met Valorie in Altheimer, Arkansas while he was in a general store. The two eventually became interested in each other and after a night enjoying a drink in the saloon, the two had a one-time sexual encounter in a hotel. Valorie left Sam alone and the two did not meet again until later that year, where it was revealed that Valorie was the granddaughter of "Shepherd" Virgil Edwards, the man that Jon killed nearly 30 years ago. Valorie was aware of his father and wanted both of them dead, although she fell in love with Sam. In the end, Sam regretfully assassinated Valorie via stabbing her in the chest, with Valorie confessing her love in her dying moments, but Sam justifies his murder with the fact that she was going to kill them first. He later learned that she actually had his child, who was conceived after their one-night stand, but he regretfully decided to let the child alone in the care of foster parents as he knew that he would not be safe with him.

== Trivia ==
* Sam was originally going to look like an African-American man who resembles Jon in many ways. However, this was scrapped in favor of an obvious Native American protagonist with African descent as a way to honor the Native American race and culture.
* Sam is the longest living protagonist on the MinneEagle YouTube channel and so far, the longest living character as well.
* Sam, Jon Wallace, Red Harlow, Arthur Morgan, John Marston, and Jack Marston all have the same ability, which is "Dead Eye."
** Sam shares the same Dead Eye ability as Jon, being the "Focus Fire" ability, while everyone else chooses their targets and shoot all at once.
* Like Jon, Arthur Morgan, and John Marston, he uses the "Eagle Eye" ability to track.
* Sam's preferred weapons are Bow & Arrow, Schofield Revolvers, and Bolt Action Rifle, with Throwing Knives, Lasso, and Hammer. This loadout is similar to his father's, but Jon himself prefers to use a Lancaster Repeater, Bolt Action Rifle, a Navy Revolver, and a Sawed-Off Shotgun, with Throwing Knives, Lasso, and Hammer.
