Sam Fisher (NowhereMash)

Samuel "Sam" Fisher is a decorated former Navy SEAL operator and CIA paramilitary ops/clandestine officer, and current Operations Coordinator of Third Echelon. 
Sam Fisher was born on 17th April, 1957, and grew up in the Baltimore suburb of Towson, Maryland. His father was a case officer for the CIA who worked undercover in Moscow during the Cold War. While not much is known of his childhood, it is known that Sam attended a military boarding school after the death of his parents when he was a child and that he majored in Political Science while at the U.S Naval Academy.
Acknowledged as one of the finest Servicemen in his lifetime, Fisher was a highly-decorated commissioned officer of the United States Navy, where he attained the rank of Lieutenant Commander (O-4) while serving as an operator within the U.S. Navy's elite SEAL Teams, where he participated and led various special operations in the Persian Gulf, Bolivia, Colombia, Senegal, Kosovo and various other crisis points around the world. Sam spent nearly three years (2 years, 11 months) as an intelligence analyst, and was awarded the Defense Distinguished Service Medal. He was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1996.
In 2003, Fisher was recruited to Third Echelon by its Operations Coordinator, Irving Lambert, and was trained as the agency's first "Splinter Cell" operative. He undertook missions in the Splinter Cell program from 2004 through 2012, when he was promoted to Operations Coordinator after Lambert assumed the role of Director.
As a former Splinter Cell field agent, Fisher is trusted with nearly complete autonomy. This has led him to significantly redefine the role of Operations Coordinator, and often takes to the field himself, coordinating Third Echelon missions from his mobile base of operations aboard the Paladin, a heavily modified military transport plane.
