Sam Fisher (Splinter Cell)

Sam Fisher is a male video game character who features in Splinter Cell.

Biography

Samuel Leo Fisher was born in the affluent Baltimore suburb of Towson, Maryland, on August, 8, 1957. Though the CIA and Third Echelon have classified the majority of Sam's childhood, it is known that he lost both of his parents when he was a child and was raised by his paternal grandmother, Sarah. She enrolled Sam into a military boarding school where he learned to focus his energy, hone his skills, and to either follow orders or be sure to hide the evidence. From school, Sam enrolled directly into the United States Naval Academy where he majored in Political Science. During the mid-1980s, Sam worked for the CIA, under the cover of being deployed as a diplomatic aide in Eastern Europe where he later met an NSA crypt-analyst named Regan Burns in the then-Soviet Socialist Republic of Georgia. They had a 'stormy' affair and Regan became pregnant with Sam's child. After learning of the pregnancy, they had a small, quiet wedding ceremony at a U.S. military base in Frankfurt, Germany, where their daughter, Sarah, who they named after Sam's grandmother, was born on May 31, 1985. Despite a distant, difficult marriage, Sam and Regan did love each other, but their professional careers interfered with their relationship. They divorced after three years of marriage. Regan went back to the United States and took Sarah with her, reclaiming her maiden name and changing Sarah's. Sam became distanced from Regan and Sarah as he dedicated himself, operating extensively in Afghanistan during and after the Soviet invasion, East Germany, and the Soviet satellites in the years leading up to the collapse of the USSR." Regan later died of ovarian cancer when Sarah was fifteen. After Sam gained guardianship of Sarah, he moved back to the U.S. and took a bureaucratic job with the CIA, where he studied experimental weaponry and information warfare, in order to spend more time with her and focus on her upbringing.
