From Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Nathan Drake, born Nathan Morgan, had a tumultuous childhood. Orphaned at a young age, he and his older brother Sam were raised in a Catholic orphanage. The brothers shared a passion for history and treasure hunting, inspired by stories from their mother, a historian. Believing they are descended from the famous English explorer Sir Francis Drake, Nathan adopts the Drake surname. Nathan's adult life is marked by a series of high-stakes adventures around the world, searching for legendary artefacts and lost cities. His escapades are often accompanied by his mentor and friend Victor "Sully" Sullivan, journalist Elena Fisher, and his brother Sam. Nathan's adventures take him from the jungles of South America to the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula and the Himalayas' peaks.
