Nathan Drake was born (as Nathan Morgan) in 1975, the second son of American archaeologist Cassandra Morgan and her husband, and the younger brother of Samuel Morgan, who was older than him by five years.  In 1980, when Nathan was five, his mother Cassandra had been suffering from an unknown terminal illness, which soon led to her committing suicide.

Following the death of Cassandra, Nathan and Samuel’s father decided to give up his hold on them and surrender his sons to the state. Not long afterward, both boys were entrusted to the Saint Francis’ Boy’s Home, a Catholic orphanage ran by nuns and priests. All of their mother’s possessions — including her archaeological works — were later sold by their father.  The two spent the next few years in the orphanage, during which Nathan took interest in books and was taught Latin by the orphanage’s nuns, all while learning free-running and climbing from Sam. While growing up to dislike most of the orphanage staff such as Sister Catherine, he did become fond of Father Ryan Duffy, calling him ”the only decent guy there”.

Eventually, Sam was kicked out of the orphanage due to criminal activities, before taking a job to support both himself and set Nathan up as best as possible for his eventual exit from the orphanage. When Nathan was twelve, he got in a fight one day with an older boy called Edward after the latter teased him by grabbing one of his books and insulting his parentage, leading to Nathan being suspended from a retreat with the rest of the orphanage.

After receiving a harsh lecture from Sister Catherine, Nathan noticed light signals by Sam and ventures across the orphanage’s rooftops and walls to find him.  Meeting up with Sam, Nathan followed his brother out the orphanage’s limits, before being presented with a 500cc motorcycle Sam bought him as a gift, which he realized was Sam’s way to apologise; Sam then revealed his intentions to leave for at least a year due to his new job, in order to get money to eventually discharge Nate from the orphanage, much to Nathan’s shock and dismay as he was tired of his life in the orphanage. Trying to cheer his younger brother up, Sam also revealed he tracked down their mother’s possessions. The two then proceeded to plan on stealing them. 

Breaking into the house containing their mother’s journal, the two are confronted by the mansion owner. The owner at first mistakes Nate and Sam as trespassers and calls the cops. However the tension eases as Samuel tells her that they were just looking for their mother’s stuff. The owner apologized to them for misunderstanding and reveals to them that she was a friend of their mom. The boys engage in a wholesome conversation with the owner who reveals her name as Evelyn. Evelyn tells them that she and their mother were good friends and worked together and bonded over their love for history, social studies, and archaeology. Evelyn then reveals to the boys that she and their mom believed in a theory that Sir Francis Drake had heirs.

During the conversation, the three notice that the police officers have arrived outside (whom Evelyn called over a few minutes prior when she initially mistook the two as trespassers). Evelyn gives the boys their mom’s journals, believing ”they could finish what she started.” Evelyn then attempts to walk outside and explain to the police that it was a false alarm, but as she exits her chair and walks a few steps, she suffers from a heart attack and dies immediately.

Nate and Sam panic not knowing what to do, but as soon as they hear the police officers breaking the door open, the two escape out the window and try to exit the mansion grounds without the police officers noticing them. Unfortunately, the officers quickly spot them both and a chase ensues with Nate and Sam successfully losing the cops, managing to reach freedom. After motorcycling through the cities alleyway outskirts, the two stop for a break and to catch their breaths. Realising they cannot go back to their previous lives, the two decided to honour their mother – and her theory on Francis Drake’s heirs – by changing their names to Nathan and Samuel Drake.

With this, the brothers decide to become treasure hunters. The two would stick together for the coming years.  Meeting Sully Nathan Drake as a teen.jpg Nate as a teenager. By the time he was around fourteen, a young Nate ended up in Cartagena, Colombia. Sam was in prison somewhere, leaving Nate alone to fend for himself.  Seeking to obtain the ring which once belonged to Francis Drake, Nate explored the Museo Marítimo and found it on display, before noticing a middle-aged man quietly copying the display case key’s lock; before he could observe further, Nate was kicked out of the museum by one of the guards.  Nate decided to follow the man, stealthily tailing him up to a meet-up point with a blonde woman, before pick-pocketing his wallet.

Much to Nate’s surprise, the man noticed the theft and confronted the young Drake, forcing Nate to give him his wallet back but not before commenting on Nate’s thieving skills. Unbeknownst to the older thief, Nate took the copied key before giving back the wallet.  By evening, Nate entered the closed museum but was soon confronted by both the man, Victor, and the blonde woman, revealed to be his employer, Katherine Marlowe. Refusing to give Marlowe the ring, Nate escaped her clutches and was pursued by her men, with Victor aiding in his escape before saving him from an agent holding the boy at gunpoint. 

Later, at a bar, the man introduced himself as Victor Sullivan and treated Nate to a dinner. During their conversation, Nate introduced himself and explained his connection to Francis Drake and his ring, as well as possible secrets kept by Drake.  Within a year of meeting Sully, Nate ended up in prison at the age of fifteen, but Sully had him released shortly thereafter. Sully also came to know Sam, but unlike with Nate the two didn’t often see eye-to-eye. Throughout both his adventures with Sully and his brother Sam, Nate became a capable shooter, climber, explorer, swimmer, and treasure hunter, gaining a noteworthy reputation within the treasure-hunting world.

He would go on to meet and befriend several notable figures within the society, including the Indonesian pirate captain Eddy Raja, the British treasure hunter Harry Flynn, the American businessman Rafe Adler, and fellow American fortune hunter Jason Dante, all of whom would become rivals and eventual enemies of Nate.  Nate’s close friendship with Eddy came to an end when Nate betrayed him and kept the entire reward for himself. While Eddy continued to hold a grudge against him, Nate justified his betrayal due to Eddy having planned on double-crossing him beforehand.  Nate and Jason Dante worked together on several adventures and jobs. On one occasion, Nate woke up to find himself naked within the Taj Mahal after taking a ”scenic route” with Dante. On another occasion, Nate recalls Dante crying as the two climbed on the mountain in Mason Varde. 

At some point during his career as a treasure hunter, Nate met Chloe Frazer, an Indian treasure hunter known for her beauty and skills. The two entered into a relationship, but eventually, Nate left her under unknown circumstances.  Searching for Henry Avery’s treasure Around the year 1998, Nate and Sam got involved with Rafe Adler in their mutual search for the lost treasure of pirate Captain Henry Avery, despite Nate’s dislike and distrust of Rafe.

The trio used Rafe’s wealth to bribe their way into a Panamanian prison, buying the services of a warden named Vargas to aid them in their search.  During his time in prison, Nate fought against Gustavo, a fellow inmate, in order to let Vargas take him to a tower that was once used as the cell of Joseph Burnes, a shipmate of Avery’s. Before being released to explore the tower for clues, Nate was confronted by Vargas, who learned of the trio’s intentions after reading Burnes’ letter and demanded a cut from the treasure. Nate eventually found a cross of Saint Dismas engraved with the words ”Digna factis recipimus,” but decided to falsely claim to Vargas that the cell was empty due to many visits of looters since then 

Back in the prison, Nate met up with Sam and Rafe in a laundry room to discuss his findings, eventually declaring that there is a St Dismas cathedral in Scotland, near Avery’s last known sighting. The trio was then ambushed by Gustavo and his friends, leading to a short-lived brawl quickly ended by Vargas and his fellow wardens. Finding the cross on Nate, Vargas took the three treasure hunters to his office, angrily accusing them of cheating him, before being promised 25% of the treasure; Rafe kills Vargas in response, leading to an escape attempt from the prison.  Nate, Sam, and Rafe made their way through the prison, but during the escape, Sam was shot in the torso as Nate attempted to pull him up from a ledge, before falling through debris much to Nate’s disbelief.

Convinced by Rafe that his brother is dead, Nate reluctantly follows Rafe out the prison, and the two escaped by water.  Throughout the following months, the two continued to work together to find the treasure in Scotland, but eventually went their separate ways as Rafe’s impatience grew in proportion to Nate’s grief over his brother’s apparent death. In disbelief of Sam’s death and unaware that he was actually alive, Nate tried to find his brother by various methods but the guards who locked him up made sure he found leads confirming that his brother did indeed die during the escape, all in retaliation for Vargas’ death . Nate was forced to accept the fact that his brother died and thus suppressed his memories of the prison incident, never mentioning him again. 

//I am currently more interested in continuing the life of adventure with Nathan than having him settle down with a wife and a kid so its what my muse and his driver are interested in.
