50 Video Game Characters: 43

"Y'know, people are always telling me how lucky I am. But the truth is, everything I touch turns to shit"



43. Nathan Drake (Uncharted)

Nathan Drake is the smuggest being you'll ever meet. He is smug as smug can be. Smugger than you or I. The definition of smug. But the dude has every reason to be.

The descendant of famed explorer Sir Francis Drake, Nathan Drake is an explorer/treasure hunter of Indiana Jones-ish proportions. And by that I mean he is a(fairly handsome) human being who fucks up sometimes, has a quip for every problem and deals with a shitload of mystical artifacts. And by "fucks up sometimes," I mean seriously. Like 90% of the time he has no control over his shit. But somehow he finds his way out of the crappiest situations by sheer willpower(gunpower) and his smarts.

Nathan Drake is the smuggest being you will ever meet, but he is humble as hell and a pretty nice guy. He deserves the sassy smugness.

Best moment: His hand puppetry in Uncharted 2, after being incarcerated for three months.
