[edit] Major characters

[edit] Sam Fisher

PROFILE

  • Born: Classified (Although stated as 1957, as of Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory)
  • Height: 5′10″
  • Weight: 170 lbs
Main article: Sam Fisher

A veteran of the CIA Directorate of Operations and of U.S. Navy SEAL Team 3. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 170 pounds (77 kg) [1], usually is rough-shaven, and has black hair (shaved in Double Agent) and green eyes. He is an operative of Third Echelon, a clandestine division of the National Security Agency (NSA). Fisher is extremely agile and an expert in the art of stealth. Fisher was the first person to be recruited as a field operative, of the "Splinter Cell" program for Third Echelon. He works alone in the field—in espionage parlance, a singleton. Fisher resides in a townhouse in Towson, Maryland, when not on the job. Fisher studies the military hand-to-hand combat system Krav Maga.

[edit] Colonel Irving Lambert

PROFILE

  • Born: 1961, Bat Cave, North Carolina
  • Height: 6′2″ (A goof by the developers since Lambert is smaller than Sam in Double Agent's cutscenes)
  • Weight: 270 lbs

Colonel Irving Lambert is the leader of the Third Echelon team, and thus Sam Fisher's "controller". His role in the game is to guide the player through each level over the cochlear implant radio, providing information such as critical updates, objective changes, and enemy status. He becomes one of Sam's closest friends. He is voiced by Dennis Haysbert in Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, and by Don Jordan in all the other games in the series.

Lambert was born in 1961 in Bat Cave, North Carolina. He is a high ranking officer in the National Security Agency, where he holds the rank of Director of Operations for Third Echelon. Many of his duties involve conveying intelligence to Sam Fisher and other Splinter Cell operatives while they are 'on the job'. He also handles the bureaucratic and political aspects of espionage.

Lambert has a much more no-nonsense approach to missions, in contrast to Fisher's aura of dark humor. Sam stated in Chaos Theory that Lambert has been married and divorced several times.

In 2008, Irving is kidnapped by John Brown's Army (JBA), and his possible death is determined by Sam. Sam can decide to shoot Lambert or Jamie Washington in the Next-Gen version of Double Agent (however, if Sam decides to shoot Lambert, Lambert continues to breathe afterward, so it is quite possible that the shot is not fatal). In the Current Gen versions, Sam can decide to either upload information that either blows Lambert's cover or enhances it, increasing Lambert's chances of survival. In Splinter Cell: Essentials, Sam is only given one option, to shoot Lambert to keep his cover. An act that leads to Williams trying to frame Sam for murder of Lambert in cold blood.

[edit] Anna Grimsdóttír

PROFILE

Anna Grimsdóttír (known as 'Grim' to her friends in the NSA) is the technical operations manager at Third Echelon. Her role is to provide Sam with technical support in the field, as well as to analyse and interpret much of the electronic data. A skilled hacker, Grimsdóttír normally tries to remotely hack into an objective computer system before Fisher is inserted, or when not possible does it direct from Fisher's OPSAT connection to a computer terminal.

Anna was born in 1974 in Boston, Massachusetts. Being a second generation American, her mother immigrated to the U.S. alone from Akureyri, in Northern Iceland. In the mid-90s, Grimsdóttír dropped out of Saint John's College and worked as a programmer in different private communications firms contracted by the U.S. Navy. She was recruited into the NSA in the late 90s, and rose quickly in rank as the Internet became more and more important to national security. She heads a small team of programmers responsible for providing technological, cryptographic and data support for the Field Operative and assists Sam Fisher via his interface with the high-tech components of his missions. She often makes jokes about Fisher's age.

In next generation versions of Double Agent, she only appears in the training mission monitoring the simulator that Sam is connected into. She does not make any other appearances in the game.

In 'Splinter Cell: Essentials, Anna uncovers Director William's tampering of Sam Fisher's files. When Director William's confiscates the disc where she kept evidence of the file modifications, she helps Sam infiltrate the NSA to reach his office in order to get the disc back.

[edit] William Redding

PROFILE

William Redding was born in 1969 in San Diego, California. Redding is a calm book-wormy type. He is fanatical about his planning, preparation, and data accumulation. He is meticulously accurate in every facet of his job. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to weapons and vehicle specifications and could list from memory every item aboard an Osprey at any time, including its weight and location.

Redding attended the University of Chicago where he received a BA in political science with a dual major in history. He then applied for admittance to the United States Marine Corps where he trained as a communications specialist and rose quickly to the rank of captain.

Redding left the Corps to work for the NSA as a signal intelligence analyst. He soon found that his experience as a Marine ended up getting him assigned to atypically dangerous locales and bringing him a lot of recognition.

To some extent, with the absence of Frances Coen in Chaos Theory, Redding becomes Sam Fisher's field runner. The third Splinter Cell book, Checkmate, also has Redding as Sam's field runner.

In Splinter Cell: Essentials, Redding discovers that some of Sam Fisher's files do not match what really happened during the events of missions in Sam's career. Redding explains what really happened during the events in which he had helped Sam, and where discrepancies in the files exist. His discovery prompted Anna Grimsdóttír into looking through Sam's records, leading to the discovery that they were tampered by Director Williams in order to frame Sam Fisher. He also learned later that Director Williams had confronted Anna and took the CD containing the evidence of his file tampering. Later, after Sam escaped from his interrogators, he hid in Redding's office and was able to explain what happened during his last mission to Anna and Redding over a phone. Redding then tells Sam that he needs to infiltrate the NSA to get the CD that director Williams had stolen.

[edit] Frances Coen

Frances Coen was first introduced in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. She is a field runner for Third Echelon. She is initially the replacement for Sam's good friend and old field runner Vernon Wilkes, Jr., who was killed in a shootout with Russian mercenaries in the first game. Her primary duties involve delivering Fisher into the mission area as well as extracting him after the mission is complete. She also provides good-humored banter with Fisher in the game's between-mission cutscenes. She seems to be one of the people Fisher gets along with quite a bit.

After the second game, Coen accepted a job as a Double Agent (a rank Sam would later take up also), in order to infiltrate a Yakuza organization known as the Red Nishin. Coen was mentioned briefly in Chaos Theory, where she had been monitoring the organization's activities. When Fisher is asked to tap telephone lines in a Japanese bathhouse to aid Coen in this, he replies, "For Frances...of course I can".

In the book Operation Barracuda, Sam resents being forced to work with Frances and is against the field runner program entirely.

[edit] Vernon Wilkes, Jr.

Vernon Wilkes was born in 1967 in Baltimore Maryland. He serves as Sam Fisher's field runner in the first few missions of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. He briefs Sam Fisher on new equipment and weaponry and uses both cars and helicopters to deliver Sam into the mission area.

Wilkes dies on November 6, 2004, after being shot by a Russian mercenary while covering Sam Fisher's extraction from a computer software company, Kalinatek, in the US (however, in the PS2 version, he dies in the exclusive Power Plant mission, after Kalinatek). After his death, Wilkes is replaced by field runner Frances Coen.

[edit] Morris O'Dell

Morris O'Dell is the anchor for the FNW in "Splinter Cell" and the WNM in "Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow" and "Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory". He also appeared in the very end of "Splinter Cell: Double Agent" in the Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube versions and is heard in the Xbox 360 version and PC versions.

He also appeared in the Playstation 2 version of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 and the Xbox 360 version of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter.

[edit] David Bowers

The President of the United States during the events in all Splinter Cell games since the original Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell shows Bowers in newscasts regarding the Georgian Information Crisis. In a clear reference to George W. Bush's "pretzel incident", one of the newscast's tickers reveals that a cashew has been removed from Bowers' windpipe during the Information Crisis. In Pandora Tomorrow he is briefly seen on national television defending the U.S. invasion of Indonesia.

In Chaos Theory, he is seen discussing with Irving Lambert on what course of action the U.S. should take against North Korea as well as the newly-formed Japanese I-SDF. In this situation he prefers a diplomatic and political approach rather than immediate military action, in contrast to his eagerness to go to war against the Georgian and Indonesian governments.

In Double Agent, he is engaged in Nashville, where the JBA has shipped off one of several nuclear explosive devices. His possible death is determined by Sam, deciding whether to perform the risky operation of preventing the shipping off of the Los Angeles and Nashville bombs or allowing them to leave the headquarters.

[edit] Douglas Shetland

PROFILE

Douglas Shetland is a significant recurring character in the Splinter Cell series. He is an old friend and comrade of Sam Fisher, and the CEO of the private security company Displace International. He has appeared in both Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and Splinter Cell: Essentials, and he plays a major role in the story of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.

Shetland was born in 1959, in Boone, Iowa. He served in the U.S. Military, and was the commanding officer of Sam Fisher's Navy SEAL team for several years. Shetland and Fisher became close friends.

During Splinter Cell: Essentials, Shetland was captured in Norte de Santander, Colombia by FARC guerrillas in 1992. Going against a direct order of a commanding officer, Sam Fisher rescued Shetland from his captivity.

In 2002, Shetland's superiors tried to make him a scapegoat for a friendly fire incident in Bagram, Afghanistan that wasn't his fault. Although he was granted a full discharge by the court, he was disengaged from Afghanistan and demoted to a "five star office job". Embittered, Shetland left the Marine Corps shortly after the incident, sued the U.S. military and won. He used the proceeds from his lawsuit ($700,000) to found Displace International. Displace International was highly successful, eventually becoming a major Private Military Contractor for the U.S. government as well as the first private security company to be listed on the Fortune 500.

Shetland was held hostage at the U.S. embassy by Indonesian guerrillas led by Suhadi Sadono, only to be rescued by his friend, Sam Fisher. Shetland and Fisher would later perform a joint operation against Sadono's Kundang camp, in which Shetland provided tactical support with Displace personnel and helped facilitate Fisher's extraction.

Shetland appears again in Chaos Theory, when Third Echelon comes to suspect that rogue elements within Displace International are covertly attempting to goad the United States and North Korea into war against each other. It is ultimately revealed that Shetland himself is the mastermind behind the scheme.

Shetland organized payment to Hugo Lacerda to interrogate Bruce Morgenholt and retrieved the Masse kernels from the first game. Killing Abrahim Zherkezhi, who worked with Morgenholt on the Kernels, Shetland used the algorithms to cause blackouts in New York City and Japan, as well as launched a North Korean missile that, with the help of an algorithm that crippled the ship's defensive systems, successfully destroyed the USS Clarence E Walsh, sparking an armed conflict involving the Korean Peninsula, Japan, and the United States.

Fisher is eventually sent to Japan in order to eliminate his old friend and prevent the spread of the weaponized algorithms. After a meeting to sell I-SDF the algorithms declines into a firefight, Fisher pursues Shetland and the two end up facing off in a tense Mexican standoff, in which Shetland expresses his outrage at the "politicians and bureaucrats" and their "dirty little wars" that have left America "sick and dying". He tells Fisher about the need to "tear it down and start over", and implores Fisher to join him. However, Fisher is forced to kill Shetland. Even if Sam puts away his gun instead of shooting him, Shetland attempts to kill Fisher and Fisher is forced to stab him.

[edit] Sarah Fisher

PROFILE

Sarah Fisher is the daughter of Sam Fisher and Regan Burns. Sarah was born on an American Air Force Base in Germany on June 16, 1985. In 1989, her mother died from ovarian cancer when Sarah was four years old. Throughout her childhood, Sarah encountered many tough times with her father, especially when he went on his missions. She was not always aware what kind of work her father did, but she knew it was government-related. Quite some time before her death, she was made aware, and this helped her to understand that it wasn't Sam's fault he was always away. In June 2003, she graduated from Towson High School. Five years later, she was killed by a drunk driver while her father was away on a mission in Iceland. Sam is devastated by her death, and goes into deep depression, even picking fights in the street. He took his mission in Double Agent because he had nothing left to lose.

In Splinter Cell: Essentials, she was buried in the Elysian Fields Cemetery in Washington D.C. Sam Fisher visits her grave on the anniversary of her death, and was captured by the NSA agents which had been waiting for him to show up at the site.

[edit] Lawrence Williams

PROFILE in Splinter Cell: Double Agent

Profile in Splinter Cell: Essentials

  • Director of Operations
  • Born: 1970, New York, New York.
  • Height: 5'10
  • Weight: 165 lbs.

A relative newcomer to the NSA, Williams is the first occupant of a newly-created executive position overseeing Third Echelon activities. Williams is an ambitious and skilled political player, exactly the kind of person Sam can't get along with. He only appears in the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube versions, but he is mentioned by Hisham Hamza in the Xbox 360 and PC versions and in the credits.

Personality-wise, he's the guy that goes by the book. He thinks that NOC and double agent practices are too dangerous for the NSA and government. Williams thinks more politically than logically. He knows that Sam Fisher is capable of doing his job, but does not trust Fisher under his circumstances. When Williams finds out about the JBA mission in the other versions, he is quick to pull the plug and end it. Fisher is forced to make careful decisions to keep the trust of Williams, while also making sure that the JBA trust him.

"You'll be riding on a tough moral slate. The JBA has to trust you, but so does Assistant Director Williams. If the JBA thinks your a traitor, or Williams thinks your playing too risky, it's over either way." —Lambert

In the current generation versions, it is hinted at by several e-mails and his actions during the Kinshasa, Okhutsk and the second JBA HQ mission that he blew Lambert's cover and the possible death of Lambert that he is a mole.

In Splinter Cell: Essentials he had been promoted to Director of Operations. Williams is working for some mysterious individual who wants Sam framed for murder. Williams does this by altering Sam's records of past missions, in order to make Sam look like a cold blooded killer. When Anna Grimsdóttír discovers his file tampering, he let his "boss" know about her discovering the modifications. He later threatened her to give the disk containing the evidence to him, as he has ways of dealing with people who try to cross him. He then puts the disk in a hidden safe in his office. Sam is able to sneak into his office to get the disk and then warns Williams not to try to try to follow him again. He tells Williams that he will find out why Williams is trying to frame him, and at that time he will return for him.

[edit] Splinter Cell

[edit] Kombayn Nikoladze

Kombayn Nikoladze is the primary antagonist of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. A charismatic and powerful industrialist, Nikoladze was elected President of Georgia following the assassination of the previous President in a suicide bomb attack. Although appearing to be pro-Western and a democrat, Nikoladze hid a hatred of America and aggressive military ambitions.

After commissioning Russian mercenary Vyacheslav Grinko to retrain the Georgian army in covert guerrilla warfare. Nikoladze engaged in a secret military campaign in the neighbouring Muslim nation of Azerbaijan in order to seize control of the country's vast oil reserves. Knowing that the West would take military action against him if they became aware of his operation, Nikoladze employed Canadian Hacker Philip Masse, whose information warfare techniques managed to hide evidence of the invasion from intelligence-gathering organisations. By the time Sam Fisher's infiltration of the Georgian Ministry of Defence had uncovered evidence of the campaign, Georgian commandos had almost completely overthrown Azerbaijan.

With Nikoladze's crimes brought to the attention of the world, NATO engages in military action against Georgia, pushing Georgian commandos from Azerbaijan and forcing Nikoladze to go underground. In retaliation, Nikoladze uses highly advanced information warfare algorithms developed by Masse to attack America in what would later be called the 'Georgian Information Crisis'. Masse's attacks targeted military and computer systems as well as transportation and other infrastructure, causing widespread disruption and death. During the crisis, Nikoladze posted webcasts mocking America's efforts and threatening destruction.

Knowing that he would never be able to fight the United States directly, Nikoladze dispersed cells of the Georgian army across the world and made plans to launch a devastating strike. After making a secret alliance with Chinese General Kong Feirong, the head of a splinter faction within the People's Liberation Army, Nikoladze's commandos seized nuclear material from a power plant in the Kola peninsula of Russia. Kong Feirong and his loyal troops seized control of the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar, near the abattoir where Nikoladze was hiding. The captured nuclear material was transported to the embassy where Kong Feirong's men adapted it for military use. Although Sam Fisher destroyed the nuclear material kept by Feirong, Nikoladze was able to smuggle a SADM christened 'The Ark' into Washington.

Following the defeat of his Information Warfare campaign, Grinko, and Feirong, Nikoladze made a deal with the new Georgian President, Varlem Cristavi that he be allowed to return to the Georgian Presidential Palace for reasons that he did not specify. However, Cristavi learned that Nikoladze's reason for returning was to recover a 'key' to the Ark, and made plans to double cross him. Georgian special forces gunned down Nikoladze's guards as he was about to recover the 'key'. In the interests of self-preservation, Nikoladze agreed to provide the new Georgian government with the Ark and it's 'key' in return for sparing his life. However, before he could give the location of the device to President Cristavi, Nikoladze was sniped from across a courtyard by Sam Fisher at the conclusion of the game's final mission.

Because of the mysterious circumstances of his death, sightings and rumours of his survival would abound for several years.

[edit] Philip Masse

Philip Masse was a Canadian computer hacker who was hired by President Nikoladze to disrupt information networks to allow Georgian commandos to invade Azerbeijan unnoticed. Afterwards, he played a major role in disrupting American computer networks as part of an incident known as the Georgian Information Crisis. He was assassinated by Sam Fisher in a later mission that was hinted at in Chaos Theory.

Masse used unique tricks and strategies in computer hacking, including 512-bit encryption. The United Nations created a committee known as "Project Watson" to determine how Masse carried out his operations. In Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory the techniques Masse used became known as the "Masse Kernels" and were considered revolutionary methods of information warfare—so much that Sam Fisher was dispatched specifically to prevent that information from being spread.

[edit] Vyacheslav Grinko

Vyacheslav Grinko is a former Spetznaz (Russian Special Forces) soldier, working as a mercenary for Kombayn Nikoladze. Grimsdottir also speculates that in the early 1990s he may have worked as a sniper in Azerbaijan, gaining seven confirmed kills.

Grinko is responsible for orchestrating the military elements of Nikoladze's campaign, including the planned executions of captured US soldiers and Chinese dignitaries, one of whom was Ambassador Long Dan, on television. He is killed in a firefight with Sam Fisher in an abattoir in Myanmar before the executions could be carried out.

[edit] General Kong Feirong

Kong Feirong is a rogue general, leading a schism of the Chinese Army. He allied himself with Kombayn Nikoladze to start a war between China and America. However, after the failure of the Abattoir executions, Nikoladze abandoned him. The Chinese government learned of his treason and attacked the embassy. Beaten, Kong got himself drunk, and even shot his own men. Sam Fisher interrogated him and made him reveal files of his involvement and the weapon called the 'Ark'. Soon after that Kong committed suicide by drinking poison.

[edit] Long Dan

Long Dan is featured during the Georgian information crisis in the first Splinter Cell. He is the Chinese ambassador to Myanmar, and is being held captive at a slaughter house (Mouke Tsoe Bo Meats) in Yangon. He speaks to Fisher telling him about a rogue Chinese General. (It is hinted in a data stick that Vyacheslav Grinko tortured Long Dan in order to get him to translate what the Chinese officials were talking about between each other). The second time he appears is during Chaos Theory. He is the Chinese ambassador to the U.N trying to broker a peace deal between North and South Korea, and for his actions he is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

[edit] Hamlet

Grinko's personal driver, Sam interrogates him for information on Grinko's meeting with Masse. After that the player can choose to kill him if he wants to, but Lambert will get angry if he does (though it doesn't affect much at all).

[edit] Dr. John E. Baxter

An NSA interrogations expert, Baxter is sent with Wilkes to the CIA HQ in Langley to interrogate the CIA mole Mitchell Dougherty once Fisher has him in custody. They are chatted up by a security agent on the CIA grounds, though he is merely being friendly as NSA members (Sam Fisher, who is dressed in infiltration gear, not looking very friendly) are allowed on CIA properties. He is mentioned in the Chaos Theory Co-Op campaign where he assists in the interrogation of Jong Pom Chu but is never seen.

[edit] Mitchell Dougherty

A CIA analyst working inadvertently with the Georgians, Dougherty's OCD caused him to store his work on a personal laptop. His laptop, not being nearly secure as the CIA's mainframe, was hacked by Georgians. A Georgian technician named Piotr even confirmed that Dougherty did not know what trouble he had caused. As a result of tracking down the leak from the CIA main server, Fisher abducts Dougherty for interrogation by the NSA when he goes for a smoke break. It is unknown what happened to him afterwards. It is also unknown whether the CIA found out that Dougherty's carelessness caused the information attacks.

[edit] Piotr Lejava

A technician on the oil rig carrying an important briefcase that Sam must retrieve using any means necessary. The player can interrogate him, knock him out or kill him to get the briefcase if they choose to on any of these three options.

[edit] Thomas Gurgenidze

A contact for Sam in his first mission. He told Sam why the CIA agents he was assigned to rescue vanished. They were later found dead in a morgue. Gurgenidze is crushed by falling debris after three Russian mafiosos set fire to the warehouse he was in. Fisher found him pinned underneath fallen objects and tried to evacuate him, but Thomas was too far gone; he died before he could fully convey a rather important message to Sam.

[edit] Ivan

A Russian programmer in the Kalinetek Building. He hid in one of the bathrooms calling 911 (he was reconnected to Grim, after three transfers) to come rescue him. In return he would reveal what the Georgians were up to. A Mafioso finds him just before Sam comes in time to save Ivan. Unfortunately for Ivan, Sam came only for his encryption key and Ivan is forced to continue hiding.

[edit] Varlam Cristavi

Cristavi becomes the Georgian acting president after Kombayn Nikoladze is removed from office. He orders the Georgian guards at the presidential palace to kill Nikoladize's men and retrieve the Ark for themselves. Fisher's intervention results in the failure of this plan as well as the deaths of some of Cristavi's guards. Cristavi remains president of Georgia in 2006.

[edit] Andrei Alekseevich

A mercenary colonel for the Georgian military forces, Alekseevich was in charge of the Kola cell in Russia, and was smuggling nuclear warheads in the submarine Vselka. He is friends with Phillip Masse and is present in the cell when Fisher infiltrates the base. During this mission, Alekseevich is forced by Fisher to operate a retinal scanner to open a locked door. (Sam is free to kill him afterwards.) Grim refers to Alekseevich as a Soviet "Darth Vader".

[edit] Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

[edit] Dermot Brunton

D.P. Brunton is the Operations Coordinator of SHADOWNET. In Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow he has a similar role to Irving Lambert, providing Sam Fisher with mission objectives and intelligence over the radio during some of the game's missions. As his operations specifically prohibit live satellite contact between coordinator and operatives, Dermot's function is more bureaucratic and managerial. Lambert heavily dislikes Brunton and even threatens to "demote him to mop duty" when required information does not arrive on time. Additionally, Anna Grimsdóttír thinks that Lambert would love to "smash him" sometimes. He has not been seen or mentioned in the sequels.

[edit] Suhadi Sadono

Suhadi Sadono is the leader of a radical Indonesian guerrilla group known as the Darah Dan Doa (Blood and Prayer), and the main antagonist of Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow.

Sadono has been in the Darah Dan Doa since he was 15 years old. He was trained by the CIA to help fight Communist influences in the region, but felt betrayed when the Americans stopped backing Indonesia and put their support behind East Timor instead, even establishing permanent military bases in East Timor to widen their influence over the region. Resentful of the American interference in his country's autonomy, Sadano eventually decides to declare war on America.

In the beginning of Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, Suhadi personally leads a squad of guerrillas in an attack on the American embassy in East Timor, taking dozens of hostages, including Sam Fisher's old friend Douglas Shetland.

It is revealed later in the game that Sadano has acquired samples of the smallpox virus and placed a series of viral bombs across the United States, threatening to detonate them and release the virus if he is ever killed or captured. He calls this scheme "Pandora Tomorrow".

When Sam Fisher succeeds in disabling the threat of Pandora Tomorrow, Sadano prepares to go underground and wage an extended terrorist campaign against America, using periodic videotaped statements to call for a world revolution against the US. Before he can implement his plan, Sadano is abducted by Sam Fisher and handed over to the CIA for trial.

[edit] Norman Soth

Norman Soth is another major antagonist in Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, as well as the final opponent in the game.

He is a CIA field agent who participated in Operation REDBEARD, establishing US-friendly terrorist cells in Indonesia to fight Communism. One of these cells was the Darah Dan Doa, led by Suhadi Sadono. However, the U.S. Government pulled support of Operation REDBEARD and ended up supporting the Timorese, leaving Soth on his own.

Soth was subsequently severely injured in a land mine explosion, losing his left leg, two of his fingers, and part of his left ear lobe. He had his lost leg replaced with an advanced robotic prothesis.

Soth eventually went underground and aligned himself with Sadono and the DDD, becoming Sadano's chief mercenary. However, Soth had no interest in Sadano's cause, and merely wanted to strike back at America for betraying him earlier.

After Sadono is captured, Soth takes the last canister filled with the smallpox virus and plans to release it at LAX. Sam Fisher confronts Soth inside LAX, and kills him in a shootout.

[edit] Ingrid Karlthson

Ingrid Karlthson (born October 24, 1965 in Atlanta) first came in contact with Sam Fisher while she was a hostage in the Darah Dan Doa's raid on the U.S. Embassy in East Timor in 2006. She is a desk-jockey and provides a translation for a file Fisher received which leads him to the Saulnier Cryogenics lab and later, Norman Soth.

It is later revealed that Karlthson is actually a deep-cover agent planted at the embassy to discern whether or not Soth was still an agency asset. (He was so deep undercover that even the CIA didn't know if he was still working for them.) She is taken by Sadono as a bargaining chip and is taken to the TV station in Jakarta where she assists Fisher in capturing Sadono.

[edit] Francis Coldeboeuf

Francis Coldeboeuf was a security guard at the Saulnier Cryogenics Lab. Back in 2003 he was arrested for invasion of privacy by taking a picture with his cell phone camera. However, when Norman Soth's mercenaries took over the building, he was the only survivor and went into hiding in the secured body processing center, managing to take Soth's picture on his phone's camera. Before the mercenaries manage to break into the room, Fisher reaches him but only for his cellphone for information and a picture of "Mortified Penguin" - Soth. Afterward, Fisher saves Coldeboeuf from being blown up by the mercenaries by shooting off a valve and saturating the mercenaries with a gas used by the cryogenics lab. The exposure to the gas kills the mercenaries before they can detonate their makeshift bomb. Coldeboeuf's status after the incident is not known.

It should be noted that Fisher can either save him or blow up the makeshift bomb (with a fragmentation grenade to avoid the full blast), killing Coldeboeuf. However, Lambert will react coldly to this and tell Fisher that he's up for a visit a shrink. Either way, Francis's living or dying does not mean anything to future missions.

Francis Coldeboeuf is also the name of the co-producer of the single player portion in Splinter cell Pandora-Tomorrow, which most likely is where the name comes from.

[edit] Saul Berkovitz

Sam's first contact in Israel. He gets taken hostage by two thieves who demand his guns and money. Sam quickly disposes of these two and Saul gives Sam a modified version of his SC-20K. If the player chooses to, Saul will lead Sam to an area where he can test out his "new" weapon.

[edit] Azrul Arifin

Sam's CIA contact in deep cover as Sadono's private pilot. Sam plants a bomb on his plane and then later meets up with Azrul to get a code word from him. He warns Azrul to stay away from his plane.

[edit] Dahlia Tal

Dahlia Tal is an undercover agent of the Shin Bet (Israeli Secret Police) who had infiltrated a Syrian terrorist group by pretending to be a corrupt member of Mossad. She assists Sam Fisher during a mission inside Israel in Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow.

In cooperation with Third Echelon, she leads Sam Fisher through the streets of Jerusalem to the terrorist group's headquarters, while helping him evade Israeli police patrols. However, when the two of them finally reach the terrorist headquarters, Lambert radios Fisher and orders him to execute Dahlia immediately. The player is then given the option of either shooting Dahlia or ignoring Lambert's order.

If the player complies and kills Dahlia, Lambert refuses to tell Fisher why he had just been ordered to shoot an unarmed woman. Fisher voices his objections, but Lambert refuses to discuss the matter any further.

If the player chooses to spare Dahlia, she evades Fisher, and Lambert will angrily denounce Fisher, telling him "it's not your job to question!". Lambert will reveal that Shin Bet has double-crossed Third Echelon, and that they are planning on killing Fisher as soon as he retrieves the smallpox virus from the terrorists, because Israel wants to steal the viral weapon for themselves. He also explains that Dahlia is a sharpshooter with sniper stats that could disprove Kennedy assassination theories. Sure enough, Dahlia and 3 other Shin Bet snipers ambush Fisher as soon as he exits the terrorist base. Fisher can kill all 4 of them and escape.

[edit] Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

[edit] Admiral Toshiro Otomo

PROFILE

  • Born: 1955, Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
  • Height: 5′9″
  • Weight: 161 lbs

Admiral Otomo is one of the main antagonists in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. He was the head of Japan's I-SDF (Information Self Defense Force).

Whilst Otomo appeared to be trying to assist the NSA in resolving the East Asian crisis and stopping the war that had broken out between North Korea, South Korea and the USA, he was in fact one of its primary architects. Otomo and the I-SDF had been working with Douglas Shetland, and using information warfare algorithims belonging to Displace International the I-SDF had launched an attack on an American ship from a North Korea missile battery.

When the NSA realised that the I-SDF was working with Shetland, Otomo, a fierce nationalist, sealed the I-SDF's base of operations and demanded that the Japanese government suspend Japan's constitution and return power to the Emperor and the armed forces. When the Japanese government refused these demands, Otomo attempted to fire a North Korean Nuclear missile upon a Japanese city, knowing that the people of Japan would demand retaliation in the event of such an attack. The launch was stopped by Sam Fisher, who destroyed the I-SDF's servers and thus their capability to launch Information Warfare attacks. After attempting to commit seppuku by stabbing himself with a blade, Otomo was rescued by Fisher and bought before a U.N War Tribunal where his honour dictated that he admit his actions and plead guilty.

[edit] Frank Mason

Frank Mason is the Secretary of Defense under President Bowers during the events of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. In response to North Korea and China's blockade of Japan, Mason sent the USS Clarence E. Walsh to the Yellow Sea to reaffirm the US commitments to Japan.

Later, Mason joined Bowers and Lambert in deciding the course of action to take place over the several days after the sinking of the Walsh.

Mason uses a very hardline approach when dealing with problems. While he encouraged the President to send out troops (and, at one point, to use nuclear devices to stop the Korea conflict), Lambert managed to talk him down, preventing a terrible crisis.

[edit] Captain Arthur Partridge

PROFILE

Arthur Partridge was captain of the USS Clarence E. Walsh and one of the Navy's top commanders, on course to become an admiral. A longtime friend of Sam Fisher's, Partridge was his commanding officer for a short time when Sam was a Navy SEAL, and the two maintained a good relationship over the years.

Partridge captained the Walsh into the Yellow Sea under orders of the President. He was killed along with his crew, when a hijacked North Korean Silkworm anti-ship missile hit and sunk the ship. The Walsh was more than capable of defending against the attack, but a Masse Kernel-related attack crippled it, leading to the antiquated missile being able to send it straight to the bottom.

[edit] Milan Nedićh (Real Name: Milos Nowak)

  • Birth: 1970, Place of Birth Unknown
  • Died: July 4, 2007, Hokkaido, Japan
  • Height: 5′11″
  • Weight: 189 lbs

Milan Nedićh was a ranking member of Displace International, and was in charge of the Abrahim Zherkezhi and Bruce Morgenholt protection details. Initially believed to be responsible for playing both the US and Displace over Morgenholt's death and the Masse Kernels, it is later discovered that he was working under orders from Douglas Shetland, Displace's CEO.

Nedićh's real name is Milos Nowak, a wanted war criminal from the Bosnian Conflict. He was known as "The Barber of Bosnia" due to allegedly scalping a number of his prisoners. Nedich was eventually killed by Sam Fisher when he broke Nedich's back with his knee after interrogating him in a Hokkaidō mountain retreat in Japan.

[edit] Hugo Lacerda

PROFILE

  • Born: 1972, El Salvador
  • Died: June 25, 2007, Cargo Ship
  • Height: 5′9″
  • Weight: 128 lbs

Hugo Lacerda was a Peruvian separatist revolutionary and the leader of a communist guerilla organization called "The People's Voice." He is responsible for the kidnapping and murder of American computational theorist Bruce Morgenholt, but leaves his island fortress hideout before Fisher can find and kill him. Lacerda boards the Maria Narcissa, guarded by a pair of Displace bodyguards. However, Fisher is able to infiltrate the Maria Narcissa and interrogate Lacerda over Morgenholt's death. Lacerda is then killed by Fisher, as per Third Echelon's orders.

[edit] Abrahim Zherkezhi

PROFILE

  • Born: 1960, Warsaw, Poland
  • Died: July 4, 2007, in Hokkaido, Japan
  • Height: 6′3″
  • Weight: 207 lbs

Abrahim Zherkezhi was a computer genius and worked with Dr. Bruce Morgenholt in studying the Masse Kernels for the UN following the Georgian information crises, and then abruptly disappeared from public life.

It is later learned that Zherkezhi had taken protection from Displace International. He allowed Douglas Shetland to use his 'Dvorak' algorithms, though unaware of Shetland's intentions. After the blackouts of the Eastern Coast and Japan, Sam Fisher was sent to Zherkezhi's penthouse to locate the 'Dvorak' only to learn it was an infinite state machine. Fisher also learned Displace relocated Zherkezhi to Hokkaidō.

While Fisher attempted to kidnap Zherkezhi, Shetland arrived beforehand and murdered Zherkezhi with a katana in the Hokkaidō retreat to hide evidence of his involvement (if Sam neutralizes the guard outside and goes up to the door Shetland will kill Zherkezhi with a gun instead).

[edit] Bruce Morgenholt

PROFILE

Bruce Morgenholt worked alongside Abrahim Zherkezhi in studying the Masse Kernels after the Georgian information crises. He was kidnapped by a group of Peruvian revolutionaries under Hugo Lacerda, and was tortured for information of the Masse Kernels. Ironically, it was Displace International who hired Lacerda, the same company protecting him.

He died from his torture before Sam Fisher could rescue him.

[edit] Thomas "The Turtle" Standish

Thomas Standish is a British specialist bank thief with expertise in cracking high security bank vault systems. He was eventually caught and sent to prison, but is allowed to remotely help Fisher and Third Echelon break into a bank in Panama.

[edit] Kaneda

Shetland's I-SDF contact in the Bathhouse, Kaneda meets with Shetland in order to purchase the weaponized algorithms. He gets into a heated argument with Shetland during the meeting, believing that he is being doublecrossed and orders his I-SDF bodyguard to kill Shetland. However, Shetland shoots Kaneda's bodyguard first, and then over pleas for mercy, shoots Kaneda in the head, killing him instantly.

[edit] Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Co-Op

[edit] Agent One and Agent Two

Agent One and Agent Two were Splinter Cells-in-training in Chaos Theory until the Korean conflict began. They were sent together as a team to discover other deals by a Panamanian banker who made deals between Displace and Hugo Lacerda. They learned that he made deals with a North Korean scientist, Jong Pom-Chu. They are sent into wartorn Seoul and capture Jong. They discover that Jong had been developing a chemical weapon and are sent to a silo in North Korea to locate a strain of the virus and create a vaccine. The Korean conflict was over by then, but they learned that North Korean Colonel Kim had refused to lay down arms and led a rogue faction of the army to plant bombs within New York. The two agents head to the train station and disable the bomb. They head back to North Korean soil to learn that Kim had the ability to strike a final time, at the UN Headquarters. The duo team return to New York at the UN HQ, where they kill Kim and disable the last bomb.

They return in Double Agent in the XBOX, PS2 and Gamecube versions to finish the mission that Sam Fisher began in Iceland. They destroy the factory and are then sent to Ellsworth Penitentiary to begin a riot to allow Fisher to escape the prison. They are then sent to Kinshasa to find weapons that the rebels had bought and destroy the bunker. Afterward, they head to the tanker stolen by Fisher, disarming various bombs.

[edit] Señor Segundo Ruiz De Medeiros

The vice president for the Panama Administration Building. He had dealings with Hugo Lacerda and Jeong Pom-Chu. The Agents interrogate him for information on security systems and codes. However they are ordered by Lambert to not kill him under any circumstances.

[edit] Colonel Kim

Colonel Kim is an officer in the North Korean Army. He is the main antagonist of the co-op storyline of Chaos Theory. He refused to lay down arms against the Americans and led a rogue faction of deserters to continue to wage war with America. He planted chemical bombs developed by Jong Pom-Chu in New York at the train station and at the UN Headquarters. The Splinter Cell Duo team disabled his bombs and killed Kim at the UN headquarters.

[edit] Chu

A comrade of Colonel Kim who is in charge of the New York Penn Station takeover. A Splinter Cell agent killed Chu by breaking his back with his knee after interrogating him.

[edit] Jong Pom-Chu

Jong Pom-Chu is a North Korean scientist who developed a deadly virus to attack the Americans. The Splinter Cell Duo team abducted him and the NSA interrogated him, learning he gave the virus to Colonel Kim.

[edit] Splinter Cell: Double Agent

Since there are two different games/versions with two completely different storylines (despite having the same general plot), there are two (unofficial) shortcut terms to differentiate the games.
Version 1 - The Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC versions.
Version 2 - The Xbox, Playstation 2, Nintendo GameCube and Nintendo Wii versions.

[edit] Massoud Ibn-Yussiff

An ally of Emile Dufraisne and Alejandro Tawfir, who is plotting to blow up Mexico City with a chemical weapon. A news broadcast at the end of the game states he was arrested by FBI agents.

In Version 2, Massoud meets with Emile and Tawkfir in Kinshasa. He tells them that his men will crew the tanker Sam had stolen, and pilot it into the Los Angeles harbor with one of the nuclear weapons (in which three Red Mercury bombs are disarmed by Agents One and Two). He then receives a call from one of his men, and learns an agent, Hisham Hamza, had infiltrated his group. He then leaves the meeting to conduct the search for Hamza.

[edit] Alejandro Tawkfir

An ally of Emile Dufraisne and Massoud Ibn-Yussiff, who is planning to blow up Los Angeles with a chemical weapon. It is assumed he was arrested at the end of the game since a news broadcast states that everyone who was involved with the plot had been secured.

In Version 2, Tawkfir had stolen the weapons from Raheem Kadir in Iceland. Tawkfir eventually allied with Massoud and Emile to use his nuclear weapons.

[edit] Doctor Abdul Ahmad Aswat

A Pakistani nuclear scientist who meets Emile and Massoud to sell nuclear documents and Red Mercury. Emile orders Sam to steal the documents on how to make Red Mercury when Emile refuses to pay Aswat because the price is too high. Sam steals the documents and killing Aswat becomes a primary objective given to Sam Fisher by Agent Hisham, an undercover CIA agent. Hisham refers to doctor Aswat as a "liability". If Sam does not succeed in killing Aswat, he will lose NSA trust. He only appears in Version 1.

[edit] Barnham

An inmate in Ellsworth Penitentiary who is a bully to Jamie Washington but an important witness to the department of justice. In Version 2, Sam has the choice to either knock him out or kill him. If Sam kills him he gains Jamie trust even more. If Sam spares Barnham, Jamie won't be too happy. In Version 1, he's a nameless inmate that Jamie fights and knocks out in order to start a riot.

[edit] Emile Dufraisne

PROFILE

Emile Dufraisne is the main antagonist of Splinter Cell: Double Agent. He is the founder and leader of the JBA (John Brown's Army), an American terrorist organization. An imposing figure with a shaved head and a Southern drawl, Emile has always believed he was destined for greatness; in his teens he orchestrated the brutal murder of a local police man, and was surrounded by suspicious deaths during his term in juvenile detention. He despises the United States government, believing it to be corrupt, and feels the only way to achieve social change is through radical revolution.

For a long time, he's been dreaming of more ambitious plans for the JBA, an organization that has frequently been suspected of but never tied to any criminal activity. Ultimately, Emile is willing to sacrifice both his operatives and himself for his insane ideals, as is shown near the end of the game when he sets the Red Mercury bomb to blow up most of New York City and all of the JBA with it. Some think of him as a terroist, but he considers himself a patriot.

In Version 1 of Double Agent, Emile is simply one of several terrorists guarding the Red Mercury bomb at the center of the JBA Headquarters underneath New York City. The player can simply sneak up on him and shoot him to death like any other enemy character. The player can also interrogate Emile after corner grabbing him. Emile will tell Sam to give it up and he also tells him that killing him would only mean that Sam would meet him in Hell; the player can then either knock him out or kill him.. If you grab him the other way, he fights back, but Sam kills him.

In Version 2 of Double Agent, Sam confronts Emile in a climactic one-on-one shootout within a maze of laser mines atop a New York city skyscraper during the level "New York". Sam eventually kills Emile, then disarms the Red Mercury bomb, saving New York City. Tossing a flash-bang into his sight will stun him, allowing him to be grabbed. Emile will say "Well played, Fisher. Well played." Emile will continue to talk, but his talking runs awfully long, usually getting close to the timer of the bomb (assuming Emile decided to arm it.)

[edit] Hisham Hamza

PROFILE

Part of a new initiative within the Department of Defense, Hisham's capacity for quick learning made him an excellent candidate to act as a field liaison between CIA and the NSA. Following the CIA's orders, Hisham managed to get recruited in the Massoud group and is acting now as a double agent. He's ready to do whatever it takes to stop the menacing plans of the JBA—even sacrificing himself for the right cause.

Eventually, Emile will order Sam to kill Hisham when he discovers that he is a mole. Whether Sam kills him or helps him escape (by freeing him from the palace and blowing the whole place up to make it look like he is dead) is up to the player.

In Version 2, Hisham is Sam's partner during the Iceland mission. He discovers traces of radiation in the labs and evacuates with Sam when Lambert calls the mission off. He then joins Massoud's group as a double agent, until he is discovered. During the Kinshasa mission, the player can either kill Hisham and stuff his body in a car for J.B.A. trust, or escort Hisham to a parking lot and hoist him over the fence facilitating his escape.

[edit] Carson Moss

PROFILE

Carson Moss was summarily dismissed from PMC, Displace International in 1999 when he severed the ring finger on every man, woman, and child in a small Kazakhstani village "in order to demonstrate the consequences of harboring kidnappers." In 2003 he enlisted in JBA as head of security. A hotheaded man, Carson is disliked by many of the members of John Brown's Army, but no one dares challenge or question him, save Jamie Washington. He bullies everyone in the group, except Emile (for obvious reasons) and Enrica, probably because of her status as the only female in the JBA. He works out incessantly and is extremely strong. It is also noted that he played high school football and badly hurt his knee; to this day he isn't as agile as he once was.

In the end of Version 1, Sam finds Moss on a Coast Guard ship in New York City attempting to set off a bomb, you can try to grab Moss but he will then unloosen himself, after which Sam knees him in the testicles and then breaks his neck. In Version 2, Moss is guarding a bomb in a skyscraper, also in New York City, and Sam kills him there as well.

In 'Splinter Cell: Essentials, Moss captures a recording of Sam Fisher and Irving Lambert discussing the mission to infiltrate the JBA. Sam alters the recording to keep his own cover, replacing his voice with someone named "Dave". Later Moss is in a room with Dusfrane. They had captured Lambert, and Moss played the recording in order uncover Sam's true identity, but is foiled by the modified recording. Moss apologizes for making the mistake. Although he was sure he had heard Sam's voice originally, he had no way to prove what he heard. Moss stood by while Dusfrane gave Sam the order to shoot Lambert.

[edit] Enrica Villablanca

PROFILE

A brilliant young woman with a PhD in biochemistry, she works with Emile Dufraisne for the JBA. She seems to be the most medically trained of the JBA, as she can be seen working in the infirmary. It would seem, however, that she is working for him against her will, due to threats from Emile exposing her to the police about her involvement in a "monkey wrenching" protest where a security guard was accidentally killed. She is a possible love interest for Sam Fisher; they can have an encounter in her quarters after Sam cracks Emile's safe.

She is Sam's contact in some of his missions, including when he must place a bomb on a cruise ship to test it's effectiveness. She tries to cover up her insecurities with a wall of overall competence and disdain for some of her less skilled colleagues.

It is also noted that she seems to be one of the few JBA members that Fisher has any sort of personal connection with.

In Version 2, the game uses their relationship as a main plot point, and in the final level they plan on running away together after Sam stops the JBA at the end of the game. However, she is killed by an Splinter Cell agent sent by Williams. Sam then kills the agent.

In Version 1, Sam seduces Enrica in order to coverup his being in restricted areas. However, the relationship hinted in the ads and appears in Version 2 doesn't actually appear to have shown up in this version. In fact, Sam can frame Enrica by preventing the bomb from exploding during the Cozumel mission. Emile will kill her for her failure, and Sam seems indifferent to it. (At least, he never tells anybody whether or not he feels bad about it.) But if he lets it explode, she will help Sam later on near the end of the game by giving him his SC-20K and goggles if he forgot to collect them from the firing range and by opening a retinal scanner locked door. Enrica then walks over to her office, and Sam can either leave her alone or grab her and kill her.

[edit] Jamie Washington

PROFILE

Jamie is a study in contrasts. On one hand, he's generally cheerful and easy-going, and once he decides he likes somebody, they're friends for life. On the other hand he can be vicious and cruel, causing harm to anyone who gets in his way. He is an active member of the JBA. If a JBA member is interrogated in Version 2, he will reveal that Jamie was arrested and convicted for "a bogus kidnapping charge. If they knew what he really did, Jamie would be sent straight to the chair."

Jamie has a heart condition, as found out by reading some e-mails at the JBA. Jamie is equipped with a pacemaker, keeping his heart steady.

Sam helps him break out of Ellsworth Penitentiary, so he can get invited into John Brown's Army. In Splinter Cell: Essentials, Sam helps him break out of Leavenworth Penitentiary instead.

Jamie and Moss seem to not get along very well, as Fisher sees when he is snooping around. In the end, Fisher will eventually either kill Jamie instead of Lambert in Version 1, or kill him later on.

In Version 2, Sam kills Jamie on the snowbound rooftops level. In the rooftop level, Fisher can use his OCP to short-circuit Jamie's pace maker, stopping Jamie's heart and killing him. If interogated, Jamie will express initial disbelief that Sam is a "traitor", claiming he knows Sam too well to believe it, before Sam remarks Jamie didn't know him at all.

[edit] Stanley Dayton

Dayton is a JBA computer hacker and head of the security systems. He also creates the hacking program for Enrica to use on the Cozumel cruise ship. He despises nearly every member of the JBA leadership with the exception of Enrica Villablanca because she is a woman. He is also plagued by nightmares and illnesses. He has also been considered a hypochondriac, as well as being in the worst health in the JBA. He only appears in Version 1. Sam can interrogate him to find out Emile's location in the last level by corner grabbing him. Sam then killed Dayton by breaking his neck.

[edit] B.J. Sykes

PROFILE

Billy-Jo Sykes is a JBA computer hacker and head of the security systems in Version 2 and is basically a different version of Stanley Dayton. He is least liked of all the JBA members. Sykes was an introvert who talks to himself because he doesn't like to talk with others. Although Sykes is notorious for jumping to paranoid conclusion, Emile respects his technical skills and Sykes sticks around because he gets to play with the JBA's high-tech systems. Emile respects him greatly, for he is the only one trusted to run solo on errands outside the JBA.

Sykes is believed to have a form of Schizophrenia, causing him to dislike people and talk to himself aloud. His nature may also be linked to an Inferiority complex, for he stands at only 5'7".

He ultimately reveals Sam's status as a spy to Emile during the HALO jump in the New York rooftop operation.

Sykes is killed along with Jamie Washington in the snowtops level.

[edit] Cole Yeagher

PROFILE (Version 2)

In Version 1, Cole is a WNN pilot who is kidnapped by Sam and Jamie after they steal his helicopter after breaking out of Ellsworth Penitentiary. Emile orders Sam to execute Cole when they arrive at the JBA's HQ in New York City with a gun carrying one bullet. If Sam decides to miss his shot on purpose, then Jamie will kill Cole instead and Sam will lose a little JBA trust. Sam's decision doesn't affect the rest of the storyline, unlike later decisions.

In Version 2, Cole Yeagher is a member of the JBA. However, he plans to overthrow Emile and take it over, though Emile suspects it. Emile sends Sam Fisher to find out what he can about Cole, and to bring it to him. Lambert tells Fisher to give the information to the NSA, so they can capture Cole and find information.

If Sam gives the information he finds to Lambert, then the NSA takes Cole and interrogate him for information, but if Sam gives it to Emile, Emile has Cole killed and dumps his body in the river.

[edit] John Hodge

An over-enthusiastic rookie Third Echelon NSA agent. He is Sam's partner during the Iceland mission, tasked with creating a covert entrance to the facility. During the mission, he breaks from his assignment of covering Sam to enter the facility over Sam's and Lambert's protests. As Sam enters the launch facility through a disabled air vent, he watches as John is confronted by an armed guard. Despite John surrendering, the guard shoots him several times, killing him instantly. John appears only in Version 1.

[edit] Splinter Cell: Essentials

[edit] Edward Blake

  • Born: 1985, Halingen, Texas
  • Height: 6' 2"
  • Weight: 220 lbs.

Edward Blake was recruited into the NSA from Texas A&M University, where he was pursuing a double major in Political Science and Psychology. After joining the agency he became a field analyst specializing in the debriefing of foreign intelligence assets. Despite a notable lack of patience and a willingness to resort to physical methods of interrogation, his success record is one of the highest in the agency.

He was in charge of interrogating Sam Fisher after he was captured by the NSA after the events of "Double Agent". Sam Fisher was able to escape from him and hide in William Redding's office.

[edit] Mikey

Convict serving time in Leavenworth Penitentiary, Kansas. HE had killed a couple of FBI agents during a shootout. He received life in prison instead of the death penalty because he turned in Jamie Washington. Jamie Washington wanted revenge, so he ordered Sam Fisher to kill Mikey in order for Sam to gain Jamie's trust. Sam had the choice of knocking him out and claiming he murdered him or killing him in order to get on Jamie Washington's good side.

[edit] Captain Moore

Fisher's commander in Norte De Santander, Columbia while he was in the Navy Seals in 1992. He ordered fisher not to go after Douglas Shetland who had been captured by guerrillas. Fisher chose not to follower orders due to being special ops, and to keep Shetland from spilling any information to the enemy. Captain Moore conceded to Sam but told him that he was on his own.
