Elena agrees and meets up with them after it's all over. “A Thief's End” sees Nate and Elena settled down together, though Elena isn't impressed when Nate, yet again, heads into danger because he can't resist the call to adventure. However, Elena and Nate eventually come to an understanding, their relationship stronger than ever for it.

The sequels completely flipped the dynamic, with Elena now keeping Nate's reckless and obsessive tendencies in check.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

* CallToAdventure: Like Drake she isn’t immune to this type of lifestyle. Despite giving a normal life a try she comes to admit that while “illegal and life threatening” adventures aren’t her style, she does love the thrill of being an adventurous photographer. In fact it takes a lot of goading on her part to get Drake to admit this as well, who wanted to abandon the life threatening adventures they have been on. She reconciles this by buying a salvage company, and by using her connections operate as legal archaeology and salvage firm, with all the legal protections it implies. So they get the thrill of treasure seeking and the bonus of no bloodthirsty maniacs to fight.

This is proven correct in ''Drake's Deception'', which reveals Nate is actually an orphaned boy who grew up in a Catholic orphanage called "St. Francis", which is where he grew his fascination with the great sailor's exploits. During his teens he spent his days as a street criminal in the alleyways of Cartegena, Colombia and made up his lineage from Francis Drake as part of his ChangelingFantasy.

Elena tries to avert this trope by encouraging Nate to take a potentially risky job in Malaysia at the beginning of ''A Thief's End'' while Nate demurs because he doesn't want to go adventuring again. In general, though, she's set up as this trope before the games systematically detail that she's actually an aversion. In ''Among Thieves'', she's in Nepal on her own, pursuing Lazarevic as an investigative journalist and puts herself in extraordinary physical danger to help Nate stop him. In ''Drake's Deception'', she willingly helps Sully and Nate track search the Yemeni city for clues on the path to Ubar and helps Nate break into Marlowe's airbase so that he can rescue Sully. After this, Sully outright tells Nate he's not giving her enough credit, and he's right. What she can't stand, understandably, is Nate lying to her.
