History WMG / Uncharted

The series gets quite a lot of accusations of UnfortunateImplications and MoralDissonance on Drake's part. Naughty Dog would probably take the moment to have the villains and other characters call Drake out on his OneManArmy tendencies (and unlike Lazarevic make it look more than just the villain trying to psyche him out).

The MacGuffin of the first game was a [[ZombieApocalypse Zombie Plague]]. The second was a SuperSerum. Perhaps they'll even have Drake be part of an ancient warrior bloodline of inherently {{Badass Normal}}s with {{Healing Factor}}s.

16th century English playwright ChristopherMarlowe's mother was named Catherine, with some sources [[SpellMyNameWithAnS spelling it as "Katherine"]]. He was also rumored to be a spy for Queen Elizabeth I, who had, among others, Sir Francis Drake as a part of her entourage. During his journeys, Drake discovered the Atlantis of the Sands, the lost city in the Arabian desert, and found within it the Fountain of Youth. Katherine acquired the waters of the Fountain and used them to prolong her life indefinitely. The city was lost when Drake died, and now Katherine is trying to find it again, possibly to get more water (the effects of the Fountain may be finite) or to find her son Christopher (who may still be in the Atlantis of the Sands).

[[WMG: Katherine Marlowe is also a descendant of Sir Francis Drake]]

[[WMG: Katherine Marlowe is Sully's ex]]

* On the 500 Days of Summer page it's all but [[WordOfGod confirmed]] that the narrator of the film is an older Tom Hansen. On the Inception WMG page it's proposed that after breaking up with [[spoiler: Autumn]] Tom changed his name to Arthur and the events of Inception happened. Now the link between all this and Uncharted is the fact that both Victor Sullivan and the narrator in 500 Days of Summer are played by Richard McGonagle. Therefore fun crazy ideas say that after a rich career in dream theft Arthur grew old, changed his name to Victor Sullivan, started engaging in regular theft, eventually met Drake etc.

[[WMG: Victor Sullivan is both Tom from [[FiveHundredDaysOfSummer 500 Days of Summer]] and Arthur from Inception]]

** Nope those are just generic enemies from the first game.

*** That's actually pretty plausible, if you tweak some fine details... Nate was just a somewhat small-time treasure hunter until Abstergo contacted him to help them find Pieces of Eden. Nate went entirely voluntarily, unaware of their cover for the Templars. Because he went of his own free will, they only contacted him every once in a while. After a few sessions in the Animus, they temporarily let him go, and due to the bleeding effect, he became proficient in firearms and parkour. ''Drake's Fortune'' happens. Abstergo contacts him again, more sessions in the Animus. This time though, Nate learns a bit of their background, and secretly decides to oppose them, becoming an Assassin. More bleeding effects; this time Nate learns to be stealthy, as well as more climbing. Abstergo, unaware of his opposition, lets him go. ''Among Thieves'' happens; Nate opposes Lazarevic because fighting Abstergo taught him about what happens to power in the wrong hands (plus, y'know, for the money). Other stuff happens. Eventually, Abstergo re-captures him and holds him against his will; the bleeding effect comes into full force, and he goes insane. ''AssassinsCreed'' happens.

* Recently, Uncharted 2's multiplayer mode was patched so that the level cap was rasied to 80. With this were given two rewards for reaching levels 70 and 80 -- two villain skins called Dutch and Blain. They aren't joke skins like Doughnut Drake or Skelzor and they don't seem to be based on any existing character in the franchise, so there's so far no obvious explanation for where they came from and why they're the rewards for the players that have played the most. Unless they aren't important now, but [[ChekhovsGunman will be later]] -- possibly as the next game's main villains.

** Pieces of Eden are high technology left from Those Who Came Before after their civilization was wiped out, and [[AssassinsCreed Assassin's Creed 2]] eshtablishes that they come in practical forms like staves and swords in addition to the "apples." El Dorado and the Tree of Life don't fit this pattern. Alternatively, El Dorado (or rather, the plague it contains) and the Tree of Life are simply ''natural'' holdovers from the way the world was before the solar flare that wiped out Those Who Came Before and nearly wiped out the first of humanity. The Tree of Life could've been what allowed humanity to rise up against their masters in the first place, and some of them couldn't help but overdose on it, becoming the Guardians.
