The majority of you reading this have probably gone on N4G and took notice of the ridiculous amounts of Uncharted 2 reviews that have gone up from just about every single publication besides ours. Don't fret, ladies and gentlemen, we promise to bring you a review in the coming days.

Now, anyone who's seen Uncharted 2 will tell you that the game will, one way or another, cause your eyes to secrete genital fluids. How? I don't know. Unless, of course, you're an Xbot, you'll wholeheartedly agree with me on this. At this point, PS3 fans are rejoicing, getting drunk, fingering each other - doing the things that people only do on New Year's Eve with the addition of excessively ridiculing the 360 fans for their enjoyment. 360 fanboys... well, they're probably outside somewhere kicking rocks, or strangling their parents in dysphoria. Whatever the case, Uncharted 2 has met the expectations of just about every single person in the industry, including developers.

So, in an attempt to further tickle your pickles, we are providing you all with character bios from the Uncharted 2 game so that you can familiarize yourselves with who's who when you play the game. Of course, you'll all recall the "main" characters, but, there are some new additions to the cast that might be worth taking a look at.Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Character Bios

Nathan Drake

As a modern-day fortune-hunter, Drake operates within a rough, lawless world occupied by treasure-seekers, antiquities smugglers, con men and thieves.  Unlike his associates, Drake is driven more by the historical intrigue and thrill of the hunt, than the promise of the treasure itself.  He may or may not be a descendant of Sir Francis Drake, the great 16th-century explorer and privateer – but regardless of his lineage, Drake is gifted with a remarkable historical imagination and an uncanny ability to unravel mysteries from only the barest clues.

Although he’s smart and self-educated, Drake tends to conceal his intellectual side when dealing with the rogues gallery of dangerous individuals who haunt the gray-market underworld of the illegal antiquities trade.  In his dubious line of work, Drake finds himself confronting everything from guerillas to drug traffickers, modern-day pirates, rival salvage companies, and frequently the law – so he’s had to learn how to handle himself in tight situations, whether it means guns, fists, charm, or the occasional hasty exit.  In the end, Drake survives by his wits, tenacity and resourcefulness – and a dash of good old-fashioned luck.

Elena Fisher

Drake’s former companion, Elena has since graduated from tabloid reporter to a legitimate investigative journalist, and now tracks stories in some of the most dangerous and war-torn corners of the world.  She’s as stubborn and tenacious as Drake is, and determined to such a degree that it is both her greatest virtue and her greatest fault.

Chloe Frazer

Drake’s current partner and romantic interest, Chloe is as tough and capable as she is beautiful. She’s equally comfortable in a gunfight or a fistfight – whatever the occasion demands.  Chloe’s a good ally, but her moral compass is uncertain, and her reckless and impulsive nature makes her somewhat unpredictable.

Harry Flynn

A longtime friend and associate of Drake’s, Flynn operates within the same shady underworld of fortune hunters, smugglers and thieves that Drake inhabits.  Flynn possesses a certain roguish charm, but he’s far more unscrupulous than Drake, and will take just about any job if the profit’s good – regardless of any moral or legal implications.

Victor Sullivan

A larger-than-life Hemingwayesque character, Sullivan is Drake’s partner, mentor and the closest thing he’s got to a father figure.  He’s a seasoned adventurer, explorer and treasure hunter – the consummate con man in a world of con men – and knows just about everyone connected to the illicit antiquities trade.

Zoran Lazarevic

A rogue paramilitary leader and fugitive war criminal, notorious for committing unspeakable massacres and atrocities.  Believed to have been killed in a bombing raid, Lazarevic survived (though he bears the scars of the attack), and now operates in the shadows as the leader of a secret terrorist society.  Ice-cold and relentlessly ambitious, Lazarevic is an imposing figure with a ruthless intensity and a dark magnetism that’s both terrifying and hypnotic.

Karl Schäfer

The sole survivor of a failed expedition to the Himalayas in 1938, Schäfer has been living among the locals of a remote Tibetan village for seventy years.  As a fellow explorer, Schäfer is able to provide critical information and guidance at a time when Drake needs it most.

Tenzin

A leader in his remote Tibetan village, Tenzin joins Drake halfway through his perilous journey.  Their partnership is made awkward by the language barrier – Tenzin speaks only Tibetan, and Drake only English – forcing them to communicate largely through gesture.  Despite this obstacle, Tenzin becomes one of Drake’s most trusted allies.

Don't worry, people. Uncharted 2 is only a couple of days away and it seems like a lifetime. Do what I do: stack your shelves with Chef Boyardee and sit home and play games until that day comes - time goes by faster when you game.
