Sully Is Actually Alive! – Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
In the early chapters of Drake’s Fortune, the first Uncharted game, Sully and Nate leave Elena and go in search of El Dorado, the lost city of gold. Sully is in some serious debt and owes some scary people money so was counting on the rewards from their hunt. They follow the trail to a German U-Boat, Nathan goes to explore the inside of it while Sully stays on the shore. When Drake returns, the player finds that Sully has let Gabriel Roman, the guy he owes money, know about the hunt as a kind of promise that the money will be coming soon. Roman takes the map from Drake and shoots Sully in the chest. The expectation is that Sully has been killed, but isn’t the case.
Drake finds out that he is alive when Elena captures footage of him getting into a helicopter with Roman and Navarro. He pretends to help the bad guys so that he can stay alive and look for the treasure himself, with the hope of being rescued. Having played such as huge role in the early moments of the game, Sully was never going to be actually dead.
