Samuel_Fisher

Sam Fisher was born in 1957 in Towson, Maryland. While not much is known of his childhood, it is known that Sam attended a military boarding school after the death of his parents when he was young and that he majored in Political Science while at the U.S Naval Academy. During the mid-1980s, Sam was working for the CIA, under the cover of being deployed as a diplomatic aide in Eastern Europe where he later met a NSA cryptanalyst named Regan Burns in the then-Soviet Socialist Republic of Georgia. They had a “stormy” affair and Regan got pregnant. After learning of the pregnancy, they had a small, quiet wedding ceremony at a U.S. military base in Frankfurt, Germany, where their only child, whom they both named Sarah, was later born on May 31, 1985. It was a distant, difficult marriage. Sam and Regan eventually separated after three years of marriage. Regan went back to the United States and took Sarah with her, reclaiming her maiden name and changing Sarah’s. Sam became estranged from Regan and Sarah as he dedicated himself to his work, operating extensively in Afghanistan (during and after the Soviet invasion), “East Germany, and the Soviet satellites in the years leading up to the collapse of the USSR”. Regan later died from ovarian cancer when Sarah was fifteen, sometime around 1999 and 2000. Sam gained custody of Sarah and he took a bureaucratic job with the CIA in the United States.
