Background

Lead character artist Martin Caya established in early interviews about the game that during his career Fisher had served in Afghanistan, where he had an experience in which he was forced to hide under dead bodies in order to avoid being killed. Afghanistan /æfˈgænɪstæn/ officially the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan ( Pashto: د افغانستان اسلامي جمهوریت, Caya also established that Fisher had served in East Germany and in "other Soviet satellite countries leading up to the collapse of the USSR. The German Democratic Republic ( GDR; Deutsche Demokratische Republik DDR; commonly known in English as East Germany) was a Socialist state The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR was a constitutionally Socialist state that existed in Eurasia from 1922 to 1991 "

The novel establishes that he hated his time in the CIA, and that he mostly had official cover (i. e. he was a "diplomatic aide"). The "Bank" mission in Chaos Theory established that he served in Kuwait, where he said he spent most of 1989 lying in a ditch on the road between Baghdad and Kuwait. The State of Kuwait ( دولة الكويت IPA [dawlatt̪ alkuwajt̪]) is a sovereign Arab Emirate on the coast of the Persian Gulf, enclosed The "Bank" mission also established that he served in Panama when the U. S overthrew Manuel Noriega (see Operation Just Cause) and raided the same bank during the conflict. Manuel Antonio Noriega (born February 11, 1934) He was never officially the President of Panama, but held the post of "chief executive officer" The United States invasion of Panama, codenamed Operation Just Cause, was the Invasion of Panama by the United States in December 1989 The end of the training mission in the first Splinter Cell game established that he served in the First Gulf War when Lambert tells Wilkes that Sam served in that war.

In the beginning of the second game, a conversation between Fisher and Douglas Shetland established Fisher had served with the Navy SEALs, and that he left the Navy in 1996 ("I haven't been Navy for a decade"). It also been established in the first game, Splinter Cell, in the interview with Sam found in the extra features, he says he was with both Navy SEALS and Third Echelon, ("They're all good people"). Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is a series of Video games endorsed by American author Tom Clancy. Other than for anti-terrorist operations, which are the purview of SEAL Team 6 (now known as DEVGRU), only SEAL Team 3 has a Middle Eastern Area of Responsibility (AOR). The United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group, commonly known as DEVGRU or SEAL Team Six ( ST6) by civilians is the United States

Personality

As a covert agent of the government, Fisher approaches his target objectives in a gruff, no-nonsense manner, but maintains a light-hearted relationship with his colleagues and even with his momentary hostages (even if he is going to kill them) . Fisher has little patience for government bureaucracy or political maneuvering. A political realist, Fisher maintains a cynical, jaded and sarcastic sense of humor about the covert, illegal, and often morally ambiguous nature of his work. In Pandora Tomorrow, when Lambert informs Fisher that "Nobody knows whether he(Norman Soth)'s a US Agent or a terrorist" Fisher replies that "Those things aren't mutually exclusive. "

At the same time, he is highly loyal and a staunch believer in the ideals his work ultimately protects. He is quickly angered by the casual slaughter of civilians or unarmed military personnel by his enemies.

In the original Splinter Cell, Fisher is a new member of Third Echelon, and thus his interactions with his commander Colonel Lambert are relatively straightforward and respectful. At the same time, Fisher does drop the occasional "smart" comment at particularly unusual or obtuse mission orders. For instance, during the final level in Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow, Sam is in an elevator that shuts down when his enemies cut the power. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow is a third-person Stealth-based video game developed and published by Ubisoft Shanghai, while Ubisoft Lambert informs him that the lights went out, and Sam retorts with a sarcastic, "Thanks, Lambert. --> "

In Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Fisher is shown as rather ruthless towards his enemies, and he appears fairly disappointed when Lambert orders him to avoid enemy fatalities as part of his mission parameters. Frequently holding captured enemies at knife-point, his dialog with them is creative and highly intimidating, though often morbidly humorous to the audience. For example, in the "Penthouse" level in Chaos Theory, Fisher captures a guard and says: "Pick a number between 1 and 10". Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is a critically acclaimed third-person Stealth-based video game developed and published by Ubisoft. When the guard guesses, Fisher says: "Huh. Lucky guess. You get to live. Now tell me something useful or we'll play another round". He also references Robert DeNiro's role as Tuttle in the movie Brazil.

However it must be said that Sam is not a sadistic individual as he states in the Chaos Theory trailer "I take no joy in killing, but make no mistake - I do what needs to be done to preserve the greater peace. I take the lives of a few to protect the freedoms of many. I am a Splinter Cell. "

It is stated in the manual to Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory that Fisher's dark sense of humor during missions is his way of dealing with the tension that he feels during a stealth operation. The manual explains that while Fisher is a very competent and experienced soldier and operative, he is also keenly aware of his own limitations and mortality, and thus he uses humor to help keep himself calm in the dangerous situations he is often ordered into.

Throughout the games, Fisher attempts to uphold what he believes is "right". A notable instance occurs during Chaos Theory where Lambert instructs Fisher to leave the unconscious bodies of downed pilots at the scene of the crash, which Fisher is about to demolish via airstrike. While the game allows the player to demolish the site, he or she can first pick up the pilots and carry them to safety. Lambert tells Fisher to stop because it may compromise the mission, but Fisher continues anyway. Lambert then reminds him that his valiant actions can not be officially recognized and that he will not receive a medal, to which Fisher replies, "Medals don't help me sleep at night, Lambert. "

Another instance is when Fisher is ordered to not tamper with the corpse of tortured computer engineer Bruce Morgenholt whose body cannot be extracted. The player may choose to cut down the ropes binding the corpse, causing Lambert to admonish Fisher who replies by saying, "Just because he's dead doesn't mean I have to leave him there hanging like a piece of meat. . . . You can spare thirty seconds for some simple dignity. " If the player proceeds to shoot the corpse, Fisher explains that he is "making sure he [the engineer] is not suffering. "

Occasionally, Fisher demonstrates complete contempt for the mission objectives to the point where the player may decide to not comply with all the parameters. In one instance, Fisher is suddenly told to kill Dahlia Tal, a Shin Bet double agent with whom he had been working. The (שב"כ an acronym for Sherut Bitahon Klali (שירות ביטחון כללי lit If the player kills her Fisher angrily asks, "Tell me what I just did, Lambert", and "Killing unarmed women seems mighty close to terrorism. " If the player does not, Lambert shouts at Fisher to which Fisher responds, "I'm going to need a little more warning to shoot unarmed women," and "When I return to the States, I'll go sit in a corner with a cone cap on. " In either case, Fisher openly declares his moral disagreement with the order to shoot Tal.

Another time he shows contempt for the missions, is in the bath house level of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, when the player has the choice to shoot Shetland or not. The player can shoot Shetland, but if he holsters his weapon, then Shetland will attack, and Sam will be forced to kill him anyway. He holds loyalty in very high regards and maintained multiple times in the story that he felt Shetland was playing straight. "If Shetland's crooked I'll take him down myself", he mentions as the plot thickens. At the climax of Shetland's rogue-rant in the Japanese bathhouse he taunts Sam with lines like: "You've made yourself the instrument of a policy you don't believe in, Sam. Walk away", "Blood is thicker than water and you and I have bled a lot together. You're trading your honor for their agenda", and "You wouldn't shoot an old friend". Doug's betrayal toward Sam by trying to shoot him despite holstering his weapon makes Sam sarcastically remark that he "wouldn't shoot an old friend", since Sam was forced to stab him instead.

One criticism of the Splinter Cell franchise has always been that Fisher is underdeveloped as a character. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is a series of Video games endorsed by American author Tom Clancy. In response to this criticism, the makers of the franchise, Ubisoft, are in the midst of an overhaul of the franchise. The final phase of this overhaul begins in the summer of 2008 when Splinter Cell: Conviction is released. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction is the fifth installment in the Splinter Cell series of Video games Conviction will be developed The intention of the new game is to open up Sam Fisher as a character and reveal much more of his personality. It is now in the series that Sam is officially no longer a soldier of sorts. He is now a man driven by the roots of his moral fiber. His return to the U. S. in Splinter Cell: Conviction is prompted solely by his desire to help Anna Grimmsdottir.

Tactics and equipment

Skills

Sam Fisher is extremely athletic. He is capable of many different climbing and scaling abilities, such as step-jumping to climb raised walls, performing a split leg maneuver to keep himself supported for a long period of time, as well as being able to hold on tightly to ceiling pipes or even the undercarriage of a moving train. He is also strong enough to lift the body of a full grown man onto his back and carry it around, and can run somewhat faster than the average soldier. He utilizes some aspects of the French gymnastic art of parkour while surmounting obstacles, albeit in a slightly slower and stealthier way. Parkour (sometimes abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement (the art of movement is an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently Nonetheless, Fisher's age is apparently catching up to him, as in Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow he can regularly be heard making various grunts and groans of exertion during a mission. However, this is not present in Chaos Theory. Though throughout the series he can be heard making such noises when hefting dead/unconscious bodies, hoisting himself up, and whatnot, it seems to be more prevalent during his forties into his fifties.

As the nature of Fisher's job relies on stealth and non-detection, he is highly adept at blending into shadows and moving silently. He is able to sneak up on most opponents undetected and quickly subdue them using either lethal or non-lethal means.

The novel establishes that he "exclusively uses Krav Maga" for unarmed combat. Krav Maga (קרב מגע lit contact combat is a military Hand-to-hand combat system developed in Israel, which assumes No quarter will be Hand-to-hand combat (sometimes abbreviated as HTH or H2H is a generic term for Close quarters fighting, particularly when the outcome is potentially fatal as in Melee Krav Maga is a combat form that was developed by the Israeli Special Forces. He has reached the advanced level of 3B under the tutelage of his instructor, Katia Loernstern. It is also possible that Sam has also been highly trained in the SEALS CQB and the US Marine Martial Arts program, the novel Splinter Cell: Checkmate states that Lambert and Fisher first met during a training program where the best of the best from the SEALS, Rangers, Delta and Force Recon all trained together to create the best special forces operators in the intelligence community. In the first two games, Fisher's hand to hand capabilities seemed limited in direct combat with opponents, although he becomes much more effective in hand-to-hand combat and even gains the ability to use a knife to deadly effect in Chaos Theory. The newest official trailer of Conviction shows Sam fighting as he has never before. While this has caused concern that it is changing the very format of the series it would accommodate Sam's touted martial art skills. The new moves displayed are more akin to a "fighter" genre of videogaming. However, developers have stated that they will add more depth. The first moves shown were more based in wrestling.

Fisher possesses a command of a startling number of foreign languages and scripts including Russian, Korean, Arabic, Chinese, Persian and Spanish. This is stated and demonstrated explicitly in the books and is evidenced in the games by Fisher's ability to interrogate guards and understand conversations between guards, regardless of the country he is operating in. While certainly possible, it is highly improbable that all guards encountered in all Splinter Cell games speak passable English, especially amongst each other. It is meant for the players to know that the native language is being spoken but is 'dubbed' for the consumers to understand - almost like having an automatic interpreter. However, in Pandora Tomorrow there are two instances where Sam asks a guard how good their English is, but this may be a joke showing us his more cynical side.

Fisher is also ambidextrous, as he can switch which hand he fires his rifle and pistol with in Chaos Theory in order to keep better cover without any apparent loss of accuracy. Handedness is an attribute of human beings defined by their unequal distribution of Fine motor skill between the left and right Hands. However, he draws his weapons right-handed, and in the first two games he could only use his right hand to shoot with. It is unknown whether he acquired or perfected this talent in the time between Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory or he always had this ability without it being included in the first two games' controls, but the former seems unlikely. He also holds his knife right-handed, and in Splinter Cell and Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow Fisher knocks out guards by striking their head with his right hand or elbow.

It has been said in GameInformer in a Splinter Cell: Conviction article, that Sam is "so adept at being a spy that his senses have been honed to an almost superhuman level". In Conviction, Sam's hero instinct will demonstrate this. It is a possibility that Sam always had this instinct in the previous games but in the form of a certain sound. It is shown in Double Agent that Fisher can fly a helicopter. History Since 400 AD Chinese children have played with bamboo flying toys.

Weapons

Through the games, Fisher primarily uses two firearms, the SC Pistol and SC-20K Assault Rifle. In Chaos Theory, Fisher added a knife to his arsenal of weapons.

Standard Military CQC Weapon
The player first got the chance to wield Fisher's knife in Chaos Theory. A knife is a handheld sharp-edged instrument consisting of handle attached to a Blade used for cutting In the first novel, it is described as a USMC Ka-bar with a hilt covered in compressed leather of standard design. The KA-BAR is a 12-inch fighting and utility Bowie knife used by the United States Marine Corps and United States Navy in World War II. In the third novel, Sam uses a Fairbairn-Sykes dagger, given to him by Frank Bunch, a close friend of Sam's father. The Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife is a double-edged stiletto with a foil grip developed by William Ewart Fairbairn and Eric Anthony Sykes in However, in Chaos Theory, some close-ups of the hilt suggest that it is custom made. The knife appears to be double-edged, with a blade roughly 5 inches long, and lacks any sort of guard. It has a central groove called a "fuller" in order to reduce weight, often mistakenly called a "blood groove". With the exception of its large size, the knife is very similar to the Gerber Guardian Back Up or an SOG Pentagon. In Splinter Cell: Double Agent, the knife looks very different resembling the military issue Benchmade 140SBK Nimravus (NSN 1095-01-466-8569) and is described as, quote:

"SC 'Protector' double-edged combat knife. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent is the fourth installment in the Splinter Cell series of Video games developed and published by Ubisoft Overall length 7 1/2 inches with a 3 and 3/8 inch, black oxidized high carbon stainless steel blade to prevent reflections and a black polymer rubber handle. "

This description is contradicted by the knife's visual appearance in-game and in cutscenes. It appears much larger, with a silver, partially serrated blade that is roughly 5 inches long. It also appears to be single-edged, and may even be a folding knife as it has a thumb-stud near the spine and a visible liner-lock, though it is still carried opened in a sheath.
Fisher carries his knife horizontally at the back of his belt, allowing him to draw it easily and quickly in either forward or reverse grips. When attacking with it, he always aims for the heart, throat, or axillary artery, and thus a single strike with the weapon always results in the immediate takedown of the target. In Human anatomy, the axillary artery is a large Blood vessel that conveys oxygenated Blood to the lateral aspect of the Thorax, the Axilla In addition to being a deadly weapon, Fisher also makes use of it as a multipurpose tool in the field. A weapon is a Tool used either in Hunting, or attack or defence in Combat for the purpose of subduing enemy personnel or to destroy enemy weapons He can use the knife to interrogate suspects, cut tent-fabric, chainlink fences, wires, and plastic sheeting, break locks, disable small machinery (such as gas powered generators), defuse bombs, pry hidden microphones from walls, and strip wires to tap into phone lines and camera feeds.
A Modified FN Five-seveN
The pistol in the game is a 20-round, semi-automatic Fabrique National Five-seveN handgun with an attached suppressor that uses NATO 5.

Torso is an anatomical term for the central part of the many animal bodies (including that of the human from which extend the neck and limbs This is likely due to the subsonic ammunition being used. These slower-moving rounds are used to quiet the report by eliminating the supersonic crack of a bullet traveling faster than the speed of sound. The suppressor reduces the report of the pistol further by slowly allowing gases from the barrel to expand and escape, resulting in a soft "pfft" noise.
The pistol is much quieter than the SC-20K. In Pandora Tomorrow, the pistol is equipped with a laser aiming module. There are many scientific military medical and commercial laser applications which have been developed since the invention of the laser in the 1958 In the series' third installment, Chaos Theory, the pistol is equipped with an Optically Channeled Potentiator (OCP) prototype, a device that can be used to temporarily disrupt electronic devices, such as light fixtures, gun turrets and security cameras. Oddly enough, as with the SC-20K, the spent shells were no longer visible in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory or Splinter Cell: Double Agent.

The F2000 is an individual 556 mm weapon system developed at the turn of the 21st century by the Belgian armament manufacturer Fabrique Nationale In the first novel, Sam Fisher said that the SC-20K was his favorite weapon.
The SC-20K was modified for use in Chaos Theory. The fixed buttstock was replaced by a collapsible buttstock. Also, the 1. 5x reflex sight replaced the stronger 6x full scope, but in compensation the SC-20K gained the ability to mount additional undermount modular configurations. It has been designed with a bullpup configuration, allowing for maximum power with a minimum weight and size. Bullpup is a Firearm configuration in which the action and magazine are located behind the trigger In the field, Fisher can carry a maximum of two undermount modules at once. The SC-20K was again modified for use in Double Agent. The F2000 design was retained, but the buttstock was greatly stripped down, along with the fore-end of the weapon. The scope was replaced with a Picatinny rail that later had a reflex sight attached to it. The modules were removed from the next-gen version of Double Agent, except for the launcher, and a shotgun shell (despite the fact that Sam does not put a shotgun module underneath). The current gen version features all but the foregrip. The following is a list of details about the modules:
Launcher: A Splinter Cell's standard loadout (as seen in Splinter Cell and Pandora Tomorrow), the attached 40mm grenade launcher, is able to fire ring airfoil rounds, sticky shockers, sticky cameras, gas grenades, EMP ammunition and other such less-than-lethal devices. Ring airfoil projectile (RAP is designed as an Incapacitant. The original design has kinetic and chemical variants Less-lethal weapons, less-than-lethal weapons, non-lethal weapons, non-deadly weapons, or more recently compliance weapons are weapons intended The ring airfoil round is a small ring that can knock out enemies silently. The drawback is its parabolic trajectory. The sticky shocker is an LTL device that shocks enemies into unconsciousness. They are launched at a flat trajectory and causes some noise. Sticky cameras are reusable devices that allow you to observe areas without being detected, or, in case of a head shot, can incapacitate an enemy. They can also make noises that can attract the enemy or can self-destruct which will release a non-lethal gas. The latest incarnation of the sticky camera can also create a small, lethal explosion. If enemies detect the sticky camera then they will open fire on it which will either release the gas or explode, depending on the version of the camera. The launcher can also launch grenades, including gas grenades that release a non-lethal gas that will knock out anybody in the vicinity of the gas.
Foregrip: A foregrip used to steady firing and counter the effects of recoil, resulting in far more accurate fire when shooting in fully automatic mode.
Shotgun: An undermount 12-gauge triple ought buckshot shotgun attachment. The Gauge or bore of a Shotgun or Rifle is a unit of measurement used to express the Diameter of the barrel. Useful for close quarters combat. Close Quarters Battle ( CQB) or close quarters combat ( CQC) is a type of fighting in which small units engage the enemy with personal weapons at very Extremely lethal against enemy personnel, but also very loud. It was first introduced in Chaos Theory.

Sniper: Another undermount for the SC-20K is a sniper attachment that fires 20 mm kinetic energy propeled, high-heat sabot rounds (also known as APDS; Armour-piercing discarding sabot) that can penatrate most forms of armor and even can destory small armoured machines such as (UAV's).

This weapon configuration can only be fired when the scope is used however.

Other weaponry and equipment

In addition to the SC-20K and SC-Pistol, Sam uses several other weapons and gadgets such as the M67 Fragmentation Grenades, Smoke Grenades with a much more rapid release than a standard M18, EMP Grenades that release a pulse of electromagnetic energy affecting surrounding electronics in the same way as the OCP, flashbangs, a Laser Mic (which was separate from the goggles in the first and second games, and the next generation version of the fourth), a Fingerprint Scanner, and a Retinal Scanner. The M67 grenade is a fragmentation Hand grenade used by the US armed forces and Canadian forces - where it is referred to as the C13 A laser microphone is a Surveillance device that uses a Laser beam to detect Sound Vibrations in a distant object In the prison level on Splinter Cell: Double Agent Sam also gets to carry a standard 9x19mm handgun (depending on whether he killed a certain target or not, as a mission objective) (only on Xbox, Wii, PS2, and GameCube). The 9x19mm Parabellum is a pistol cartridge introduced in 1902 by the German weapons manufacturer Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM for their The Xbox is a sixth-generation Video game console produced by Microsoft Corporation.

Clothing

Remaining unseen is a very important factor for Fisher on his missions, thus wearing the right clothing is necessary. Mostly he wears a specialized wet suit, designed for stealth. The fabric is interwoven with kevlar, allowing it to stop bullets from long range. The cloth and equipment are black, but at times other versions of the suit will even appear to be a blue green color in very bright light. This suit fits tightly around his body, making it almost impossible to hear it move. Though mostly wearing his signature black suit, Fisher sometimes changes his suit to fit the appropriate conditions, such as jungle camouflage or shorts with a short-sleeved shirt in hot environments. Some versions also come with some covers that peel off, like in Double Agent, where he pulls off the white cover to reveal the black suit underneath. Sam also has a pair of black combat boots and a weapons belt, and sometimes a compact re-breather for underwater. He sometimes has a radio on his back which emits light (only the player can see this, however, as the light would alert enemies otherwise).

In the 2004 novel, Splinter Cell, Fisher explains a few of the features that his black suit has. These features include:

The only thing that Fisher doesn't like about his suit is how it looks. In the novel, he says, "My only beef with the uniform is that it's so tight fitting and neat that it makes me look like a comic book superhero. Even my special headpiece looks like a mask when I have the goggles down. "

In Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, his clothing has changed dramatically. He no longer wears the specialized wet suit, he now wears a hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, normal clothing to blend in with the civilian population.

Goggles

Fisher's green, three-lensed goggles have become one of the trademarks of the Splinter Cell series. While fans of the series regularly point out that they would give Fisher's position away, it was revealed in "The Real Sam Fisher blog" (Fisher's fictional web journal stating that he's merely the man the games are based on) that the goggles did not actually glow, and were simply portrayed that way on screen to provide visual interest and the location of the character in the dark. This is proven in the first multi-player outing of Pandora Tomorrow where ARGUS mercenaries viewing SHADOWNET devices similar to Fisher's will not notice any illumination. If the player were to look at Sam's reflection in mirrors or reflective surfaces during single player mode in Chaos Theory, he or she would notice that the glowing of all aforementioned gear is nonexistent. Fisher's glowing goggles, radio, and OPSAT merely show the current location of his head, body, and arms respectively in the darkness for the benefit of the player. It has never been explained what the function of the third lens in the center is for; however, it is possible that it is either an infrared emitter (providing light only the goggles can see) or is some sort of sensor for the EEV or the other vision modes.

In the first two games of the series, Fisher's goggles have both thermal and night vision capabilities. In reality, this would have required separate sets of goggles because of the complicated circuitry involved. However, game developers decided to combine them into one device, as switching goggles would have made gameplay very cumbersome. In Pandora Tomorrow, the goggles also have limited zoom capability. Starting with Chaos Theory, the goggles have an integrated laser microphone and a third view mode highlighting electromagnetic radiation emitted from nearby power lines, generators, and electrical equipment. Double Agent rewards players who complete side objectives with upgraded goggles that have "enhanced" night vision which shows the full color spectrum, making it seem less obvious that the player is using the night vision (with the exception of some blurring when moving).

The goggles were used as a parody item in Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum and Rayman Raving Rabbids, where a parody character called Sam Shieffer and some of the antagonist rabbids, respectively, bear the same style of headwear. Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 Mission Las Vegum is an Action-adventure game for PC and the PlayStation 2, sequel of Asterix & Obelix XXL Rayman Raving Rabbids is a spinoff in the Rayman series released by Ubisoft as a Wii launch title Rabbids are a fictional species of maniacal Anthropomorphic rabbits, that serve as the primary antagonists The goggles are also an accessory used in Madness Interactive. The heat vision can be used to see if there is a person behind a thin wall. Finally, the first downloadable content pack for Crackdown includes an agent with the aforementioned goggles. Crackdown (titled Riot Act in Japan is an open world, Third-person shooter Video game for the Xbox 360 In "Worms 4 Mayhem" players have the option of fitting their custom worm squad with nightvision goggles that are actually Sam's trident goggles. Also, in BIONICLE, Piraka Reidak's eyes not only look like his goggles, but are also used in the same way. Bionicle is a line of Toys created by the Lego Group that is marketed towards those in the 7-16 year old range Recently, the popular online community Gaia Online created their own goggles called Stealth Evo Nightvision characters can use in their gear, along with certain outfit purchases can make one look similar to Sam Fisher though in a more cartoony Avatar form. Gaia Online is an English-language, Anime -themed social networking and forums -based Website.
