Victor "Sully" Sullivan

Victor "Sully" Sullivan is one of the main characters from the Uncharted franchise.

Sully is an American treasure hunter, fortune seeker, and businessman, as well as a friend, one-time mentor and father figure of fellow treasure hunter Nathan Drake.

Throughout the Uncharted series, Sully appears as a major character and ally to Nathan Drake and his friends, often joining him in his various adventures.

Appearance
Sully is a tall man with slicked back gray hair, gray eyes, and a moustache which is constantly mocked by Nate. He has a deep voice. While it is clear he is aging, he only really starts to show the visual signs of it in Uncharted 3, where the fact he's hitting sixty is very true.

He usually wears cargo pants and Havana shirts, but in Uncharted 3 he switches to button up shirts with the sleeves rolled up. Though fit in his youth, his figure waned as the years went on, becoming more wiry. Despite this, Drake still claims Sully to be "strong as an ox," though this might just have been Nate trying to spur Sully on, or perhaps Nate being in denial.

He used to have dark brown hair. His moustache was given an entirely new revamp to give it a more realistic feel, as explained by the developers.

Personality
For the most part, Sully is a kind man who cares deeply for Nate, the man he raised as his own son. The pair constantly mock one another, albeit lightheartedly. Like Nate, is very quick to make jokes, sometimes even expanding on Nate's, even when the pair are in somewhat dire situations, such as when they had been captured by Flynn and Lazarević's men in Borneo. He always advises Nate to take more prudent action instead of thinking with his pride. He is very protective of those he is fond of, constantly risking his life for his friends.

Despite this he was, in his earlier years, more than willing to betray his acquaintances if the consequences were not servere. Nate argued with Elena over him not being a "back-stabber" but his actions showed otherwise at the start of Uncharted 1. This streak seems to have largely diminished, at least around those he loves.

Sully can be prone to bouts of mean-spiritedness in his earlier scenes of Uncharted 1, as he seems to only have an interest in the treasure of El Dorado. This is due to his own frustration regarding his massive debts, as he is much friendlier in the later sections of the game.

Sully is very sarcastic. After Nate says that he has to have faith he says, "That and a quarter will get you twenty-five cents."

Sully's most prominent character trait is his womanising habits. He often speaks of prior conquests, to humorous effect throughout the games, leading Nate to call him "a dirty old man." Nate also informs Sully at one point that he makes everything sound "dirty" to which Sully seems to be completely oblivious.

Trivia

 * During the events of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Sully reminds Nate that he has "25 years on him". At that time, Nate's age is 35 years old, placing Sully's age at 60 during the events of Drake's Deception.
 * Sully never walks away empty-handed in any of his adventures with Drake, as he manages to keep all kinds of treasure from gold, ancient coins, or even a military helicopter in Golden Abyss. With the exception of Uncharted 4, Drake always escapes his adventures with empty pockets.
 * Sully, along with Elena, is the most prevalent character in Uncharted media, after Nate. He is only not present in Drake's Trail, the Toyota Car Adverts, the 'Long Live Play' PlayStation advert and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. The reason of his prominence is due to him knowing Drake far before the events of Drake's Fortune, where Elena makes her appearance, and the ease with which his character can be used without interrupting the main plotline told in the games.
 * Sully's e-mail address, as seen in Uncharted: Drake's Trail, is vsullivan@sullivanantiquities.com
 * While he may often seem strapped for cash, Sully is a licensed pilot, and avid boater. He owns a Grumann Goose and a private yacht, which survives his and Drake's adventures, unlike his bush plane.
 * On PlayStation Home, a now defunct community-service for PlayStation 3 owners, there was an "Uncharted" area that had Sully's Bar in it.
 * In Uncharted 2, Sully is referred to as Victor "Goddamn" Sullivan by Harry Flynn. Later in the game in Nepal, if you look in Drake's journal and flip through the pages, you'll come across a page which has four mug shots of Sullivan with different facial expressions. Comically, all four of the mugshots are actually the same exact photo, but with marker sketchings over the top of three of the photos to indicate the described emotional state. At the top of the page it will read 'Victor Goddamn Sullivan', with 'Goddamn' written in smaller letters below 'Victor Sullivan', indicating that Nate wrote it in as an afterthought.
 * His weapon of choice in both games is the .44 Smith & Wesson Model 29. He is seen using the weapon again in the gameplay for Uncharted 3. However, he loses his revolver in every game. In UC1, Gabriel Roman tells him to drop it down a water hole. In U2, it is taken from him by Harry Flynn and Lazarević's men. In U3, he obeys Talbot's orders and drops it off of a tower.*Sully has graying temples in Golden Abyss, then more of a salt and pepper look in Uncharted 2, and finally has a full head of gray hair in Uncharted 3and Uncharted 4.* In Uncharted 2 multiplayer, in the Fort, during the middle of the game you may notice a plane fly past. This refers to Sully's Grumman Goose.* Sully, along with Elena and Nate, appeared in Gamers Heart Japan for a few seconds of footage. He wore his Uncharted 3 clothes. This could be referenced to them being the three leads in Uncharted.* Sully, Nate, Lazarević, Eddy, Cutter, Rameses, Salim, and Talbot are the only characters to have Doughnut character skins.* Almost all of Sully's outfits are Havana shirts in different colors (blue, red, brown, dark blue). Only his winter outfit is not a Havana shirt. In Uncharted 3, Sully has a suit and an open Havana shirt with a tank top. Sully's main outfit in Uncharted 3 is a tangerine colored shirt. In Syria, Sully wears the same style shirt but in emerald green. The Fourth Labyrinth identifies these shirts as guayaberas which are linen shirts popular in Latin America and the Caribbean.
 * Sully has been "killed" three times by getting shot during his and Nathan's adventures. The first being in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (saved by Francis Drake's diary which took the bullet), and twice during Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. One is a blank meant to fool Talbot and Marlowe, and the other is when he gets shot by Talbot at Ubar; This is later revealed to have been an hallucination that Nate had.
 * Sully appears as a playable character in just about every chapter in the Co-op Adventure for Uncharted 3, but barely in any of the 'Adventure' equivalents in Uncharted 2.
 * Sully's weapon has always been the Wes-44. In Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception he still uses the weapon, but later switches to a Para 9 he steals from an enemy.
 * The Scare-O-Meter, found in Nate's journal, has 3 levels of fright, the bottom being Sully's moustache.
 * Sully has his own holster in which he usually carries a Wes-44. In multiplayer, Sully is given a custom black holster just like every other character who don't necessarily have a holster.
 * Sully is playable in the side game developed by Sony Bend, Golden Abyss. The player controls his aiming for a small section, much like that of the jetski section with Elena Fisher in Drake's Fortune, developed by Naughty Dog.
 * Sully is one of two people that calls Chase her first name, Marisa.
 * The Fourth Labyrinth reveals that Sully has an ex named Margaret "Maggie" Xin, with whom things "ended messy".
 * Sully apparently felt some attraction for Chloe, as seen in Uncharted 2. However, in Uncharted 3, he shows no attraction towards her.
 * He appears to have a fondness for redheads, as he approves of red-haired Anne Bonny's portrait in Uncharted 4.
 * He is very annoyed by mosquitos, as seen in Golden Abyss.
 * Victor's "goddamn" has become a trademark catchphrase for the character.
 * He is shown in Uncharted 3 to have an extremely good and detailed memory, as he was shown to be able to remember the entire star chart that led to the "Atlantis of the Sands".
 * The Drake family dog in the Epilogue is named Vicky, as Nate promised Sully that if he ever gets a dog he will name it Victor.
 * Victor eventually gave up smoking after A Thief's End. By the time of the Epilogue, he has not smoked for 12 months, and taunted Nathan for losing their bet through a letter.
