Background Edit

Sarah Fisher was born as the only child of Sam Fisher and Regan Burns on May 31, 1985, on an U.S. Air Force Base in Frankfurt, Germany, where her father was deployed as a "diplomatic aide."^[3] Her parents divorced several years later and Sarah's mother, Regan, had changed her surname back to Burns. Sometime between 1999 and 2000, her mother died from ovarian cancer when she was about fifteen^[4]. Soon after, she continued to use her mother's surname for security reasons. Throughout her childhood, Sarah encountered many tough times with her father, especially when he went on his missions. She was not always aware what kind of work her father did, but she knew it was government-related. She would be alone and would have fears about losing him since his missions were dangerous, but she was always comforted by members of Third Echelon.

Sarah eventually became aware of her father's work which helped her understand that it wasn't Sam's fault why he was always away. In June 2003, she graduated from Brown High School in Towson, Maryland, and went on to attend Central University in Evanston, Illinois, where she was majoring in International Relations with a minor in Art History. After graduating from college, Sarah returned to Maryland to be closer to her father, and in spite of his objections she started using her real surname.

2004: Georgian Information Crisis Edit

Version 1 Edit

In October of 2004, Sarah Fisher was living at home with her father.

Version 2 Edit

In October of 2004, Sarah was on an expedition with her father somewhere in the Pacific, when Vernon Wilkes, Jr. showed up to retrieve Sam for briefing by Director Irving Lambert. After the mission Sam returned to the boat and his daughter, discussing the recent events.

2005: First Kidnapping Edit

Sarah and her best friend were kidnapped while on vacation in Israel in order to draw out her father. Soon after her best friend was killed, Sam finally discovered where she was being held and saved her.

2007: Second Kidnapping Edit

Sarah Fisher and two of her friends were kidnapped coming home from a club in Washington D.C. and were stashed in a van, then taken aboard a cargo ship. Sam Fisher learning of the kidnapping and on his own initiative boarded the ship to rescue his daughter. Fisher retrieved his daughter and her friend.

2008: "Death" Edit

Official death records (arranged by Third Echelon) stated that Sarah was "killed" when she was hit by a "drunk driver" while her father was away on a mission in Iceland. This event affected Sam emotionally which caused him to go into a deep depression to the point that he starts fighting in the streets and take "the most dangerous mission of his career". Sarah's body was buried in the Elysian Fields Cemetery in Washington, D.C.

2009: Memorial Edit

Sam Fisher returned to Washington D.C. to the Elysian Fields to visit his daughter's gravesite on the anniversary of her death, January 2009. After making his way through the graveyard to her gravestone, he was captured by NSA agents and taken to Fort Meade.

2011: Reunion Edit

In 2011, Sam found out that his daughter was, in fact, alive and made it his mission to reunite with her. In his quest, he discovered more about the story of her supposed death. Sam found out that an arms dealer/drug trafficker named Andriy Kobin was paid to provide a body for Third Echelon, and he does not know who hired him. Kobin was also instructed to lie, saying that he fulfilled a hit contract on her (thus the hit-and-run accident). Soon after he found this out, Sam listened to a posthumous message from his friend and boss, former Director Irving Lambert, which explained that Lambert had learned a mole in Third Echelon whom he believed was going to kidnap Sarah and use her as leverage against Sam. In order to prevent this, he made the tough choice - to separate the two, and tell each that the other was dead. Sarah was then moved to an apartment in Washington, D.C., which was watched over by Grim.

Finally, in an abandoned reservoir, Sam's old friend Victor Coste had managed to find out where Sarah was located and reunite her with her father just in time to get an aerial view from the helicopter of Washington being hit by the EMP. They then moved to land near the White House in order to stop Reed, but were shot down by a missile defense system. They crash landed in a theater, where Sam left Sarah in Victor's custody as he made his way on foot to the White House through downtown Washington. It is presumed she and Victor make it to safety. After the events that took place during the Third Echelon Conspiracy, Sarah and Sam move away together to catch up.

Trivia Edit

• In the second training level of version one of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Sarah appears as a hostage that Sam must rescue. The female instructor noticed that Sam seemed to be stressed when he saw the hostage and asked him if he was alright.
• During the "Andriy Kobin's Mansion Area" level and Tom Reed's interrogation in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, Sarah "appears" to Sam [the player] through background imagery of the past. When Sam was looking for his daughter's killer in Kobin's Mansion and also on the Oval Office wall, images were displayed of Sarah and a car, and showing her grave.
• While version 1 of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent place Sarah's "death" in "2007", in-game cutscenes of Conviction place her death in "2008" which confirms that at least that element of version 2 Double Agent is canon.
• The image of Sarah's gravestone (pictured above) in Conviction shows that she "died" in 2008^[5] (January 3, 2008 in Xbox/PS2/GC/Wii version and Essentials, September 3, 2007 on Xbox 360/PS3/PC) (at the age of 23 in obituary and 22 in both versions of Double Agent and Essentials).
• In the first flashback when Sam checks on Sarah, her door, stuffed toy and pajamas have a tri-star pattern similar to Sam's goggles.
• In Conviction, a police officer can be seen looking at a picture of Sarah on a laptop computer during the "Washington Monument" level.
