Who wouldn't want to be descended from Sir Francis Drake?

Ruggedly handsome, intelligent, attractive to women, and athletic. No, I'm not describing myself (I wish I was), but instead the one and only Nathan Drake. Seriously, Nathan Drake is the coolest protagonist of any video game. He regularly goes on wild and deadly adventures in pursuit of historic treasures and always barely evades death's grasp while still retrieving the objects he desires. This is mostly due to the fact that he is the luckiest son of a gun that was ever contrived, but also because he is intelligent and extremely athletic. Then, after obtaining the next clue and barely escaping impending doom, his female partners eyes fill with love. Hell, in the second installment of Uncharted (Among Thieves), he has two women fall in love with him. That in and of itself makes Nathan an awesome character. Lastly, Nathan is a hero. Yes, he primarily hunts for treasure for personal gain, and yes, he keeps most of the treasure for himself. But, he undeniably does do the world a favor by discovering the world's lost artifacts. These ancient pieces of history would be lost forever in Nathan Drake's world without his selfish behavior and amazing talent. So, who would I want to be? Drake. Nathan Drake.
