Sam’s Character In The Last Of Us
The Last Of Us introduced Sam and his older brother, Henry, in the final moments of episode 4 before revealing their story in episode 5.
After Henry incensed the head of the local resistance in Kansas City, the two were on the run and had been camped out in an abandoned building until their food supplies ran out.
They met Joel and Ellie immediately after they were assaulted by a bunch of rebels, just as they were getting ready to leave in search of more supplies.
In order to leave Kansas City, Henry suggested that they form an alliance. The four of them were able to leave together, but not before coming into contact with Kathleen and a swarm of Infected.
In the transfer from video game to television series, Sam’s character underwent a number of alterations, the two most noticeable of which were his age (he was made younger in the series) and his hearing (which the show’s co-creators detailed in the official podcast for The Last Of Us).
