Throughout the run of the Splinter Cell series, theres always one thing every single game has done: it places Sam Fishers journey forward by placing him in hostile, sometimes foreign, and difficult situations. He goes from a top black-ops agent to becoming a double-agent, to being forced to be on the run from the very organization he once worked for, to finally, leading his very own squad.
