Did she ever tell you her theories... regarding Sir Francis Drake and his heirs?

Evelyn to Samuel and Nathan Drake

Template:Infobox Character Evelyn was a retired explorer and an old colleague of Cassandra Morgan. While she only appeared for a moment in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, she played an important part in both Sam and Nathan Drake's life.

Biography

Background

In her youth, Evelyn was a celebrated historian, featured on magazines and having a vast collection of artifacts and relics. In her old age, she had a strained relationship with her son Edmund. She often sent alimony to his family to try to rekindle a relationship with him despite his protest. One of the main reasons Edmund was angry with her was that she didn't show up to her husband's funeral.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (2016)

Evelyn bought Cassandra's journals in an auction after Cassandra died. Later, Samuel and Nathan Morgan broke into her house hoping to find their mother's things, sneaking through her mansion. After the two brothers found what they were looking for, Evelyn appeared and held them at gunpoint, and told them that she had already called the police.

Sam covered Nathan to protect him and tried to bargain with the old lady. He offered to stay if Nathan would be allowed to leave. Sam accidentally revealed that they were in fact Cassandra's sons, and this Evelyn to lower her gun. After telling the boys about their mother and giving their mother's journal to Nathan, the police arrived outside.

Evelyn promised to deal with the police, but fell unconscious before she could even leave the room. The boys then escaped the mansion and the police.
