Sam Carter from Deus Ex

In Deus Ex the UNATCO quartermaster Sam Carter is a gruff dude with solid ideals who is just trying to do his job right in this crazy mixed up nano augmented world. He would rather you cattle prod the terrrists rather than shoot em dead and aint afraid of saying so.

Some Sam Carter Quotes

  • Being a soldier isn’t just following orders, it’s following those orders in the service of a higher cause. When that cause is betrayed, we’re not soldiers anymore, just pieces on a chess board dying for the wrong reason.
  • Some say concentrated power leads to abuse, but I believe that if an institution has a solid foundation, it can survive the narrow aspirations of the people it employs. [After the Player interacts with him again] We’ll get this place back on track.

Amen Mr Carter.
