Editing Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (section)

===Characters===
The characters of the games, as well as the organization "Third Echelon", were created by [[J. T. Petty]]. The main recurring ones are:
*[[Sam Fisher (Splinter Cell)|Sam Fisher]] is the main protagonist of the series.
*Irving Lambert, leader of "Third Echelon", serves as the player's guide by leading Fisher through the games' missions, until he is killed by Sam in ''Double Agent''.
*Anna "Grim" Grimsdóttír is portrayed as an official Third Echelon hacker and analyst, who helps Fisher when technical obstacles need to be overcome. In ''Conviction'' she takes over the role of guide from the deceased Lambert; her character also becomes the source of dramatic tension in the story.  In ''Blacklist'', she is the technical operations officer and butts heads with Sam over morality, ethics, and Fourth Echelon's operating parameters.
*Sarah Fisher, Sam's daughter and sole family member. She was presumed to be killed in ''Double Agent'', but ''Conviction'' revealed her murder to be a deception.
