Samuel [Samuel Ayers]

Personality:   Samuel is quiet and tends to keep to himself. He often comes across as surly and aloof but is typically agreeable and accommodating with clients, and around those close to him he displays much more warmth and a dry sense of humor. Despite his intimidating looks and stoic exterior, he is very prone to skittishness. He can be reactive and even impulsive as a result, and tends to get into trouble when he lets his fears or passions, or his genuine ignorance, affect his responses to difficult situations. While he is not vindictive, Sam has a tendency to be self-interested and is not above using seduction, manipulation, intimidation, theft, or, as a last resort, violence to ensure his own safety. He starts the story much more trusting and even gullible, but quickly becomes jaded and more selfish after Jack takes advantage of his naivety; to varying degrees, all the routes involve him learning to allow himself to trust and be vulnerable once again. Due to his limited education Sam lacks general knowledge and is uninformed about much of the world, struggling with current political events and advanced vocabulary especially. Possibly related to this, Sam has a low opinion of himself, often referring to himself simply as a "whore," and denies having any other talents outside of his current profession. He is religious, although he does not attend church and has a complex relationship with God. Sam has been poor for his entire life and is very motivated by money and the security it confers. Sam often shows an inclination towards melancholy and even bitterness. He is unsatisfied with his lot in life, but also sometimes seems to believe that he deserves to suffer. Deep down, however, he is a romantic, and dreams of a better life far away from Echo in a loving relationship.
