Hi there, gentleman from the south
Oh, trust me; Sam Fisher is a southern gentleman in the truest old-fashioned sense of the word.
There's another guy over in gator's lair, a pre-Ron-invasion Ronbot, who's no southern gentleman, Sam Hall or Sam Hill or whatever, and when the southern gentleman signed on, he was constantly having to face the wrath of members who thought he was the other guy.
It was hilarious, and the southern gentleman took it in good spirit.
