A Thief's End's narrative follows Nathan Drake (Nolan North) set several years after the events of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, a former treasure hunter coaxed out of retirement by his presumed-dead brother Samuel (Troy Baker). With Nathan's longtime partner, Victor Sullivan (Richard McGonagle), they search for clues for the location of Henry Avery's long-lost treasure. Their journey to recover Avery's treasure brings them into conflict with wealthy and dangerous businessman and treasure hunter Rafe Adler (Warren Kole), his partner Nadine Ross (Laura Bailey). The Lost Legacy's story follows Chloe Frazer (Claudia Black), who seeks the Tusk of Ganesh in the Western Ghats mountain ranges of India, with the help of ex-mercenary Nadine Ross, and prevent a ruthless warlord, Asav (Usman Ally), and his army of insurgents from igniting a civil war in the country.
