Sam Carter is a fictional character in the computer game Deus Ex. He is a UNATCO employee.

Overview

General Sam Carter is the quartermaster and arms supplier for UNATCO. He is a small legend among the military for his actions in the Merced Operation (which is otherwise unexplained in the game), and JC recognizes him immediately upon meeting him. (Though never explicitly mentioned in the game, Carter was retired from army service after losing one of his legs. He currently uses a mechanical prosthesis) His family was murdered by the NSF, but his response to JC's attempts at sympathy are curt. Although surely a strong fighter and skilled soldier (he claims to have taken out an entire platoon with a pocket knife, and he doesn't joke around...), Carter has an intimate understanding of tactics and deliberacy. He applauds JC when stealth and skill are used in favor of brute force. Carter also has a respect and admiration for military order and discipline; the ability for an organization to harness the power of obedience and teamwork.

Sam Carter has a belief that a benign military can exist to truly serve peace and the people. When UNATCO's secrets are revealed, Sam is loathe to give up his loyalty, because of the belief that UNATCO can still do good if most of its employees are there to serve good. As the game progresses, however, Sam realizes that he cannot remain in UNATCO, and escapes the organization, pondering the true meaning of good in a military.

Carter and Doctor Gary Savage of X-51 apparently go back a while. It is him who he contacts when he needs to get out of UNATCO. Sam is staying with him in X-51 Vandenberg headquarters when the player last sees him.
