SAMIRA ABDULLAH: THE DEPUTY
Raised in Seattle, Washington and the daughter of Lebanese immigrants, it was always expected of Samira to follow in her parents' footsteps and become a doctor. Wanting to live up to her family's expectations, she pursued an education in pre-med until she discovered her true passion in criminal psychology. After a dramatic change in her life course and much pushback from her parents, she gets a degree in criminal psychology with the goal of eventually becoming an agent in the FBI.
Desperate to escape the weight of her parents' scrutiny and intrigued by the rumors of a large cult in the area, Samira applies for a position in the sheriff's department in Hope County. It's a small enough area that she believes she can fast track her way to the role of detective and eventually move onto a bigger, more prolific department elsewhere. She moves to Montana and completes the three month Sheriff's Academy. Upon graduating, she's given the position of rookie deputy within the Whitetail Mountains division of the Hope County Sheriff's department. This division within the Sheriff's department tends to take on more of the 'high profile' cases within Hope County, and has been integral in gathering evidence against the cult for some time without much luck in finding anything tangible that could lead to a warrant.
Eight months into her year long training as a rookie, the department recovers video evidence of the cult kidnapping tourists and is able to secure the warrant for Joseph Seed's arrest. As the hotshot rookie within the department, Samira's given the opportunity to assist Whitehorse and the Marshall with the arrest. Things quickly turn south as the team tries to leave the compound and Joseph Seed is freed due to the sacrifice of his followers and subsequent helicopter crash. Injured and in enemy territory, Samira is forced to fight her way to safety as the Reaping begins.
QUICK FACTS:
The events of the game take place over a three year period, given the size of Hope County (which is a lot bigger than what's shown on the game map) and the inability of each resistance faction to work together or really accomplish anything without the deputy's help.
Though Samira begins in Holland Valley, she establishes contact with all three resistance factions first and spends her time traveling between each area. Her progression through liberating the areas is not entirely linear, and essentially she is taken by each Herald at various times throughout her efforts to liberate the county.
She executes John Seed first, then Faith, and Jacob last.
Of all the Seeds, Samira is most intrigued by Jacob and the inner workings of his mind. He has a deep understanding of the human psyche, more so than his brothers and Faith, that she finds fascinating, if not alarmingly similar to her in a way.
