Sam Becker was born in the USA when his father, a Navy SEAL, was stationed in Fort Worth, Texas. He became a C.I.A. agent later in his life and went to Rook Island with the mission to kill Joyt Volker. To accomplish his goal, he posed as a high-ranking Privateer for Hoyt Volker through Rook Island CIA agent Willis Huntley. At first Sam looked like a highly aggressive Privateer and used it to maintain his cover. Soon Sam lost contact with his handler, Willis Huntley and was forced to wait until he met Jason Brody, who revealed to be working with Huntley as well. With the help of Jason, Sam sabotaged Hoyt's company while earning his trust to get himself and Jason invited to play poker with him. At the game, he planned to kill Hoyt with a knife he had hidden in his boot, but just as Sam signaled to Jason he was about to strike, Hoyt stabbed Sam in the neck with a knife of his own, killing Sam.
