Sam Flynn is the 27 year-old[1] son of famous video game creator, former ENCOM CEO and digital pioneer Kevin Flynn. He was born in 1983.[2] His mother passed away unexpectedly in September 1985, leaving Sam and Kevin. In July 1989, Sam's father was on the verge of a major discovery when he disappeared with no trace, leaving Sam's grandparents to take care of him. Sam was seven when his father disappeared. Legally, Sam is the largest shareholder of ENCOM (a fortune which he inherited from his father when he disappeared). Sam is reclusive and lives modestly with his pet dog, Marv in a shipping container reconstituted into a home on the river with a beautiful view of the city and the ENCOM Tower itself.
He performs extreme stunts such as base jumping, motocross and parachuting. On April 2, 2010, Sam Flynn crashed the ENCOM Press Conference by jumping out of a ENCOM Helicopter and releasing a parachute with the numbers "89" printed on it. He flew over the crowd and landed right behind the ENCOM stage and took off in an SUV waiting near by.
Every year to mark the anniversary of his father's disappearance, he performs a daredevil stunt. According to Kevin and Sam's friend , Alan Bradley, Sam does this as a reaction to the pressure of following in his father's footsteps as well as getting people to pay attention and look deeper into the disappearance of his father.
In 2010, Alan Bradley told Sam that he got a message from the telephone number from Flynn's arcade; the number was previously disconnected over 20 years ago. Reluctantly, Sam heads over to his father's abandoned arcade to find a hidden office, complete with a digitizer. Sam is digitized and sent to cyberspace to find his father with the help of Quorra.
Personality and traits
Ever since Kevin disappeared, Sam has been deeply affected by both the loss of his mother and father. He is also the heir to the largest software company in the world, which makes him feel that he can't follow in his father's footsteps. He's somewhat rebellious, and he lives in a garage with a dog. He is good with tools, and has recently fixed Kevin's motorcycle.
