'''George Stobbart''' (born 1968 in [[Idaho]], [[USA]]) is the main character in the ''[[Broken Sword]]'' [[adventure game]] series by [[Revolution Software]]. The voice of George is provided by American actor [[Rolf Saxon]] in all four games. Stobbart currently lives in [[New York City]], [[USA]] and works as a [[bail bondsman]]. He is a [[patent lawyer]] by profession, enjoys traveling and is fascinated by [[history]]. |
|||
==Private life== |
|||
Little is known about George's private life. Tasks such as saving the world and quirk remarks are seen as more important than various relations - mainly Nico Collard. He is a law graduate, which he studied at either the [[University of California]] or the [[University of Idaho]]. He has worked in [[California]], at his father's [[law firm]], and [[New York City]], as a bail bondsman. He is an only child, and his father died between the first two games. |

===''The Shadow of the Templars''=== |

{{main|Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars}} |
|||
When George first appeared in ''The Shadow of the Templars'', he was an average, friendly, and somewhat nosey man, who was currently taking a vacation in [[Paris]]. When a bomb explodes in the cafe that George is at, it's up to him to uncover the mysteries surrounding the bombings, learn the truth behind [[The Knights Templar]], and travel around the globe. |
|||
It is at this time that George falls in love with [[Nico Collard]], the French photojournalist, who lives in a small apartment, which serves as a hub for George and Nico in ''The Shadow of the Templars''. In travelling around the world George meets a number of unique and interesting characters, some friendly, others odd and some deadly. |
|||
===''The Smoking Mirror''=== |
|||
{{main|Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror}} |
|||
At the beginning of ''Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror'', George Stobbart has recently returned from the tending to his dying father, back to Paris where he and Nico are thrown into yet another adventure. The game opens as George and Nico are attacked by Pablo, a large Mayan man. George is tied to a chair, and Nico is captured, and it's up to George once again to save the world from an inevitable doom. |
|||
===''The Sleeping Dragon''=== |
|||
{{main|Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon}} |
|||
The Sleeping Dragon begins years after George and Nico have broken up, and George has moved on with his job as a patent lawyer. The game opens when George's private plane crashes in the middle of the [[Congo Basin|Congo]], and George is forced to climb a cliff to reach his destination. When he does however, the man he intended to interview is dead, and George is once again thrown into another adventure, and re-unite with his old rivals, the [[Neo-Templars]]. |
|||
===''The Angel of Death''=== |
|||
{{main|Broken Sword: The Angel of Death}} |
|||
At the start of the ''The Angel of Death'', George is working as a bail bonds clerk and Nico is no longer a part of George's life. When George meets with Anna-Maria, a woman who hires George to help her to find a mysterious artifact, George is thrown into another adventure, and cannot help but fall in love with this strange woman. |
|||
==Relationships== |
|||
George's on/off lover is the [[France|French]] [[freelance]] [[photojournalist]] [[Nico Collard]], who was introduced in the first game. His new love from the fourth ''Broken Sword'' game was Anna-Maria, who George met when she needed some help with a manuscript. |
|||
George's social nemesis is André Lobineau, a French scholar whom Nico has known since college and who, at least in the first two games, considers himself a competitor for Nico's affections. André runs an online history database, which George is blocked from viewing. |
|||
George has made several acquaintances in different countries. This includes Pearl and Duane Henderson, who regularly travel (Duane a supposedly undercover Agent for unknown [[government]] agency) and the heavy-drinking [[Gendarmerie|gendarme]] who George meets twice at the [[café]] at Montfaucon. |
|||
George's enemies include the Neo-Templars, a secret organization following in the footsteps of the [[Knights Templar]], [[Tezcatlipoca]] and recently certain sections of the [[Roman Catholic church]]. |
