Chloe Frazer is a fictional character in the Uncharted series introduced in the 2009 video game Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Frazer was designed to provide a darker counterpart to series' protagonist Nathan Drake and to highlight these facets of his personality. She is voiced by Claudia Black, who did the motion capture work for the character as well. Chloe is a strong character who aggressively looks out for her own interests.
In the game, she acts as part of team of thieves who are hired by a benefactor to help find the location of Marco Polo's lost fleet, and through that the location of the lost city of Shambhala and the Cintamani stone. When Drake is betrayed and imprisoned, she helps bribe his way out and infiltrates the organization of the war criminal Lazarevic, helping Drake stop his plot for immortality.
Reception to Frazer has been focused on her independence and sensuality. Other reviewers have called her a unique and fun character. Black compared the character to movie adventurer Indiana Jones. Character designer Justin Richmond stated that Frazer was one of his favorite characters to create.
Frazer was designed to play off of the personality of Nathan Drake, the main protagonist of the Uncharted series. Through interaction, she brings out particular facets of Drake's personality.Amy Hennig, series writer, wanted Frazer to act as a foil to Drake, essentially acting as a darker version of the main character. She also contrasts to Elena Fisher, who acts as the "good girl" of Uncharted.
Claudia Black voiced Frazer. For the series, motion capture actors acted as if performing in a movie. Motion capture was done on a soundstage, and the dialog recorded during this process was used in the game. The chemistry and interactions between Black and Nolan North, voice actor for Drake, had a hand in determining Frazer's personality. Black compared the process to a combination of stage, movie, and voice acting.
