稍等,我可有滿腦子的壞主意。
——艾薩克[1]

死亡空間 系列的主角艾薩克·克拉克(Isaac Clarke)是協和礦業開發公司屬下的一名艦船工程師。 在第二次神盾VII事件期間,他是USG Kellion 派往 USG 石村號 調查其通訊失聯原因的緊急維修小隊成員之一。成為了災難唯一的倖存者,艾薩克被困在太空很久,直到被一艘地球政府的飛船發現。

接下來的三年,艾薩克被收容在泰坦空間站的一家精神病院裏,並被診斷出患有某種失智症,導致他被腦海中的幻象折磨。地球政府從他的大腦攫取藍圖製造了信標複製品.


多年後,他仍然是創造與毀滅信標的關鍵。並且暴露在Brethren Moons前時再度經歷了癲狂的影響。

生平[]

童年[]

艾薩克出生於2461年,與父母一起生活在美洲東北部海岸區,父親保羅·克拉克是飛船設計師,母親 奧克塔維亞·克拉克是統一教徒。艾薩克與母親度過了大部分童年時光,父親因為長期外派工作所以艾薩克對他了解甚少。[2] 艾薩克跟父親一樣接受了電子與機械工程的教育,並被一所著名的工程學院錄取。不幸的是他無力支付學費,因為他的母親花費大量積蓄購買了統一教的受賜者位階。

C.E.C.僱員生涯[]

儘管經濟困難,艾薩克仍以優異的成績從一所次級院校畢業,成為了一名飛船工程師。幾年後他報名參加了商船隊,向上級證明了自己在工程領域的能力。艾薩的上級對他的進步印象深刻,將他提拔到了一個靠近主航道的職位。[2] 在某個不確定的時間點,艾薩克曾在石村號上工作過。[3] 他的職業生涯自此多年停滯不前,艾薩克開始與妮可·布倫南同居,隨後妮可被派往石村號

USG石村號的緊急任務[]

2508年,艾薩克自願加入了隸屬於USG凱利昂號的應急響應小隊。小隊被派往USG石村號。最近的報告稱神盾7的軌道進行非法行星裂解任務。小隊的任務是調查石村號發出的求救信號[4] ,並找出所有通信中斷的原因。凱利昂號號抵達後試圖呼叫石村號船員取得聯繫,但收到的只有靜態信息。當凱利昂號試圖在石村號上着陸時,穿梭機因對接程序故障而嚴重受損,被迫迫降在着陸艙內。由於緊急迫降,凱利昂號失去了助推器。

從損壞的凱利昂號上下來後不久,他們注意到整艘船似乎被遺棄了,小隊在候機室遭遇不明生物的襲擊。這些生物後被確認為石村號的遇難船員,他們被一種被稱為屍變體的外星基因重組感染所復活。攻擊過後,只有艾薩克·克拉克,計算機專家凱德拉·丹尼爾斯和安保隊長扎克·哈蒙德生還。

艾薩克與應急小組分開了,他躲進附近的電梯避開了追捕。艾薩克通過RIG與坎德拉和哈蒙德保持聯繫,完成了許多石村號的修復任務。最終一個緊急求救信標被放置在一顆正在進行採礦的小行星上,並被從採礦艙中清除。求救信號引起了一艘名為USM英勇號的軍艦的注意。然而英勇號的船員們在回收了一個石村號的逃生艙後不久就被屠殺了,因為逃生艙里有一隻被哈蒙德困住,並無意中從艦橋上扔出去的斬切者

由於大多數船員死亡或被轉化為屍變體,英勇號失去了控制,隨後猛烈地撞上了石村號。艾薩克等人試圖取回英勇號奇點核心時,哈蒙德被強化獸化者殺死。返回石村號時,科學家Terrence Kyne博士聯繫了艾薩克,他計劃通過穿梭機將信標3A帶回到下面的殖民地

艾薩克用英勇號的奇點核心修復了穿梭機重啟了導航盤後,凱恩被肯德拉槍殺。她透露自己是地球政府的秘密特工,而神盾7上的所有衝突都是由於CEC對信標的干預。隨後她就帶着信標離開了。

艾薩克在石村號上等死時,被妮可或某種看起是妮可的東西救了。她強迫他把信標帶回神盾7,並呼叫了途中的穿梭機。她迫使肯德拉乘逃生艙里放棄穿梭機。在毀滅的星球上,艾薩克終於成功地將信標帶回了基座。這產生了大範圍的電磁脈衝,使軌道上固定神盾7碎片的重力索關閉,導致它墜落到行星上。肯德拉出現並將信標從基座上取下,打算將其裝入穿梭機帶回地球

坎德拉堅稱艾薩克已經瘋了,留下他自生自滅。她強迫艾薩克看妮可的視頻結尾,得知她在船上爆發感染時自殺了。信標在他的幻覺中使用了妮可的聲音和形象。萬念俱灰的艾薩克回到穿梭機發射台,正好看到屍群意識殘忍地殺死了坎德拉,隨後攻擊了他。最終艾薩克打敗了它。

戰鬥過後,行星的地殼構造開始坍塌,艾薩克駕駛執行穿梭機及時逃離了殖民地。在死裏逃生後,他又看了一次妮可的視頻,然後就被妮可的幻覺襲擊了,大概他已經瘋了。

探索[]

After drifting for an unknown amount of time, Isaac's shuttle's distress signal was picked up by the Pleasure Cruise, later to be retrieved by Recovery Patrol X22376 commanded by Captain Maxmillian Reinhardt. Captain Reinhardt was suspicious, while 2nd-in-command Xander Sklar wanted to find an exposure. They plotted their course to pick up the shuttle.

泰坦空間站爆發[]

DeadSpace 2 - Dementia

艾薩克身穿先進防護服.

Three years after the Second Aegis VII incident, Isaac was confined to an asylum on the Sprawl, and was diagnosed with dementia, post-traumatic stress disorder and amnesia. Due to a combination of his coma and memory-erasing medication, Isaac was unable to remember the past three years or how he had ended up on the Sprawl. When a Necromorph infestation suddenly ravaged the Sprawl, Isaac was freed by Franco Delille and was forced to make his way to a woman called Daina, who was Franco's superior. Daina claimed that she could cure Clarke's dementia, which was allegedly killing him by degrees. Left with no choice, Isaac made his way to Daina, surviving encounters with Necromorphs, insane survivors and Earth Government troops ordered to kill him, led by the Titan Station Director Hans Tiedemann.

Along the way, Isaac experienced more disturbing hallucinations from his dementia, most notably apparitions of Nicole. Eventually, Isaac made his way through the Sprawl's Church of Unitology to Daina's location, only to find out that she was a devout Unitologist fanatic sent to capture him. It became clear that, as well as being forced to survive the Necromorph onslaught, Isaac was also caught in the middle of a growing conflict between the Earth Government and the Church of Unitology. Both sought to possess Isaac because the Red Marker from the previous Aegis VII Incident had left the knowledge of how to build Markers in Isaac's mind. The Government was after that technology to study its effects and possibly develop it into a weapon, while Unitologist fanatics wished to build their own Markers in the interests of their faith.

Isaac was saved from capture by a Government gunship, which killed all Unitologists present, and forced Isaac into a maintenance hallway. There, Isaac was attacked by a massive Necromorph and, as he escaped, managed to destroy both his pursuers. Helpless, with no contacts or a feasible escape plan, Isaac was contacted by fellow test subject Nolan Stross. Isaac encountered Stross several times before, during which Stross revealed that he also encountered the Red Marker and was used to build new ones alongside Isaac. Stross informed Isaac there is a way to destroy the new Marker and guided him to its location. Along the way, Isaac encountered another survivor, Ellie Langford, who rejected his offer of help and absconded. Some time later Isaac was contacted by Ellie, who found Stross on her way towards Government Sector. Agreeing to work together and to keeping Stross alive, Isaac made his way to them. Despite several attempts by Director Tiedemann to thwart Isaac's efforts, including forcibly separating a portion of the Sprawl, Isaac, Ellie and Stross were still able to progress.

During this, Isaac discovered the recovered USG Ishimura, almost fully repaired, and was forced on board to use the gravity tethers to prevent the government section from drifting away from the Sprawl. As Isaac traveled the ship's halls, his hallucinations became more aggressive and frequent. Eventually, however, Stross' already weak mental state collapsed and he attacked Ellie, removing one of her eyes. The insane Stross later attacked Isaac, who was forced to kill him. Making his way to Ellie through a mining area, the Nicole apparition attacked Isaac and demanded why he held on to her memory. Isaac revealed that he was obsessed and riddled with guilt and grief because he convinced her to board the Ishimura in the first place, thus resulting in her death; thus, he could not let her go because she was the only thing in the world that still mattered to him. The Nicole apparition was seemingly satisfied with this answer, and revealed that "acceptance" was the final step in Isaac's recovery. Using a mining drill, Isaac and Ellie made their way to the Government Sector, where Ellie found a working gunship.

After a moment of contemplation, Isaac activated the gunship from outside, letting Ellie go alone. Assuring the heartbroken Ellie that she would be safe, Isaac kept going to the Marker's location. As Nicole's illusion guided Isaac to the Marker, he remained uncertain of his subsequent actions. He was also forced to evade Tiedemann's personal troops, but thwarted them by cutting the power to the sector and letting a horde of Necromorphs loose on the security force. Continuing his way to the Marker, Isaac came to a machine which was the subject of Stross' mental state. The machine activated the parts of Isaac's brain where the Marker code, along with his lost memories, were stored. At this period, the Necromorphs had already reached the Marker in numbers sufficient to initiate a convergence event.

Hunted by the deadly Ubermorph, Isaac was able to make his way to the Marker, where an angry and partially burned Tiedemann awaited him. After Isaac disarmed and killed Tiedemann, Nicole's apparition embraced him in front of the Marker and told him that he had to die, as the Marker had to inherit all of its creators to be complete or become annihilated in the Convergence taking the whole station with it. Isaac entered a state of limbo, in which he mentally managed to break free of the Marker's influence. As soon as Isaac regained sanity, he resigned himself to a bleak fate. This, however, was not to pass; Ellie was able to collect him by bursting through the roof of the room where The Marker was kept in the gunship Isaac sent her away in, as she escapes the collapsing Titan Station Isaac engages the thrusters on his suit and boosts to the ship moments before the whole sector collapses. Isaac, haunted by his past, expected all this to be another cruel hallucination; rather, all that sat beside him was a grateful Ellie.

躲藏期間[]

After escaping the Sprawl, Isaac and Ellie ended up on the run from EarthGov. Despite having freed himself from the Marker's mental grip, however, Isaac was still suffering from the effects of the Marker, his mind containing the secrets to creating and destroying them. As such Isaac went into hiding and wanted no further involvement with the Markers. Isaac began a relationship with Ellie, but she wanted to seek out a way to stop the Markers and save mankind. Isaac refused to participate in Ellie's plans, feeling that he had been through more than enough, leading to their break up and estrangement, though Isaac still had feelings for her.

塔弗蘭提斯[]

About three years after the destruction of the Sprawl, Isaac was hiding out in an apartment on the New Horizons Lunar Colony. After hearing a message from Ellie telling him that she was moving on and to take care of himself, Isaac was attacked and restrained by Sergeant John Carver. Captain Robert Norton explained to Isaac that they needed him to help them destroy the threat of the Markers. Isaac was resistant but relented when Norton revealed that Ellie had gone missing and grudgingly agreed to help them find her. While they were talking, Unitologists began attacking the colony's Marker facility. They then came under attack by The Circle, a militant Unitologist sect under the leadership of Jacob Danik. Along the way, Isaac discovered that Danik had been working to destroy Earthgov and has succeeded to the point that Norton and Carver introduced themselves as members of EarthGov's 'Last Battalion'. Isaac was briefly captured by Danik, who explained that he wanted to set the Markers free and forced him to watch the destruction of the colony's Marker test lab, unleashing the influence of the Marker onto the colony and triggering a Necromorph outbreak. After escaping Danik and making his way through the infected city, Isaac escaped aboard the USM Eudora with Norton and Carver.

While en route to Tau Volantis, the USM Eudora collided with mines in the debris field above the planet. Isaac quickly devised a plan to secure Rosen and Locke in an airtight room, then blowing it clear of the exploding Eudora with Isaac, Carver, and Norton close behind in suits. The crew managed to survive the hectic ordeal and board one of the abandoned ships, the CMS Roanoke. Isaac reunited with the crew of the Eudora and Ellie, who was revealed to be in a romantic relationship with Norton. The scientists working with Ellie on Tau Volantis,  Jennifer Santos and Austin Buckell, found a shuttle in good condition aboard the Roanoke, the CMS Crozier.

性格天賦[]

Isaac Clark
You're suffering from a unique form of dementia, Isaac. Something you contracted on Aegis VII.
——Daina[5]

Even before the events of Dead Space, Isaac Clarke had strong resentment for Unitologists, an emotion that originated from the actions of his mother, who had spent the family funds on exploring the Unitology religion. After the events of Dead Space, this feeling would mutate into distrust and, ultimately, hate. Isaac enrolled in the electrical and mechanical engineering course, joined the Merchant Marines and focused on major shipping lines. Isaac then tried to find out where his father was, but he had been missing for quite some time and his personal files were kept classified by the Earth Government. Isaac loved Nicole deeply, as shown by his determination to find her amongst the infested USG Ishimura. Isaac was also heavily distraught after finding out that Nicole had committed suicide via Kendra.

Even three years later, during the events on the Sprawl, Isaac found himself unable to let go of Nicole, and was saddened and weakened by her continuous psychological presence. Fortunately, as Isaac traveled deeper into the Sprawl, he displayed strength against Nicole and was increasingly more willing to let go of her. Even so, Isaac was consumed with guilt over the death of Nicole, as he had encouraged her to take up a post on the USG Ishimura.

作為 C.E.C. 的工程師,艾薩克有極強的應變能力。他尤其擅長破解、修理和拆卸電子設備,並對高科技採礦工具和其他武器有着廣泛的了解,這些都能在危險情況下為他帶來優勢。例如在蔓生城爆發期間,他拆除了醫院裏的一個動態治療裝置,取出其中的動態模塊和自己的靜態模塊配合使用。當他試圖幫助一名倖存者時,現場用手電筒和外科手術模塊作出了一個臨時的等離子切割器。艾薩克作為一名工程師近20年的職業和責任似乎也對他的體態造成了影響; 在整個遊戲系列中,他走路和站立時有着非常明顯的駝背。

在遭遇屍變體之前,艾薩克沒有接受過任何格鬥訓練,他不得不用任何可以作為武器的東西來保護自己。艾薩克通過遇難者留下的記錄學到了對付屍變體的最佳方法,甚至在泰坦空間站爆發之後還保留了下來。

艾薩克似乎對信標的信號有親和性,他沒有像大多數人一樣被逼到殺人或自殺的瘋狂狀態; 相反,信標的失智症以幻覺的形式表現出來,通常是妮可 · 布倫南(Nicole Brennan)的幻覺,促使艾薩克完成更複雜的任務,以推進信標的進程。由於他的親和性,信標3A 能夠在他的大腦中植入代碼和創造紅色信標的藍圖。這些圖紙被 Hans Tiedemann 用來在土衛六空間站上建造12號信標,Tiedemann 說艾薩克被信標接觸的心智是項目中所有病人中「最純粹」的。

瑣事[]

  • Isaac Clarke is voiced and modeled after Gunner Wright in Dead Space 2, Dead Space 3 and Dead Space (2023).[6] Prior to this in Dead Space, Isaac's face was modeled after actor Max Shippee.[7] Although the player can clearly see Isaac's slightly battered face at the end of Dead Space, Isaac's visage can be glimpsed during the game's intro sequence; after the Kellion crash lands inside the Ishimura, the player can rotate the camera view around as Kendra and Hammond argue.
  • The name, "Isaac Clarke" pays homage to the world's renowned science fiction authors, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke.
    • Likewise, the names of his parents, Octavia Clarke and Poul Clarke are likely tributes to the esteemed sci-fi writers named Octavia Butler and Poul Anderson respectively.
  • In a 2021 interview with franchise producer and co-writer Chuck Beaver, it was revealed that the original story planned for Dead Space 3 during development of Dead Space 2 would have been the third chapter of Isaac's psychological journey. Featuring Isaac as an unreliable narrator alongside a "dark" version of himself, the story would have eventually led to Isaac leading the Brethren Moons to Earth due to being a "herald of the Markers" for having DNA compatible with the Marker signal. Dead Space 4 would have been a final confrontation at Earth, with Isaac "facing his destiny" and fighting against the Moons. According to Beaver, many of the elements from this original story were repurposed for the Awakened DLC.[8]
  • Isaac seems to be very mentally resilient. He suffered from three betrayals, the deaths of several allies, three years of mental torture on the Sprawl, constant peril in each installment and he is still capable of communicating socially with ease. Except in Dead Space 3: Awakened where he lost his sanity and went against Carver (who was also suffering from hallucinations) to try to slow him down because of the heavy dementia from the Brethren Moons.
  • According to the scales in the first Store that you came across in Dead Space 2, Isaac weighs 195lbs with his Patient Suit on. His weight rises from 195 to 255 pounds after wearing the CEC Engineering Suit.
  • Isaac's cameo in Dead Space 2: Severed is a wanted poster marking him as extremely dangerous.[10]
  • In Dead Space, Isaac holds his Plasma Cutter with one hand standing still while aiming. However, in Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3, he uses a two-handed grip.
  • In Dead Space 3, Isaac wears a flight jacket with a RIG attached, brown gloves and a shirt with an unknown logo with the words, "New Horizon" and "Hope". This is actually a stripped-down version of the Hacker Suit from Dead Space 2.
  • Nicole is not the only person that Isaac knew serving aboard the Ishimura. A comment in Isaac's "diary" (accessed via the Objectives tab in the Menu) that appears while he was on the Mining Deck implied his familiarity with some of the mining crew or even implied that he had been a crew member on the Ishimura at one time.[11]
  • It is revealed in the Extraction comic that Isaac strongly dislikes the Unitologists.[12]
  • In the PS3 version of Dead Space: Extraction, the trophy for completing the game on the Impossible difficulty is called "Isaac 2.0".
  • In Dead Space 2, Isaac canonically takes damage in only seven cases (the Slasher that pins him down in Chapter 1; being tossed out of the train car in Chapter 2; being slammed multiple times by the Tormenter in Chapter 5; being assaulted by a Drag Tentacle in Chapter 11; being thrown off the drill at the beginning of Chapter 13; being stabbed in the eye with the needle from the NoonTech Diagnostic Machine in Chapter 13 and being impaled twice from a Javelin Gun by Tiedemann in Chapter 15).
    • Interestingly, Isaac's gameplay health status only goes down in the first and last instances.
  • Isaac is one of the only eleven known survivors of a Necromorph outbreak with the others being Lexine Weller, Ellie Langford, Stefan Schneider, Tyler Radikov, Alejandro Borges, John Carver, Robert Norton, Isabel Cho, Nickolas Kuttner and Nolan Stross.
    • Isaac and Lexine Weller are the only two characters known to have survived both the events on Aegis VII and those on Titan Station.
    • Isaac is the only character to survive the events of all three major Necromorph outbreaks and is also the character responsible for stopping all three outbreaks.
  • Isaac has been likened to the character named Ellen Ripley from the Alien movies due to his surviving the outbreak despite a non-military background as well as the fact that he becomes a source of information on the creatures similar to Ripley.
  • Isaac is a playable character in the European "Death Edition" of Dante's Inferno.[13]
    • Additionally, Isaac is a playable character in the Skate 3 Free Skate Mode with the code, "deadspacetoo".
    • As part of the marketing promotion for Dead Space 2, Isaac Clarke is also available in Dragon Age II. The players could access the exclusive Ser Isaac's armor by using a one-time activation code supplied with Dead Space 2. This ended on March 31, 2012.[14]
    • He is also a playable character in the game, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale with his default appearance which was the Arctic Survival Suit. His rival in the game is Zeus from the God of War franchise.
    • Isaac was also planned to be featured in MySims Agents, but was removed before it was published as it was said by the MySims Agents concept artist named Genevieve Tsai, but there is still an Isaac Clarke costume that you can dress your character in. Isaac Clarke appeared in MySims SkyHeroes.[citation needed]
  • Throughout the series, Isaac shows unusual amounts of physical strength such as being able to dismember the Necromorphs with one or two swings with a weapon or by stomping on them. This is also exemplified when he effortlessly wields the heavier tools such as the Line Gun which weighs sixty pounds according to its bio-card.
  • At the beginning of the Awakened DLC, Isaac's left eye is no longer swollen from the explosion that he took earlier. Also, Isaac's suit still has its helmet intact, despite him ripping it clean off his face prior to the battle with the Moon. It is unknown how his suit was suddenly repaired without a Suit Kiosk and also how his wounds healed so quickly though this could simply be an oversight from the developers or an intentional decision given the DLC's hallucinatory themes.
  • Isaac seems to be resistant to many forms of damage that would normally incapacitate or kill a human. He can survive falls and otherwise fatal stabbings from the Necromorphs such as in the beginning of Dead Space 2 when he survives multiple stabbings from a Slasher while being pinned down. Near the end of the game, Isaac also survives taking a Javelin spear in the shoulder and another spear in his left hand from Hans Tiedemann before killing him. In Dead Space 3, he could survive multiple fatal gunshots as well as being thrown off a cliff.
  • Isaac and John Carver's masks are available in the game, Army Of Two: The Devil's Cartel as one of the choices for the player's mask. Both franchises are published by Electronic Arts.
