“	Every single problem at this prison was caused by you! Everything is perfect when it's just me and him. Nothing bad has ever happened… until you started coming in here!	”
—Sam to Tommy regarding Dream, after Wilbur's revival

Every single problem at this prison was caused by you! Everything is perfect when it's just me and him. Nothing bad has ever happened… until you started coming in here!

—SAM TO TOMMY REGARDING DREAM, AFTER WILBUR'S REVIVAL

Awesamdude, often simply put as Sam, is one of the eight original members of the SMP, of which he is the fifth, and joined on April 28, 2020. He is a citizen of the Badlands and the ex-warden of Pandora's Vault, where he was once held prisoner inside. He also founded the country of Las Nevadas along with Quackity.

Physiology

Awesamdude is an anthropomorphic creeper that wears a golden crown with a red gem embedded into it. He also wears a golden chestplate, along with golden boots.

At one point, Sam had multiple cloned bodies across the server that he could control and transfer his consciousness between. Over time, the conscious became attached to certain bodies. The original was stuck inside a cryogenic freeze, while others disappeared, died out, or traveled to the Dream SMP. The bodies that traveled to the Dream SMP developed memories that all bodies were aware of due to the shared consciousness. The knowledge of Sam's bodies was a well-kept secret that only Sam, Ph1LzA, BoomerNA, and a few attendants who worked for Sam knew about.

Personality

Sam is a skilled engineer and builder who wants to use his expertise to improve the lives of others. He considers everything he does to be for the greater good and for the good of the server. Due to that, he believes that all his actions are morally good as well. This resulted in him having a skewed view on morality and very little self-reflection.

After imprisoning Dream, he immediately started to define his identity in opposition to Dream. Dream was "the bad guy", which meant that Sam was a good person for opposing and keeping Dream locked up. He became obsessed with the idea of Dream as the prisoner and himself as the warden no matter what, which he viewed as being necessary to protect the server. He was fixated on this idea so much that he went to great lengths to keep Dream in the prison and maintain his power over him.

Since he was afraid that Dream would somehow escape, Sam let Tommy and Ghostbur die and tortured and killed Ponk for the prison's keycards. Furthermore, he kidnapped MICHAEL and killed Ranboo to try to get Dream back in the prison. He was fine with every other prisoner escaping as long as he had Dream. If he had to choose, he would have kept Dream in prison instead of saving his dog Fran, and he would have prioritized keeping Dream in prison over the safety of the server's children.

Sam considered every minor defiance from Dream to be a sign that he did not have Dream under control, and therefore the server was not safe. He tried to take any kind of power away from Dream so that he could reestablish his control over him. He starved Dream and restricted visitors when Dream burned his clocks or tried to get out of the cell, and he let Quackity in to torture Dream to try and take the Revival Book from him. Despite all of this, Sam does not recognize his actions as being bad and sees himself as a victim who sacrificed everything to keep Dream in prison.

Sam does not usually take responsibility for his actions, victim-blaming or gaslighting others to shift the blame. He blamed Dream for all of the prison's bad conditions, even those that Sam implemented himself, just because Dream had designed the prison. Sam accused Bad of being drunk and having memory problems when Bad tried to confront Sam about how he had heard Dream being tortured. He also told Tubbo that instead of kidnapping MICHAEL, he had just taken him out for a nice boat ride.

Although Sam is primarily motivated by "the greater good", he does not have much empathy and particularly looked forward to Dream's suffering. He was dismissive towards Ponk after he was upset about Sam cutting off his arm, telling him that he would do it again. In general, Sam has a hard time understanding why others would hate him or want to take revenge on him, thinking that they would understand if they knew his reasons.

History

Origins

Long before the establishment of the Dream SMP, Sam was an inventor who helped villagers who was a friend of Philza. While building a battery that could store electricity produced by lightning, Sam realized that he could use the energy for other purposes - cloning. Sam demonstrated the cloning technology to Phil, who became disturbed and warned Sam not to mess with the natural order. Sam dismissed Phil's concern, saying that the technology could be used for good and prevent death. Nonetheless, Phil was adamant in not using the technology and told Sam that he could no longer be friends with Sam if he kept using it. Sam moved the setup to a secret lab he built under his castle and continued using the technology. Eventually, his conscience became attached to the cloned bodies that traveled to the Greater Dream SMP. The original body became suspended in the cryogenic chamber under his lab, and Phil discovered it sometime after its suspension. Phil talked to the body, telling Sam that he had lost his memories and that he was far too lost to be recovered. Phil repeated that Sam had messed up by attempting to cheat death. Before leaving, Phil stated that it was going to be his only visit and that he had to move on with his own life.

Early Dream SMP Arc

Sam was one of the eight original SMP members alongside Dream, George, Sapnap, Callahan, Alyssa, Ponk, and BadBoyHalo. He made his first appearance on the server during one of George's Twitch streams on April 28, 2020. However, due to conflicts because of college, Sam was unable to play, making him inactive for several months.

Manberg Rebellion Arc

Return

On September 23, 2020, Sam returned to the server, much to the surprise of many people unaware of who he was at the time.

Sam started streaming the SMP on October 5, 2020. When he returned to the SMP after months of inactivity, he started making a base in the Greater Dream SMP, but ultimately decided to relocate to a secret base in a far away stone mountain that could be easily accessed via the Nether to protect his prized pet, Fran. George and Sapnap became his roommates after he started construction of the new base.

Manberg Rebellion

Main article: The Manberg Rebellion

Although he had originally chosen to remain neutral, he agreed to give Tommy shelter if something bad were to happen.^{[Citation needed]} After the Manberg Festival, Schlatt wanted to take down the Camarvan and killed a pet cat offered by Ponk. This put Sam against Schlatt, as he could not stand seeing such evil. Sam joined BadBoyHalo and Antfrost in forming their own faction, called the Badlands, which would use landmarks outside each of the four directions of the server to maintain chaos between Pogtopia and Manberg.

Second Pet War

Main article: Second Pet War

Sam helped Punz bring back a panda he found while searching for a trident on November 5, 2020. After his fellow Badlands members, Antfrost and BadBoyHalo indirectly caused the death of the panda, Sam fought along their side, secretly grabbing potions and arrows from his base in preparation for the oncoming battle. His chat snitched to Punz that he was helping them, but Punz did not care. The battle ultimately resulted in a victory for the Badlands.

Manberg vs Pogtopia War

Main article: Manberg vs Pogtopia War

Sam's enlistment in the Badlands put him against Pogtopia and Manberg, as the Badlands' main goal was not to support any side, but to instead make sure conflict continued between the two sides. However, Sam had personally established good relations with the members of Pogtopia, putting him in conflict, since he was loyal to the Badlands but also wanted to maintain positive relationships with both Tommy and Tubbo. When they heard that Dream allied with Manberg and betrayed Pogtopia, the Badlands chose to side with the Pogtopians.

Sam pledged his loyalty to Tommy after Dream revealed that he was siding with Manberg, gifting him potions and a creeper head which could be used to summon him. The next day, Tommy asked Sam for help, as Tommy wanted to TNT jump into battle to make a stylish entrance. Sam helped with perfecting the design, earning him more trust with Tommy.

Sam also spent time working with Tubbo to collect diamonds and ancient debris to prepare them for the war, and the two of them began to plan their future builds together.

Sam was originally aligned with Pogtopia during the war. However, alongside the rest of the Badlands, he turned once Technoblade began to follow his true ideals instead of following Tubbo's new administration, due to his hate for government.

Retribution Arc

Reconstruction

Following the war, Sam continued his work on the Guardian XP farm. He also built zombie grinders and spider grinders near his base. Additionally, Sam attended Schlatt's funeral.

Schlatt's funeral

Main article: Jschlatt's funeral

During the funeral, Sam gave a speech criticizing Schlatt and celebrated the death with the other attendees. After the funeral, he arrived at BadBoyHalo's mansion with Quackity, Puffy, Bad, and Punz, where Quackity revealed his true ambitions to resurrect Schlatt and use him as a political figure to overthrow Tubbo. Bad, Sam, and Punz pledged loyalty to Quackity, allowing him to carry on with his plan. Quackity gave Sam Schlatt's organs so that they could resurrect Schlatt on a night with a full moon. However, Sam and the rest of the couple questioned the plan. Sam didn't want to betray his friends Tubbo and Tommy, Bad did not care about the plan due to him having larger priorities, and Punz was fearful due to an old saying that when a living being is revived, that person will return stronger and more vile/evil than before. Sam kept the remains within his base.

The Prison

On December 5, 2020, Dream commissioned Sam to build a maximum security, inescapable prison now known as Pandora's Vault. He was given a time limit of 20 days, and began construction in an ocean that is part of Badlands territory. BadBoyHalo was upset about his shoreline, but Sam and Dream explained the situation to him and excited him about the rise in property value.

The Egg

Main article: The Egg

When Bad became seemingly mind-controlled by the Egg, Sam worked against him and destroyed the vines. Sam was psychologically impacted by the Crimson, terrified by how fast it spread and how it impacted his friends and fellow faction members. He claimed the Crimson spread "bad juju."

The Green Festival

Main article: Green Festival

Sam did not attend the festival. However, he did watch Tommy, Tubbo, and Dream argue about the destroyed community house. After Dream and Technoblade left, Sam ended up threatening to help Dream destroy L'Manberg if Tommy was lying about blowing up the community house.

Empowerment Arc

Post Disc Confrontation

After the Disc Confrontation, Sam and the other members of the server locked Dream up in Pandora's Vault, where he was the only prisoner. While on the job as the warden for the prison, he adopted the cold alter-ego of the Warden. Sam was the only guard at the time and was in charge of guiding visitors through the prison and making sure that prisoners did not escape.

The Eggpire

Main article: Eggpire

Whilst walking around on January 20, 2021, Sam saw many signs promoting the Egg and then saw Puffy, BadBoyHalo, and Antfrost having a meeting. They told him that they made a faction called the "Eggpire" in an attempt to control the whole server and broke the obsidian surrounding the Egg. Sam wasn't happy about this, and neither was Puffy, who was only there to gain information and destroy the Egg. Despite Ant and Bad trying to convince him, he deflected their attempts about the Egg being able to help them. Puffy then brought his attention to Ant's change of color, and Sam grew even more adamant that Ant and Bad were crazy.

Sam was later tricked and trapped by Bad and Ant in an obsidian chamber above the Egg for a few days, exposing him to its influence. He was rescued by Tommy and Puffy. Sam's judgment and opinions seemed to have shifted after he was rescued, seeming confused and woozy. When asked how he felt about the Egg, Sam stated that the Egg was "pretty okay," which alarmed Tommy and Puffy. Puffy also pointed out the red gem on Sam's crown seemed to be pulsating or seemed to be beating in a way. Sam was supposedly forced to eat himself by the Egg when asked about the experience.

The Bank

After finishing the prison and locking Dream inside following the Disc Confrontation, Sam needed a new project to work on and had ideas on creating a bank just outside the spider XP farm. The bank would allow members to trade for resources in exchange for actual money, creating an economy for the server. In addition, the bank would offer loans, allowing him to make profit through interest. He also considered letting people safely store their goods within the bank for a small fee.

Quackity also brought up an idea of making a new country based on gambling and entertainment, which would be able to control the server's economy and eventually the server itself. He asked Sam if he would be willing to partner his bank with his country. They eventually arrived at a deal - Sam would build the new territory and partner his bank with the city if Quackity gave him 35% of the city's profits. They wrote a contract, sealing the deal.

Sam started work on the on January 21, 2021, near the Rose Residence, but construction was paused since Sam's altercation with the Eggpire and experience of being trapped within the Egg room.

The Egg and Fran

On February 2, 2021, Sam returned to his base and found that the blood vines had overtaken his base. Whispers from the Egg could be heard, and Fran was found upstairs standing on top of the vines. The Egg then demanded that it have Fran, and Sam snapped out of his cordial view of the Egg. He then destroyed all of the growth and burned its remains in soul fire. With the whispering gone and base safe from the Egg, Sam traveled back to the Greater Dream SMP and began noticing the vines' growth that he had ignored on his travel to his base earlier. After ensuring that the prison was safe from the growth, Sam traveled to the Egg's room. He began hearing the Egg's whispers again and became overwhelmed, so he left the room to explore the surface again. Sam eventually returned to the Egg room and found Ant and Bad. Sam attempted to ask about the Egg's plans, but Ant and Bad disclosed little details, only telling Sam that that their goal was to get people on the Egg's side by planting seeds throughout the server.

The Hotel

At the same time as starting the work on the bank, Tommy hired Sam to construct a hotel on the site of Dream's old base. Sam's fee for this work was 32 diamonds, which Tommy paid through a loan from Phil. Work on the hotel started with the foundations on January 24, 2021, and has been built and project managed by his robot Sam Nook.

The Woo Station

Near the end of January 2021, Ponk began building a minecart ride to ask if Sam would be his valentine. During construction, Ponk hung out with Sam to get close to him and learn about what he likes so that he could set up a date.

On Valentine's day, Sam was given permission to go to the station. Sam went through the ride and was given the decision. Sam chose yes, sending him down the pleasant route with gifts. After Ponk logged on, the two decided on a day for their date.

On February 24, Sam and Ponk went on their date at a place Ponk had built near his Master Oogway shrine. During the date, the two flirted and conversed. Sam also showered Ponk with food and gifts.

Prison lockdown

During a prison visit by Tommy, explosions were heard in the prison forcing Sam to lockdown the prison for safety, trapping Tommy in with Dream for the time being. Sam set about looking for the culprit and hiring new guards, stating that he couldn't be everywhere doing everything at once. He hired his comrades from the Badlands, Bad and Ant, to help him guard the prison. They both agreed to the job, and Sam showed the new guards around the guards-only section of the prison and taught them how the various mechanisms worked.

Tommy's death

A week after the security incident, Sam returned to the main cell only to tell Tommy that he still hadn't figured out what caused the security issue, meaning Tommy had to stay in the cell a little longer. Tommy pleaded with Sam to be let out, but Sam refused. Sam left, only to find out later that Tommy had been beaten to death by Dream, resulting in Tommy losing his final canon life.

Sam later met Tubbo, Ranboo, and Jack at the entrance to the prison, where he revealed to them that Tommy had been killed by Dream. They asked Sam how Dream had killed Tommy, but Sam refused to answer and returned to the prison. Tubbo and Ranboo unsuccessfully attempted to enter the prison, and Sam told them Tommy had been beaten to death by Dream. Tubbo and Ranboo both remained in denial over this.

Hours later, Sam met with Bad and Ant, and he expressed guilt and sorrow for allowing Tommy to die. He asked Bad and Ant to investigate the security issue and what Dream's plan was. Bad and Ant tried to comfort Sam, and Sam asked them not to tell Sam Nook about Tommy's death.

The following day, Sam met up with Ranboo. Ranboo asked why Sam hadn't made an effort to get Tommy out of the main cell. Sam responded that he couldn't do anything and that he hadn't believed that Dream would kill Tommy. Sam also said that he hadn't expected a security issue to occur and had thought it would be good for Dream to get visitors.

Frustrated with Sam, Ranboo told Sam that he should have created more functions or changed protocol in the prison to prevent it from happening since he was the creator and warden of the prison. He also asked Sam why he hadn't just followed through with the regular procedures to allow Tommy to leave the cell. Sam stated that he would have done so, but he was afraid that Dream could escape or threaten Tommy's life in exchange for freedom. Sam then broke down, telling Ranboo that Dream had laughed when Tommy was killed, and that during his imprisonment, Dream had talked almost exclusively about Tommy. He also said he had a reason to believe Dream would never kill Tommy, and that he would never let Tubbo visit Dream for the same reason.

Ranboo then asked about the explosion. Sam explained that he had investigated the roof of the prison, but found no evidence on what had caused the explosions, and that he feared it may have been planned. He promised that he would find out who had planted the TNT, and together, they decided they would kill the person who had done it. Sam also stated he had thought about taking Dream's last canon life.

Ranboo confessed that he had helped Tommy burn George's house and Tommy had taken the full blame, leading to the Exile Conflict. Sam told Ranboo that Tommy's death wasn't his fault and wrote a page in Ranboo's Memory Book stating that Tommy's death was Sam's fault. He returned the book and left.

Helping Hannah with the Egg

Around March 9, 2021, Hannah talked to Sam about her house being covered in a red plant and her feeling weaker as a result. Sam suggested that they remove the vines, and Hannah agreed. They cleaned up her house, but Bad and Ant showed up. Sam made an excuse to save Hannah, saying she was allergic to the vines. However, it didn't phase Bad and Ant, and they took her to the Egg room. Hannah convinced Sam to let her go with them, telling him to find her if she didn't return soon. She was trapped in the Egg.

While looking for a place to burn the vines the next day, he discovered that the color of Hannah's house was leeched out and turned grey and white. Sam then traveled to the Egg's room and rescued Hannah, whose skin had also become grey and white. She said that she still felt very ill, but that the Egg was speaking to her and she wanted to listen. Sam and Hannah argued about the Egg and about taking down the vines on her house. Eventually, Hannah hesitantly agreed to take down the blood vines with Sam, but the Egg continued speaking to her. Later, Sam lied to the Eggpire to save her, causing her to realize that she trusted him more than the Egg.

Grieving with Quackity

Sometime after Tommy's death, Sam made a small house on a faraway island to get away from the server. Quackity somehow found the location of the island and visited Sam, who questioned how he found the place. Quackity didn't answer, and Sam said that he hung out on the island and watched the sea. Sam showed Quackity a grave that he dug for Tommy after his death. Quackity then reassured Sam it wasn't his fault and told him that he had to accept that it was Dream's fault. Sam rejected the idea, still thinking there was something he could have done. Quackity then said he could've stopped it by killing Dream, stating it was the only way.

Quackity started convincing Sam that he had to kill Dream. Sam equipped his gear and travelled back with him to the prison, with Quackity continuously hyping Sam up to kill him as they rowed. However, after reaching the prison, Sam started to have doubts and backed out of the plan, saying that Tommy wanted Dream to be in prison. Quackity argued that Tommy would have wanted Dream dead, and Sam told him that Dream was the only one who could revive people.

Quackity apologized for pressuring him and re-iterated that Tommy's death wasn't Sam's fault. However, Quackity also added that Dream would still have to learn a lesson and vowed to be the one to teach Dream if Sam was not capable. He left the prison with a warning that Las Nevadas had no place for emotions.

Quackity's first visit

Sometime after Dream resurrected Tommy, Quackity asked Sam if he could make a visit to the prison to speak with Dream. Sam hesitated because of Tommy's death. In response, Quackity said that Sam hadn't been a reliable business partner, first letting visitors die and now not granting him just one visit. Quackity then asked again Sam why they hadn't killed Dream yet. Sam brought up the revive book again, and Quackity suggested somehow taking it away from him. He told Sam that he would be able to make Dream give him the information if he could bring his axe and sword into the cell with him. After a lot of persuasion, Sam agreed.

They went to the prison, and Quackity went through the procedures. Before entering Dream's cell, Sam gave Quackity his warden sword and axe instead of the axe and sword that Quackity brought. Quackity then entered the cell with Dream, and Dream questioned how he got a sword and axe, later shouting at Sam to get Quackity out of his cell. Quackity threatened Dream by telling him that he was going to torture him every day until he knew about the knowledge in the Revival Book. Dream shouted again for Sam, but got no answer.

Ponk's torture

Sam, after hearing Ponk had taken one of the warden access cards, hunted him down and took his first canon life on March 23, 2021. Later, Sam built a torture room to hurt anyone that messed with the prison. Sam, hearing that Ponk stole more cards, put Ponk in the torture room and used several methods of torture until Ponk gave back all the books except one. With Ponk refusing to hand it over, Sam entered the room to cut off Ponk's arm, retrieving the last book.

Talking with Ranboo

While Sam was filling holes in the ground around the prison, Ranboo approached him and desperately asked to be let into the prison. Sam firmly told him that no one was allowed to visit Dream after Tommy's death, but Ranboo revealed that he wanted to be locked in the prison. He continued to beg Sam and even threatened to try and do it himself, but Sam told him that he was a good person who had done nothing wrong. Sam then encouraged him to go home to MICHAEL and Tubbo.

Red Banquet

Main article: Red Banquet

On April 23, 2021, two days before the banquet, Sam met up with Foolish, Hannah, and Puffy atop Cloud Prime to discuss the Banquet. Everyone accepted the invitation, but were suspicious of the Eggpire's motives and change in tone. Planning for an emergency, the four decided to hide weapons in the table and armor in their inventories in case it ended up being a trap. After the meeting, Sam and Puffy privately discussed the Egg. Sam shared that he was planning to build a secret TNT machine that could destroy the Egg. The two decided to keep the plan as a backup, as they were unsure if the Eggpire was genuine in wanting to turn over a new leaf.

On the day of the Banquet, Sam followed the rest of the guests into the Egg's room. Sam partied with everyone until the dinner, where the Eggpire revealed that the party was a cover for a ploy to sacrifice non-Egg believers to the Egg. After it was revealed that Hannah betrayed them and took the armor they prepared, Sam revealed his TNT machine. However, the plan failed, as the Eggpire had TNT-proofed the Egg after Quackity attempted to destroy it. Sam was forced to comply with the Eggpire along with the others and witnessed Foolish's death. He and the other guests were eventually rescued by Quackity, Techno, and Purpled. In the end, Quackity tasked Sam with the job of containing the Egg.

Ghostbur's visit

On April 29, 2021, Ghostbur scheduled a visit to the prison to talk to Dream. Unbeknownst to Sam, this was actually a plot by Tommy to murder Dream himself. Sam guided Ghostbur through the prison, with an invisible Tommy following close behind. However, when Ghostbur was on the final moving platform to Dream, Tommy revealed himself too early and was caught. Sam felt betrayed that Tommy broke his trust. He saw Tommy as a security issue, and demanded that he leave. While they were arguing, Dream took Ghostbur hostage and demanded to be freed. Sam refused, thinking it didn't matter because he was a ghost. Dream promptly killed Ghostbur, bringing Wilbur back in the process. Sam was furious at Tommy for infiltrating his prison and breaking his trust and blamed him for every incident which happened at the prison; in turn, Tommy was frustrated that Sam adhered so closely to his protocols. Sam stated that if Tommy were to come back to the prison, he would kill him.

Imprisonment of Technoblade

On June 6, Technoblade tried to visit Dream in the prison. Sam initially said that nobody was allowed in due to the deaths of Tommy and Ghostbur, but Techno showed him a book from Quackity saying Techno would be allowed to visit. Sam then allowed him to visit. When Techno reached the main cell, Dream exclaimed it was a trap, and Sam locked Techno inside the main cell alongside Dream.

Date with Foolish

On August 8, 2021, Sam and Foolish decided to hang out and have fun by blowing things up with TNT. He and Foolish got into a staring contest that quickly devolved into flirting. Sam asked if Foolish wanted to become "secret friends with benefits," as he still believed that him and Ponk were together and that Ponk would be destroyed if he heard Sam and Foolish had gone on a date. The "benefits" of this friendship were left suggestively ambiguous. Flustered, Foolish tried to deny any of Sam's allegations that their hangout was a date, but Sam continued to insist that it was.

The following day, Ponk learned of Sam and Foolish's date. Ponk was heartbroken and ended his friendship with Foolish.

Last visit

On September 14, Quackity requested a prison visit to Techno and Dream in an attempt to obtain the revive book. He ordered Sam not to step in, no matter what. When Quackity started threatening to kill Dream and Techno, Sam called for Quackity to stop, but refrained from stepping in. When Techno mysteriously vanished from the prison cell, panic ensued. They searched the prison for him, but to no avail. Sam and Quackity returned to the main cell to find that Dream had vanished as well. In panic, Sam locked down the prison and turned on the prison alarm. Quackity demanded Sam to unlock it so he could rush to prepare to defend Las Nevadas from any kind of attack. Quackity gave Sam one last order: Search the prison for Dream and Techno. Sam agreed, and unlocked the prison so Quackity could escape.

Immediately, Sam began searching the prison for Dream. After searching every room, he re-checked the main cell and found Dream hiding in a hole he and Techno had dug earlier. Sam was furious but relieved that Dream hadn't escaped. Dream begged Sam not to tell Quackity, as Dream argued that Quackity would kill him. After a long conversation, Sam reluctantly agreed to keep Dream's location a secret. Sam also expressed that he thought Dream commissioned the prison for Tommy and purposefully altered Sam's original ideas for the prison to be more inhumane so Tommy would suffer.

Events prior to Dream's escape

Five days before the prison break

While Sam was talking to Antfrost in the prison, Ant told him that he couldn't be at the prison on November 28. Sam allowed Ant a break and replaced his shift with Bad's, as he told him that nothing unusual would happen on that day anyways.

Four days before the prison break

Four days before the break, Sam followed a map with a place labeled "MICHAEL" on it. He arrived at the bottom of a mountain, in which he dug through a few blocks and broke into a room made for MICHAEL's protection by Eret, with MICHAEL trapped in a boat there. He then took MICHAEL away to his getaway island and hid him.

Three days before the prison break

Sam visited Ranboo at his house the next day to tell him that he needed to be arrested. Despite Ranboo saying that he didn't want to be imprisoned anymore, Sam insisted, saying he knew why Ranboo wanted to be locked up before and now agreed with him. Ranboo hesitatingly followed him, asking how long he would be in the prison. Sam answered that it depended on how long things took, but he added that he would need to get some information. He took all of Ranboo's items, except some food, and guided him to the prison.

Dream's escape

Main article: Pandora's Vault jailbreak

On November 28, Sam and Bad were summoned into the prison by their stasis chambers, indicating that the prisoners had broken something. After dying and being re-equipped with prison armor and tools, they investigated and found Technoblade and Dream breaking out. They tried to stop them, with Bad dying multiple times in the process. They blocked up the prison's entrance route, not knowing Techno had broken in through another area. Sam then asked Bad to give him five minutes to warn everyone and pull a lever on a stasis chamber to summon him back.

He started warning everyone that Dream was escaping. He then travelled to Las Nevadas to warn Quackity. Quackity was very angry since he had been told earlier that Dream had already escaped, and they could have made better security measures for Dream after Techno's escape. Sam convinced them, nevertheless, and was teleported back, just in time. Sam and Bad caught Dream, Techno, Ranboo and Connor during the escape and chased them to the outside. They were met with many people attempting to stop Dream. Sam ordered Ranboo to remove his armor by threatening MICHAEL. After Ranboo obeyed, Sam threatened to kill him, hoping to bring Dream back. When Dream refused to return, Sam killed Ranboo. Techno attacked him, but was chased off by the mob of people.

Legacy Arc

Aftermath of the prison break

Bad met Sam in the prison the next day, saying that he had packed and was ready to leave. Sam was watching the cell in case Dream hadn't set his spawn, and might die and spawn back there. Bad tried to convince him that it was futile, but failed and left. Sam later decided to heed his words and left. He talked to himself about how he didn't have a purpose anymore and that no one really tried to stop Dream, not even Bad or Ant. He sealed the prison, locked the doors, and turned off the lights, finally closing the prison for the foreseeable future. He travelled back to his getaway island and considered that it wasn't just Dream who was freed, but also him being set free from the prison.

On November 30, Ponk confronted Sam about the breakout. During the confrontation, Ponk said that he trusted Sam to build an inescapable prison and accused Sam of allowing Dream to escape. Sam continued denying that it was his fault, stating that he did everything he could and didn't expect others to want to break Dream out. Ponk also confronted Sam about taking the extreme measure of cutting his arm off, stating that it was ineffective and only hurt him. Sam told Ponk that it was essential to protecting the prison and stated that he would do it again if the situation repeated. Ponk pointed out that it proved that Sam didn't learn from his failure. Sam then handed his sword to Ponk and offered to let him take his anger out by killing him. Ponk refused, stating that he wanted Sam to stay alive, and kept Sam's sword.

Rescue of MICHAEL

Main article: Rescue of MICHAEL

On January 29, 2022, Technoblade, Eret, and Tubbo arrived at Sam's home to confront him about the location of MICHAEL, much to his surprise. Sam initially refused to give them the location, questioned why the three decided to work together, and said that he did nothing wrong in taking MICHAEL and killing Ranboo. After Sam attempted to flee when the three began preparing to attack, Sam surrendered, dropping his inventory and showing them MICHAEL, who was in a hidden part of his home.

With MICHAEL found safe, Techno, Sam, and Tubbo decided to imprison Sam for his actions. Nonetheless, Sam continued denying that he had done any wrongdoing. Sam was then transported to Pandora's Vault and forced to hand over the keys. He was then put into the main cell and left alone.

Imprisonment

During his imprisonment, Dream met up with him, stating that he came back to the prison because he needed a place to stay. At first, Sam tried to make an agreement with Dream where Dream would give Sam the Revival Book and Sam would stop looking for him. However, Dream liked his own idea better and decided to keep Sam as a "roommate." He told Sam that he would come back each day to visit and give Sam food.

On February 2, 2022, Sam was thinking over things in the prison. He had no way to tell how long he had been imprisoned due to having no clock, had barely any food, and wanted to get out. Sam spent a while pondering over whether Dream would come and help and lend him food or if he wouldn’t. Believing that Dream wasn't returning, Sam calculated that it would take only two days to break through to the wiring of the prison. While mining the obsidian with his fists, he started believing that Dream would return and decided that mining the obsidian would be a waste of time. After more flip flopping on whether he should break out or wait for Dream, Sam started thinking over who was a bad guy and who was a good guy. He tried convincing himself he was a good guy; he killed Ranboo because of what he’d done - or what Sam thought he’d done. He took MICHAEL so he could control Technoblade through Ranboo. He then decided that Dream wasn't returning and mentioned how he would die by the time he’d broken one block. He reasoned that he would die, respawn, and then finish breaking out. Sam then started breaking a block before the stream ended.

The next day, Dream returned to speak to Sam. Dream fed Sam a cake and probed him on his thoughts on the good and bad people of the server. Sam shared that he considered Techno and Eret as bad people, and Dream gave Sam a clock as an award for his progress. Dream then asked if Sam considered Dream as a good person. Sam replied that he did not, and Dream queried Sam if he considered everyone as equally bad in response. Sam said that some people were more bad than others, and Dream then questioned Sam on if he considered himself as a bad person. Sam was unsure, and Dream then asked Sam to compare them. Sam listed multiple things that made him consider Dream bad such as taking everyone's prized possessions for control, exiling Tommy, and wanting to kill Tubbo. Dream defended himself for each of those reasons, stating that he was doing theater to help Tommy learn a lesson and that Tommy getting exiled was not in his control.

The conversation then shifted to the question of who the good people were on the server. Dream then mentioned the names of people who could've been considered as people (Bad, Wilbur, and Techno) and listed their actions that made them bad (the Egg for Bad, and the destruction of L'Manberg for Wilbur and Techno). Sam stated that he considered Techno as a bad person, and Dream challenged his consideration, stating that Techno did not have a say in locking Dream up. After Sam mentioned that the majority said yes to locking Dream up, Dream told Sam that there was nothing stopping Sam from convincing the majority to lock up the others. Sam attempted to justify keeping Techno in the prison by it seemed like Techno was plotting a jailbreak, but Dream responded by saying that he was trying to protect Techno from being imprisoned by people he saw as evil. Dream then explained that his bad actions were justifiable while Sam's weren't. Through this conversation, Dream conveyed to Sam that being good and bad was all based perspective and that everyone acted in self-interest, making them appear as good to themselves. Sam started seeing Dream's point. At the end of the meeting, Dream presented Sam with an ultimatum - Sam would give Dream the keys to the prison, and Sam would be let free. Dream then left, leaving Sam with more food and promising to return the next day.

The following day, Dream returned. After finalizing the details, Sam accepted the offer. The two then broke out of Sam’s cell using ender pearls and Fire Resistance potions. Sam gave Dream a tour of Pandora’s Vault, telling him what each component of the prison did. At one point, however, Dream stopped him. He said that, yes, he would break him out, but not without killing him. After a little conversation, Dream killed Sam, marking his first canon death.

Post-death

After awakening from his death, Sam returned to managing his building business.

Sam Bucket

Main article: Sam Bucket

On March 27, 2022, Sam visited Foolish's summer home and found Bad building a giant bucket. Sam questioned the build, and Bad changed the build. After more questions from Sam, Bad explained that he met someone named Sam Bucket and explained his experience with Sam Bucket. Sam didn't believe Bad, and Bad attempted to prove Sam Bucket's existence by dropping the bucket that Sam bucket had given him. Sam still didn't believe Bad's story, stating that there was nothing special about the bucket and that there was no proof that Sam Bucket even gave it to Bad. Sam, weirded out by Bad's behavior, left to leave a note for Puffy.

Two days later on March 29, Bad talked to Sam about Sam Bucket again. Sam was still unconvinced, told Bad to get more proof, and left him to work on tasks. Following Sam's departure, Bad secretly followed Sam Bucket to a mysterious fountain surrounded by gravestones in the forest near Las Nevadas. Sam Bucket noticed Bad and chased him back to his and Skeppy's mansion where he blacked out. After Bad woke up, he met up with Sam again to tell him about the fountain. Bad led Sam to the fountain area, but only the fountain was found, leading to Sam thinking that Bad had built the fountain himself and was lying. Sam then questioned Bad's state and reaffirmed Bad that Sam Bucket was not real, also telling him to go home and rest.

Bad eventually started believing that he was hallucinating and that Sam was right. On April 20, 2022, Sam decided to investigate the Egg's room to see if it had breached containment and started controlling Bad again. Upon exploring the room, Sam found that the red vines had regrown and discovered a dark tunnel near the Egg. Sam went down the tunnel and found many messages on the wall such as "Never Go Anywhere Without Your Bucket." He also found he gravestones that Bad was talking about and chests with unsigned journals written in the first person by someone who had discovered the Egg and tried to spread the influence of the Egg. Nonetheless, Sam believed that this was all Bad's doing under the influence of the Egg and that Sam Bucket wasn't real.

As Sam continued exploring and read more journals, Sam became increasingly creeped out. Eventually, Sam discovered a room with a bright red portal. Curious, he walked closer to look at it and reread a journal. Out of nowhere, Sam Bucket shouted out "Sam Bucket." Sam turned around, saw Sam Bucket beginning to chase him, and ran further down the tunnel system to a ladder that led Sam near Bad and Skeppy's mansion. Upon surfacing, Sam lost Sam Bucket and ran to Bad, telling Bad that Sam Bucket was real. Bad denied it, but Sam showed the trapdoors and books, causing Bad to believe him. In the end, Sam told Bad that they needed to explore Sam Bucket's tunnels with other people after preparing and that they needed to remove the Egg. Bad agreed, and the two went off to prepare.

After failing to find other members to join them, Sam and Bad began their mission to further explore Sam Bucket's tunnels on September 9, 2022. Upon reaching the Egg's room, the two found that the Egg had gone missing. Sam, freaked out, ran out to find other members to join them, leaving Bad to explore by himself.

Encounter with Dream

On July 6, 2022, Sam traveled to Foolish's summer home to discuss with Foolish the project that he started with Sam Nook. Unbeknownst to Sam, Dream was speaking with Foolish about the summer home at the time. Sam nervously joined the two in the conversation. During the conversation, Dream asked multiple questions about Quackity and Foolish's relationship with him. Sam attempted to protect Quackity and Foolish, stating that Quackity had been gone for a while and that Foolish was his own person not bossed around by Quackity. Eventually, Dream shared that he was tortured by Quackity in the prison with Sam's support. Foolish asked Sam if it was true, and Sam admitted to it. Sam then remained silent while Dream asked Foolish to leave Quackity and join him. Wanting to speak with Foolish privately, Dream asked Sam to farm and craft food for him. Sam complied, leaving the two to discuss a deal. Sam returned with bread for Dream at the end of their meeting and talked with Foolish about the building contract before leaving.

A Helping Hand

On October 22, 2022, Ponk decided to leave his cave of isolation to reconnect with society and look for someone willing to help him replace his hand. While searching for Bad, Ponk found Sam organizing chests at the bank and called out to him. However, Sam ignored Ponk and continued with his work. Bad eventually arrived, so Ponk went to talk with him. During his conversation with Bad, Ponk realized that only Sam was able to help and asked Bad for help since their relationship was fractured. Although Bad didn't want to directly get involved with their relationship, Bad helped Ponk gain confidence and wished him luck.

Ponk approached Sam, calling out to him. Unlike before, Sam talked to Ponk, even offering Ponk a diamond while he sorted through his chests. Sam acted nice towards Ponk and enthusiastically showed him the progress on the bank. However, Ponk wanted to cut to the chase and asked Sam why he was acting so nice, despite their fight and breakup. Sam denied that he was ignoring their issues. Ponk then asked for his hand back and explained that everyone set him aside. Sam, smelling Ponk, asked if he showered recently, and Ponk explained that he left society to live in a cave of isolation. Ponk then returned the topic to his hand and asked Sam if he wanted to help. Sam, getting frustrated, explained that it was impossible to replace hands. This lead to Ponk questioning why Sam took it in the first place. Sam reiterated that he did what he had to do, angering Ponk and causing the situation to escalate. As Ponk left for his cave, the two yelled at each other, with Sam taunting Ponk and blaming him for ruining the relationship.

Egg conflict

Main article: Egg conflict

Puffy's birthday party

Sam was among the group attending Puffy's birthday party on October 23, 2022. Before the party started, Puffy met up with Sam to talk. Sam remembered Puffy's birthday and gave Puffy a cake, but was in a very panicky mood. He then told Puffy about Sam Bucket and the possibility of the Egg's return. Puffy was bewildered by this news, calmed Sam down, and walked him down the Prime Path towards Bad's direction. After Puffy reassured Sam, the two separated, with Sam heading towards Bad's direction and Puffy heading to her base to grab items for the party.

Following the meeting with Puffy, Sam found Bad and talked to him about the Egg and Sam Bucket. Bad calmly informed Sam that he blocked the Egg in with iron with Sam Bucket's assistance. Bad apologized for exploring Sam Bucket's cave without Sam's help and explained Sam Bucket. Reassured that they were safe from the Egg, Sam went to the party with Bad.

After the party attendees discussed their gifts for Puffy, they noticed that Puffy was taking a long time to prepare. Ponk and Bad were sent to check on her, and the two frantically returned to the museum. The two shared that the blood vines had overtaken Puffy's base, and Sam and the group followed them to Puffy's to see for themselves. There, Bad organized the panicked attendees into two groups to investigate the Egg's room and Puffy's base. Sam was put in charge of leading Ant and Hannah to the Egg's room and Sam Bucket's house.

While exploring the Egg's room and Sam Bucket's base, Sam and his group discovered an empty apple juice bottle and stained bandages. The three connected the pieces of evidence to Bad and Ponk, and theorized that the two were working with the Egg. The three then rushed outside the Egg's room to block it off. However, the three met the other group, who had also found evidence that implied Ant and Hannah working with the Egg. The two groups then rushed out into the spider XP farm chamber to discuss. Both sides accused each other of working with the Egg and showed the evidence they found. In the midst of the argument, Ponk presented a piece of Fran's collar as evidence that Sam was involved. Worried for Fran, Sam left the conversation and rushed to his base.

Arriving at his base, Sam found Fran missing and started breaking down. Sam later regrouped with Antfrost, who filled Sam in on the last part of the meeting. Sam and Ant convinced Seapeekay to join them and Hannah in preventing Bad, Ponk, and Eryn from breaking into the Egg's chamber. The three then separated to prepare for the confrontation.

Confrontation

Days later on October 29, Bad, Ponk, and Eryn executed their plan to break into the Egg's chamber. With Sam Bucket's tunnel leading to the Egg's chamber blocked off, they were forced to travel through the spider XP farm. Sam, Ant, Hannah, and Seapeekay were awaiting the three at the entrance and confronted them. During their confrontation, Ponk volunteered to be a distraction and started attacking the four, giving Bad and Eryn a chance to get into the XP farm. Seapeekay, Hannah, and Ant rushed in after them, so Sam was left to deal with Ponk alone.

While attempting to enter the XP farm, Sam was stopped by an attack Ponk. Sam attempted to continue going in while disregarding Ponk, but Ponk caught Sam's attention by saying that he had Fran. Sam began listening to Fran, begging for Fran's safety. Ponk then demanded Sam to drop his armor and weapons. With concern for Fran, Sam dropped the armor and asked Ponk to take him to Fran. However, Ponk refused, stating that he was in charge and that he would take his time. Ponk then cornered Sam into the bank by hitting him repeatedly with two netherite axes. Sam apologized to Ponk and asked for Fran to be let free, but Ponk refused the apology and told Sam that he only locked up the people close to him and hurt them. Unknown to Ponk, Sam had rigged the bank with explosives and a stasis chamber activator. Sam then activated the trap, killing Ponk and teleporting Sam back to his base. Due to Ponk's axe blows, however, Sam was left weak. Sam died on the floor of his base shortly after.

Original body reactivation

Years after the Egg's resurgence, Boomer located Sam's castle and discovered Sam's underground lab. Discovering Sam's original body in the cryogenic chamber, Boomer broke Sam out. Sam's body came back to life. Sam remembered bits of events that his other bodies went through - his deaths to Dream and Ponk, Fran being taken by Ponk, The Egg, and Dream's escape from Pandora's Vault. He began becoming overwhelmed with the bits of memories and began panicking, also wondering if he was alive and how long he was dead. Boomer reassured Sam that he was alive and reminded him that the other bodies died, not him. After Boomer told Sam that he saw Sam's other body last during the prison break years ago, Sam began worrying and told Boomer that one of his bodies met someone (Phil) who helped him start a new life years ago. Sam then remembered Fran and stated that he needed to leave the lab, thinking that he could go upstairs to relax and be fed by his servants. The two slowly made their way upstairs, and Sam began realizing that he was in the chamber for a very long time and that the castle was abandoned. Sam then stated that they needed to return to his mountain house that he built near the Greater Dream SMP region. Boomer protested, saying that he was fleeing from the blood vines and that it took years to travel to the castle. Sam still wanted to travel back, but had no means of fast travel.

After Boomer mentioned that he had been traveling for years to try to learn about his origins, Sam led Boomer to a pond surrounded frog statues in the swamp that he found while exploring for a place to build his castle. Boomer recognized the statues from his home and realized that one of the statues looked like his hat. Boomer gave the statue his hat, and a portal opened up. Sam told Boomer that it could be dangerous to go through, but Boomer trusted it and said that he had to learn about his origins before jumping in. Sam stayed at the lake, waiting for Boomer's return.

On October 26, 2020, Ponk played a prank on Sam by pretending to kill a fake Fran. After that, Sam moved Fran to a hidden bunker under his base. On October 23, 2022, Fran was discovered missing after Ponk found a piece of Fran's collar in the tunnel leading to the Egg's room. Days later, Ponk revealed that he had taken Fran and used it to get revenge on Sam. Sam eventually killed Ponk, but was unable to locate and save Fran before dying.

Relationships

Relationships with members
Name	Notes
Antfrost Negative	Sam and Ant had a very positive relationship, which could be seen generally throughout Ant's first days around the server and Sam's return. They were around the SMP together a lot, and also formed the Badlands together with Bad. Sam and Ant fought alongside together during the Second Pet War. Their relationship, however, faltered due to their differing opinions on the Egg: Ant thought that it should be protected, while Sam thought of it as "bad juju" and something to be destroyed. Ant continued to try and convince him to give in to the Egg, and Sam became concerned about him. After the blood vines spread, Sam repeatedly rejected the Egg's influence, which resulted in Bad and Ant trapping Sam near the Egg and exposing him to it. Sam escaped with Puffy's help, but his relationship with Ant worsened after Sam broke out of the Egg's control and realized that the Egg was controlling them again. Sam faked a positive relationship with Ant to spy on the Eggpire from the inside. During this time, he still trusted Ant enough to allow him to be a guard at Pandora's Vault along with Bad, because Sam did not believe, even under the Egg's influence, that Bad or Ant would do anything to jeopardize the future of the Badlands. At the Red Banquet, Sam tried to destroy the Egg by dropping TNT on it. However, Ant and the Eggpire had prepared for this. Sam had fully revealed himself to be against the Egg, though the other members already knew this, making them officially enemies. After the Eggpire was disbanded and Antfrost was no longer under the Egg's control, Ant expressed regret for how he and Bad hurt Sam while under its influence. Sam does not seem to hold a grudge against them and continued to let them guard Pandora's Vault, though they have not formally reconciled either, making their relationship ambiguously neutral. Their relationship deeply soured again, with Sam holding Ant partly responsible for Dream's escape due to his absence from work at the prison. Ant held Sam responsible for the majority of the blame, and confronted him on flaws in the prisons design/planning and information sharing with the guards. Ant later confronted Sam again along with BadBoyHalo, criticizing Sam's conduct as Warden, including the arrest and killing of Ranboo. At the end of the argument, Ant quit as a prison guard in protest.
BoomerNA Very positive	Sam and Boomer have known each other for a long time. Boomer was one of the only people trusted with the knowledge that Sam had multiple bodies, and Sam researched Boomer's past. Sam also gave Boomer a job in his construction company. Following the Egg's return, Boomer went on a trip to locate Sam's castle. After years of traveling, he found Sam's castle, discovered Sam's underground lab, and broke Sam's original body out of the cryogenic chamber. After being broken out, Sam remembered that Boomer was searching for details about his origins and led Boomer to a pond with frog statues. The two discovered a portal, and Boomer went through it alone. Sam stayed at the lake and waited outside for Boomer's return.
BadBoyHalo Neutral/negative	Sam and BadBoyHalo had a positive relationship, forming the Badlands with Antfrost. Their relationship, however, faltered due to their differing opinions on the Crimson Egg: Bad became obsessed with it and tried to protect it, while Sam thought of it as "bad juju" and something to be destroyed. After the blood vines spread, Sam repeatedly rejected the Egg's influence, which resulted in Bad and Ant trapping Sam near the Egg and exposing him to it. Sam escaped with Puffy's help, but his relationship with Bad worsened because of the long exposure to the Egg, but his relationship with Bad worsened after Sam broke out of the Egg's control and realized that the Egg was controlling them again. Sam faked a positive relationship with Bad to spy on the Eggpire from the inside. During this time, he still trusted Bad enough to allow him to be a guard at Pandora's Vault along with Antfrost, because Sam did not believe, even under the Egg's influence, that Bad or Ant would do anything to jeopardize the future of the Badlands. At the Red Banquet, Sam tried to destroy the Egg by dropping TNT on it, but Bad and the Eggpire had prepared for this. Sam had fully revealed himself to be against the Egg, though it seems the other members already knew this, making them officially enemies. After the Eggpire was disbanded and Bad was no longer under the Egg's control, he expressed regret for how he and Ant hurt Sam while under its influence. Sam does not seem to hold a grudge against them and continued to let them guard Pandora's Vault, though they have not formally reconciled either, making their relationship ambiguously neutral. Their relationship greatly soured again since however, with Sam holding Bad partly responsible for Dream's escape due to his hesitancy and uncertainty on the day of the breakout. Bad took these claims harshly and suspected that Sam was allowing Dream to be tortured by someone from outside the prison off the records and outside visiting hours. Bad confronted Sam along with Antfrost, and accused him of misconduct as the prison's Warden for the arrest of Ranboo, killing of Techno's dog, and suspicious activity in Dream's cell. This angered Sam, who denied the accusations and continued to highlight Bad's supposed failings during the escape. Sam also berated him for his apparent drunkenness, frustrating Bad who repeatedly insisted it was apple juice, to the point that Bad quit his job as a guard in protest, leaving with a call for Sam to come find him when he was ready to be honest with him. When Bad kept trying to tell Sam about Sam Bucket, Sam kept trying to reassure Bad that he wasn’t real. While trying to explain his encounter with Sam Bucket to Sam, Bad mentioned that he went to Sam first because he considered Sam as a reasonable person. Sam thought Bad was hallucinating because of the Egg and was concerned for Bad, so he went to explore the Egg room himself. After finding Sam Bucket's secret tunnels underneath Bad and Skeppy’s mansion and encountering Sam Bucket himself, Sam finally believed Bad.
CaptainPuffy Positive	The two agreed that the Egg was not a good influence on the Dream SMP and worked together to prevent the Egg's influence spreading to other players on the server. When Sam was trapped near the Egg by BadBoyHalo, Puffy rescued and escorted Sam home alongside Tommy. Puffy was the only one Sam shared his backup plan to destroy the Egg using TNT during the Red Banquet with.
ConnorEatsPants Positive	Sam was one of the first people Connor met on the server, and gave him materials to get started. Despite him later imprisoning him for stolen valor, their relationship still seems to be positive, as Sam offered Connor a job at his bank, which Connor happily accepted.
The Egg Extremely Opposed	When the Egg was first discovered, Sam was already weary of the vines, trying to destroy them at every turn. When Bad and Ant were corrupted by the Egg, he was extremely against their plans to take over the server, and their plans to use Tommy and Tubbo. This caused him to be trapped near the Egg, in an attempt to corrupt him and made him suffer for about 14 hours, before being rescued by Puffy and Tommy. Sam was extremely tired and weary. This is likely due to the intense exertion required to keep himself free from the mental effects. It is unknown if he managed to keep up his defenses until he was saved. Sam came to his senses and went into his base to find big vines around his base. He managed to clear the vines with TNT and tools, and while doing so, heard the Egg whispering that it would do something to Fran, his most beloved pet. He burnt the remains in soul fire. Sam later met Ant and Bad in the Egg room, trying to find out what the Egg said to them and what its plan was. He lied to them, saying that the Egg had talked to Sam and told him to go somewhere far away. Ant gave Sam a spore of the Egg, telling him to spread it. Sam awkwardly left the Egg room and burnt the spore on his way back to his base. He was scared of the Egg room when realizing Hannah could be trapped there. He was shaking while helping Hannah and protecting her in her house and removing the vines when the Eggpire came to her house. After the events of the Red Banquet, Sam planned to destroy the Egg with TNT. Upon the Egg revealing itself to be indestructible to TNT, Sam decided to imprison it instead. The Egg's power was reduced for a while due to the containment procedures and the members of the Eggpire regaining control of themselves, but Sam remained concerned about the possibility of it regaining control. After Puffy's disappearance, Sam and his group found evidence that suggested Bad and Ponk working with the Egg. Sam immediately became concerned and worked with Ant, Hannah, and Seapeekay to prevent the others from entering the Egg's room.
Dream Sworn enemy	Sam used to be friends with Dream, as Sam and Dream's factions were allies and Sam constructed the prison Pandora's Vault together with Dream after being paid by him. However, during the Disc Confrontation, Sam and the others went to fight Dream in his mountain base. Sam escorted Dream to the prison after he was defeated. Following Dream's imprisonment, however, their relationship grew negative. Dream, being lonely in the prison, tried to get Sam to visit him so he could talk to him. In contrast, Sam expressed disgust for Dream's actions, especially those towards Tommy during exile, and thought Dream deserved everything that happened to him in the prison. Sam also expressed annoyance at Dream's actions, calling him hurting himself in the lava as him "wanting attention" and giving him less food when Dream burned his clock to get Sam to visit him. He even nearly stopped giving Dream replacement clocks, but was convinced to give him more clocks by Bad. Sam was horrified by Dream's killing of Tommy and starved him for several days because of it. He was also willing to let Quackity go into the prison with weapons to torture Dream for information on the Revival Book. During his own imprisonment and time spent in a roles-reversed situation with Dream, Sam began questioning his prior belief that Dream is "evil," as opposed to merely someone who does bad things with his own reasons. Dream provided Sam with quality food while he was in prison, and Sam ultimately chose to hand over control of the prison to Dream in exchange for freedom. Dream did, however, insist that Sam still suffer the loss of a canon life as punishment for his torture before leaving. Since Dream released Sam from prison, their relationship remains deeply strained.
Foolish Gamers Positive	After meeting Foolish for the first time, Sam had doubts about Foolish, but Foolish showed signs of terraforming the land near the spider spawner so Sam could build his bank. Shortly after they talked about the Egg, Sam, seemingly pleased by Foolish, stated that he does not like the Egg. Sam and Foolish later encountered Puffy and had a chat about totems. Sam then offered to show Foolish his home. Foolish agreed and was amazed by Sam's knowledge of redstone and building skills. After this, Foolish showed Sam his two-headed snake build, and Sam was very impressed by Foolish's building skills. Sam helped Foolish search his builds for TNT during an Eggpire attack. In the end, he witnessed Foolish using his lightning abilities. Sam denied Foolish returning the help, sounding scared of what Foolish was capable of. Nevertheless, Foolish stood ready to assist Sam against the Eggpire. Sam was also intimidated by Foolish's past as a Totem of Death. After researching Foolish's history using ancient texts, Sam warned Quackity against letting Foolish become a member of Las Nevadas. He also flirts with Foolish heavily.
Fundy Neutral/positive	When Sam first met Fundy, Fundy scammed him many times. Sam knew that Fundy was up to something, so he did not show him his actual base and only the decoy base. Fundy also detected that Sam was hiding a secret, but decided not to investigate further. After that ordeal, they've only had friendly interactions and have gotten along very well.
GeorgeNotFound Positive	George was Sam's roommate. They decided to become roommates when Sam saw how weak George was and sympathized, as he too was weak. Sam developed a fatherly relationship with George, and when George moved out, Sam wanted him to move back in.
Hannahxxrose Neutral/positive	Hannah and Sam were always respectful to each other. When Hannah was having an allergic reaction to the blood vines, he helped her to clear them out from her house. When the Eggpire came investigating, he tried to cover for her. Hannah eventually agreed to be taken to the Egg, hoping to please the Eggpire while telling Sam that she would be fine. Growing worried for her the next day, Sam went to her house and discovered all of the colors had been leached off like her skin. Sam convinced her to come back with him, but she tried to kill him on the Egg's orders. Eventually, she managed to break out and hide from the Eggpire with his help. Sam then developed a playful friendship with Hannah, frequently trolling and trying to get a rise out of her. This was seemingly an attempt to bond rather than something done out of genuine malice. At the Red Banquet, Hannah revealed that she had been faking being on Sam's side and betrayed all the guests to help the Egg and Eggpire, leaving their relationship negative. After the Eggpire disbanded and Hannah was no longer under the Egg's influence, Hannah approached Sam about his offer to become the bank manager. After some hesitation, Sam agreed to give her a second chance, and their relationship was slightly repaired. Sam warned her that he didn't fully trust her and implied that he would kill her if she stepped out of line one more time.
Jschlatt Negative	Sam originally had no opinion on Manberg and Schlatt, but after the Manberg Festival, Sam witnessed Schlatt's tyranny. Sam, not agreeing with Schlatt's tyranny, took a stand against him and formed the Badlands with Bad and Ant.
Karl Jacobs Neutral/positive	Karl and Sam are neutral friends. Karl decided to move in after Sapnap's room was built. Their friendship was fractured due to Karl nearly accidentally killing Earl before Earl went missing on his watch, but Sam seems to have forgiven him.
LazarBeam Positive	Sam helped guide Lazar and Vikk to the jungle in order to get pure "untainted" melons, forming a positive relationship. Sam also allowed LazarBeam and Vikkstar to visit his base, granting them unlimited access to all facilities, and led Lazar to a village to trade for Mending and Silk Touch books. In addition, Sam gave Lazar an enchanted axe that Lazar dubbed the "MELON HARVESTER." After Lazar lost his original MELON HARVESTOR, Sam led Lazar to a village to trade for enchantment books and offered resources to craft a replacement.
Michaelmcchill Negative	Their characters haven't interacted a lot. However, Michael tried breaking Dream out of Pandora's Vault. Sam stopped him and stated that the only reason Michael was still alive was because he didn't think Michael knew what he was doing, as Michael was new at the time and didn't understand the motives for imprisoning Dream. Sam warned Michael, telling him that he would take all of Michael's lives if it happened again. Michael has also stated that Sam is not guarding the prison properly.
Ponk Very negative	Sam considered Ponk his friend, and Ponk thought the same. Despite Ponk trying to fake Fran's death as a prank, their relationship remained positive. Sam had later found out that Ponk had stolen two of his tridents made for Sam Nook. After Sam confronted Ponk, he found out that Ponk had removed the enchantments of the trident, which led to Sam becoming very displeased with Ponk. Later on, Ponk built a "Woo Station" to ask Sam to be his valentine. Sam accepted Ponk's request, making Sam and Ponk valentines at the time. Foolish had explained to Ponk that Sam was trying to get Andrea's heart, ultimately breaking Ponk's heart. Their relation took a downturn when Ponk fully became corrupt by the Egg and blamed Sam for breaking his heart. Sam took one of Ponk's canon lives after Ponk was caught stealing an access card to the prison before torturing him to get the other eleven cards that he stole back, ultimately ending up cutting off Ponk's left arm. Sam took one of Ponk's canon lives after Ponk was caught stealing an access card to the prison before torturing him to get the other eleven cards that he stole back, ultimately ending up cutting off Ponk's left arm. At the Red Banquet, Sam and Ponk remained civil with each other, though Ponk expressed his distaste towards Sam several times. Sam does not seem to hold a grudge against Ponk for stealing the prison keycards. In fact, when around Ponk, Sam appears to act as if their relationship is still fine. That being said, Sam also does not feel regret or guilt for amputating Ponk's arm or taking his canon life. Sam has stated that he feels Ponk was the one who brought it on himself by refusing to give the keycards back. After Dream escaped prison, Ponk confronted Sam and officially cut ties with him. After a long time living in a cave of isolation, Ponk approached Sam to ask for a replacement hand. Sam initially ignored Ponk, but acted nice when Ponk called out to him again after speaking to Bad for help. Ponk felt that Sam was ignoring their previous fight and directly asked for his hand back. However, Sam stated that the hand couldn't be replaced, angering Ponk and escalating the situation into a yelling match. The falling out led to Ponk asking The Egg for his hand back. Eventually, Ponk developed a plot for revenge. He put the plan in place by taking advantage of Puffy's disappearance and the divide between other members on whether or not The Egg's seal should be broken. In doing so, Ponk managed to kill Sam's second body and divide Sam from Fran. However, it also cost him one of his own lives.
Punz Neutral/negative	Sam and Punz used to have a friendly relationship. Although they did fight during the Second Pet War, Punz never held anything against Sam. They have been grouped together in conflicts and events multiple times, and were grouped together to assist with Quackity's date. When the crimson vines started growing, Antfrost and Bad attacked Sam after they tried breaking the Egg. Punz stopped the fight, pretended to find the Egg strange but harmless, and left the area with Sam. He and Sam actively worked together to stop any growth of the blood vines. After Punz joined the Eggpire and became corrupted by the Egg, Sam was dismayed by his friend's conversion to the Egg's side.
Quackity Neutral	Sam often supplied him with copious amounts of diamonds and other resources. Sam and Quackity did business together as the co-founders of Las Nevadas, and are good friends. Quackity comforted Sam after Tommy's death telling him that it wasn't his fault. However, he also used it to his advantage to encourage him to kill Dream in revenge. Though it took some convincing, Sam also trusted Quackity enough to let him bring weapons into the prison to interrogate Dream about the Revival Book. Although the two care about each other, Sam and Quackity often disagreed on the best course of action for the future of Las Nevadas. The two argued frequently, which typically ended in Sam reluctantly going along with Quackity's plans. During Quackity's final visit to the prison, their relationship was tested. When Quackity appeared as though he was going to kill Dream, Sam warned him to stop. When Technoblade escaped and Dream appeared to have escaped, the two viciously argued. No longer trusting Quackity, Sam agreed to keep Dream's real location a secret from him, secretly betraying their partnership.
Ranboo Negative	After hearing of Tommy's demise in the prison, Ranboo confronted Sam for not getting Tommy out in time. Sam apologized, stating that he couldn't do anything, as it was against the protocol. Sam then asked for his Memory Book and wrote in the last page of the Memory Book that Tommy's death was Sam's fault, before giving it back to Ranboo. When Sam tried to bring Michelle into MICHAEL's room with Puffy and Eret, Ranboo refused, telling them to stop and leave MICHAEL alone with him. Ranboo stared through the window of MICHAEL's room, saying to never get near him as MICHAEL was all he had. Sam then threatened Ranboo which got him into a bigger panic, telling them to stop and tried to kill Michelle when the little piglin was on the roof, in which his arrows hit Sam and Puffy who were trying to protect Michelle. Ranboo begged Sam to lock him in the prison for an unknown reason, even threatening to try and do it himself, but Sam repeatedly told him that he was a good person who had done nothing wrong. Sam kept his promise to not let Ranboo in the prison, but Ranboo still believed that he should be locked up, leaving their relationship on the negative side. Sam later took an unwilling Ranboo into prison, seemingly for that same unknown reason. After Techno broke Ranboo out along with Connor and Dream, Sam ordered Ranboo to remove his armor by threatening MICHAEL. After Ranboo obeyed, Sam threatened to kill him, hoping to bring Dream back. When Dream refused to return, Sam killed Ranboo, taking his last canon life.
Sam Nook Positive	Sam is Sam Nook's creator and made him help with the Hotel and protect Tommy. Sam Nook reports all information to him. Sam Nook seems to have positive emotions towards his creator. He shares a desire to protect Tommy with Sam, but it is unknown if their relationship would change if he learned of Sam's role in Tommy's third death.
Sapnap Positive	Sam is good friends with Sapnap. During the Items Conflict, Sapnap threatened to kill Fran. However, Sam forgave Sapnap. Sam later helped Tommy and Sapnap with their drug operation and also showed off his secret base to them. When he showed the base to them, Sapnap wanted to become his roommate, and Sam accepted the request by building him a nether-themed room.
Technoblade Negative	Although their characters didn't interacted too much early on, Sam confirmed their neutral-negative relation due to Techno's antigovernmental ideals clashing with Sam's proneness towards order. Sam believed that Techno is one of the biggest threats to the server and imprisoned him in Dream's cell, cementing their dislike for each other. Techno broke Dream, Connor and Ranboo out of the prison. When they got outside, Sam ordered Ranboo to remove his armor by threatening MICHAEL. After Ranboo obeyed, Sam threatened to kill him, hoping to bring Dream back. When Dream refused to return, Sam killed Ranboo, causing Techno to become furious and attack Sam in revenge, although he couldn't kill him because of the number of people attacking him. Techno got revenge against Sam by imprisoning him after teaming up with Tubbo and Eret, leading to a more negative relationship between the two.
TommyInnit Neutral/positive	Sam was very friendly with Tommy when they met. He helped Tommy and Sapnap with a drug operation and trusted him enough to show off his secret base. He said Tommy was always welcome to his base when he needed a break from conflict. After Sam was trapped near the Egg for a long time, Tommy and Puffy managed to rescue Sam and take him back to his home. After the Disc Confrontation, Tommy and Sam became close, after Tommy asked Sam to build him a hotel. Tommy gave Sam 32 diamonds as payment for building the hotel. After this, Sam agreed to protect Tommy and call him his best friend, as said in the contract, as well as building Sam Nook, a robot, to help Tommy with the hotel's construction. Sam seems to have a protective relationship towards Tommy. Sam explained to the Eggpire that while in the prison, Dream told him about all of the terrible things he did to Tommy during exile. Sam was against Tommy going near the Egg and grew upset at Bad for attempting to feed Tommy to the Egg. Their relationship soured when Sam kept Tommy in the main cell after a security issue came up. Sam said that he needed to keep Tommy in prison for some time more to find out the issue, which caused Tommy to get angry at Dream and lose his third life to him. Sam expressed a lot of guilt over not being able to get Tommy out of the cell in time and believing that Dream wouldn't kill him. He blamed himself for Tommy's death, and wrote in one of Ranboo's Memory Books that Sam should be blamed for Tommy's death so that Ranboo didn't blame himself. When Tommy saw Sam again, he was extremely mad at Sam not being able to save him in time for his death and not letting him out when he begged him to, even stating that he would sue Sam due to the fact that he was kept in the prison for over a week. His trust in Sam was extremely broken, although Sam was very glad to see him alive and still cared about him a lot. Tommy attempted to kill Dream by using a invisibility potion and going with Ghostbur to visit Dream. Sam managed to catch Tommy in the act. He was extremely angry with Tommy and threatened to kill him multiple times. Due to both Tommy and Sam’s actions, Ghostbur was left in Dream’s cell. They both heavily blamed each other for the events that followed: Wilbur's resurrection by Dream. Sam still does show that he cares about Tommy, refraining from killing him even though he thinks that he should and still showing guilt for letting Tommy die in prison. Since the intense emotions of Tommy's prison break-in have had time to settle down, Sam and Tommy seem to be on at least neutral terms. Sam still interacts with Tommy positively, and even requested Tommy's help in testing the Egg's blast-resistance. Sam also expressed anger at Dream when he revealed he thinks Dream commissioned Pandora's Vault for Tommy. This suggests that Sam is still protective of him, even after the events of Tommy's break-in.
Tubbo Negative	Sam and Tubbo initially had a positive relationship since they shared a common interest in redstone and other types of redstone adjacent builds. They worked together to drain the ocean, and often work together to gather resources. Sam has stated that he considers Tubbo one of his best friends on the server. However, after he killed Ranboo and relocated MICHAEL, Tubbo worked together with Technoblade and Eret to imprison him and retrieve MICHAEL.
