Infamous: Second Son

Delsin Rowe

Delsin Rowe

Delsin Rowe lived a quiet life as a delinquent on the Akomish Reservation until he discovered his Conduit powers while saving his brother Reggie from a DUP captive, Hank. After DUP director Brooke Augustine encased the tribe in concrete, Delsin and Reggie head to Seattle to steal her powers to heal their people and dismantle the DUP. Certain abilities depend on Delsin’s Karma alignment, with Good or Evil variants marked accordingly. Feats from the main game are marked S, and from the Cole’s Legacy DLC are marked C.
