Reggie Rowe is the deuteragonist in the 2014 video game inFamous: Second Son, he was Delsin's older brother and Sheriff of Salmon Bay, where the Akomish tribe lives.

He acted as a moral compass for Delsin, and frequently arrested and presumably bailed him for misdemeanor vandalism with his artwork. He has shown some distaste for his brother's newfound abilities, but still acknowledges his brother as a human being. Nevertheless, he does not show this consideration to other Conduits, namely Abigail "Fetch" Walker, and continues to see them as "Bioterrorists".

He is voiced by Travis Willingham, who also voiced Shane in InFamous: First Light, Roy Mustang in Fullmetal Alchemist, Portgas D. Ace in One Piece, Guile in Street Fighter, Evan Bernard in Time Crisis 4, Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Boom, King Roland II in Sofia the First, and Cannonbolt in Ben 10 (2016).

Biography[]

Reggie is the sheriff of Salmon Bay, implying he committed several heroic acts before the game's events. Although he was forced to arrest Delsin multiple times due to being a cop, he took no joy in that and tried his best to make him stop doing vandalism.

When he sees a truck with conduits crash, he immediately told Delsin to stay back and ran to see if there were any people injured. He comforted Delsin when he was scared about his new powers and told him that they would find a cure for them. He goes with his sibling on a quest to get Agustine's powers and save the Akomish from dying.

He warns Delsin that even though he was going to try and help people, the population of Seattle would still believe he was evil due to the D.U.P's propaganda. When Delsin starts to get arrogant of his powers, Reggie tells him that there could be another way to get to Augustine without fighting.

Personality[]

Reggie always looking out for his younger brother Delsin, even if he has trouble showing it sometimes. However, he is generally uneasy around conduits (often referring to them as bio-terrorists) and sees them as a threat to society. Nonetheless, he is willing to give them a chance at the urging of Delsin. He eventually begins to view conduits in a more positive light.

Trivia[]

Reggie's possible root name, "Reginald", means "wise counselor/ruler" in German. It can also translate into "advice", "strong judgment" and "decision". This suits his personality exactly, as he's a law enforcement officer and often acts as Delsin's moral compass.
1. Like Trish Dailey and Lucy Kuo with Cole MacGrath, he influences most of Delsin's Good Karma actions and decisions.
  1. Another similarity to Trish is that Reggie is killed near the end of the game by the main antagonist (Augustine/Kessler), which augments the protagonist's grudge against them (Delsin/Cole). The only difference is that Cole can attempt to save Trish (Evil Karma) , while attempting to save Reggie cannot be done.
  2. Unlike Trish however, he does not distance himself from Delsin even if he has Evil Karma and still loves and acknowledges his brother. This aspect could make him similar to Zeke Dunbar in the first Infamous game.
His role in Second Son is also similar to Zeke from the first two games, being a sidekick or ally. They also wield a revolver.
Reggie also shares similarities with Brent Walker.
1. Both cared for their younger siblings Delsin Rowe and Abigail Walker respectively when their parents were not around.
2. Both tried to make their younger siblings more responsible, Reggie constantly arresting his brother so he could stop vandalism and Brent eventually hiding drugs in order to make Abigail clean and more responsible. The only difference was that Reggie was a police officer while Brent was a criminal.
3. Both were killed by main antagonists of each game Reggie by Augustine, Brent by Shane (indirectly) thus augmenting Delsin's and Abigail's grudges towards them.
Reggie is voiced by Travis Willingham, who also provides the motion capture for the character. Ironically, Reggie loathes Abigail Walker, but Travis is actually married to her voice actor, Laura Bailey.
It appears that Reggie seems to hold a certain degree of contempt for Conduits in general, as shown when he harshly labels Abigail Walker as a "Bioterrorist". However, given his distaste for her vigilantism, he may have simply chosen to insult her by using that term.
