He wears a plain green tunic and waist cloth, typical of olden-world villagers. He also carries a staff used as a walking stick and wears glasses with one lens larger than the other.

Samos, as an elderly sage, is short-tempered, strict, and often delivers wise advice. He's very protective of Jak and Daxter, holding them to high standards and once viewed them as village troublemakers rather than heroes. Over time, he became impressed by their actions and eventually admits his pride in their achievements. His younger self, known as "The Shadow," is more focused on justice and rebellion against Baron Praxis in Haven City. As he gains experience over the years, particularly with green eco and the secrets of the Precursors, Samos becomes wiser and more laid-back, as seen when he serves as a leader of the Freedom League. Despite his growth, he remains protective, especially of his daughter Keira. Both his younger and older selves share a dislike of teleportation but will use it when necessary.

As the sage of green eco, Samos possesses abilities such as levitation, communication with plants and the earth, and abstract wisdom. He's implied to have other green eco powers, including healing and strength, and once threatened to turn Jak and Daxter into ferns. Samos can shoot green eco beams from his hands and create protective shields, as seen when he shielded the Rift Rider. He uses a staff as a walking stick and for direction but doesn't rely on other devices, except for his unique glasses with a larger left lens equipped with microscopy devices. Samos also wears various rings, though their purpose appears to be purely aesthetic.

Samos Hagai was a key figure in Haven City during Baron Praxis' rule. As a defender of the Sacred Site, he stayed behind during a Metal Head attack, protecting it but losing the district, which became Dead Town. Samos, also known as "The Shadow," led the Underground rebellion against Praxis, aiming to restore the House of Mar's rule. He discovered a child with a Seal of Mar, denoting royalty, and placed him under the care of Kor, who later turned out to be a Metal Head leader. Samos eventually met Jak and Daxter, who recognized him from their past but not vice versa. It's revealed that Jak had grown up in the past, and Samos would later take young Jak back to Sandover Village to complete a time loop essential for Jak's future battle. In Sandover Village, Samos raised Jak and continued his green eco research as the Sage of it. Samos guiding Jak and Daxter in their quest after Daxter was transformed into an ottsel. The duo ultimately thwarted Gol and Maia's plan to flood the world with dark eco. Samos, Keira, Jak and Daxter later traveled to the future Haven City with the Rift Rider they found, where Samos was imprisoned until Jak and Daxter rescued him. He resumed his leadership role in the Underground with his younger self and played a part in the revised Krimzon Guard, the Freedom League. He welcomed Jak back to Haven City after his exile and expressed regret over not preventing his banishment.
