Profile[]
Appearance[]
Nathan is a portly man with light brown hair and maroon clothes.
Personality[]
Owing to his wealth, Nathan harbors a sense of entitlement, particularly when it comes to charming women. Because he does not seem to care what others want so much as he cares about fulfilling his own wishes, he has earned himself a disreputable name. According to his bodyguard, Nathan's fondness for the ladies causes them no end of trouble; as such, though Nathan pays well, his bodyguard has little loyalty to him.
Story[]
When H'aanit comes to Stonegard in search of Z'aanta, she comes across Nathan attempting to woo an uninterested Natalia. In order to free Natalia from his advances, H'aanit provokes Nathan's bodyguard, sending the nobleman and his bodyguard fleeing. Nathan returns to his house in Stonegard Heights, where he continues to live in hauteur.
Etymology[]
"Nathan" is a name of Hebrew origin, meaning "he gave" or "gift of God." Ironically, Nathan is anything but generous, and instead prefers to take what he wants.

Trivia[]

- The townsperson by the western stairs in Stonegard Heights, as revealed by his biography, is a friend of Nathan's, who supports him as he pursues a craft in making hunting tools.
