Nathan-G187

Nathan-G187 is an active member of the Spartan-IV Program (formerly of the Spartan-III Gamma Company), but retains his old tag. He was born October 4, 2538, on the Colony world Miridem. Nathan is currently assigned to the UNSC Infinity with the rest of Fireteam Thunder.

Childhood and Spartan-III Training:
Nathan-G187 was the son of a single father on Miridem, and caught the attention of Gamma Recruiters with the top grades in his class, and his unusually high reading level. After the assault on Miridem in 2554, Nathan was taken to a refugee center offworld, where he was taken by Beta-5 Division agents to Onyx.

Nathan-G887 took to his training well, but found it hard to connect with the other Spartans, on account of his shy nature after witnessing Miridem’s glassing. Nonetheless, Kiara-G124 approached Nathan-G187 and the two soon became friends, and later joined with Riley-G315 and Isabella-G238.

Nathan-G187 seemed fairly unaffected by the records of Alpha and Beta Company’s augmentation, and underwent the procedure without complications.

Battle for Earth (October 20 - December 3 2552):
Team Katar engaged in multiple strategic attacks on Covenant forces, most notably in the infiltration of a Covenant weapons shipment due for the frontlines of the New Mombasa attack, and the subsequent sabotage of multiple crates of weapons.

Team Katar executed strategic assassinations of advanced Zealot teams and Sangheili Field Marshals, and one failed attack on a Zealot team, which left Riley-G315 wounded.

Post Human-Covenant War (December 11, 2552):
The remaining 3 members of Team Katar were sent on multiple small incursions into Covenant Remnant spaces, mostly to sabotage weapon shipments and assassinate high-level targets, with the intent to destabilize these remnants, and gather intelligence where possible.

Team Katar lost contact with Illya-G047 during an operation that placed Team Katar behind enemy lines, specifically to collect intelligence on a rapidly growing den of Kig-Yar pirates. The mission was considered a failure after the Kig-Yar fled the planet and scattered. (February 25, 2552)

Recent (March 4, 2558 - October, 3558)
Nathan and the rest of Team Katar has rejoined with Riley-G315 on the Infinity. The team has since been redesignated Fireteam Thunder. In the 7 months since rejoining, the team has had very few combat missions, although a large joint strike force with the Swords of Sanghelios brought Fireteam Thunder to the forefront of the hunt for Covenant Remnants, and placed Oru ‘Mdama with Fireteam Thunder.

Personality:
Nathan-G187 is anomalous compared to the rest of Fireteam Thunder. He is more relaxed and less confident than his fellow teammates, and often takes supporting roles both on and off the field.

His moral support and quiet maturity are a valuable boost to his team, providing a balance to their usual fiery energy.

Psychological evaluation flagged possible major depressive disorder.

Combat Skills and Training:
Superior marksman, excellent CQC skills. Usually defensive roles, such as drawing fire away from teammates or laying suppression fire.

Description:
185 cm high, 83.91 kg. Short, dark brown straight hair. Mixed ethnicities, primarily Germanic and Caucasian.

Equipment:
Nathan wears the Specter, a Generation-II MJOLNIR variant developed by Lethbridge Industrial. It has generalized improvements to the outer shell gleaned from tests with the Striker variant, as well as integrated sound dampening systems, integrated thermal imaging VISR, and enhanced active camouflage.

Nathan’s favored weapon is the M20 SMG with the extended barrel.

Trivia:

 * Nathan’s favorite color is purple.


 * Nathan finds it difficult to accept the alliance with the Swords of Sanghelios and the Arbiter, because of the Arbiter’s previous role in attacking human colonies.


 * Nathan dislikes the majority of the Spartan-IV’s and has been reprimanded for openly criticizing the program.
