Ces derniers jours avaient été difficiles, non seulement pour le coven, mais pour le leader plus précisément. Riley avait été écrasée pour voir son amie morte et Nathan ne savait pas quoi faire. Il avait proposé de chercher le meurtrier, mais elle avait refusé. Ce soir-là, Nathan était très, très saoul. Depuis, Nathan a essayé son plus dur pour réconforter Riley, sans beaucoup de succès. Si elle avait besoin de quelque chose, ou de quelqu'un de mort, il pouvait le faire, mais les questions du cœur avec lesquelles il avait peu d'expérience. Il n'y avait pas eu besoin de cela jusqu'à maintenant et Nathan devenait frustré par son incapacité. Il l'a presque perdue quand le chef de meute des bêtes l'a menacée. Il attendait juste que le signal saute sur ce chien avant que Riley ne l'appelle.
C'était il y a un moment, maintenant il attendait n'importe quoi. Il savait qu'elle pouvait le sentir, mais personne d'autre ne le voulait. Quand l'Alpha est revenu, Nathan était prêt à vomir, tout ce qu'il lui fallait, c'était une demi-raison d'attaque et il le ferait. Les deux ont salué civilement sinon durement et Riley a appelé Nathan, lui disant qu'il devait partir. Pas un pour désobéir, Nathan est parti prendre sa place devant l'entrée, avec un paquet à quelques mètres d'avance sur lui.
Nathan a gardé stoïque, un bref flashback de son premier coven griffé à l'avant-garde avant d'être battu. Ils étaient ici, avec nous, dans un but plus élevé. Alors Nathan se tint immobile et endura leur puanteur jusqu'à ce que Riley sorte et lui fasse un petit discours. Lorsque Nathan entra dans la pièce après qu'elle l'eut fait, il eut quelques mots à lui dire.
Profitant de son courage, Nathan allait faire quelque chose qu'il n'avait jamais fait auparavant. Donnez ses propres ordres à son chef. Nathan dit avec difficulté: "Je ne peux pas vous permettre d'aller seul, c'est dangereux. Si quelque chose t'arrivait, le corbeau serait perdu... Je n'ai pas la force de voir une autre chute parce que je n'étais pas là! » Nathan perdait son compositeur et il se sentait embarrassé à travers lui. Ça ne lui ressemble pas du tout. Après sa petite explosion, Nathan tomba dans l'une des chaises de la pièce et laissa sa tête tomber entre ses mains. J'essaie désespérément de retrouver une forme de dignité.

24

M

Hetero

Vampire

Leaders Right Hand
Appearance:
Tall, blond, and handsome. These are the words Nathan uses to describe himself and for the most part its true. Standing 6'4, he fits the tall description to a T. The blond because of his dirty blond hair and lighter, less dark clothing choices. Finally the handsome. Nathan is fair skinned, with only a small scar located on his chin to mar his visage and strong features like a heavy set jaw, broad shoulders, and heavy set muscles, he would be considered a catch by anyone's standards. Of all the things he takes pride in the most, its his tattoos. The one that most people see is the sleeve on his right arm. The original was just a flower surrounded by feathers and he just added from there. He has several more located on his body, the one he paid the most for and has the most pride in is the one located were his heart would be. This ornate tattoo is mostly a large rose that covers a large portion of his pectoral, with several tribal bands making the celtic trinity knot in the background. Underneath is a banner that reads "Munus est, ut sacrificet mihi or "My duty is to serve". Clothing wise, Nathan prefers mid casual clothes and his his usual line up includes. A vest, a button up with rolled sleeves, a tie, a pair of jeans, and a pair of dress boots.
Personality:
How Nathan acts is dependent on which company he holds. When in the company of superiors, he will be respectful, quiet, and ready to serve his leader. When around subordinates, he is fairly apathetic to what they do as long as they respect him and the leader. When around people he considers his equal however, Nathan becomes much more relaxed. He will laugh, crack jokes, and even drink a little around his friends, but these people are far and few in between so most people consider him a stick in the mud.
Nathans views of the humans are complicated. While he prefers their blood overall, he has trouble going through with it. So he mostly focus' on the scum of the earth when he goes to feed. Early on in his vampire life, he had made a friend among the humans and once word of this reached his superiors, he was ordered to kill her. Ever being the good soldier, he did and has regretted it ever sense. This is the reason he has trouble feeding on innocent people, because he knows they are more than just cattle to be fed on...not that he would tell anyone.
There are two things that Nathan truly hates in this world, Scummy humans and werewolves. The former is because they deserve his wrath, picking on the weak and defenseless makes him sick, so he makes them feel what its like to be the victim. However Nathan hates werewolves more. When he was just a fledgling, several werewolf packs had banded together to take out his coven. Peace negotiations were in the works for months and a peace offering was going to be made, when the negotiator came back it was in pieces. During the full moon they attacked, knowing that they were trapped and cornered the coven fought with all they had, but their numbers were too great and one by one the coven fell apart. Eventually the coven had killed enough wolfs for them to leave, but it was a hollow victory. The Coven leader had died and there were too few to rely on each other. So they torched the mansion along with the vampires and wolfs and went their separate ways.
History:
Before he was a vampire, Nathan was a soldier. Enlisting at eighteen, Nathan had gown through several tours of duty before he met the leader of his first coven. His turning was a rather traumatic one and he lost most of his memories in the process, leaving only his muscle memory and fighting instincts intact. Taking advantage of this blank slate of a man, the coven leader christened him "Nathaniel Duncan Griev" and started to groom him into his right hand. This included refining his already formidable fighting skills into the perfect hit man, who knew how to take down vampires and werewolves alike.
However as you know, his coven was wiped out before his training was complete and he wandered for a couple of years before meeting Riley and her Coven of Rose. After he was excepted, Nathan quickly proved himself a competent right hand was taken as such. From his position he takes the protection of the coven very seriously and will take out any threat to it, being werewolf, vampire, or something else.
Other:
Nathan's secondary power is his abnormal strength, even by vampire standards and can easily overpower most vampires with little to no effort. Secondly unlike most vampires, he does not have a voice of velvet. It is quite baritone and gravely, something the ladies appreciate greatly.
