| ~ Nate to Russell. |
Nate is a major antagonist in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: 400 Days DLC.
He is a dangerous, sociopathic and unpredictable wanderer who has no qualms about killing and stealing if he feels it's justified.
He was voiced by Jefferson Arca in his first villainous role.
Personality[]
Nate shows to be an extremely odd individual, being shown to be crass, psychotic, misogynistic and dangerous while also at times appearing respectful, fun loving, protective and even empathetic at times. He picked up Russell on the road despite just meeting him and seems to respect and have a good (one-sided) friendship with him, even saving his life multiple times. Despite that, Nate is shown to be crude at him, accusing him of having sex with a corpse or even assuming he is in a gang, despite claiming he is not a racist, just calling it how he sees it.
It is shown that Nate is laid back, almost to a sociopathic degree, showing no outright worry about things going on in the world. He embraces his evilness to an extent and even admits that his humor is simply a way to cope with the situation, touching a brief moment of humanity as he apologizes for his actions to Russell. It is assumed that the death of his friend (caused by Eddie and Wyatt) affected Nate on a personal level and changed him into the apathetic raider he is during the events of Russell's story. During which, Nate's dark side is in full view, as he was willing to murder an elderly couple, and did, ruthlessly executing them while using Russel's words about his previous leader, Steve, in an attempt to convince Russell to kill and rob them with him.
Biography[]
Day 41: Wyatt's Story[]
During the zombie apocalypse, Nate went around in his signature truck terrorizing people on the road. Eddie accidentally killed Nate's friend, so he started chasing him and Wyatt in his truck. After he got into a crash they thought they lost him. When either Wyatt or Eddie gets out of their car to help a wounded man he pulled up to Wyatt/ Eddie and brutally attacked them. They manage to shake him off and escape with Nate firing. Should the player choose for Wyatt to stay in the car and Eddie go help the man, he will try to break into their car with a gun and Wyatt will have no choice but to leave Eddie behind and drive off. If Wyatt went out to help the man but left him then Nate will be seen killing him in the credits.
Day 184: Russell's Story[]
He appears in Russell's campaign as the deuteragonist and later main antagonist based on opinion. Russell, who was on the road, gets picked up by Nate in his truck. Nate said some very bawdy and suggestive comments to him and almost got him killed. When they arrive at a diner they are attacked. When they sneak around, they find out that their attacker was an old man trying to defend his wife and he begs them to leave them alone. Nate however wants to rob and kill them. After this, Russell leaves him in disgust, while Nate kills the couple anyway seemingly with pleasure. If Russell chooses to stay, he will happily gun down the old couple and proceed to take everything as Russell is left in shock. What happens to Nate after this is unknown, but Russell mentions on Day 400 that he had gotten away from Nate.

Trivia[]
- In Wyatt's story, Nate's hand gets smashed into a broken piece of glass by Wyatt if he stays in the car, severely cutting his hand. Then, in Russell's story, you can see the cut from the earlier skirmish on Nate when he goes to pick his ear.
- Also, if the player completes Wyatt's story before Russell's, Nate's truck will be missing its right headlight since Wyatt or Eddie shot it out in his story.
- Depending on your choice of words with Nate when Russell is talking to him in his truck, he may or may not turn his music on.
- In the original release of the game, the song that was playing in Nate's truck was "Walk Among the Cobras" by Dan Sartain. However, The Defintive Edition of the games, the music that he plays in his truck is instead "Scannin' for Cheeks" by Unicornicopia.
- "Scannin' for Cheeks" was also used in the fourth episode of The Walking Dead: The Final Season during the McCarroll Ranch scene, some fans theorize that Nate was one of the raiders attacking the ranch due to both scenes featuring a vehicle with the same song emitting from it.
