Nathan West (The Raider)

== Nathan West ==
Private Nathan Charlie West is the main character and supporting protagonist in the Raider timeline. Serving as a false main protagonist in the 6th chapter, West is a Reaper that is fighting against ARF forces to prevent them from taking over the country.
== Background ==
Born on December 20, 2027, Nathan's life isn't known until he joined the USMC at the age of 18 and later joined up with the WTO as he was sent to Argentina. According to most WTO operatives, Jay has put several officers into training the USMC recruits (West included) into Reapers while he's in hiding.
== Biography ==
Nathan is first seen, standing at attention as his sergeant gave the team instructions to take over enemy positions. As the Marines fought hard against the ARF forces, Nathan managed to fight them off before Rattlesnake Riley shot him. Still determined, the injured Nathan fights Riley until he is eventually beaten and thrown off the roof, killing him and ending the conflict as the ARF managed to deal a major blow to the American forces.
== Personality ==
While not shown, it's rumored by various Reapers that Nathan used to be a reserved, level-headed, and focused individual that cared for the United States. However, it's shown that Nathan is very arrogant and self-confident in his ability to win the war by brutally murdering dozens of ARF soldiers with ease, showing his ruthlessness and viciousness in combat. 
Despite his cockiness, Nathan appeared to care about the country and respected his fellow Reapers to a degree, even willing to sacrifice himself to save them.
However, Nathan's new confidence and cocky attitude quickly led him to his downfall and demise, dying a prideful and brave man that wanted to protect Argentina and his fellow Reapers at the hands of the former leader of the same group that he helped found.
== Appearance ==
Nathan is an American man, standing at 5'8. He has a muscular build, dark blonde hair, blue eyes, and tanned skin. He has been seen sporting a buzzcut and heavy stubble.
He wore the WTO uniform except for a hidden bulletproof vest to protect himself from small arms fire.

He can quickly outmaneuver, outmatch, and outlast his opponents, even capable of taking on multiple opponents at once.

* Peak Human Durability: Nathan is highly resilient and sturdy due to his time on the battlefield. The greatest feats of his durability were surviving a severe beating and being capable of withstanding heavier punches from Jack, who's more skilled in hand-to-hand and utilizes brute strength.
