Sergeant **Nathan Edmund Caldwell** (known as Nathan Caldwell or Sergeant Caldwell) is a supporting character and minor antagonist in the Reboot timeline. Nathan is a former USMC sergeant who serves as Trevor Bachelor's right-hand man and the field commander of Bachelor's private army. He served as the secondary antagonist in both timelines and posed as a huge threat to the main protagonist.

## Background

Born on November 6, 1996, in Vancouver, Canada, Nathan grew up in a military family and after moving to and growing up in Austin, Texas, he worked with his father in acting before leaving the acting business and joined the United States Marine Corps at 18.

As Nathan rose through the ranks and became a sergeant, he got honorably discharged and was personally chosen by Trevor Bachelor as a part of his private army and was entrusted so much that Nathan became his right-hand man and field commander of the unit that stayed loyal to Trevor.

It's later revealed by Trevor that Nathan was highly skilled in marksmanship and is a very intelligent man, which hints at a Special Forces background.

## Biography (The Canon Series)

Nathan isn't seen until the 9th chapter, where he gave 150 grand to Jay Roberts for eliminating RSC leaders and aided his men in cleaning up any RSC mercenary on sight.

Nathan is seen again in the final chapter, as shown as he injured Jay and was part of Trevor's plan to frame Jay and to take over the United States. However, Nathan and Trevor were exposed and became targets. As an Army/FBI coalition force attacked their main HQ, Nathan ambushed Jay and despite gaining a slight advantage due to his combat experience, Nathan ends up being stabbed in the neck by Jay, killing him.

## Biography (The Raider)

Nathan is seen in the 3rd chapter, watching Jay and Trevor talk about Randall's bounty before leaving the room with Trevor, making a subtle, but threatening motion at Jay. Nathan played a huge role in the story, revealing himself as the main antagonist at first as shown as he executed Miles Harper, a Hive defector.

Nathan participated in Trevor's goal of killing President Tucker and even was willing to play with Jay before accomplishing his mission, as seen as he reveals himself to Jay before Trevor points his pistol at Jay and knocks him out, leading Nathan to burn the place down. However, Nathan meets his fate when Jay attacked the airport, killing a large number of Trevor's men in the attack. As Nathan ambushes Jay and even tries to shoot him with his sidearm, Jay managed to shoot him in the head, killing Nathan.

## Personality

As implied by Mordecai Winchester and Trevor Bachelor himself, Nathan is extremely loyal to the Hive and has a deep level of respect and trust for Trevor to an extent, which is later revealed that Nathan was rescued by Trevor, giving the pair a deep understanding.

Like Trevor, Nathan was just as ruthless and brutal, but he is far more vicious, merciless, and bloodthirsty than any of his allies, making him a more dangerous foe. He's shown to be extremely sadistic and callous whenever Trevor assigns him the most delicate jobs that most people aren't capable to do and even are willing to kill Sophia Tucker if Trevor gave a signal, flashing her a threatening smirk. As shown during his fight with Jay, Nathan visibly smirks and even claimed that he will "rip him apart", truly showcasing Nathan's true nature as an extremely sadistic and violent man that remained loyal to Trevor and the Hive.

Because of his strong loyalty to the Hive and his violent tendencies, Nathan ultimately led himself to his own demise at the hands of the man that stopped their goals.

## Appearance

Nathan is a Canadian-American man, standing at 6'2. He has tanned skin, medium-length brown hair, dark brown eyes, heavy stubble, and a muscular frame. He has a notable deep scar on his right cheek, most likely from his stint in Afghanistan after being captured by ISIS insurgents. While it's never shown. Nathan has the USMC logo tattooed on the back of his neck.

Nathan is seen wearing the standard issue Hive uniform but with a zip-up bulletproof vest than the plate carriers like his fellow Hive operatives.

## Trivia

* Despite being one of the most violent antagonists, Nathan appeared to have some positive traits, such as his respect for Trevor due to the fact he saved him from insurgents and that he didn't want to kill Jay and claimed to himself that he's following orders, which leads to his true motives being unknown to most characters.
* Unlike most operatives, Nathan is considered by many people as Trevor's lapdog and given the fact that Nathan seems to enjoy bloodshed, it's possible that Trevor might need him to do the most dirty jobs and that Nathan is more capable of doing more physical work.
* Nathan is shown in most scenes to be a quiet, reserved man. The only times that he spoke when he answers or asks Trevor questions, threatens Sophia, orders troops, and taunts Jay.
