## Biography

*"I'm just a spy with a story to tell."
"A dead spy."*
―Nathan Hale and Provost[src]
Hale was born in Coventry, Conneticut and was taught at Yale at age fourteen. He became a teacher afterwards with his friend Ben Tallmadge. When the American Revolutionary War started, Hale joined the Continental Army with his friend Stephen Hempstead and was soon made a Captain. In his first few months in the war, he befriended Henry Knox, who had a plan to take back Boston, and reunited with Tallmadge. Then, he was recruited by Thomas Knowlton to join Knowlton's Rangers to become a scout. Later, he volunteered to become a spy and was captured by Major Robert Rogers and was sent to William Howe. Upon his capture, he was brought to The Gallows. Historically, at this point Hale would of been hanged, but Hale was eaten by a book and saw the future. To stay alive, Hale tells stories of history to his captors in order to stay alive and narrates all his stories at the Gallows. In Hale's many stories, he often invites guests to the Gallows and interacts with characters in those stories.

## Personality

*"I'm not here to judge which wars were necessary and which wars weren't. I just tell the story."*
―Nathan Hale[src]
Hale is very calm, but he can get very easily irritated. Before getting eaten by the book, Hale was very cautious but clueless at times and wanted an opportunity to fight in battles. After getting eaten, Hale becomes more wiser and more serious than before. He also now can easily identify mistakes of people, including himself.

## Abilities

*"I saw the birth of the nation. I saw wars, heroes, and villains... explorers and inventors... iron ships, flying ships... millions of lives, millions of stories!"*
―Nathan Hale to Hangman[src]
* **Seeing Into The Future:** When Hale was eaten by The Big Huge Book of American History, he saw the future of the world inside. When he was released, this ability became more clearer to see, as he knew about many things and wars from the future before it was made or occured.
