Nathan Harris

**Nathan Harris** is a real estate agent who got trapped in Texas after driving down to look at a boat he wanted to buy. In his spare time he used to go hunting, camping, and fishing on the weekends to get away from the city. As a result, he has pretty good survival skills and is especially good at fishing.

## Recruitment

*Note: Nathan will die if he is not recruited before Day 41 (June 2nd).*
Nathan can be found in the church at Menard Graveyard. He should be willing to come with you without much convincing.

## Events

* 3 days after joining the Shelter, Nathan brings up trying out fishing as a way to supplement the Shelter's food supplies.
* A month after joining, Nathan comes to you to chat. If you're negative, he'll get a small Mood penalty - keep positive, and he takes a Mood boost as well.
* If Nathan's been in the Shelter over a month, and Craig's been in just over a week, you'll see confrontation between the two where Craig accuses Nathan of cheating at cards. If you take the side of one of them, they'll gain a medium Mood boost, but the other will get a significant Mood penalty. If you demand that they forget the bet, they'll both take smaller Mood penalties.
* If Nathan's been in the Shelter for just over a week and Troy's been around for nearly three weeks, they'll have a confrontation over cards. If you take the side of one of them, they'll gain a medium Mood boost, but the other will get a significant Mood penalty. If you demand that they forget the bet, they'll both take smaller Mood penalties.
* At about a month and a half in, Nathan will point out he's been working hard and ask for more rations. If you turn him down, he'll take a significant Mood penalty. You can give him the food outright (for a nice Mood boost), or Negotiation of 5 or more will let you haggle with him on the number a little more. If you have a Leadership of 6 or more, you can talk him out of the request for no Mood impact.
* At 50 days in the Shelter, Nathan will admit to you he's deeply depressed and worried about his daughters. If you force him to work, he'll take a significant Mood penalty; give him the day, and he'll get a decent Mood boost and be unavailable for the day. Negotiation of 6 or higher lets you talk him into working and getting a Mood boost, while Leadership of 4 or more keeps him working with a smaller Mood boost.

## Traits

*Initial*

* Master Angler: "When it comes to fishing, nobody's better than Nathan - he can catch 50% more fish per Fishing Spot."
* World's Greatest Salesman: "Nathan's cheerful and welcoming demeanor have given him an extra 3 points of Morale for the Shelter per day."

## Play Style

While he makes a good addition to a foraging team along with Survival experts like Bud or Priscilla, he can be a lifesaver when the Shelter is running low on food. With a fishing rod and enough time at a lake, he can generate impressive amounts of fresh food.

Nathan will react negatively to killing neutral survivors.
