"*Well... I guess everyone else can go home now.*"
— Nathan's first line in-comic

**Jonathan “Nathan”** is the conqueror and current ruler of all Levant. Very little has been revealed about him. He is apparently one of Bhatair and Gudrun Hollingsworth's children, and also the brother of Delaney and Enel.

It is probable that he is not actually Bhatair's son and is instead a St. Claire, since he is connected to Enel through Walter's Curse.

## Biography

Nathan was born in 853, meaning he is approximately 21 in current comic time.

Walter’s Curse caused Enel to grow at a rapid pace during pregnancy to match Nathan's growth; when Enel was born, Nathan suffered paralysis and an inability to speak, due to Enel being a baby and unable to move. For Nathan's health, Bhatair removed Enel to weaken the link of Walter's Curse.

Nathan appears to have witnessed the death of Thoth; whether he knows about Bhatair's survival is unclear.

It has been suggested that Nathan killed Joshua Shephard, king of Cedulan. After that, there was an incident involving Delaney, and Nathan sent Joshua's son, nine-year-old Apen Shepard who had just been crowned king, into exile. Nathan intended to execute him by way of the Weavers, but Apen survived. Under Nathan, Bellingrath took over Cedulan in the absence of a Shephard heir.

Some years later, Noah St. Claire was among a large number of people afflicted with Syllor's Curse who came to Delaney Hollingsworth to have the curse lifted. For some reason, the young princess was unable to lift Noah’s curse. Her failure prompted the dangerously unstable Noah to panic and attack multiple guards. Nathan apparently lounged on his throne watching the whole thing go on for a time without interfering, but once Noah lunged for Delaney herself, Nathan shot him in the left shoulder with his longbow and casually declared that everyone else could go home now. This is currently his only personal appearance in the comic.

A few weeks or months later, Apen, who was now living in Gallitan, encountered Enel Lanum at the orphanage and mistook him for Nathan. Because of their strong resemblance, Apen almost killed Enel with his sword before realizing he had the wrong person and backing off.

Two years later, Melete Dolan reported to Velvare Bamidele that Nathan had just conquered all of Levant. It is known that Velvare sides with Nathan, apparently unwillingly.

Although Nathan has recovered from the consequences of his childhood link with Enel, they still receive matching injuries on occasion. A mysterious wound on Enel’s hand suggests that Nathan received a similar wound.

## Appearance and personality

Nathan bears a shocking resemblance to Enel, with blue eyes and curly red hair. He is obviously much stronger than him, however, given that his weapon of choice seems to be a longbow. He also seems to have better fashion sense than Enel, and he wears Joshua Shepard’s crown.

Nathan is apparently smart and ruthless, given what we know of his actions. His motivations are unclear at this point, however, as is his relationship to Delaney. She is his younger sister and probably has a certain degree of authority in the kingdom, although that is speculative.

His personality type would be INTJ.
