## History

Nate Cooper is the only son of (Rider Creator). While his father was building the Gen Gear, SMART BRAIN determined that Nate would be the perfect user. They sent an Orphnoch to assassinate him and thus Nate was killed. Not understanding the nature of Orphnochs yet, his father was overwhelmed with rage and quit the project. Unknown to him at the time, his son had survived (though reborn as an Orphnoch) and went into hiding so his father could overcome his guilt.

Years later, Nate overheard rumors of a mysterious Kamen Rider who was destroying the Orphnochs. Realizing that this Rider had to be the Cell gear built by his father, he found his father and the Kamen Rider currently fighting against the ??? Orphnoch. He quickly transformed into his Orphnoch form and saved them, revealing himself to his father.

To his dismay, his father believed that he was not his son. Explaining the truth of his death and explaining that he retained his humanity, he managed to convince his father that he was still his son. He was happy to learn that his father had recently completed the Gen gear and knew that he would not be able to argue with him about who would use it.
