## Biography

### Early life

Nathan was born into a decent sized family where he had four siblings and was the youngest. His fathers side came to America many years ago from Italy whereas his mother was the first generation of her family to come to America from Cuba. Growing up in a house with two parents from different areas provided him with a lot to of learning room. It didn't help that his fathers line of business had been a little less clean cut. Things became a tad bit difficult because of that and his mother did his best to shield it from the youngest.

His eldest brother, Vinny, was destined to be apart of that life but here in Red Lieu where his fathers family settled was meant to remain untouched by it. There was supposed to be no dealings in there unless absolutely necessary. No one was supposed to carry out hits. The ground there was protected and so the family was raised there as their father traveled a few cities over to where the base of business was.

It was something that Vinny eventually started attending with his father. All of his elder brothers chose to enter the business as they got of age while working through school. Nathan spent most of his time focusing on schooling though even as he got older. It was something he considered a lot more important then the dirty work that the rest of his family. Once he was getting closer to graduation, his father had told him that he could become the person who took care of the hotels that the family owned including the one in Red Lieu. Everything could be controlled and taken care of from there for him where it would resume safe. It was something that he considered.

Vinny didn't go on to college nor did Gabriele but the three youngest did. Niccolò went so that he could become a lawyer, Amara went to a hair stylist school, and Nathan went to school for business. It had been decided that Nathan would take up the offer that his father offered. Numbers and business was always something that he was decent at. Something that he could hold himself above the things that his father was doing to try not to think about it. Once he graduated college with his bachelors in business was when he was told that his father had arranged a marriage for him since he hadn't been that particularly good with girls. The young woman was apparently not the most social person which didn't bother him and she was rather beautiful.

They didn't get to spend much time until they were at their wedding day which was the longest they got to spend time together. It had been a tad bit awkward as all of their family gathered like this was some big event of love instead of two strangers who were getting married. From there, the marriage had been rather easy to manage. Layla wasn't one of those overbearing wives that he had heard his friends complain about at all or that his brother complained about. It was pretty tame and there were very little complaints that Nathan had. That was until the day that she informed him that she was pregnant with some sort of excitement in her voice. Pregnancy had not been a conversation topic to which Nathan was relieved about because he hadn't wanted kids. There were things that he had wanted to avoid which having kids made it possible of happening.

It was very clear that Layla had no intention or want of giving up the child. This was difficult for him who had too much pride to leave a woman who was pregnant with his child behind but didn't want her to have said child at all. It didn't help that he had found himself falling in love with her while she had seemed to still remain in this odd place of two people who just got married. This was something that had played another part in his choice to ultimately let her win. Once their daughter was born, he let her name it and life resumed on as normal except they had a new child. Nathan kept his distance from her as best as he could since he felt it was the best option.

This continued on as she grew up which he let Layla take care of it. Of course he was there for major events like graduations and birthdays but nothing ever out of his way to spend time or get to know her. This was replaced by an influx of gifts and payments for whatever she wanted. New cars, new clothes, vacation spots, and whatever else she needs to keep herself content. Distance was the only thing that would prepare him for what would happen in the future so distance was what he would keep. When she went away to college, there was a small breath of relief that came from him. She was far away from this place which had been the important part to him.

### Season 1

Getting the phone call from the hospital had been hard to handle. Distance didn't prevent the part that a child takes of someone even when they fight against it. During the drive to the hospital, he did all the questioning he could. Getting information with his family last name hadn't been extremely difficult. One of her friends had shot her during some incident with a gun and their friend Sam who had gone missing. Of course, he had known about Sam when he went missing but the male had never been on his radar really. While the missing boy might have been the biggest story in Red Lieu in a while, it wasn't a big enough story to him. There was no direct effect towards him other than his daughter possibly being a little bit upset which she didn't seem it at all.

The surgery would be extensive and they weren't sure if she'd make it. If she did, there was a chance she would be in a coma for a while. Some basic surgery had been done to which they'd have to open her back up or wait to see if it worked out. A tightening in his chest had formed as the worry that he had was rising again. The decision to him was clear but the hardest part would be convincing his wife who had adored being a mother without telling her the full story. When he had arrived at the hospital, it had been before Layla. Waiting around for her so that he could pull her aside and explain everything. It took some conversing before he finally got her on his side and it was agreed that he would make the decision. The funeral followed not long as he quickly did his best to resume his life even though it had been oddly difficult.

### Season 2

Once the trial came, Nathan did not attend and instead returned to work. When it came out in the paper was when he read it and when the book came out, he burned one that he saw an employee reading. Pictures were taken down and put into boxes as best as they could. Leaving his past behind him was the only way to cope especially when you had a business to take care of. The distance between his wife and him had seen to grown but she still went on date nights. She kept up with moving forward the best that she could as his wife so it was all he could ask for.
