Nathaniel is a joinable character created for Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn available from the Docks District of Athkatla.

Introduction

Nathaniel is a young man whose life was disrupted by the events that unfolded in Baldur's Gate. A former Flaming Fist officer, Nathaniel was deeply shaken by the takeover of the guards by Sarevok's lackey and made the decision to leave the city. He can be found in the Docks looking for a friend of his, and the right man will be able to gain his trust and, eventually, love. The mod also features an extensive friendship track, allowing Nathaniel's character and attachment to the Bhaalspawn to develop if he or she is ineligible for the romance. Be warned: as a former law-enforcer, Nathaniel has deeply-held, rigid views on lawbreaking and will not completely trust a thief no matter his or her alignment. He will not tolerate criminal activity without good reason.

Biography

NATHANIEL smiles crookedly at you when you ask him of his past. One of those indirectly affected by your tumultuous entrance to the city of Baldur's Gate, his life was irrevocably changed after you entered its walls. His previous life, carefully ordered within the Flaming Fist, was a hard one but one that he looks back on with a mixture of wistfulness and nostalgia. Nevertheless, he does not seem to bear a grudge against you and respects you for destroying your brother Sarevok. Now his goal is to help you as best he can.
