Ambitious as he was, Nate hoped to remain the disciple of "the Magister" and to serve as his right hand man when he ruled the British Empire.Īfter Nate had been working for him for some time, Mortmain soon revealed to Nate the extent of his plans. Nate became entranced by the supernatural dealings of the club and soon became loyal to Mortmain, even after learning of his true nature.
Nate accepted and was soon introduced to the Pandemonium Club. When Mortmain found out about Tessa's existence, he was pleased, and, deciding that he could use and exploit Nate's anger and connection to Tessa to his advantage, offered Nate a job with his company. Even still, Mortmain arranged to have Nate brought to London anyway, as he was unsure if Nate was the child that Elizabeth had conceived with the demon he had sent to impersonate her husband. However, Mortmain was unfazed by his threats. He tried to use the information found in the letters, particularly the information regarding Mortmain's occult practices, to blackmail Mortmain, hoping to gain something from him, such as money or employment.
Through these diary pages, Nate also learned of the Grays' connection to the rich and mysterious businessman Axel Mortmain, as well as his parents' introduction to the Pandemonium Club before they left London for America. Through this, Nate learned that his "Aunt Harriet" was actually his biological mother, which seeded his feelings of loathing and spite towards her, which soon grew into hatred. As he got older, he began drinking, gambling and losing money, which Harriet worked hard to pay back.Īt some point, Nate acquired some gambling debts and decided to look for jewelry to pawn in Elizabeth's old jewelry box. īecause Harriet constantly felt guilty about never telling him the truth about being his biological mother, she spoiled him and let him get away with everything. Tessa and Harriet were both relieved when he eventually gave up the hobby. Despite his evident talent, he was short-tempered and easily frustrated, and became angry and aggressive whenever he practiced and failed to depict what he wanted to in his drawings. He grew up with Tessa, who was born a few years after him, and was led to believe that they were siblings.Īfter his adoptive parents, Elizabeth and Richard, died when he was six, he and Tessa were raised by their Aunt Harriet in Manhattan.Īs a child, Nate held an interest in sketching. When he was around three years old, he and his family left London for New York, where he spent the rest of his childhood. His father died before his parents could marry, so Harriet's sister, Elizabeth, and her husband adopted him to save Harriet from the shame. Nate was born out of wedlock to Harriet Moore in England.
