'''Senator Nathan Petrelli''' was the son of [[Arthur]] and [[Angela]], older brother of [[Peter]] and biological father of [[Claire Bennet]]. He also had two sons, [[Simon Petrelli|Simon]] and [[Monty Petrelli|Monty]] by his ex-wife [[Heidi Petrelli|Heidi Petrelli]]. Initially seeing his [[ability]] of [[flight]] as a gift from [[God]], Nathan took every opportunity he could to try and help those around him. After discovering his [[Petrelli (disambig)|parents]] injected him with the [[genetic modification formula|formula]] at a young age, Nathan turned against his kind and worked with [[The President|The President of the United States]] to capture anyone with abilities. Despite that, he still tried his best to keep his family members safe, even if it meant risking his own secrets coming out. Nathan was brutally murdered by [[Sylar]], who had already obtained Nathan's [[shape shifting|form]] and [[clairsentience|memories]] in order to meet and replace the President. However, [[Matt Parkman]] [[moral ambiguity|questionably]] used both abilities against Sylar by [[telepathy|forcing him to believe]] he is Nathan, and is now living Nathan's life, unaware of his true identity. |
|||
==About== |
|||
Nathan, ambitious, pragmatic and an aspiring politician inspired by his [[Arthur Petrelli|father]], seeks to one day help the world by occupying a high position in the government. Nathan made many questionable choices and did or supported many bad things during his [[Nathan's campaign|long and painful struggle]] for power. In the end, Nathan, upon succeeding in becoming New York State Congressman, realized how much his efforts had cost him when his beloved, yet somewhat estranged, [[Peter|younger brother]] [[Induced radioactivity|detonated]] above the city. Resigning from office, Nathan went through a long period of [[depression]], steadily driving his friends and family away, though with time, coupled with Peter's return, did Nathan resolve to make things right. To this end, he attempted to reveal the existence of evolved humans to the world, only to suffer an assassination attempt. Miraculously recovering, Nathan attributes his healing to an act of [[Faith and religion|God]], and believes [[evolved humans]] to be God's servants to His will on Earth. To this end, Nathan has since accepted the position of Junior Senator of New York, with [[Tracy Strauss]] as his aide. Nathan eventually pledges his allegiance to his father's plans to [[formula|synthetically]] give people [[abilities]], despite his father's previous attempts to kill Nathan. Unfortunately, these plans fail, so Nathan reveals the existence of evolved humans to [[the President]], like he tried to at the press conference before he was shot. They both agree to have the government capture them and place them in a facility where no harm can be done. His biological body was killed by [[Sylar]], but his memories were [[Telepathy|transferred]] by [[Matt Parkman]] into Sylar's body. (''[[An Invisible Thread]]'') |
|||
==Character History== |
|||
===[[Season One]]=== |
|||
{{season summary|season=One}} |
|||
[[Image:1x01campaign.JPG|thumb|left|Nathan has an interesting conversation with [[Peter|his brother]].]] |
|||
Nathan is busy with his [[Nathan's campaign|campaign]] when his [[Peter Petrelli|brother]] claims he can [[Flight|fly]]. Peter resorts to jumping from a building, but Nathan [[Flight|flies]], yet fails to catch him. The next day, Nathan is forced to admit that he can fly. He tells the public that Peter is [[Suicide|suicidal]] to keep the reporters away. [[Mohinder Suresh|Mohinder]] pesters him on the streets, which he gets away from, and he meets with [[Niki Sanders|Niki]], whom he sleeps with. During his sleep, he is kidnapped by [[Noah Bennet|Bennet]] and [[the Haitian]], whom he [[Flight|escapes]] from. Landing at a [[Fly By Night Diner|diner]], he meets [[Hiro Nakamura|Hiro]], and is warned of a [[Explosion Future|dark future]], but is told he will win the election. |
|||
Back at [[New York, NY|New York]], he has brunch with his [[family]], and buys a [[The missing painting|painting]] from [[Daniel Linderman|Linderman]] at [[Peter|his brother's]] request. He brings it to [[Isaac's apartment|Isaac's loft]], and, upon seeing it, splashes it with paint, leaving [[Simone Deveaux|Simone]] with the mess. He then gets Peter from [[Odessa Sheriff's Department|jail]] after the [[Homecoming (event)|homecoming incident]], and witnesses him fall [[Peter's dreams|unconscious]], after claiming he is the [[explosion|bomb]]. Nathan stays at his side for two weeks. |
|||
He visits [[Isaac Mendez|Isaac]] and Simone about the [[Isaac's paintings|paintings]], meeting with Hiro again. They talk, and agree to stop the [[exploding man]]. Nathan finds Mohinder, and they unsuccessfully try to calm Peter down in his [[Peter's apartment|apartment]]. Afterwards, he finds out that his daughter, [[Claire Bennet|Claire]], is still alive from [[Meredith Gordon|Meredith]]. He visits her, and gives her [[Nathan's bribe money|money]] for her to be silent. He resumes his quest to bring Linderman down - only for Peter to [[Invisibility|appear]] and tell him Simone is [[death|dead]]. Nathan goes to the [[Corinthian Casino]] regardless, and finds Hiro. Helping Hiro get his [[Kensei sword|sword]], Nathan forcefully takes Niki's gun, and meets Linderman. Linderman offers Nathan a "life of meaning", which he accepts - a life of meaning being a life in the [[White House]]. Nathan discovers that his brother has been [[Sylar's victims|killed]], and goes to the [[Petrelli mansion]], only to see Claire, who [[Rapid cell regeneration|revives]] Peter. |
|||
Nathan, Peter and Claire talk about the [[explosion]], and Claire tells Nathan about [[Ted Sprague|Ted]]. Nathan warns Linderman about Ted, and gets a visit from [[Mr. Thompson|Thompson]], who assures Nathan that Ted is not a problem. Finally, [[Angela Petrelli|Angela]] convinces Nathan to take the role of President once the catastrophe has occurred. Linderman also helps, telling him that his [[Mr. Petrelli|father]] was "[[evolved human|one of us]]". After, he receives a visit from [[D.L. Hawkins|D.L.]] and [[Jessica Sanders|Jessica]] while he wins the election, and tells them where Linderman is. He gives his victory speech. He convinces his mother he is ready for his role, and meets with Peter and Claire - only to take Claire away from Peter. He confirms to Claire that he is involved, and Claire escapes by jumping through the window. Finally, before Peter can [[induced radioactivity|explode]], Nathan [[Flight|flies]] in, grabs Peter, and [[Flight|flies]] away, allowing the [[explosion]] to occur above the [[New York, NY|city]] having realized that Claire was right. |
|||
===[[Season Two]]=== |
|||
{{season summary|season=Two}} |
|||
Nathan walks in [[Peter's apartment]] and finds [[Angela]] looking at a photograph of her sons. She tells Nathan that it's time to accept [[Peter]]'s death, but Nathan refuses to believe it. Angela realizes that Nathan is drunk and tells him that she is happy his father isn't here to see him like that. At a bar, he catches his reflection and sees a horribly disfigured, scarred visage looking back at him. Nathan's wife left him, taking the children, and he lost his job and Congressman status. |
|||
[[Image:NightmareNathanvsNathan.jpg|thumb|left|Nathan fights himself in a [[Telepathy|nightmare]].]] |
|||
Nathan is greeted by [[Matt]] while waiting to pickup Angela from the police station. Angela is attacked [[Maury|mysteriously]] in the station, and Matt and Nathan help her. Later, Nathan comes to visit her in hospital, and talks with Matt about the murder of [[Kaito]]. Matt tells Nathan that his mother confessed the murder of Kaito Nakamura, but Matt says he knows Angela is innocent. Nathan asks how he knows this, and Matt reveals that he has the ability to [[telepathy|read minds]], and he also knows that Nathan can [[flight|fly]]. Angela is arrested for the murder, and Nathan meets with Matt to give him some information about [[the Group of Twelve|a familiar photo]]. |
|||
Nathan and Matt travel to [[Maury]]'s [[Maury Parkman's apartment|apartment]], and question Maury. Soon after, using [[telepathy]], Maury manages to lock Nathan and Matt in their own personal nightmares. Nathan is on top of the [[Deveaux Building]], watching helplessly as [[New York, NY|New York]] burns in the [[Explosion Future|aftermath]] of [[the explosion]]. A fight ensues between him and his disfigured self, which ends when Matt [[telepathy|inserts]] a thought in Nathan's head, as they realize they are not having two separate fights but are, in fact, fighting each other. They then find another photo marked with [[the Symbol]], this time of [[Bob]]. |
|||
What happened after flying away from Kirby Plaza is revealed: Nathan held onto Peter and flew him high into the air, despite the radiation burning him severely. Peter forces Nathan to release him, falls away, and explodes. Nathan is hit by the shockwave and is knocked out, but Peter flies in and saves him and takes him to the hospital. There he is horrified by his new disfigured image and tells Hedi the truth, but Angela covers it up. Later he is healed by Peter and Adam Monroe who inject Adam's blood into him, causing his burns to heal. |
|||
Nathan and Matt arrive at [[the Company]]'s [[Primatech Research|facility]] to warn Bob that Maury is after him. Bob shows Nathan [[surveillance|videos]] of Peter and tells Nathan they last knew Peter was in [[Ireland]] when [[Niki]] begins [[super strength|punching holes]] into the door of Bob's office. Niki breaks in and grabs Nathan, and he and Bob try to bring her to her senses, only to have her inject herself with [[Shanti virus|the virus]]. |
|||
[[Image:Nathan's press conference.jpg|thumb|right|Nathan prepares to go public about his [[Flight|ability]].]] |
|||
Angela tells Nathan and Matt that the strain of virus they are seeking is in [[Odessa, Texas]], also where Peter and Adam will most likely be. Nathan flies himself and Matt there, and they spot [[Hiro]] at an entryway, excited to see them both. A little time later, they make their way down to where Adam and Peter are and Matt goes in first to try and stop Peter. After some fighting, Nathan sees Peter. He tells Peter that he is glad to see him and also tells him of what Adam almost did with the virus and what he plans to do. After telling Peter that he loves him, Peter runs to the vault and is able to catch the vial of Strain 138 before it shatters on the ground. Nathan, Matt and Peter decide they need to destroy the virus, which Peter does with his ability of Ted's induced radiation. Nathan wants to go public with their abilities, and trusts Matt to arrange this and to allow everyone to believe him. The trio arrives at the Odessa Police Station where the conference is about to go underway. The arrangements have been made and Matt informs Nathan that everyone will listen to what he has to say. Nathan takes the stand and starts telling explaining about his experiences. He braces himself to announce his ability, and as he is about to tell the world what he can do, he is shot twice in the chest by an unknown assailant. Nathan staggers back and is caught by Peter, who tries to keep him conscious. |
|||
===[[Season Three]]=== |
|||
{{season summary|season=Three}} |
|||
[[Image:Trathan.jpg|thumb|left|Nathan connects with [[Tracy]].]] |
|||
Nathan is rushed to the hospital after being shot by his [[Peter Petrelli (Exposed future)|brother from the future]]. He is declared dead but somehow comes back to life while Peter is with him. Nathan visits the Chapel, and gives some inspiring words to the people within it. He believes that he has been saved by god and that he is alive to do God's bidding. Nathan is soon visited by the "[[Telepathy|ghost]]" of [[Linderman]] and is offered the position of Senator by [[Tracy Strauss]]. After some words with Peter, Nathan decides to take up the Senate seat with Tracy at his side. When Tracy resigns, Linderman informs Nathan that it is his destiny to help her. Nathan [[flies]] to catch Tracy seconds before she commits [[suicide]]. The two spend the night together and Nathan learns that his [[abilities]] may not be god given. |
|||
He and Tracy go to [[Angela]] and learn about his abilities being [[synthetic]]. He also learns [[Peter]] [[Empathic mimicry|absorbed]] [[Intuitive aptitude|Sylar's power]] and is dangerous. He takes Tracy to visit [[Mohinder]], who drugs them and tries to experiment on them. Tracy uses [[Freezing|her power]] to save Nathan and after Mohinder escapes, the two are visited by [[Noah]] and [[Meredith]]. Nathan and Tracy learn that [[Arthur Petrelli]] is alive and go to visit him. After the meeting, Nathan decides that Arthur must be stopped and goes to [[Primatech]] to help his family. He and Peter go to [[Haiti]] to find [[The Haitian]] but after his powers [[Eclipse|disappear]], Nathan is kidnapped by [[Baron Samedi]]. Upon seeing what one person with powers could do, Nathan joins Pinehearst and becomes their leader. Along with Tracy and Mohinder, Nathan gives the marine [[Scott]] a [[Enhanced strength|synthetic ability]]. When Peter, [[Knox]] and [[Flint]] try to bring down Pinehearst, Nathan and Peter are caught in Flint's fire. Peter injects himself with [[the formula]] and saves Nathan. |
|||
Two months later, Nathan begins a movement to capture [[evolved humans]]. When [[Claire]] is mistakingly caught, Nathan gives her a free pass, much to [[Danko]]'s disapproval. [[Flight 195]] goes down and Nathan assists his men at the crash site. When Claire is captured, Nathan and Noah protect her from Danko's wrath and Nathan once again sends his daughter home. [[Abby Collins]] soon inspects Nathan's base of operations, [[Building 26]], and attempts to shut it down. Her decision is changed when Tracy kills an [[Mark Leggett|analyst]] to try and escape. Seeing how their targets are dangerous, Danko tries to push for lethal force but Nathan continuously refuses to allow it, even after Peter and [[Matt]] try to shut them down. Realizing that something is different about Nathan, Danko manages to get him to reveal his power. |
|||
[[Image:Nathan_is_killed.JPG|thumb|right|Nathan [[Telekinesis|falls]] by [[Sylar]]'s hand.]] |
|||
Now a target of his own operation, Nathan flies Claire to [[Mexico]] in an attempt to protect her and connect with her. He fails in both attempts and reveals to Claire how much he was afraid of her hating him. Nathan and his daughter finally connect and the two fly to the [[Coyote Sands]] to help Angela. Nathan tries to mend his broken relationship with Peter, who is not willing to accept his apology. Peter eventually does forgive Nathan and the Petrelli family discover that Sylar has [[Shape shifting|taken Nathan's form]]. Nathan rushes to DC to stop the killer but is captured and held captive by Sylar. Sylar tortures Nathan and uses his [[clairsentience]] to learn all about his life. After escaping, Nathan and Peter fight Sylar in a devastating battle. Nathan ends it by flying away with Sylar to try and protect Peter. Upon landing in his suite, Nathan is killed by Sylar. His body is found by Angela and Matt, who go on to use Matt's power to make Sylar believe he is Nathan, body and soul. |
|||
===[[Episode:Acceptance|Acceptance]]=== |
|||
[[Sylar]] manages to access his [[clairsentience]], learning that when he was younger, Nathan had a night out with [[Kelly Houston]]. On the night, Kelly and Nathan got [[alcohol|drunk]] and while they were playing around the pool, Kelly fell in and hit her head, dying. In order to protect Nathan, [[Angela]] had [[the Haitian]] [[Mental manipulation|erase his memories]]. |
|||
===[[Episode:Hysterical Blindness|Hysterical Blindness]]=== |
|||
[[Peter]] invites both [[Angela]] and Nathan over for lunch but only Angela makes it. She tells Peter that Nathan may show up eventually and Peter tells her that he is worried about him. When Peter leaves for work, Angela decides to stay, just in case Nathan shows up. |
|||
===[[Episode:Tabula Rasa|Tabula Rasa]]=== |
|||
[[Sylar]] tells [[Samuel]] to call him "Nathan". Sylar then remembers Nathan's memories, including shaking hands as a politician, and flying airplanes in the military. |
|||
===[[Episode:Shadowboxing|Shadowboxing]]=== |
|||
While sleeping, [[Sylar]] has flashbacks of killing Nathan at the [[Stanton Hotel]]. When he wakes up, he was unwittingly [[shape shift]]ed into Nathan's form. |
|||
==[[Evolved Human]] [[Flight|Abilities]]== |
|||
Nathan had the [[ability]] to [[Flight|fly]]. It is currently unknown how he propelled himself or what speeds or altitudes he was capable of achieving, but judging by the sound of his flight when escaping from [[Mr. Bennet]] and [[The Haitian]] (''[[Hiros]]''), he was probably supersonic. His power, according to [[Angela Petrelli]], was synthetic, and created by the same [[formula]] that gave abilities to [[Niki]], [[Tracy]], and [[Barbara]] (''[[Angels and Monsters]]''). He was capable of carrying people with him over long distances as shown when he flew with Peter to Haiti, Matt to Philadelphia and Texas, and Claire to Mexico. |
|||
=={{MQ}}== |
|||
"''Most of what we are is what people expect us to be. I mean, if you take them away, nothing means anything.''" |
|||
:- Nathan (to [[Peter]]) (''[[.07%]]'') |
|||
"''Our father always said that we had a responsibility: to use what God gave us, to help people, to make a real difference. Pap always made the hard choices for the greater good; he believed in that. And so do I. Our children deserve that. They deserve a better future, a future where they do not have to face their fears alone, but can look into the darkness and find hope. I challenge everyone inhere to inspire by example, to fight the battle, no matter the cost. Because the world is sick, it's spinning out of control. But we can help. With our help it can heal. With our love, with our compassion and with our strength we can heal. Let's put aside our differences, let's embrace our common goals. Let's do it for our children. Let's show them all exactly what we are capable of.''" |
|||
:- Nathan, electoral speech (''[[Landslide]]'') |
|||
"''[[Peter Petrelli|You]] saved [[Claire Bennet|the cheerleader]], so we could save the world.''" |
|||
:- Nathan, to [[Peter]] (''[[How to Stop an Exploding Man]]'') |
|||
"''God is the only one with the message. It's a message of hope and urgency, because he's not gonna wait much longer. His message is a simple one -- We're all connected. Our hopes, our dreams, our children's future, reflecting back in each others eyes. We fight our own personal battles, but we know we're not alone. Because only together can we make our short time on this planet mean something. Only together can we be the stewards of our own destiny. And we hold in our collective hearts one noble goal -- Save ourselves, save the world.''" |
|||
: - Nathan, referring to the ''"Spiritus Mundi"'' in Yeat's [[Wikipedia:The_Second_Coming_(poem)|poem]] (''[[The Second Coming]]'') |
|||
"''Sooner or later, you're gonna have to choose a side.''" |
|||
:- Nathan (to [[Peter]]) (''[[Dual]]'') |
|||
"''I love you Pete, you know that.''" |
|||
"''I love you too.''" |
|||
:- Nathan, Peter (''[[An Invisible Thread]]'') |
|||
==Notes== |
|||
* An ad for [[Nathan's campaign]] airs on the television in [[Isaac]]'s [[Isaac's apartment|loft]]. It states that Nathan "served his country" in Bosnia, Serbia, and Rwanda (''[[Genesis]]''). [[votepetrelli.com]] further notes that these tours of duty were as a pilot in the US Navy. This could possibly be a reference to [[Adrian Pasdar]]'s character "Chipper" in 1986's ''Top Gun''. |
|||
* According to ''[[Episode:Don't Look Back|Don't Look Back]]'', Nathan was running to represent [[wikipedia:New York's 14th congressional district|New York's 14th congressional district]] (an actual district in New York City). However, [[votepetrelli.com]] says Nathan was running in the [[wikipedia:New York's 30th congressional district|30th district]] (an obsolete seat since 2000). The site votepetrelli.com was then changed again stating that he was stepping down as the Junior Senator from New York, a position that he was never elected for. |
|||
* In reality, the New York's 14th congressional district is held by Carolyn B. Maloney. |
|||
* According to [http://votepetrelli.com votepetrelli.com], Nathan served under the district attorney as a prosecutor. |
|||
* Nathan tells Peter that his power will only be useful for rescuing cats from trees (''[[Nothing to Hide]]''). Of course, he's already put it to better use by rescuing [[Sheila|a woman]] from a burning building (''[[Graphic Novel:Trial By Fire|Trial by Fire]]''). |
|||
* Nathan took his first steps sometime before November 8, 1968 (''[[War Buddies, Part 2]]''). Children usually take their first steps around their first birthday, so Nathan would have been at least a year old at this time. Though his exact age is unknown, this would mean that as of the election on November 7, 2006, Nathan was roughly 39 years old. |
|||
* Nathan is on [[the list]]. |
|||
* Nathan can speak both French (''[[The Eclipse, Part 1]]'') and Spanish (''[[Into Asylum]]''). |
|||
* In a [[Timeline:Possible Futures|possible future timeline]], Nathan blamed [[Sylar]] for [[the explosion]] to protect [[Peter]]. Nathan subsequently became President, and was murdered by [[Sylar (future)|Sylar]], who used [[Candice Willmer]]'s [[illusion|power]] to impersonate him. (''[[Five Years Gone]]'') |
|||
* In a deleted scene in ''[[Genesis]]'', Nathan prosecutes [[D.L. Hawkins]]'s case and wins, continuing a winning streak Nathan appears to have been enjoying. |
|||
* In another [[Timeline:Possible Futures|possible future timeline]], Nathan dies in the first outbreak of the [[Shanti virus]]. (''[[Out of Time]]'') |
|||
* In reality, the current Junior Senator from New York is [[wikipedia:Kirsten Gillibrand|Kirsten Gillibrand]]. |
|||
* According to Angela, Nathan's ability is the result of receiving the [[formula]] rather than a naturally [[Ability heredity|inherited ability]]. (''[[Angels and Monsters]]'') It is unknown exactly when Nathan was injected. However, it is hinted in ''[[Truths]]'' that Nathan was injected in his early or mid-20s since Peter (who would have been around his preteen years to acquire a hunting license) had been present during the hunting trip preceding the injection. |
|||
* Nathan died in [[An Invisible Thread]]. His last words, which were to Peter, was "I love you Pete, you know that." |
|||
* When [[Sylar]] uses [[clairsentience]] on Nathan's cufflinks, he says that Nathan supposedly graduated "with honors" from Annapolis, but he knows better. |
|||
* Nathan witnessed [[Kelly Houston]]'s death, but Angela covered it up and had [[the Haitian]] erase his memories so he, like everyone else, believed that Kelly simply ran away. Sylar learned this thanks to his [[clairsentience|ability to see the history of objects]]. |
|||
==Trivia== |
|||
* In an [[interview (Jason La Padura)|interview]], [[Jason La Padura]] said that [[Peter]] and Nathan were originally written to be twins. |
|||
* In the [http://www.kilohoku.com/temp/heroes/heroes-1X00-pilot.pdf script] for the [[unaired pilot]], Nathan's name was originally "Harrison Cambell" and he was 34 years old. |
|||
* According to Peter, Nathan was the "top of his class, valedictorian". |
|||
* [[Sylar]] and Nathan never met face to face or even shared a scene in the first 57 episodes of this series, even though Nathan knows him and knows how to kill him. {{epp|314}}. However, Sylar would have met Nathan in the [[explosion future]], when he killed him, and [[Zachary Quinto]] and [[Adrian Pasdar]] would have filmed scenes set in that future together. |
|||
* [[Sylar]] and Nathan finally meet face to face in [[I Am Sylar]]. Sylar takes on Nathan's identity to get close to the President and tries to kill Nathan to get his power but is stopped by Danko. After Sylar kills Nathan, [[Matt]] uses his [[telepathy]] to force Sylar into thinking that he is Nathan. Sylar's [[Shape shifting|Shape Shifting]] changes his appearance into Nathan's, and his [[Clairsentience]] replaces Sylar's memories with Nathan's. |
|||
* Nathan has faced death at the end of every volume. In [[Volume One|Genesis]], he flies away with Peter before he explodes. In [[Generations]], he is shot twice in the chest. In [[Volume Three|Villains]], he is saved by Peter as [[Pinehearst]] explodes. In [[Fugitives]], his throat is slit by Sylar. While Nathan finally died at the end of the fourth volume, it remains possible that Sylar, who is now Nathan, may encounter the same scenario in the future. |
|||
* Nathan is right-handed (''[[An Invisible Thread]]'') |
