- Nathan's first line in Prologue.

Nathan is the main antagonist of the wattpad book series: Love Is War. He is the arch-rival of Logan Maddicks and a manipulative, badass psychopath who will do anything to get his way. He originally was a simple villain, just wanting to date Lilly, but after Logan barely escaped being killed, he turned into a total psycho, taking control of the jocks, and Paramvir Singh.

Prologue
Nathan's first apperance is when Logan is walking to the park to meet with his friend, Kolton, where he, Harshvir and Paramvir cut him off with their van and Nathan has a short monologue before he knocks out Logan. He brings him to the warehouse which he has rented out as his base of operations. He straps Logan to a chair, and tortures him in means of waterboarding to make sure he won't talk to Lilly anymore. Even after Logan says he won't, Harshvir does not believe this so Nathan decides to send him to the cliffside which he will throw Logan off of it. He has Paramvir stay back as he and Harshvir drive Logan over to the cliff.

He stops the van and Harshvir goes to admire the view. He opens the van and sees Logan who lunges at him with a screwdriver, and the two fight briefly, which Nathan comes out victourious, barely. He and Harshvir have Logan lying there, thinking he's dead. Harshvir goes to throw the body off the cliff but then sees that the body is missing, and the two quickly drive back to the warehouse to meet up with Paramvir. Their next plan is to meet with Lilly at the party, and once Paramvir brings up Logan being dead, Nathan gets angry at him but Harshvir defends his brother, threatening that he and Paramvir won't attennd the party if Nathan keeps this up. This shuts Nathan up and the three get back in the van and drive to the party.
