Nathan was a member of the tail section survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. He was suspected by Ana Lucia of being one of the Others, due to his secretive behavior (which was probably simply due to his personailty), and was killed when his neck was broken by the Other named Goodwin.

Before the crash

Nathan claimed he was in the tail section of the airplane at the time of the crash. Little is known about his life before boarding the plane, except that he stated he was on a company retreat in Australia and stayed behind to 'sightsee', and claimed to be from Canada, like Ethan. ("The Other 48 Days")

On the Island

Nathan was not seen after the crash until nightfall (Day 1) after Eko was attacked by The Others. Nathan was one of the Tail Section survivors who, along with Cindy, wanted to stay on the beach, for he believed it was safer than venturing into the jungle. ("The Other 48 Days")

Ana Lucia began to grow suspicious of Nathan and thought that he was someone already on the Island, because of his lengthy trips into the jungle, supposedly to take a bathroom break. He also seemed rebellious to Ana Lucia, the self-elected leader of the tailies. None of the other tailies argued with Ana Lucia, probably because they were also suspicious of Nathan. Ana Lucia's suspicion that Nathan was an one of 'them' led her to throw him into the pit. ("The Other 48 Days")

After Ana Lucia promised to begin cutting Nathan's fingers off the next day, Goodwin freed Nathan and then killed him by breaking his neck. He hid the body in the jungle. Goodwin later defended his actions by claiming Nathan was "not a good person". ("The Other 48 Days")
