- Marie (Deceased)

- Karl (Deceased)
Nathan's best friend among the Adventuers, as well as his partner in crime. They were both involved in illegal activities as Adventurers and planned to steal from 'Rio' alongside a few others. Karl and the others died, leaving Nathan as the only survivor. This gives Nathan a lot of guilt and trauma.

However, in the Vanishing Dungeon, after encountering a Dragon, Nathan abandons his initial promise to them and flees, leaving all of them to die. Their death weigh heavily on him.
- Rio
Rio was Nathan's benefactor, who saved him when he was about to die alongside his fiance, Marie, when faced against a group of Minotaurs. He repays Rio's kind act by stealing his Blade Of Rupture, a powerful Relic, and schemes to rob him of more.
This attempt fails, causing the death of everyone in the group, except Nathan. He avoids Rio after that moment.
However, with the conclusion of the Vanishing Dungeon event, which painted Rio to be the hero, Nathan suspects that Rio is truly an antagonist, the one behind all the misfortunes that occured. He plans on becoming stronger and putting an end to Rio once and for all.

INTRODUCTION
Nathan is an Ex-Adventurer, one with a lot of skill and experience in fighting, among other things. He is also a skilled criminal and swindler, capable of orchestrating various schemes and pulling many robberies, earning for himself the name of 'Sucide Plunderer'.
However, everything went sideways the moment he met Rio. After stealing his Relic, he intended on stealing more with his crew, but they all ended up dying, with him being the only survivor.
He moved on from that and decided to be better, entering the Vanishing Dungeon with a new set of Party members. Once again, he loses his comrades and escapes alone.
He planned on marrying a woman he loved, Marie, who was unfortunately killed in the aftermath of the Vanishing Dungeon effect. Pinpointing everything to Rio, Nathan plans on growing stronger to kill his enemy.
PERSONALITY
Nathan appears very level-headed and calm. He excels in analysis and strategy, having various knowledge on many monsters.
However, deep within him he is also extremely selfish and cowardly, able to abandon anything to save himself when it most counts.
Realizing this, Nathan attempts to change this fatal flaw of his and tries to be better.
He blames himself for many of his misfortune, but also finds a way to pin everything on an external cause to escape his inner turmoil.
POWERS AND ABILITIES
- Blade Of Rupture
His most notable offensive attribute is his Relic, Blade Of Rupture, which he stole from Hexarion. This weapon is shaped like a Katana and has the ability to generate invisible strikes which rend it's target in clean slices. It also possesses energy manipulation and conversion, able to strengthen the user and caude distortions in space, somehow bypassing durability.
After the destruction of Nathan's previous Blade, Hexarion replaces it with a new and improved one, though Nathan believes the weapon rebuilt itself. Nathan has high trust in this Relic.
The new blade has several new features, one of which is instantly slicing in multiple areas at once by invisible or intense energy.
Knowledge
Nathan is highly knowledgeable about Relics, Monsters, and Dungeons as a result of his experience as an adventurer and a criminal. He is capable of distinguishing several monsters and estimate their level of strength accordingly.
He is also very perceptive, able to learn and understand things quickly.
- Brilliant Strategist
Nathan is extremely cunning and smart, able to carry out a plan flawlessly. This allows him to remain a criminal without ever being caught in Lamar.
He is also very adept at formation and analysis, able to read the tides of battle and turn them in his favor.
- Combat Prowess
Nathan is highly skilled in combat. While he is very reliant on his major offensive Relic, The Blade Of Rupture, he still has several others which he uses to fight. Also, his strategies and knowledge on monsters play an effective role on his battles.
WEAKNESSES
- Overestimation
Nathan usually downplays the strength of his opponents due to the power he possesses with the Blade Of Rupture. He has so much faith in this Relic, that he believes he has the chance to defeat any opponent with the right amount of motivation. He also considers the Blade as a Miracle Relic, capable to f always protecting him, and attributes the reason he is still alive to the blade.
- Human Physique
Nathan is only human, possessing a very frail body. He is unable to exert himself beyond his limits, and can get exhausted after fighting for some time.
He is highly vulnerable to most things affecting humans e.g. Sickness, death, emotional breakdown.
- Timidity/Cowardice
In the face of a stronger opponent, Nathan always crumbles. He abandons his ideals and struggles to save his life.
