Nate

Nathaniel "Nate" Howard is a pre-War resident of Sanctuary Hills in 2077 and one of the two possible player characters available during character creation in Fallout 4.

Background
At some point before 2077, Nate served in the army during the Sino-American War. During the war, he married Nora and after their son, Shaun was born, he retired. On the morning of October 23rd, 2077, Nate was preparing for an event at the veteran's hall when a Vault-Tec representative approached the family and approved them for admittance into Vault 111. Mere moments later, a news bulletin warned of an imminent nuclear attack, forcing Nate, Nora, and Shaun to rush to the Vault, where they're temporarily trapped outside when a nuke detonates nearby. Luckily, the platform below them was lowered just in time, and the whole Howard family along with all of the other residents were placed in Cryo sleep. If he was not chosen to be the player character, he was executed by two mysterious figures as they took Shaun away.

Appearances
Nate appears only in Fallout 4.
