Nathan Petrelli é um político que atualmente corre para a eleição para o Congresso dos deputados dos E.U.A. Ele mora em Hyde Park, New York, com sua esposa e dois filhos. Ele descobriu que tem a habilidade de voar.

Sobre

Ele dá muita importância a sua campanha de eleição, frequentemente quase como a família. Ele disfarça os sonhos de seu seu irmão e suas tentativas de voar como em uma tentativa de suicídio. Também falou para sua mãe para "esquecer" a morte recente de seu marido. Nathan tenta pelas decisões de seu comitê de eleição afastar sua esposa recentemente acidentada, da mídia para não parecer "fraco".

Nathan despreza a existência de seu poder de vôo, apesar de ter usado diversas vezes, intencionalmente ou involuntariamente.

História do Personagem

Genesis

Nathan é procurado por seu irmão Peter, que conta a ele que ele vem tendo estranhos sonhos e acredita que pode voar. Não convencendo Nathan. Eventualmente, a conversa deles é interrompida pelo notícia de que sua mãe viúva foi recentemente presa por roubo. Nathan, ainda concentrado com sua candidatura, não dá nenhuma folga a sua mãe e a deixa na delegacia de polícia com Peter. Mais tarde, Nathan assiste da calçada o pulo de seu irmão de um prédio na tentativa de voar. Como Peter falha, Nathan voa no ar e pega sua mão, surpreendendo eles dois.

Don't Look Back

Peter acorda para achar Nathan ao seu lado no hospital. Estranhamente, Nathan nega ter voado e tenta explicar tudo como se fosse uma simples tentativa de suicídio de Peter. Mais tarde naquela noite, Nathan está em um terraço enquanto Peter ameaça se jogar a não ser que seu irmão admita que voou. Nathan, admite, pois, que voou. Peter teme que Nathan esteja mentindo, mas logo os dois descobrem a verdade quando Peter começa a caminhar, sem perceber, em pleno ar.

Hiro Nakamura, uma personagem que consegue manipular o tempo e o espaço, viaja a um futuro hipotético a cinco semanas dos acontecimentos do episódio. Neste futuro, Nathan havia ganho as eleições.

One Giant Leap

Ao ser abordado por Peter sobre o livro de Chandra Suresh, Nathan contia mais centrado em sua campanha e diz que tem uma família para cuidar. Naquela noite, Nathan , em uma conferência, aborda o assunto da depressão. Ela revela que seu pai sofreu da doença, e que foi a causa de sua morte. Ele também declara que Peter tentou cometer suicídio, fazendo Peter deixar a conferência. Mais tarde no estacionamento, Nathan leva um soco por um Peter furioso antes que este seja contido por vários seguranças. Mesmo sendo chamado de FDP por Peter, Nathan retruca calmamente: "Cuidado Pete. É da nossa mãe que você está falando". Nathan diz que precisava fazer aquilo antes que a imprensa começasse a inventar seus próprios fatos. Nathan diz que seu irmão tem que entender o porquê ele teve que contar aquilo a todos, mas Peter simplesmente vai embora.

Trial By Fire

Nathan, ainda frustrado com seu irmão, acaba em um prédio em chamas. Ele usa seu poder para voar e resgatar uma garota presa. Nathan imagina, brincando, como seu irmão ficaria com ciúmes dele.

Collision

Nathan está sendo "perseguido" por Mohinder, mas se recusa a falar com ele. O político se prepara para ir a Las Vegas encontrar Mr. Linderman. Lá, Nathan encontra Niki Sanders que deve durmir com ele por ordens do Mr. Linderman. Ela recusa a princípio, por respeito à mulher e aos filhos de Natah, mas, quando seu alter-ego domina, ela volta ao quarto de Nathan e dorme com ele. Mais tarde, eles estão durmindo e Mr. Bennet e o Haitiano estão os vendo. Mr. Bennet manda este levar apenas o homem.

Hiros

Nathan foi capturado por Mr. Bennet e The Haitian. Quando celular de Bennet toca, Nathan consegue escapar, mas fica sem saída quando os dois o rondeiam. Quando os homens se aproximas e apontam uma arma para ele, Nathan voa, causando um barulho sônico e voa para longe em uma alta velocidade.

Aterrisando no deserto perto da lanchonete Fly By Night Diner (e machucando seus pés com a velocidade de aterrisagem nas pedras), Nathan entra na lanchonete usando apenas suas calças de pijama. Ele pede um celular emprestado e uma camisa. Enquanto espera seus ajudantes o pegarem, Hiro se aproxima de Nathan e diz que o viu voar, e que, ele, também é especial. Nathan não acredita muito em Hiro, quando o japonês lhe diz sobre a explosão que presenciou em Nova Iorque, no futuro. Antes de sair, ele pergunta a Hiro se ele sabe algo sobre a eleição, e Hiro diz que Nathan ganhou em uma vitória esmagadora.

Voltando ao cassino, Nathan "topa" com Niki, que diz não se lembrar sobre a noite anterior e lhe diz que a coisa toda foi uma armação para que Mr. Linderman pudesse chantagear Nathan do mesmo jeito que ela foi chantageada.

Assim que Nathan sai do hotel, Miss Sakamoto, a gerente do hotel, o para. Ele lhe diz que sabe sobre a chantagem e ela lhe assegura que é uma dívida que ele pode pagar mais tarde. Nathan sugere que ela lhe dê 4 milhões de dólares que ele veio pegar, mesmo que Lindermand tenha prometido apenas dois milhões. Nathan diz que é importante para Lindermand tê-lo em suas mãos, então é muito importante que Nathan vença as eleições, e ele diz que quatro milhões irão fazer com que ele ganhe.

Nothing to Hide

Nathan mostra á sua mãe Angela e à esposa Heidi, alguns postais promocionais para obter a opnião das duas. Elas têm outros planos, no entanto: elas convencêm-o a fazer um café em familia para os convidados Oliver Dennison, o reporter do jornal New York Journal. They're hoping that Heidi's disability can be used to garner sympathy and soften Nathan's harsh image.

Everything seems to be going fine at the brunch until Peter shows up unexpectedly and uninvited. Nathan pulls him aside and he asks Nathan for help locating the missing painting, which Simone told him was purchased by Mr. Linderman. When Nathan turns him down, he threatens to fly off the terrace, but instead joins the brunch and begins charming Mr. Dennison.

Dennison attempts to turn the conversation to Nathan's ties to Linderman, and mentions that a former member of Nathan's security detail told him Nathan disappeared in Las Vegas and was seen with a blonde. Thinking quickly, Peter tells him that Nathan was meeting with a depression expert on Peter's behalf.

Nathan receives a call from Niki, who tells him her husband has taken her son, but he refuses to help. Heidi confronts Nathan and asks him to assure her that Peter's story about the blonde was true, telling him she needs hope if she is to walk again. He reassures her.

Nathan calls Mr. Linderman and attempts to obtain the painting. He's told it will be sent directly to the gallery.

Nathan visits Peter, who attempts to convince him to tell Heidi the truth about Niki, but Nathan claims Heidi needs hope more than she needs the truth. He also tells Peter that he was unable to get the painting from Linderman. Nathan explains several of his questionable actions to Peter. He says he slept with Niki because he wanted to be with a woman who didn't make him feel guilty just by looking at her (he was driving during the accident that paralyzed his wife). Nathan also explains his decision to hide his flying powers: he believes that there's nothing worthwhile to be accomplished with it and he fears that once it's discovered, the world will want to put him in a cage for it. He leaves Peter with that caution.

Homecoming

In New York City, Nathan opens up the painting that he asked Mr. Linderman to ship to the gallery. Simone tells Nathan that Peter believes Isaac can paint the future. Examining the painting, he asks if the figure in it is supposed to be Peter, but Simone doesn't know. Simone tells him that Peter believes that he needs to be there to save the cheerleader and that if he does he'll save the world. Nathan's clearly not convinced and asks Simone if it's the only copy, and Simone tells him it is. Nathan tells Simone that Peter has deluded himself into believing that he's supposed to make a difference. Nathan pours a bucket of paint over the painting. Simone protests, but is unable to stop him. Nathan tells her he's saving Peter's life.

Six Months Ago

Nathan flies for the first time.

At Peter's graduation, Nathan and Peter discuss Nathan's plans to prosecute Mr. Linderman. This will affect their father since Mr. Linderman is his biggest client. Nathan thinks that by prosecuting Linderman they can "take the stink off the family," but Peter thinks Nathan would never forgive himself. Heidi interrupts to dance with Nathan. At the same time, Chandra Suresh posts a picture of Nathan on the map.

Nathan and Heidi are driving down a deserted highway in their convertible. They are discussing how Nathan was his father's favorite child, when a large S.U.V. tries to run them off the road. Nathan finds himself hovering above the car, while Heidi and the unmanned car crash into water barrels. As Nathan screams for her, he falls to the ground. At the hospital, Nathan tells Peter he was thrown 300 feet away from the wreck and doesn't know how he got there. Heidi is in surgery for over ten hours. Peter knows there was another car involved, and Nathan admits that it was Linderman's guys. Nathan gets Peter to agree to give a deposition. Later at Peter's apartment, Nathan tells Peter that there will be no deposition since their father has died.

Fallout

When Nathan visits Peter in jail, Peter reveals the details of what happened with Claire during Homecoming. Nathan continues to disbelieve Peter's "wild theories". Peter then sees Sylar talking to him, instead of Nathan, and wakes up. Later on, Nathan bails Peter out of jail. On their way out, Peter is unable to walk straight. He collapses and sees himself exploding in the city, as depicted in once of Isaac's paintings. When Peter regains consciousness, he tells Nathan, "The bomb, in the city...it's me." Peter then passes out.

Graphic Novel:Super-Heroics

Nathan visits Peter in the hospital and watches vigil over him.

Godsend

Nathan is watching over Peter, who has been in a hospital since his collapse. When Simone arrives to visit, Nathan chastises her for showing Peter the "Homecoming" painting, telling her that she knew he would go to Texas if he saw it. Nathan says that he shouldn't have been there, but Simone says that it was important to him. Nathan tells Simone that he wants to meet the painter.

At Isaac's apartment, Nathan questions Isaac about his paintings, asking how he knows what to paint, but Isaac can only answer that he paints what he sees. Nathan tells him that Peter believes he's the cause of the explosion, but Nathan doesn’t because "the world doesn't work like this." Just then, Hiro and Ando walk into the apartment. Hiro tells Isaac that the sword that was at the museum was just a replica and that the real one is owned by Linderman, a name Nathan recognizes. Hiro recognizes Nathan as "Flying man!"

Hiro tells Nathan about the explosion he witnessed in the future, saying that his powers brought him back so that he could stop it. He says Nathan will help, too, but Nathan isn't so sure. Nathan asks what he thinks causes the explosion, and Hiro suspects some villain. Nathan and Hiro look at the Exploding Man painting. Nathan asks Hiro whether he believes a human being could actually cause an explosion. Hiro remarks that they both have powers so maybe the exploding man has powers, too.

Later, Nathan returns to the hospital to discover Peter has awakened and left. He tells his mother to go home and that he'll find Peter.

The Fix

Nathan goes to Mohinder's apartment and asks if he can explain what's happening to Peter. Mohinder says that Peter's abilities allow him to absorb powers from others around him like a sponge, and that it could be dangerous for Peter to absorb an unstable ability. Nathan asks if it's possible to "fix" his brother and Mohinder suggests that if Peter can be found, a study of him would not only result in help for himself, but aid for all evolved humans.

Nathan and Mohinder go to Peter's apartment and catch him packing to leave town. They ask him to stay and let them help, but he says that there's no time. Nathan says that, if necessary, he can have Peter "detained for his own safety." Peter drops his bag and flees the apartment, disappearing in the hall.

Distractions

Nathan recebe uma ligação de Meredith, que diz que sua filha, Claire, está viva.

Run!

Nathan receives a phone call from Meredith, who tells him that their daughter, Claire, is alive. Nathan tells Meredith that he went to her funeral. Meredith tells Nathan about Claire, mentioning that she is smart like him and that she might one day run for Congress. Nathan comments that Meredith's phone call is ill-timed with the election nearing. Nathan offers Meredith $100,000 for her silence and she accepts it. In his office Nathan and his mother discuss Meredith and Claire. Nathan plans to fly to Texas to take care of the situation, against his mother's counsel.

Nathan's car drops him off in front of Meredith's trailer. They share an awkward silence outside before she and Nathan sit down to talk. Nathan apologizes for what happened in the past. Meredith agrees that they never would have worked out, they came from two different worlds. Nathan gives Meredith the money, hoping that it will make up for what he didn't do for her and Claire. Nathan asks about Claire and decides not to see her. As Nathan's car is pulling away from the trailer a rock cracks the rear window. Nathan, visibly upset, tells the driver its just kids and they leave.

Unexpected

Nathan receives a visit from Simone at his office. Simone asks if Nathan has heard from Peter. Nathan tells her that when he last saw Peter he flew out a window to get away from him. Nathan tells her he has people looking for Peter around the clock and that they will find him. When Simone suggests they go public about their abilities Nathan refuses. Nathan says that if it were up to him he'd round up anyone with special abilities and put them in a lab on an island. As she leaves, Nathan warns Simone not to go public with what she knows.

Parasite

Nathan receives a surprise visit from two FBI agents at his office. They begin questioning him about Mr. Linderman's contributions to his campaign. After they are sure the room is clear Nathan tells them they were never to meet face-to-face. The agents tell him they know Mr. Linderman is meeting with Nathan in Las Vegas and they want him to wear a wire to the meeting. When the agents leave Nathan turns around to find Peter standing by his desk. Peter asks Nathan how long he has been working with the FBI--since the night of the accident. Nathan notices the blood on Peter's face and learns that Isaac shot and killed Simone. Nathan asks Peter if the police are involved yet. He is relieved that no one knows yet and tells Peter they will make an anonymous phone call. They are interrupted by a member of Nathan's staff and when Nathan turns back around, Peter has disappeared.

Nathan arrives at Linderman's casino and meets Hiro. They discuss how difficult it is to take care of the people they care about. Nathan tells Hiro that when he first met him he thought he was nuts, Hiro says he thought Nathan was mean. Nathan understands Hiro's need to regain his powers and offers to help him get past the security staff. Nathan takes Hiro upstairs and tells security that Hiro is making a delivery for Mr. Linderman.

Nathan lets the FBI agents know through his hidden microphone that he will wait for the meeting with Mr. Linderman in his hotel room. When he arrives Niki confronts him and rips out the wire. She says that Jessica could come back anytime to kill him. She warns him that Mr. Linderman knows about the wire, and that the FBI agents have been killed. She says Mr. Linderman will offer him a deal and he has to take the deal or run. Nathan chooses a third option: kill Linderman. Niki says that if he is going to do so, he should knock her out first. When he asks her why, Niki explains that it is to show Jessica that she is not in control. He then knocks her out and takes her gun.

Nathan, having expected to pay a visit to Mr. Linderman's office, is instead escorted by security to the casino kitchen. Mr. Linderman asks Nathan if he is happy and Nathan says not especially. They talk about having a life of happiness or a life of meaning and Nathan says he would like to have both. Mr. Linderman tells him it is impossible to have both, for the two things are too different to co-exist. Nathan, having had enough, draws the gun. Mr. Linderman dryly tells him he can't have any of his pot pie. Mr. Linderman then tells Nathan that he knows Nathan can fly and that he knows about Peter. He also knows about Nathan's daughter and the other evolved humans. He offers Nathan a "life of meaning": a win in his election bid and a future in the White House. After thinking about it, Nathan lowers the gun.

Poderes

Nathan tem habilidade de voar. É atualmente desconhecido com ele se impulsiona ou qual velocidade ou qual altitude ele é capaz de arquivar, mas jugando pelo som de seu vôo quando ele escapa de Mr. Bennet e O Haitiano, ele é bem rápido, provavelmente supersônico.
