Finally, a realistic arc for a character like Nate. I don't know how many times I've watched shows and movies where an insecure, bullied person suddenly gains a better position or new power and he becomes a benevolent force helping everyone around him.
People don't work like that in real life. People become like Nate. If you've been stepped on all your life, the moment you get power you want to step on people too. You want to release all your pent up shame and feeling of worthlessness. And then maybe, if you work on it, you can return to balance, and become whole. That's why I love this character. Although he makes me cringe, or angry, his arc is so interesting and I'm really curious for his development.
