Nathan Rourke

Nathaniel Everett Rourke is a young Policy of HartLife. He is the son of Elizabeth Rourke. He spends a lot of time at Al's Bar. Due to failing the Identity Variance test, he is unable to get the job he wants, and so he is bitter and unemployed. This results in some less official, more dangerous self-employment. Nathan is voiced by Clayton Faits.

Season One
Season One begins with Nathan outside in the Frozen Wastes with a broken leg. Jack brings him back inside the tunnels and does a bit of rough doctoring on his leg. Nathan has to face his mother when he returns home, attempting to hide his questionable activities and associations from her. Later, he gets in an argument with Neal Henderson on the PeopleMover. The two enter into a sort of partnership, because Neal has the containment tube that Nathan was involved in stealing (his specific role is not specified). He quickly tells Neal that he should sell the tube to Dr. Caligari. When they go to meet Caligari about the tube, they must tell her that Alison has it. They then go looking for Alison. Nathan frequently argues with Neal; although they're both dealing with the tube, Neal is more concerned with keeping Alison safe, and Nathan just want to get the tube to Caligari. Nathan goes with Neal to the StreetSafe office to look at the security footage and find Alison. But instead of the footage, they discover Chamberlain. Nathan is taken away to Data Extraction to be interrogated about the tube and Caligari.

Season Three
Instead of being tortured, Nathan appears to be in a relationship with Erin Davenport. When Chamberlain shows up at Erin's place of work, he and Chamberlain exchange tense words. Later, when Erin is talking to her father over the intercom, Davenport makes Nathan come to his office. There he beats Nathan up and asks him why he shouldn't kill him. Nathan says he can help make Erin accept Lorraine, the woman Davenport left Erin's mother for, as he has experience with a parent seeing someone new. Davenport eventually offers him the deal to help with Erin and do errands for him. Otherwise Nathan will be killed.

Nathan's first errand is to meet a Lightning Rigger and find out what he's always doing up so early. Nathan makes friendly conversation with him and tells him he's a member of the Science Academy. The Rigger eventually tells him about his project, a device that be used to predict the weather and storms, since he figures that Nathan, as a science guy, would appreciate it. Afterwards Nathan tells Davenport about it and also tells him which way the Rigger went, as Davenport claims to want to send him a thank you gift. Back at home, Nathan tries to tell Davenport what a nice guy Tommy was, but Davenport informs him that he died in a tunnel collapse shortly after their meeting.

Nathan's next errand is to get Ol' Silty to empty a sack of Mold food at the end of Old Tunnel. After first mistaking Clay for Ol' Silty, he eventually manages to give him his assignment. As Ol' Silty leaves the Dr. Montgomery Moro Memorial Museum and Historical House, Nathan tells Dr. Moro, who tried to stop Ol' Silty, not to worry, as there's no such thing as Mold. Ol' Silty is eaten immediately afterwards, which shocks Nathan. As the Mold tries to enter the museum, Nathan asks Moro what they should do, to which Moro replies that they can only wait for it to leave on its own.

After realizing that he's been helping Davenport kill people this entire time, he confronts Davenport about it and says he wants out of their deal. When Davenport threatens him, Nathan says that Erin wouldn't forgive him if Nathan died, which Davenport laughs about. Erin enters shortly afterwards, and, after learning that Nathan doesn't want to kill people and wants to leave, makes it clear that she cares more about HartLife than him. Davenport assigns Nathan another case, this time the target being Neal Henderson.

Nathan hides nearby the coffee trolley, which he poisoned with arsenic. Simon and Neal, who both drink from it, realize however that it was poisoned and vomit it out. After Neal leaves, Nathan asks Simon why he didn't buy Neal a drink, to which Simon replies that Neal didn't want anything. When Simon tells him that Neal headed to the Lightning Rigs, Nathan decides to head there as well, interrupting and ignoring Andrew, who was trying to tell him something.

On his way to the Rigs, Nathan ends up in an elevator with Loamy. They chat about her newspaper and Loamy reveals that she believes Ol' Silty was murdered by "them". After they exit the elevator, Loamy freezes due to a fear of heights, and Nathan claims he'll get help. He makes his way to Lucky Strike and asks him to make Nathan disappear. Lucky tells Nathan his situation is his own fault for not asking for help sooner, and that he should've died instead of helping to kill people. Nathan mentions seeing the faces of the people who died, including Tommy's. Lucky, who was Tommy's friend, tells Nathan he crossed a line and that he won't help him.
