Nate Jacobs

Grew Up… in what he thought was a “normal” family if there is such a thing. His family is wealthy, and Nate grew up with a lot of advantages. But he still hasn’t gotten over the shock from discovering his dad's sex tapes with gay men and transgender women.

Profession… student at East Highland High School where he is the star of the football team. Nate is the top dog of the social hierarchy, and he does everything to take advantage of that status.

Interests… working out, beating up other people, and having sex.

Relationship Status… in an on-and-off toxic and abusive relationship with Maddy Perez. As Maddy says to him, “You're abusive, psychopathic. Most of the time I really hate the way you make me feel.” Nate beats another student up because he thinks Maddy hooked up with the guy, and prior to that, he fantasized about protecting her from would-be rapists in odd self-centered daydreams. Nate is not a good guy to any of the women he gets entangled with, suffice to say.

Challenge… having no idea what he wants or how he feels towards others, without his need for control and manipulation rearing its head. While he seems emotionally vulnerable to Maddy and Jules in rare moments of honesty, it’s unclear what is authentic.

Personality… ruthless, insecure, and perhaps sociopathic. While Rue and Cassie are at least interested in trying to become good people, Nate doesn't care at all. He's a terrifying guy who does everything to maintain control. In a stunning act of violence committed later, even Nate's parents wonder how he turned out so wrong and so monstrous.
