Nate 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
Nate is a retired soldier who served in the 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army during the Sino-American War. At some point, he married Nora[1] and they had a son, Shaun in 2077. On the morning of October 23, 2077, Nate was preparing for an event at the Veteran's Hall in Concord[2] when a Vault-Tec representative visits the family to advise them that they have pre-approved admittance into Vault 111.
Mere moments later, a news bulletin warns of an imminent nuclear attack, which forces Nate, Nora, and Shaun to rush to the vault prior to a nuclear bomb detonating nearby, leaving their personal Mister Handy, Codsworth behind.
After entering the vault, the family, along with the other admitted residents are placed in cryo-sleep by the Vault-Tec scientists, under the guise of decontamination prior to entering the main vault.
In 2227 he is disturbed from his cryogenic sleep by Conrad Kellogg and two unknown Institute scientists, whoms intention is to acquire Shaun as his DNA is the 'purest' source available to the Institute for their experiments.
If Nora was selected as the player character, he will be executed by Kellogg, while attempting to stop the scientists from kidnapping Shaun. If he was selected as the player character he watches as Nora is executed.
