Nathan Hale is the main protagonist of Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2. A soldier in the United States military, Nathan rose to prominence after being infected with the Chimeran virus and liberating Britain from the Chimera. Strong, intelligent, brave and yet withdrawn, Hale went on to become one of the original Sentinels. After apparently breaking the Chimera's hold on the United States, Nathan finally succumbed to the Chimeran virus and was executed by one of his subordinates, Joseph Capelli.
Hale was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on November 30th, 1922. When he was two years old, Nathan's parents both died from complications of influenza during the epidemic of 1924. He went to live with his Aunt Rachel, but after she died, was fostered by Frank (who had known Hale's father) and Mary Farley on their ranch in Draper, South Dakota. Treating Hale as their own child, their daughter Susan thought of Nathan as the brother she never had. Hale also had a cousin on his mother's side of the family named Becka Feedle (who would later compete for Hale's shooting record after he joined the Army). Nathan entered the Young Ranchers of South Dakota's annual shooting contest in 1942 and won, scoring a remarkably high accuracy percentile of 96.5%, which would remain unbeaten. He was regarded as somewhat a local legend. In 1945, Nathan enlisted in the U.S. Army to the pride of his foster family, except for Susan (who was suspicious of the government, believing they were "always up to something").
Hale began basic training at Camp Wolters, Texas on April 15, 1945 and on June 27 he was transferred to Company C of the 1st Armored Division, 37th Armor Regiment. In 1946 he was promoted to Private First Class and was cited for racing in tanks and speeding. Two years later Hale was in Company G of the 1st Infantry Division, 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment and was promoted to Sergeant. On October 13th, 1948, Hale worked in a South Dakotan mineshaft. Surviving a tunnel collapse, he rescued three of his coworkers by digging his into another shaft, leading them to safety. On February 1949, he was transferred to Achnacarry, Scotland where he was elected for the Inaugural Ranger Orientation Program. He passed in May 1949, scoring considerably higher than the other candidates with his remarkable instincts. Two months later he was transferred to the 1st Ranger Regiment in Fort Benning, Georgia.
Despite being a capable soldier, Hale led an unconventional gambit during a live-fire exercise that led to the deaths of most of his squad and several observers, leaving himself grievously injured. The incident was attributed to faulty munitions. Hale was rehabilitated at the Army's Higgins Trauma Center in Montana. After exhaustive therapy and many operations, Hale returned to active duty. His commanders rewarded him with higher-risk missions due to his natural skill in battle. Reports consistently described Hale as fearless, an inventive tactician and an able squad leader, but psychologists expressed concern over what they perceived as his growing death wish.
