and feels that Michael does not like him and thought he is better than Nate. After being released, Nate leaves for Las Vegas. In the third season, Nate returns to announce that he has started a limousine company, and is lining up investors. His plans fall apart, however, when it is revealed that his chief investor is Tyler Brennen, an old foe of Michael's, who kidnaps him to gain leverage over his brother. He married a blackjack dealer, Ruth (Kylee Cochran, Seth Peterson's real-life wife) after only being with her for a month, and had a son named Charlie with her. Early in the sixth season, Ruth left with Charlie, leaving Nate alone and heartbroken despite all his efforts to clean up his act. When he is around, Michael often calls on Nate to aid the mission in various capacities. He is usually tasked with protecting Madeline, especially when Michael believes the people chasing him may come after her as well. Nate is also used as an "extra body", acting as a bodyguard, driver, or whatever simple role Michael needs to be filled.

In the last scene of the funeral, Michael, Madeline, Sam, Fiona, and Jesse are all collectively looking at Nate with vengeance in their eyes for whoever murdered him. In the seventh season, it's revealed Nate's widow, Ruth, has gone to rehab (presumably over Nate's death), and Madeline has since been fighting for custody of Charlie (played by Wilson Pennell). She doesn't want her grandson to lose all his family, and she wants to honor Nate's sacrifice for his family. Veronica Veronica (Audrey Landers) appears repeatedly in the first season as Sam's latest "sugar momma". A very wealthy woman, she provides Sam with a luxurious apartment and a Cadillac sedan (which Michael promptly decimates during a car chase). However, in the second
