I think what bothers me about Nates character the most he would NOT become the pitiful. He wouldn't have to in order to navigate the world. "Oh, but Nate realized that he was a small fish once he got into a bigger pond." Yeah, no shit, but this is still the guy that stuck a gun in Maddie's face, guys.
Dudes like Nate don't change. The kind of violence they use just gets way more private. It's why a lot of people cringed at that limo scene or anytime Cassie said something that would piss him off.
